1t is a matter Of frequent comment that
Colonel Henderson seldom speaks of his war
record in his campaigns. Recently he was
asked why he was silent on his army ex-
perience. He replied:
"My record is the record Of thousands Of
the boys. My experience was that of every
man who went to the front and got hurt.
1t was not worth the ink and paper which
would be used to print it. When a candi-
date begins on his war record he is at the
parting of the ways. He makes a common
thing out of that which l hold as too
honorable a thing to bring into a political
campaign. And, after all, the boys who
went to the front in 1861 only did their
duty and there were SO many of them that
a man had to do something extraordinary
to bring his head up above the others and l
did not do anything extraordinary"

Colonel Henderson has been a member of
the inner circle of the house for some
years and is the first republican member Of
the committee on rules, of which the speaker
is chairman. When Reed became speaker Of
the house Colonel Henderson was in line for
chairman Of the appropriations committee.
because Mr.. Cannon had been dropped from
the Fifty-second congress. But Mr.. Reed
recognized Mr.. Cannon's experience and
knowledge gained by service as chairman Of
that committee and passed over Colonel
Henderson, but made him chairman of the
judiciary committee. Then. when he ap-
pointed him the leading republican on the
committee on rules, he brought the Iowa
man into the charmed circle of which only
the older and most important representa-
tives are members.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-06-07

Colonel Henderson, though not yet co
years old, appears older on account OF the
physical inirmities resulting from his
wounds in battle. 1t has happened that for
several months at a time he has hardly been
able to attend to his congressional duties
on account of the intense suffering caused
by the growth Of something in the nature
of an abscess near the line of amputation.
He has been Obliged to submit to repeated
surgical operations to obtain relief. On
these occasions he does not take anaes-
thetics. He ordinarily wears a wooden leg,
but at times is compelled to use crutches
without it. He is one of the most genial
of men EXCEPT on those occasions when his
physical infirmities are so great as to wear
severely uoon his nerves. At a congress
sional dinner party, and he is frequently a
guest, he is often "the life Of the occa-
SION"
