What do you think CT the tactics
being pursued By Irby2"
well, I suppose they are consid-
cred good politics. As said before,
Troy IS very shrewd man.

asked.
"Oa, as for that" replied the sena-
tor dryly, why. really, l don't care
to express sry opinion. Irby is sharp,
very sharp"
but do you think he will carry the
primary next Tuesiay~
TIE senator looked up at the big
clock ticking away on the wall,
hummed a oar or two of the Ell Cap

80 see. Why, that March affair
wasn't convention; it was merely
caucus Of Democratic factions. At
the me there was some doubt as to
the wisdom Of the nomination. In
fact, there was considerable feeling
on the matter. Now, as to Irby' S re-
Iation to me politically. Irby bas al
ways b2en a smart politician. l think
l said that before. Ee proved an ex
csllent lieutenant to me. He takes
great deal upon himself when he says
he made me-" said the senator, With
merry laugh.
What about prosperity, senator"
Il can't say that have seen any
very material evidences OF it during
nv travels. What prosperity there
is think is only spasmodic, hot. bal

This wheat boom is merely speculative
and IS designed to aid Mark Hanna.
There is netsuch a wonderful crop OF
wheat as some people would have 9th

that the bakers Of Troy have already

Well, was right, wasn't r.
Then the senator drifte6 to the tariff
bill.
The Ding:ey tariff BILL he said,
is the most infamous surrender to
trusts I ever heard of. 1t is positively
appalling, I. will do more to harm
this country and check prosperity
than anything ever heard OF dreamed
about"
The depreciation of silver has not
lessened the senator's ardor for the
white metal. Neither has It decreased
mis- admiration for William Jennings
Bryan.
If Mr. Bryan were to be voted for
today for President" he said, he
would be elected by an overwhelming
vote. The campaign in which he so
brilliantly figured was one OF the
most remarkable in the history OF the
world. He reyiVifed, inyigorated,
