said it with the unmistakable emphasis
of man who was in earnest It was
while he was governor Of New York
and during the cholera scare Of 1892.
The details Of the story it is unnecessary
to recount, but it is sufficient to say
that, in speaking Of certain class Of
lawbreakers, Mr.. Flower exclaimed: II
don't care damn for the votes. I will
put down those miscreants. The Incl
dent made for him an international rep
utation and well illustrated his political
principles.
Roswell Pettibone Flower was born
at Theresa, little village in Jefferson
county, N. Y, in 1885. AS a boy he
clerked in a country store, worked in
brickyard aid on farm. he taught
school for while and then opened
jewelry store in Watertown, N. Y. His
business thrift and enterprise soon made
him successful merchant and in 1859
he branched out in New York city, In
which larger field Of action he accumu-
lated millions by shrewd operations in
stocks, bonds and railroad property.
Not until be had become rich man
did he find time to enter politics. In
1881 he was sent to congress and was
reelected the next term. In 1889 he
was favored as candidate for governor,
but the nomination went to Grover
Cleveland. In 1889 he was again re.
turned to congress by big majority.
Two years later he was elected governor
Of New York, his success being due to
the confidence which he inspired in busi-
ness men of all political faiths. He has
been mentioned as candidate for presi-
dent before. Mr.. Flower is still actively
engaged in business in New York, but
spends much Of his time in his COM
Portable home in Watertown.

when he was but years Of age. He
was educated in the public schools of
Rock Island and at the University OF
Michigan and was graduated from the
latter institution III June, 1875. Mr..
Cable engaged in ranching and manu-
featuring and finally turned his atten.
ton to politics. He was elected to the
Fifty-second congress as a Democrat,
receiving 1884 votes against II, 461
votes for W. H. Gest, Republican.
AS a political organizer and as a
hustling director Of campaigns Mr.. Gable
has few equals and no superior in the
west. He is shrewd and brainy and full
Of energy and enterprise. BE has long
been an opponent Of the free coinage Of
silver, and when it became apparent a
few months ago that the Democracy Of
Illinois was determined to send free
silver delegation to Chicago Mr.. Gable
claimed that the free silver delegation
was irregularly chosen and advocated
the choice Of a contesting delegation for
the national convention. Mr.. Gable is one
Of the young politicians Of the west, but
even his bitterest opponents are willing
TO admit that as hustling political Or
ganizer and campaigner he stands in tina
front rank.

for a long period, and was chosen Unit
ed States senator in 1880. He was then
but 40 years Of age. He has served in
that body continuously ever since, his
term Of Office expiring on March IL,
1899. Senator German is always well
behaved. He keeps cool and does not
get mad. He never abuses anybody per-
sonally, but his counsel is worth listen
ing to- There was time when many
Democrats looked upon him as the COM
ing man for the presidency. Some say
yet that he will be president one Of
these days.
He married Miss b. G. Dongan in
1867. His domestic life is as happy as
his public record is honorable. He has q
home near Laurel, Md, which is a
model OF completeness, simple elegance
and comfort. One Of the first tenets Of
Gorman's faith is that the conservative
business sense Of the country, as repre-
sented on the farms and in the stores, is
the main thought. To that powerful

BEN T. CABLE.

Ex-ConRressman and HustlinE Political
Manager In tho State OF Illinois.
One Of the bright Democratic politi-
cal lights of Illinois is the Hon. Benja-
min T. Cable, who managed the western
Democratic headquarters in Chicago in
1899 and who was largely instrumental
in carrying the state for Cleveland dur
ing the presidential election. Mr.. Gable
is also an e1-congressman from the
Eleventh district Of Illinois, and he re-
Gently attracted considerable attention
owing to his advocacy Of gold stand

Altgeld's free silver propaganda. Mr..
Cable was born in Georgetown, KY,
on Aug. II, 1858, but became resident
of Rock Island, Ills, his present home,

Tho shrewd. Br.iny Senator Whose Motto
Il, IL Am . Democrat"
David Bennett Hill has long enjoyed
the reputation Of being one Of the braini-
est and shrewdest politicians in the
Democratic party. He is constant stu
dent, finished orator, an erudite law
yer, a statesman Of large .caliber and a
passed master in the art of political man
agement. When he rises to speak in the
senate, he invariably has something to
say, and if the speech is announced in
advance there are few empty seats in
the senate chamber and in the gal
leries. Senator Hill is now in his fifty
third year. He is a native Of Havana,
N. Y, and was born Aug. 20, 1848.
His ancestors were New England peo-
pie. After securing an academical edu-
cation he removed to Elmira, where he
soon became a prominent politician.
In 1870 he became a member Of the
assembly, in which body he attracted the

He attended every convention and was
q worker, but refused all nominations
to Office until 1890, when he was elected
United States senator from Ohio to sue
oeed Henry B. Payne.
In 1888 Mr.. Brice was Ohio's repre-
sentative on the Democratic national
committee, chairman of the campaign
committee in the ensuing national cam
paign and on the death of William H.
Barnum was unanimously elected chair
man of the national committee in 1889.
Mr.. Brice has been noted throughout
life for his active and energetic habits,
but he is genial companion and fond
family man as well. To his friends be

bridge Sept 8, 1857. He entered Har-
ward ut the early age of 16, and imme-
diately after his graduation in 1877 he
began the study Of law, taking three
years course at the Boston University
Law school He soon began to take an
active interest in municipal politics,
and in 1885 was elected mayor Of Cam
bridge. During his three terms in this
Office he gained the respect Of the
younger element Of his party, and when
in 1888 he was nominated for governor,
though not elected, he developed such
oratorical talents and such an aptitude
for generalship that the next year he
was again chosen standard bearer.
Fiercely and hotly the contest was
waged, the tariff being the main issue.
MIR. Russell made hundreds of speeches,
and when the votes were counted it was
seen that he was steadily gaining, for,
although again defeated. it was by a
very narrow margin.
For a third time he was renominated,
and this time was triumphantly elected,
being the third Democratic governor Of
Massachusetts since the war and the

Of his party in the state 6 New Jersey,
but felt that he could serve his state
better as an humble worker.
In 1899, however, at the urgent re-
quest Of his party he. consented to stand
for United States senator and was elected
to the senate as Democrat to succeed
Hon. Rufus Blodgett, Democrat. he
took his oath of Office March 4, 1893
his term Of Office will not expire until
March, 1899. He has made his presence
felt since he took his seat in Washington
and he is regarded as one Of the ablest
and most aggressive tariff reformers in
the senate. he has a thorough grasp
upon public affairs and when the proper
occasion offers can make aspeech worth

attention and won the friendship OF
Samuel ]. Tilden. In 1877 and 1881 he
was chairman Of the Democratic state
conventions, and In 1889 left the mayor
atty chair of Elmira to become ieuten-
ant governor under Governor Grover
Cleveland. Two years later, when Gov.
ernor Cleveland was elevated to the
presidency, Hill succeeded him as gov
ernor for the unexpired term, and in
1885 was elected governor for the full
term Of three years as reward for his
able and earnest work for the party.
His great strength was shown by the
fact that he was victorious, notwith-
standing the defeat Of Grover Cleveland,
who was the Democracy's presidential
candidate. -
He soon became the dominating figure
in New York state politics, and was re-
elected governor at the expiration OF his
first full term in 1888. In 1891 he was
elected to the United States senate, and
almost instantly became one Of that con-
servative body's leading spirita

Tho Dashins Young Democratic Leader OF
tho Bay State.
One Of the most popular sound money
leaders of the Democratic party in the
east is that dashing young statesman,
William E. Russell The adjective
"dashing" has been associated with
Russell ever since 1890, when he led
the Democracy of the Old Bay State to
victory after three exciting campaigns
which ratified the dry bones of both
parties in that commonwealth as they
had not been shaken since the war. He
was only S8 years old at the time, and
never was governor more of party
idol than was Russell after his election.
William Eustis Russell was born in
the good old university town of Cam

in that state. Mr.. Dickinson will be
characterized by future biographers as a
statesman and lawyer, but he is also
a remarkable politician, He was born
at Fort Ontario, N. Y, in 1846. His
parents afterward moved to Michigan.
He graduated in the law department at
Ann Arbor and at 81 became practic-
ing lawyer. He is now one Of the lead
ing lawyers Of the state, his speciality
being constitutional law. In manner he
is cordial, magnetic and winning. His

Of II he became principal Of the school
It was not long before his ambition took
another turn and he studied law, and
at 28 he was admitted to the bar. He is
one Of the best natural lawyers in the
United States, and to this aptitude he
has added the wisdom Of much reading
and experience. While yet tall, atten-
uated Lad Of 10, he was taken by Gov
ernor Stevenson Of Kentucky on polit-
ical tour, and it frequently happened
that the governor incapacitated himself
from overeating, to which he was prone,
and young Carlisle had to speak for
him. It is thus seen that the future SEQ
retay Of the treasury began his political
career very early. MIR. Carlisle soon
after his appearance in congress won q
place for himself as ready, resource
ful debater and man Of wide informa-
tiom, especially on all questions Of
finance. He has courteous, dignifed
manners and admirable tact and discre-
tiop. he never attacks persons, but
always principles. He never praises nor
expects 1t Of another and invariably
meets flattery with frown.
Mr.. Carlisle was elected to the Forty
fifth, Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty
first congresses, and was speaker Of the
Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth.
Mr.. Carlisle was. elected to the senate
to succeed Senator Beck, and resigned
TO accept the treasury portfolio under
President Cleveland.

of his wisdom. As boy he was studi-

much Of the ordinary farm life thrown

was his first administration that he
was renominated in 1891, and he was
reelected, although every other Demo
cratic candidate on the ticket was de-
feated.

in 1880 and at Chicago in 1884. He was
first elected to the United States senate
to fill the vacancy caused by the appoint.
ment Of Thomas F. Bayard secretary Of
state; was reelected in 1887, and again
in 1898. Although the attorney general.
ship Of his native state was the only
Office he held prior to his election az
senator he has always been active in
political affairs, and in the Democratic
national conventions Of 1880 and 1884
he presented Bayard's name for the
presidency. During President Cleve-
lands first term Senator Gray occupied
the position as recognized spokesman Of
the senate for the president and the lat
ter decided to offer him the chief JUS
ticeship Of the supreme court Of the
United States. After this proffer Of the
high judicial post it was considered by
local politicians as being too hazardous
to create another vacancy in the United
States senate from Delaware in fear of
a Republican victory, which followed.
Senator Gray is a man Of magnificent
physique. He is more than feet high
and splendidly proportioned He is q
fluent and eloquent speaker, an ardent
Democrat and graceful and courteous
gentleman. It is said Of him that when
he rises from his seat in the senate Del
aware seems far from being one Of the
smallest states in the Union. His asso-
ciates at the bar in Delaware consider
him the best read and one Of the most
gifted members Of the profession. Sem
ator Gray's term Of service in the senate
