UNCLE JOHNNIE ENGLISH.
A story From Political Campaign
Twenty Years Ago.

From the Lafayette. Ind, JournalD
The suggestion of Judge Caldwell of Ar
kansas as a candidate for Vice President
With Mr BRYAN is one of the puIzling
things In ante-convention politics. Judge
Caldwell may be a very excellent man and
with precisely the material out of which
;sood Vice Presidents are made; but in a
general way the people of the country
know nothing about him. 1t is not likely
that he would add anything at all to the
strength of the ticket
II recalls the case of one Grove a Mis-
souri, lawyer who was in Kansas in 1880
and who did all he could for the Democrats
Of the Suntiower State, in the campaign Of
that year. The Kansas Democrat is not
very noticeable in point of numbers, but he
is intensely devoted to his party and he
makes very great deal of noise
1t was hoped by the Kansas people that
Bayard OF Delaware would be the nominee
for President sAnd they did think that
Ross of Kansas or Vest of Missouri or
some other 'died-in- thewool" gentleman
who had filled a large place in the public
eye would he named for Vice President.
The telegraph brought information that
Hancock the superb had carried off first
honors. and those good men shouted their
approval. Later in the day the announce
ment came that English of Indiana had
been named for Vice President.
The kansans OF Groves town resolved
to ratify. They went seriously and ener-
getically about it. They collected boxes
and barrels and piled them in the middle
Of the principal street; they mad out the
band. and in all ways deported themselves
as loyal Democrats.
But they did wonder Y no in the word
was English of Indiana Not man of
them had heard of him. They teegraphed,
but failed to get the desired information.
They gathered in great numbers. and the
Republicans massed behind them. TIE
fires Of their boxes and barrels arose with
the fervid heat Of their oratory Aud
Grove, standing well up in the sight Of the
populace, delivered his eulogy on Hancock.
He drew that out as long as he could for
he knew when he was done with the head
of the ticket he was pretty near out OF
material. He had been cudgeling his brain
for something to say of the man in the
second place. But this was the best ne
could do.
And as for our candidate for Vie
President. ladies' and gentlemen-as for
our candidate for Vice President. fell
low Democrats-as for our candidate
for Vice President" Che was working
very hsrd) why everybody knows Uncle
Johnnie English, of Indiana"
When the Kansas City papers came in
the next day Mr.. Grove and his friends
found that Mr.. English was named vii
liam. and that he was not Uncle Johnnie
at all. F.a
The Democrats are going to nominate
men this year who have no need of an
introduction 10 the members OF the party
anywhere.

Model House Paint" is a new brand

sPALDING AT THE HELM.
He VIII Furnish Information About
the OIympian Games mt Pnris.

tht mDfan NJ
Since A. G. SpaIding's appointment as
Director of the Sports at the Paris Expo
sition has been made public, he has been
overrun with applications for information
concerning the events that are to he held
there. The Information that has hereto
fore been sent to this country Is entirely
in French, but Mr.. Spalding has mad 1t
translated and it will be ready for distri-
button the latter part of this week.
Mr.. Saplding finds upon investigation
that the French authorities have made
complete arrangements so far as pertains
to the programme, and what success he
will have in endeayoring to have same
changed to suit American conditions re-
mains 10 be seen.
He has received a petition req esting
that there may be a Marathon road race
of twenty-five miles added to the pro-
gramme, and if this is done. Boston has
promised no less than three entries. and
no doubt other long distance runners VIII
be glad indeed to make the trip.
When the question came up as to who
would decide the athletic status of the am
ateur contestants. Mr. Spalding expressed
himself as being in favor of having dis
interested tribunal appointed, having
representative from each country that has
sent in entries. for it is a well known fact
that in many cases the definition of anna
teur is entirely different. In so far as the
entries from America are concerned they
will be entirely in the hands of Mr.. Spald-
ing and 1t is his intention to recognize all
OF the governing bodies who pass upon the
qualifications of their men upon this side
of the ocean. For instance, the Amateur
Athletic Union upon the unattached ath-
letes; the intercollegiate Association, Unit
