THERE will probably not be so
loud a congressional campaign in
this district as was apparent two
years ago, nor will there be so
much money expended. We are
against the buying of delegations,
and are glad the practice is to
be discontinued. Congressman
Sheldon is doing considerable
travelling through his district and
thus far seems to be we'll pleased
at his discoveries, he claiming
his nomination is already prac-
tically assured. There are those
who believe Carlos is too SAN
guinc, however, and that when
convention day comes he will
lack several OF enough to win the
honor of third selection. In
the past two years our congress-
man has learned something of
politics from those who are now
opposing him and he is turning

in Smithheld, Mass, in 1897.
He received a common school
education, doing farm work sum

years Of age, from which time he
was clerk IN mercantile house
until ISoh> when he enlisted in
the Union army as a private.
He was mustered out at the end
OF four and half years, six
months Of which time he was
confined in prison at Anderson

THE Ishpeming Iron Ore of
last week reported Hon. {. d..
Sheldon as saying while in that
county recently that G. A..
Wright could not carry his own
precinct if he (Shelden) wished
to contest it, We can hardly
believe Mr.. Sheldon made this
remark, but if he did we will
only advise him to contest Han
cock by all odds, as he will
doubtless need every vote he can
get in the county convention. -

Mr.. BRyAN's recent declara-
rion in an interview al Chicago
that "we'll be willing to take the
votes Of all the people who have
not had their share of prosperity
and leave the Republicans the
votes of the people who have
had their share, !" is looked upon
by those of his fellow citizens
who are familiar with the facts
as indicating an intention, if not
a desire, to vote for Mckinley
himself this year. Certainly, if
Mr.. Bryan was correctly quoted
and meant what he said, he will
be found in line with the Repub-
Leans. A very fair measure OF
mans prosperity is the amount
of property he returns for pur-
poses of taxation, and, fortunate
ly, a record OF Mr.. Bryan's re-
turns can be found in his home
county.
Seven years ago Mr.. Bryan
was just finishing his second
term III congress. Previous to
that he had been one of a num-
Der of struggling young lawyers
in Lincoln, earning perhaps from
ST., 500 to 81. 900 a year. He

Bryan for each year since, shows

TOLD THE STORY.
fhen the Boys We're Certain that He
Was the Man.

Was the Man.
In the life of Sir George Grey, one Of
Englands explorers and statesmen, is
a pleasant story of his meeting with
some boys in the Natural History Mu.
scum at South Kensington. Lads and
lassies were his delight.
'"There is something in old age" he
said, that likes to have young mind
clinging to it," He took great pleasure
in lingering at the museum and watch
ing the stream of visitors. One day he
saw half dozen boys gathered about
an interesting specimen. Presently they
noticed Sir George, and a delegate ap-
preached with the request:
Please, sir, can you tell us the name
of this creatureY
Strangely enough, it was a specimen
which he had sent home from Austria
lia. He named it, and then the lad
asked:
Where did it come frOm?"
He told them that, and the next ques-
ton came:
"Who killed it?'
A pucker gathered upon Sir Georges
face, and he hesitated, arguing with
himself:
"If | tell them they'll think me an
ImpOstor, and perhaps discount the
other information I've given them"
But the boy was waiting, and Sir
George could only say: Frankly, you
know believe killed it myself"
Here, you fellow" rang out the lads
merry voice "Ile says he killed it! Did
you ever!"
The other boys left the animal to
stare at what they considered even a
greater curiosity. They formed half
circle about him. "Oh, yes" said Sir
George, "its quite true. Now, If you'll
listen I'll tell you the whole story, and
then you can decide for yourselves"
lie began, and their amused incerdu-
lity vanished. They listened breath
lessly, and when he finished, hats and
caps were off, and they chorused:
"Thank you, slr!"
1t was a memorable afternoon.
