john Q. Slack WAS a druggists sun

salts and tccthlrt:shes to get orders
for and he Was tlc ONLY traveller. and

got pointer down the road, and be
arrived on an engine hired for the last
run Of fifty miles. He had telegraphed
ahead for a carriage. and he reached
the hotel with the horses on gallop.
As be was told by the clerk that all the
best rooms were taken be offered to
rent the hotel for week, and. though
the arrangement was not closed, they
turned an old drummer out and gave
him the parlor. He rushed up stairs
and down, out around town and back,
and when he finally found time to
draw a long breath he explained to the
wondering and bewldered people:
"Philadelphia was making corner
en- epson salts. and Boston was max
ing one on tcothbrushes. and our house
was fighting both. Thank God, we
have busted 'em. and there will be no

From that day John Q.'s position was
established. as was that of his house.
For months and months his house was
unable to pay full salaries. and his
watch and pin and overcoat were al
ways in pawn, but no one ever knew it.
John @. had the cheek Of government
mule and the tongue of woman. He
would leave hotel bills behind him
where other men had been arrested; he
would take orders where other men
had failed in disgust. There might be
other drummers at the hotel, but they
came in only after John. II one OF

ing they were greeted with applause and
hurrahs.
The plans Cor the final gathering of the
clans at the Auditorium contemplated
monster parade to be participated in by
every ward in the city and in anticipation
the managers of each, arranged for in
the same. The enthusiasm that this would
create was not relished by the Republic
an machine and great was their delight
when the rain began to fall. Their cha
grin, however, only equaled their aston
ishmenk when last night they saw the
marchers swinging up the street, the
bands playing and the steady patter Of
the rain as it fell on the asphalted streets
keeping time with the thousands Of feet
as they stepped bravely and with ryth1nie
tread through the slush and pools Of
dirty water.
Their ArdOr Undamped.
From all four points Of the compass
they came and as each marched into
view at the Ryan hotel before swinging
on to Seventh street. they were greeted
with cheers by the hundreds who had
gathered in the sheltered nooks Nearly
all were headed by a brass band and
where this was lacking voices shouting
the names of Mayor Smith and their
ward alderman furnished the music.
Each column had a profusion of banners
and transparencies inscribed with the
names of the Democratic candidates and
the ward slogan.
The largest columns in point of num-
bers were from the Eighth, the First, the
Third, the Sixth, the Ninth and the Sec
ond wards. To those wards whose paved
streets gave partial security against
soiled feet, parading through down-pour
Of rain with the water streaming from
curb to curb was something that called
for more than mere enthusiasm but
when those who hailed from the muddy
marches of the Sixth and First wards
came in sight they were cheered to the
echo.
Candidates Led COntingents.
Aid Mariarty headed his delegation
from the Sixth ward, William Bushmann
from the First and likewise Aid. Dahl
quist from the Third The other wards
were similarly headed while in a num-
ber of instances the assemblymen and
other candidates were to be found in
the ranks.

Johnny Selb, Republican candidate for
alderman in the Fifth ward has resort9d
to a campaign dodge to further his own
interests and initiate against the inter
ests Of Mayor Smith, that few men would
suspect even Selb, of attempting.
In August, 1901 Selb asked the mayor
for letter of introduction and recon-
mendation. The object Of the letter was
to assist Selb in securing the accom-
plishment of a desire purely personal and
Mayor Smith anxious TO help a young
man gave the requested letter

it was intended. There an honorable man
