HOW It WAS BEFORE HOBAR7'S TIME

Grants first term. The convention
term was held at Phila delphia, in June,
1868. Early in that year Mr.. Colflx
had announced that he was not a can
ddate for a second term, but, later
on, in disregard of this statement he
tried for the place, and he was a can
didate when the convention met. Dur
ing his four years of service Mr.. Colfax
had undoubtedly alienated some of his
former friends. He had lost a good
share of his popularity-confessed
indeed, he was under cloud in 1868;
the influence exerted by the corps CT
newspaper correspondents at Washing
ton was heavily against him. The out
come of the test in convention was the
nomination of Henry Wilson, who at
the time was senator for Massachu-
sets. Henry Wilson died after having
served about half of his term.
In order of time William A. Wheeler
was the next vice president. He served
with Hayes, and an excellent choice he
proved to be. Never was this country
taken more suddenly by surprise than
when it learned that the republican
national convention of 1880, as the Sc
quel of the memorable three hundred
and Six" fight for Grant and the final
nomination of Garfield, had selected
Chester A. Arthur for the vice presi-
dency The news was that this selec-
ton was a concession to Mr. Conkling;
those who knew Arthur felt at first
that Conkling must have accepted Ar
thur, who, of course, was his friend,
in resentment and with fixed purpose
to let the ticket be loaded as heavily as
possible. New York knew "Chet" Ar
thur as local boss and as a profess
sional politician whose machine meth
DDS were notorious. The shooting of
Garfield and his death, when he had
been only a few weeks in office,
brought Arthur into the white house.
The record is that the Arthur admins
tration was distinguished for its excel
lence. Undoubtedly they are not far
from right who always have insisted
that if, in 1884 Arthur had been nomi

and permanently removed from ma
tional politics then and there. But
Cleveland won, and his election carri d
Thomas A. Hendricks into the vice
presidency.
For years Hendricks had craved the
presidency itself. He was the leading
candidate for the nomination, as
against Tilden, in 1876; he received
fair number of votes in the convention
of 1880. when Hancock was nominated:
he was a candidate-although with less

showing Of votes than Bayard had, OF
Thurman, or Randall-in the con.
vention which, in 1884, nominated
Cleveland. Hendricks was an aggres-
sive, restless, prejudiced politician. Be-
fore he had been many days in tine
office of vice president it became clear
that he was not proposing to get on
pleasantly with the man in the white
house. His determination was to make
Cleveland an impossibility for the nom
ination in 1888; he intended to get that
for himself. A higher power put an
end to this ambition-Hendricks was
inaugurated in March, 1885; in Novem-
Der of that year he died, and republi-
can senators performed the duties of
president of the senate during the
Cleveland term--these were John Sher-
man and John, J. ingalls,.
In turn came, in 1888, the Harrison
administration with Levi P. Morton in
merchant and banker an ambitious
gentleman who aspired to political pre-
ferment, but who had recently been de-
feated in an effort to be a senator for
New York. The public wondered what
shift Morton would make of it. He did
as we'll as the average of them--he did
we'll enough. But when, four years
later, the republicans nominated Har-
rison for a second term, they rejected
Morton foolishly and at their own cost.
They nominated Whitelaw Reid, VINO
had been the follower but not the sue
cessor of Horace Greeley in the office
of the New York Tribune, a friendless
and unfriendly man whose father in

The reading between the lines in the
inspired" gossip relating to second
place on the Mckinley ticket for next
year is a broad hint that Mr.. Hanna is
prepared to receive sealed bids and
that it's a question of the fellow VINO
marks the highest figure. Mr.. Hobart
is rich. He has made a good-enouSh
vice president, but he has contributed
generously and constantly and he AYERS
that he has had enough.
1t isn't the fashion in this country
to honor a vice president with a nomi-
nation for a, second term. In 1860 Han
nibal Hamlin was elected vice presl-
dent on the ticket with Lincoln. -Four
years later his friends insisted that
second term for Lincoln ought to carry
with it the denomination of Mr.. Ham
lin. But questions of eXpediency con-
trolled-the sentiment prevailed among
mana cling republicans that there must
be recognition in the national conven-
ton of the large element known
throughout the North as war demo-
Gratis" Prominently representing this
class were two well-known men-Dan-
lei s. Dickinson, of New York, and An
drew johnson, Of Tennessee. Undoubt-
edly the nomination would have gone
to Dickinson had the New York dele
CATION in the national convention said
the word. But New York hestated.
One consideration that gave pause to
it's members was found in New Yorks
wish that, in any event, Mr.. Stewards
place as secretary of state in the sec
ond-term Lincoln cabinet be assured;
they feared that the selection of Dick
inson for the vice presidency might put
Seward in peril.
Then, too, it was urged that, hitherto,
the republicans had taken their candl-
dates, both for the presidency and for
the vice presidency, from the North,
contrary to the precedents with all
other parties in national politics. The
argument was that the nomination of
johnson would nationalist republican
ism. Johnson was named-the evils he
brought upon his party, when the muir
der of Lincoln promoted him to the
presidency, are familiar chapters i'll
this countrys history. In the national
convention of 1864, resolution was, in
fact, introduced declaring for the nom
nation of Lincoln and Hamlin, for
president and vice president respective
w. Those who objected to this plan
prevailed. Johnson was nominated,
Mr.. Hamlin accepted the situation and
thereafter, he served many years in
the federal senate as one of Names
members.

In the days of the recent city election
in Butte. after the democrats had NOM
mated Mr.. Mccarthy for mayor and
stationed him on a platform that de-
nounced w. A. Clark's bribery doings,
I was spoken to more than once by
Butte people whom l know well and
some of whom I highly respect. in re-
gard to the likelihood of getting Clark
punished by the powers at Washington.
In a sort Of confidential way, these
friends of mine expressed the hope that
Montana may never be disgraced by
the presence of Clark in the senate, as
the occupant of a purchased seat, but
most of them, it was plain to see, were
men of little faith They We're doubt
ing Thomases Listening to them, they
left one with the impression that they
had sounded the depths of the law and
mastered the story of all the prece-
dents touching the attempts to expel
from the senate the claimants accused
of the purchase of the senatorship.
To the minds of several of these gen.
tlemen there is no getting a bride
giver out of the senate, in view of the
action recently taken in the case of
Mark Hanna. I have read the report in
the Hanna case, have read up enough
of the Payne case and of other cases
to become fairly familiar with them.
The point to which my friends urged
my attention appears to be this, that a
man can buy the vote of legislators
and let his direct agents be caught at
it and still hold his seat, but he must
not himself hand over any money or
other consideration direct to the legis-
lator whom he purchases The assump-
ton on the part of those of my ac-
quaintances to whom I have referred
Is that Clark could hand money, for

law was rich The result was that,
along with a good many other disas-
tiers, the Harrison ticket lost New York
that year. Thus this survey brings us
down to Adlai E. Stevenson, who was
vice president in the Cleveland second
term, and to Carrot A. Hobart, the
present incumbent. Morton, Stevenson
and Hobart are the three living Amer
leans who have held the office of vice
president.
BY the way, in relation to the de-
scent of presidents and vice presidents.
a curious little item is brought out by
an examination of the records. Here
is a little table which accounts for the
paternal ancestry of this countrys
twenty five presidents and its twenty
four vice presidents:

While Dutch ancestry gets credit for

that, in the Welsh total of two. it was
both times the same Welshman-Thom-
as Jefferson. Conspicuously thus far,
Great Britain has had the pull at

house; but it is certain that, before the

the descendants of the Kaisers domain

would take up the study and grow
ing of the orchid.
To make a beginning one should e.
cure a good manual OF culture BY
far the best practical manual on. the
subject is an English work by Bar
berry, orchid grower to the Hon.
Joseph, Chamberlain, NJ P, entitled
the Amateur Orchid CuItivator's
Guide" An American edition of this
work is soon to be issued by the Put
mans, OF New York. In a general way
the points to be considered in the
window culture OF orchids are: First.
that during the cooler season the
plants are more or less inactive and
need little water. Second. that dur
ing the warm season, when growth is
more rapid, the roots should be more
or less continually surrounded by
moist air. Third. that provision should
be made 20 protect the roots from be-
coming dry during the period of
growth, yet allow a much more free
contact with air than is usual in the
case of most other plants; this is &C
complished by the nature of the re-
ceptacle in which the plants are grown
by using a fibrous peat and moss for
potting soil and by frequent waterings
and clippings. Unless fresh rainwater,
or other water containing the neces-
sary fertilizing elements, is used to
feed orchids there will be a gradual
degeneration in the constitution Of the
plants; but this is minor matter in
the culture Of few plants which can
be replaced at small expense. Cattleyas
will usually survive starving treat
ment for ten or more years Orchids
are less particular about the architec-
tural nature of their abode than any
other plants. Enclosed windows or

The w,nsow Culture of Orchids

Orchid culture is simple, but to un-
derstand the matter one must go into
the principles of the culture, and know
the difference in the nature Of the eul-
tivated orchids from most plants eul-
tivated in glass houses or windows
There is no reason why one who grows
window plants cannot grow orchids
wherever other Towering plants are
grown. I know one lady who grows
cattleyas splendid1y in an ordinary
window. Orchids are the latest result

Brown rot of the potato; whiting of

Various insects, such as Colorado
beetles, flea beetles, and blister beetles,
serve as carriers of the disease. These
Insects may feed on a diseased plant,
and in their visits to adjoining healthy
ones infect the tissues through bites
and possibly in other ways.
Treatment the South,
namely, in South Carolina, Mississippi,
Alabama, and adjacent states where
this disease is known to occur, thor
ough system of spraying, such as rec
commended for early blight, should be
followed. In addition, all diseased
vines should be removed and destroyed
as soon as possible, and the tubers
should be dug and either used at once
or stored in a cool, dry place. In
planting it would be well to avoid land
which has just been used for tomatoes

from localities where the disease is abb
sent should be used if practicable.

Feeding Colts.

The future usefulness Of the colt
depends upon nothing so much as the
feed during the first year Of its life,
says Rural World. To be useful in any
way a horse must have good bones,
and, above all, good joints. Bones are
built like the rest of the body, from
the feed consumed by the young an
imal, and if the food does not contain
the elements essential to the growth
of the bone, it is evident that there
will be a weakness in this part OF the
organism. The milk from the dam
contains a large proportion Of the most
necessary mineral substances, such as
lime, but the colt seems to require
much more in a short time, and may
be seen trying to supplement this lin
tied supply by taking occasional
mouthfuls of soil. Probably no ma
teriaIs at the farmers disposal contain
more mineral or bone-forming mate
rial than bran and oats, and the colt
should have plenty of these and good
clover hay from the start. 1t Is quite
safe, as rule, to give as much as two
quarts Of these concentrates mixed per
diem as soon as the colt can be taught
to eat them, and this may be grad
ually increased. The colts tempera-
ment and character should be closely
studied, however, and ration gaugeo
accordingly. These concentrates anu
clover hay being rich in protein or
fesh-forming material, sinew and ten
don, as well as bone, and such are the
great desiderata in colts. Feed lib
orally of tt right kind of feed, and
nature will do the rest so far as bodily
development is concerned.
