OF thing. to which politicians give vent
when they see the finish of their hopes.
The natural conclusion is that Herrick will
be made the nominee for Governor, and, of
course, he will be elected.
Colonel nerrick. who was one of the clos
est friends of President Mckinley. is being
touted as a very strong man. one who not
only would make an excellent Governor. but
who would make the right sort of a Presi-
dent. 1t is believed that he is the kind Of
man who would appeal to Republicans.
The possibility that such a contest may
come is prominent In the minds OF a lot
of Republican politicians n Republican
business men. They acknowledge that this
possibility Is much more remote now than
1t was some time since, but among them
selves they talk OF Roosevelt making mis-
takes which may still render his nominal
ton impossible. This element had undoubt-
eddy determined to push Thomas b. Reed
to the front should the opportunity present.
II Herrick is elected Governor of Ohio he
will be available should such a contest
Colonel Herrick il a member of the
Republican National Committee and is a
very prominent business man In Cleveland.
He is president of a very large savings
bank. and although he has held no office
he has for a long time been active in Re-
publican party affairs. Senator Hanna's
intimates here. say that he unquestionably
prefers Herrick to Dick for the governor
ship. and some of them believe that he is
looking further to the future than the
Executive Mansion at Columbus.

was the inspiration of the ''Beecher-Tiiton
Jig" to the strains OF which nimble feet
were wont to patter at country dances. At
one time the young conductors finances
were so low that he was constrained to con-
jure his muse to the composition of the
"Five-Cent Two-Step." One of his early

When he had achieved success and began
to long for broader fields Of action he cele-
brated the approach OF the close of his Sec

Ing galop. which he entitled six Months

Fortune came to him within 100 feet of

He started as a violin player at the old

forty years in quest of fortune he returned

made $4,000 in the corn pit Of the ex-

to buy food and no personal property except
his violin, he asked Harry Saxton. a of
