Charles Frederick, and he is always
termed Fred, while Crisp readily an
sWered to the salutation of Charley.
To-day however, Georgia is not with
out its Charley. He comes from Ma
con, the old home of Paramount
Blount, and he appears in the Congress
slonal Directory as Charles L. Bart
lett. His friends have lately taken the
liberty of accosting him as Charley. It
has apparently renewed his youth and
revived the pleasant memories of early
days Here is the antithesis of Bart
lett in politics and personal appearance
Ten. Charles H. Grosvenor of Athens,
.. The name Charley would almost
seem to have been made expressly for
him; yet it is rarely used In discus
sion he has been repeatedly dubbed
Santa Claus, yet not always with sue
cess. In the last Congress Willard D.
Vandiver of Cape Girardeau, Mo-, pleas
antly alluded to Grosvenor as Kris
Kringle, when the Buckeye statesman
spouted flame instead of Christmas
gifts. He said that he would rather
resemble Santa. Claus than a DEATHS
head on a bottle of poison. AS Vandi-
yer is unusually thin and prehensile.
he, himself, appreciated the hit, and
joined in the laughter created by the
retort.
Indiana is represented by Charley
DC h.
Very few address him as Charley, but
the custom is spreading, and ere long
he will undoubtedly be one of the rec
ognized Charleys of the House. His
popularity seems to- increase in pro-
portion. One of the few recognized
orators of the House, he ever com
mandS its attention, and sustains the
reputation achieved in the discussion
over the Spanish war. The Sunflower
State is represented by a brace of
Charleys. One is Charley Curtis, said
to be a recognized chief among the
haW Indians. His face shows unmis-
taxable indications of Indian blood. His
hair is inlSy in hue, and he has a flash
ing black eye. Whenever a delega-
ton of the aborigines visits the capt.
tol it invariably pays its respects to
Sycamore Charley of Topeka. With
the Kaws he converses in their native
tongue. AS he is the only Indian ON
Indian affairs, the Indians of the plains
and elsewhere recognize his power and
ability and treat him with the utmost
Difference. Curtis was presiding in
Committee of the Whole when Prince
Henry visited the House. On being
told that he was an aborigine, the
Prince regarded him with much curl
osity and shook his hand cordially
when he met him in the room of the
Ways and Means.
Charles Frederick Scott is the other
Kansas Charley. There is no Indian
blood in his veins. He has been presi-
dent of the State Editorial Association
and was conspicuous participant in
the discussion over the oleomargarine
bill. Aside from Gen. Grosvenor there
are two other Charleys from the
Buckeye state, neither of whom are
addressed by the familiar designation.
One is Gen, Charles Dick, chairman
of the Committee on Militia, and chair
man of the Ohio Republican State
Committee, and the other Charles Q.
Hildebrant of Wilmington. Other
Charleys well known to fame are
Charles c. Reid of Arkansas, Charles
r. Thomas of Newbern, N. c., Charles
w. Thompson of Tuskegee, Ala, and
Charles F. Cochran of st. Joseph, Mo.
The latter is a printer and has edited
the Atchison Patriot and the ST. Jo-
seph Gazette. He has a surprising
fund of political information and is
one of the best speakers in the House.
Thompson comes from the district
made famous by James E. Cobb, when
he naively asked the Speaker, Where
am l at?" A bright man among the
twenty-four Charleys is Charles X
Wheeler of Paducah, Ky, who char
acterized Prince Henry as "a little
Dutchman." He was lately a cani-
date for United States senator from
Kentucky, but knuckled under to
James B. McCreary, who received the
required number of votes in caucus
Wheeler is deservedly popular and is
known by his associates as Charley
Wheeler. Other Charleys, who have
apparently outgrown the designation
since boyhood, are Charles N. Fowler
OF Elizabeth, N. j., Charles L. Knapp
of Lowville, N Y, and Charles w
Gillet of Addison, in the same state
The great orator from Maine, Charles
h. Littlef1eld, has not yet reached the
proper state of vegetation to be violent
Charley. Occasionally Baltimore
man ranging the marble corridors of
the Capitol alludes to Charles r.
Schirm as Charley Schirm, but no one
has as yet presumed to apply the sur
name to Charles Q. TirreIl of Nattick.
Mass, nor to Charles H. Burke of
Pierre, S. d.
Jack is evidently not so popular a
surname as Charley. There are thirtv-
three Jacks in the House, but it is
doubtful whether any one of the thirty
three has ever been accosted as Jack
since the schoolmaster fourished the
hickory CAD above them. 1t would
hardly appear to be in place to address
distinguished statesmen as JACK Dali
zell of Pittsburg, Jack Rixey of Bran
dy, Jack Moon of Chattanooga, Jack
jenkins of Chippewa Falls, Jack Gaines
of Nashville. Jack Bankhead of Fay
cite, Jack Bell of Montrose Jack Mad
dox of Rome, Jack Hull of Des Moines,
Jack Ketchum of Dover Pains, Jack
Corliss of Detroit and Jack Williams
of Yazoo, but it would seem eminent
ly proper to speak of John S. Robinson
of Madison Neb., as Jack Robinson,
despite the fact that he has been a
Judge. And recalling Gen. Ketcham, it
would not appear to be out of place
considering his career to thirty years
in the House, to speak OF him occa-
sionally as "old Jack Ketcham." lie
was gallant officer in the Union army
and ran with fire engine in his early
days; yet he lacks even the patronymlc
Iowa fbraa lacks in
