The man about whom Mr.. Watson
writes most glowingiy is Robert
Toombs. His pictures OF the great
aoitator and orator are vivid and fine.
He writes more alphabetically OF
Toombs than of any one else. The
sketch of the political barbecue at
Bethany, of the speeches by Toombs
and Stevens, and of the inevitable
fights afterwards are true to the life
of ante bellum days.
One of the best pictures is that OF
the secession convention at Milledge-
Vile in January, 1861. The speeches
of Ben Hill and Governor Johnson are
given. But the plea for the union
made by Herschel V. Johnson over
topped them all. This, by the way is
the best chapter in the book, and part
of it was gotten from eye Witnesses OF
the event.
This story is told of the plain, sim
pie, middle class people, who owned
slaves, were strong Baptists, believed
in secession because New England had
taught Shem to believe 10 it, and treat

the LlFE-STORY OF IOHN A. Johnson
WON HIM THOUSANDS OF VOTES.
When the People of Minnesota Heard 1t
They Decided Ne Was the Man
They Wanted TO Vote for.

A st. Paul dispatch says the re-
markable victory of John A. johnson,
democratic candidate for governor OF
Minnesota, in an election In which
every other candidate on his ticket
was buried out OF sight by the republi-
cans, has attracted attention all over
the country, and Minnesota republi-
cans have been ,deluged with inquiries
as to how it happened and what it
means
Various things contributed to Mr..
Johnson's success in a state solidly
republican, but one of the most i'm
portant was the reaction in his favor
following an attempt To discredit him
because his father had been In poor
house and his mother had taken in
washing. The story was scattered
broadcast over the state ia circular
ten days before election the and was
promptly taken up and investigated by
the press.
1t was found that Mr.. JOhnsons
father lad indeed been in poorhouse,
but he had been put there by friends
of the family for the Iatter's sake. Mr..
Johnson's mother was obliged to take
in washing to keep her family from
starving, and her son, then ten years
OLD, had left school to go to work to
help support his mother.
The elder Johnson was a Swedish
immigrant and the family was in alb
tecb poverty, while the father proved
worthless and did nothing to support
his wife and children. When fourteen
years old young johnson was the sole
support of his mother, who had grown
feeble. So we'll did he do his work that
by the time he was twenty he had
reached position of trust in his home
town, ST. Peter, and was enjoying a
fair income.
When these facts became known in
Minnesota the reaction in favor of the
man who had so bravely discharge
his duty as poor boy and had fairly
won his way to high standing among
his fellow townsmen spread through
| the whole state, aud the fate OF his re-
publican opponent was settled. The
people wanted to vote for a man ofthat
caliber for their governor, and they
did so. The vote shows that more
than 20 per cent of the republicans of
the state WAC voted for Roosevelt for
president scratched their state ticket
in favor of Johnson.

FINDS WHERE NOAH LIVED.
K. v. Willard, Discovers, Too, Where
Ark Was Built, and That the
Patriarch Was a Millionaire.

K. V. Willard, who resides in In
dianapolis, Ind, has been for several
years studying the archaeology OF
Egypt. For the last year, until his
recent return to this country. he was
engaged in making excavations at va
rious places on the Nile, especially at
Gizeh, in the neighborhOod of the
great pyramid of Cheops.

three years." .said Mr.. Willard, "just
where Noah lived, where the ark was
built. and that Noah built the great
pyramid of Khufu, known as the pyr-
amid of Gizeh.
"Noah was the greatest king this
world has ever seen. He was the
greatest of the Egyptian Pharoahs,
not excepting Rameses the Great.
"Noah was a millionaire. The
biblical account of the food gives no
clue as to where be lived or where bis
snip carpenters were at work for one
hundred and twenty years constructing
the ark Noah was six hundred years
old when the food came. IT is evident
that he must have been a millionaire
and man of great authority. He built
the ark at his own expense. Such q
boat in those times would cost more
than half q million dollars. He must
have been in a position to force vast
multitudes to work for him, regardless
of their interest in him or In his work,
or of their own personal iuclinatlons. I"

The Macon Evening News points out
the difference between the work of
Hon. James Nj. Griggs as chairman OF
the congressional democratic campaign
committee two years ago and the work
of Chairman Cowherd in the same po-
sitiou this year, with the help that W..
r. Hearst gave to Griggs showing up
incidentally. The Macon News saws:
1t is very evident that Chairman
Cowherd OF the democratic national
congressional committee had no Will
liam r. Hearst to furnish the sinews
of war as ex.Chairman Griggs bad in
1902. when the Georgia congressman
kept the republican majority in the
house of representatives down to
minimum. And largely because of the
great financial assistance which Hearst
gave to Chairman Griggs in 1902 was
the reason why Griggs actively es-
poused the candidacy of Hearst for
president in the contest this year.
As we understand the case, had it not
been for the very timely help of Hearst
Chairman Griggs would have neen
forced to have closed the democratic
campaign headquarters at Washing
ton ia 1902 aud suspend business.
A Washington correspondent says
he was in the parlors of the national
congressional committee of the demo-
cratic party in the Riggs House when
the wires first began TO buzz Tuesday
night. Chairman Cowherd held the

had discovered that Missouri ought to
give 10000 aiority for Parker. Even
before the returns began to come IN he
was feeling very sore because the par
ty had not backed up his committee
and when dispatch said that Penn
sylvania would send to congress one
democrat and thirty-one republicans
he came as near profanity az he ever
does and told the hundreds of friends
assembled around him that his com.
mittee had not received q single dollar
from the national committee during
the campaign, and that the members
had taken $500 out of their own pock-
cts to pay for the printing they had
been able to get. The declaration
caused grave faces, sharp comment
and many expressions OF sympathy, es-
pecially when it Was announced that
Cowherd had been overthrow in his
own district because he was compelled
to be present IN Washington. He Is

WEAKER THAN HIS PARTY,
A Fact That the Election Figures
ConCIusiVeIy Prove.


A cursory glance at the returns
from the late election will suffice to
show that Judge Parker was much
weaker than the party that choose him
for it's leader, and that the great gains
that was promised by those who con-
tended for the surrender of the party
to those who either cut loose from it
entirely or sulked through the two
last previous presidential campaigns
failed to materialize.
The election of democratic govern
ors in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Col
orado and Missouri, states which had
Roosevelt landslide pluralities OF 1885,
600, Sc 600, 5000 and 25,500, respect
lively, certainly indicate that Parker
was weaker than his party.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Rhode Island lost by less than
1000 votes, but Roosevelt carried the
state by $4,000.
Roosevelt's plurality in West Vir-
ginia was nearly 10000, but the demo-
cratic candidate for governor was de-
feated by only 5000.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Minnesota pulled through
with majority of nearly $4,000, but
Roosevelt's plurality was $4,000.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor OF New York ran about $4,000
ahead OF Parker, and in Wisconsin the
democratic candidate for governor
gave LaFollette q wrestle for his
money, but Roosevelt ran away with
the state to the tune of more than TO-
600.
In the light of these democratic
gubernaturial victories it seems that
PARKER WAS weaker than bis party.

James Creelman in New York World.
The extraordinary character of the
defeat of the democratic ticket on
Tuesday may be partly understood
when it is known that the democratic
national committee raised almost as
large fund this year as Chairman
Harrity's committee had in 1892, when
Mr.. Cleveland was overwhelmingly
the greatest fund ever contributed to
the democratic cause.
I ascertained yesterday IRON one Of
the highest authorities that the demo-
cratic national committee this year
had more than 81, 500, 900 in its hands.
This sum does not include $3.50, 600
contributed by Henry &. Davis to the
campaign fund OF West Virginia, nor
does it include several other sums Civ
en- for particular use.
AS against this the democratic ma
tional committee which managed Mr..
Cleveland's successful campaing in
1892 had fund of $500, 600, of which
it actually spent about 81, 10000.
In 1896, when Mr.. Bryan polle0
within 603,854 as many votes as Mr..
Mckinley in total vote of 1926, 800,
the democratic national committee had
less than $500, 600, while the republican
national committee had and spent
100000.
The democratic managers this year
furnished the following sums to the
doubtful states, which were in addition
to the moneys raised by the local and
state committees:

The Connecticut state committee re-

Men who claim to know the facts
say that the democratic state commit

money at its disposal this year as the
committee which carried the state for
Mr.. Cleveland in 1892. The state COM
