Gov Richards, of Wyoming, is indeed
stranger to Washington. He has little buSi-
ness this side of the Rockies. His life has
been spent in the development OF those
mountains. and he loves them. While not
a native of the commonwealth which hs
honorS as the chief executive, he is fine
specimen of those hardy sons OF the West
who have made that empire blossom like
the rose. Gov. Richards is the father of one
of the most beautiful women OF his noun
famous country. She is a veritable little
mountain pink. Her superb beauty is not
her only title to distinction She is
young woman who knows the politics of her
State as well as her distinguished father,
perhaps better. She has been practically the
governor of the State ON more than one
occasion.
About a year ago while Mr.. Richards
was absent from the capital, in some re-
mote quarter where the telegraph had
not yet penetrated, there was an uprising
of Indians. The situation was growing
serious: the uprising must be put down
The daughter was equal TO the emergency.
Having acted as her fathers private sec
retary when he was at home, upon this

Just Governors These;
Described AS They Are

Gov. Black, of New York, perhaps the
is not a total stranger to Washington. He
was, up to last January, member of Con-
gress. Mr.. Black first sprang into fame
becasue of the charge that he had sent his
laundry through the mails to his home in
Troy under Congressional frank. This
story had a wide circulation and brought
Mr.. Black prominently before the country;
andit was not long after that he was nomi-
mated by the Republicans for governor and
elected by a large majority, which would
Indicate that the laundry story was not be-
lieved by many of his fellow citizens.
Gov. Black is almost forty years OF age.
Heis long, lean andlaak. He has a shaggy
head of hair, which would give him high
rank in football rush line. He wears spec
tacles, which make him look much older
than he really is. He is young in politics
and has leaped to the front with vigor
that has astonished his elders. Gov. Black
does not pose as handsome man. He
knows he is not. He is new to Washington
as horseback rider. While not up TO the
standard in this line of endeayor, his ap-
pearance in the parade will compare IA
vorably with that OF young Jack Astor, VINO
was the longest legged colonel who ever
wore the title by the grace of a New York
governor. Mr.. Astor's fad ran to trousers

for the second time.

Brooklyn, was the last This was not

net position, and, as the Treasury had
gone to Window and was credited to
Minnesota, there was nothing left for New
York hut to try for the Navy This place
had been promised to Congressman John
r. Thomas, of Illinois, who had been for
years the most prominent Republican on
the Naval Affairs Committee of the
House. Mr. Thomas felt so certain that
he was going into the Cabinet that he had
purchased from a wen-known diamond
broker a handsome brooch, costing about
$4,000, fc, his wife to wear at the inangu-
raj ball. Mr. Thomas likewise made other
and similar purchases for his handsome
daughters. In addition to these expenses,
Mr.. Thomas had contracted to take fine

The failure OF Major Mckinley TO select
his entire Cabinet before his arrival in w ash
ington was not q strange experience for
new President In the choice of his official
advisers the new President is supposed
TO play his greatest game at politics; but
the opposite is oftenthe result. There are
almost always more men who want TO
enter the Cabinet than there are models or
patent churns in the Patent office. Log
rolling for places has always been part
of the political history of the country.
Not until the election of the last five
Presidents has it become the custom of
whole States to send delegations TO the
President-elect, asking that some particu-
lar person be honored. While this custom
has become so engrafted into the political
methods OF both parties, it is in many re-
spects regarded as discourteous TO the
newly elected. 1t has the appearance Of
not allowing the President to make his own
selections; but it suits the politicians, who
have in view at all times the beauties and
the benefits of patronage. Many is the
man who felt certain he would at least be
conspicuous for -four years as aCabinet Off
Ger, arisen on the morning of the 5th OF
March to find that not his, but some other
name, had been written.
When President-eleot Garfield came to
Washington on the ST day OF March, 1881,
he was short on all of his Cabinet with the
exception Of James q. Blaine, who was,
within a few days after tie electionin No
vember, positively agreed upon for Secre-
tary OF State. Mr. Garfield felt the i'm
perative necessity OF having Mr.. Blaine,

He Was Particular About Them and
Couldn't Be Fooled

Naturally, a young man SO manly, and
at the same time so handsome and already
distinguished, says Prof. Woodrow Wilson,
could not help being courted by any society
He lived genially, and was matured by
pleasures as much as by his soldierly duties.
There was little that was debonair about
the disciplined and masterful young soldier, y
declares Prof. Wilson; but this evidently is
a mistake. He certainly was as careful
to be well dressed as any young gallant
inEngland. Col. Washingtonhad his clothes
made in England
To be sure, he wrote to his tailor: 81
want neither lace nor embroidery. Plain
clothes. with a gold or silver button, if
worn in genteel dress, are all l desire.
My stature is six feet; otherwise rather
slender than corpulent-" But he was
careful that the material, the color and the
fit should be of the best and most tasteful.
After he married, he saw that elegant stuffs
were provided from over the sea for Mrs.
Washington and her children. and rather
ornate were the liveries for the servants
Of the household-a livery OF white and
scarlet

fashion, and the master of Mount Vernon

bride, and he Comptroller Of the Currency.
1t was he who suggested to Mr. Cleveland
the advisability Of selecting Mr.. Olney. Mr..
Butler was instrumental in bringing Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Olney together. Hislaw
partner was big, brainy man, he said.
This meeting took place on the day
previous to Mr. Clevelands departure for
WASH ngton, and the day after the
President elect had rendered the place OF
Attorney General to Judge Pierce jerks,
of Pennsylvania who had been during MIR.
Cleveland's first term Solicitor General.
Judge jerks was naturally highly flat
tered at the proffered honor and went at
once to the home of his minister and told
the good news. The two knelt down in
prayer that the administration of PIcsi-
dent Cleveland might be wise, and bring
happiness to the toiling millions, and that
the Department of Justice might be
iudiciously administered Judge jerks,

doubt, was the reason why he did not f1nd

more than a captain.
When Air. Tanner was nominated fer ths
governorship last July M KOhlsaat, ed
itOr OF the Chicago Times Herald, advised
the Republicans Of Illinois 70 take TO the

schooled in the arts and fads OF society. u
is said OF him that he protested for days
before his inauguration in early January
against wearing a spiketail coat upon TIE
occasion Ofthe inaugural ball a Springfield.
In the hour OF his greatest distress he ap-
pealed TO II. H. Higgenbcthem, late Of
Worlds Fair fame, who has appeared IN
dress suits at breakfast. Mr. Higgen-
bothem, who contracted the dress suit habit
in 1898, said that unless the new gov
ernor wore a spiketan coat and large ex-
panse Of shirt front, Chicago society would
not receive him This settled it, and Re
was at the bah dressed in the regulation
costume. This may have been his first
offense; at any rate Illinois was quick to
forgive him.

Gov. Hastings, of Penns sylvania, is one OF
the giants of the Keystone State. Six feet
three inches in height, he is man who will
quickly be noticed in any crowd, no matter
how large. Gov. Hastings is not only a
physical giant, but Intellectually he is
ranked among the brainy men of the Key

as governor, and is not without the honor

fact, previous TO the St Louis convention

very considerable space in his bonnet. He

taking in the full scope OF Pennsylvania

he may be the Major Mckinley OF the situ-

the party pi piomises vigorous endeavor to
secure International bimetallism, but 1t
is already generally admitted that these
efforts must prove absurdly Intellectual.
The American people are likely to be sharp
ly on the watch for that prosperity of which
Mr.. Mckinley has been said to be the
advance agent. In these few days the
administration will feel the satisfaction
OF it's greatest triumphs. No administration
has ever been without its troubles. They
are almost sure to come to this one.
The Capital City and all it's people, ire
spective Of party, welcome Mr.. Mckinley
and his family and all of the members of
his administration. They believe that all
these Americans are patriotic and well
intentloned. They will go out and in
much as others do, but with larger re-
sponsibilities. They will be welcomed
socially everywhere, as they will socially
welcome everybody. Whatever else it
may not be, this is q period of good feeling
The business and the politics implied in
this vast, imposing ceremonial must be
dealt with later.

Gov. Drake, OF Iowa, came TO Washing
ton for the first time since he was elected
TO his present office. He doesn't come
East often. The last time he was east Of
Chicago was when he, with other high
officials OF his State, came 20 Philadelphia
TO attend the ceremonies incident TO the
launching OF the new batJIeShip Iowa"
when Gov. DTake's daughter, the most
beautiful girl in Iowa, cracked the neck
OF a champa gne bottle across the bow Of
the ship as she glided gra cefuily
into the water. Gov. Drake has
not been in politics a great many years He
has been long identified with railroads.

Gov. scofield, Of Wisconsin. who was
elected at the last election. is not a novice
in politics. He belongs 70 the famous
Scofeld family, many OF whom distin-
guished themselves upon the field Of bat
tie in the war between the States. Gov.
scofield rose to be a general, and at the
conclusion OF hostilities he returned 70
his home in Wisconsin, and has for years
been one OF its most prominent citizens
In the last campaign he was nominated for
governor over x-Congressman Robert
lie Toilette, after two days session In
convention, and conducted one OF the
most spirited campaigns ever known, being
elected by the largest majority ever re-
corded in that State.
Gov. Scofield has not made many pil.
grfmages to WASH ngtBn for the pasttwenty
years. He comes at this time accompanied
by a staff of the handsOnest men that could

city. 1t was not until late In the after
noon OF Inauguration day that Mr.. Thomas
was told that his name had been stricken
from the list. He did not attend the ball,
but instead remained in his modest home
and no doubt thought great many times
that new Presidents, like republics, are
ungrateful.
When MFR. Cleveland came to WASHINGTON
from Lakeside, N. j., where he had spent
che most of the winter of 1S92-'93, he
had his Cabinet nearly completed. He
had not fully determined upon either his
Secretary of the Interior or his Attorney
General. Willie Hoke Smith, who was
eventually CHOSEN Secretary OF the Interior,
had made a visit to Mr.. Cleveland's law
office, in William street the suImise that
he was to go into the Cabinet was purely
pToDlematical. Other names were con-

Gov. Lowndes, of Maryland. jumped to
the fore front of national politics when, in
1895, he was elected by large majority
the chief executive OF his State, being the
first Republican elected 20 that office for
the past thirty years. Gov. Lowndes is
what may be termed a handsome man
not as handsome, perhaps, as Senator
Charles r. Gibson, OF Maryland, the only
really handsome man in the Senate-but
nevertheless Gov. Lowndes is regarded
throughout the entire terrapin common
wealth as one OF the best-Iooking men IN
the Republican party. He dresses in the
latest fashion, though his clothes are OF
modest selection.
The morning times., 1897-03-03

Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky, Ike Gov.
Lowndes, achieved a decided reputation in
national political sense by happening
the first Republican ever elected to
governorship of the Ozark and Bloody
Ground" In Mr.. Bradley's case it was a
matter OF pluck and determination. He
was his party's candidate for the govern
orship four times, and not until the fourth
was he rewarded. Defeat never daZed
him. BE said when he was an obscure
lawyer many years ago, practicing in the
mountains, that he would some day be
governor OF his native State; nor would he
change his politics TO achieve this goal
of his ambition. He was Republican
when he cast his first vote. He is still a
Republican, and the master workman OF
his party Heis bold, aggressive, dashing
fellow, is Bradley, good and fair
fighter. He never strikes below the belt
he fights hard. He gives hard blows and
is willing to take that kind OF punishment
he is a typical KentUckian in nearly
every sense, though he has never tasted
any Of the product OF that Commonwealth
which has made the name Of Kentucky IA
nous throughout the world. Gov. Brad
ley is total abstainer. He usually wears
a soft white hat, much after the style Of
that famous hat that contributed no little
to the fame OF Horace Greeley. He has his
clothes made by provincial tailor at his
home town of Lancaster. He is a man of
action, and not OF theory. He sees things
as they are. He has sought to bring about
many needed reforms in his State. He
says he is through with politics, and be-
fore his term expires may resign his office
and retire to private life and continue the
practice of law He is good lawyer, and
in criminal cases he has few equals in the
country.

All nature even wore its most lovely
garb. He answered the valued message
saying that he would be only too glad
to accept the Attorney Generalship and
would so dispose his business matters that
he might come to Washington within the
next few days and be in readiness to
take the oath of office and at once enter
upon it's duties. He came to Washington,
still wearing his broad smile of content
ment. He arrived the day before he was
to be named officially as the next At
torney General But what was his aston
ishment and chagrin as he sat in the
gallery of the Senate and heard the name
of Richard Olney read from the clerks
desk with the others to make up the
Cabinet of the newly installed President.
Judge jerks returned to his Pennsylvania
home that night and has not since been
in Washington.

Gov. Tanner is a native product OF IN
