His Coup d'l;tat.


From the Detroit Free Press.
One of Detroits politicians of former
years, who had the good sense to quit
the game before it got the better of
him. tells of an interview he had with
President Cleveland:
II was after a lucrative federal posi-
ton and went on to Washington with the
hope of promoting my interests. After
the senator's and representatives had
promised their assistance, and | had
waited until convinced that they were not
raising heaven and earth in my behalf,
| made a personal call on the president.
| had to wait my turn, and while doing
so gained a pretty fair idea of the annoy
anccs to which he was being subjected by
the hungry horde in which I was Il unit,
and which swo0pS down upon every pres
iicnt during his term of office, When ii
came my turn | expressed my sympathy
and told him ! had decided not to press
the little personal matter which had
brought me 10 call unon him.
:" Do you know that YOU have given me
an entirely new experience" he laughed
al presume SO. but l am sincere
Tie took a good look at me with those
penetrating eyes of his. and then said: =
would hurry home, young man, This no
bic resolution of yours is too good tc
last. Try to get out of the city before
you experience a change of heart.
This is not what | expected as the re
suit of my diplomatic move, but | entered
no protest and hurried back to Detroit. |

pointment within 50 days, and two o
three more likely candidates never cease,
