An Ideal Politician.
After Hanna, suppose, Senator Quay
will be the most sought and most talked
about man at - Louis. Quay has aston.
shed the people who knew him best by his
course IN this campaign They were az
first surprised that he should come out a
a candidate. and then they were surprised
that he should give so little assistance 20
the anti Mckinley combination Their
greatest surprise was when the senator
made his now famous visit 70 Canton
Quay has the reputation Of being a man
who never goes hack on his friends who
stands by them till the last gun IS fired.
but he is also known as an agile politician,
who invariably lands on his feet. In this
case Quay kept up little connection with
Mckinley and his managers all through |
the fight. and when the proper time arrived |
he not Only went into the Mckinley camp
himself, but Loyalty endeavored Co make |
terms for his friends. Quay is perhaps the |
ideal politician. He is regarded here as
the ableSt political manager in the United |
States, and at ST. Louis every man that |
knows him will want 10 renew acquaint-
ance, while every one that does not know
him will try his best &c get an introduc-
ton Quay is a delegate from one Of the |
PENNSYLVANIA districts and has announced
his intention to go 10 the convention.

AS a conversationalist, as a story teller |
and speechmaker Chauncey is unrivaled |
The latest story or joke is sure 10 he on his /

of thing-and their name Is legion-hang /
around Chauncey like bees around bloom /

watching Mr. Depew at former national |
conventions that his reputation for levity /
is a great hindrance 10 his ambition Men /
do not take him seriously. Ii is dread
full thing to be compelled to live up 10
fame for fun.
Fine Fellow.
