In 1888, when Cleveland was nOlni-

the key which clicked out the first init
nation of the result. She was Miss Mol
lie Landrigan then and enjoyed the
reputation Of being the fastest operator
in the west Since then she has been
married, and her name Is now Mrs w. x.
Macklind. It has been months since she
has touched a key, but when the Postal
Telegraph company recently began max
ing arrangements for handling the ire
mendous amount Of business that Will
be thrust upon it at St. Louis the man
ayers found that MoIlie LaEdrigan was
needed and needed badly. Mrs. Mack
lind at first refused to return TO the work
which she had given up when she be-
came a wife, but she was persuaded to
press the key once more and take hand
in telling TO the country the story OF
what promises TO be one Of the most ex-
citing political events of the decade.
Besides Mrs. MackIind the Postal com
pany will have force of 80 expert send
ers, each one of whom uses the code by
which they are able TO send 5000 words

will have a similar force at work, and
elaborate preparations are even now be-
ing made IN providing sufficient wires
for these operators to work on. Several
other women telegraphers will be en-
ployed ON convention work, but the ma
iority of the operators viii be men.
