We're of no avail.

Where he was once n child.
They shall NIL bloom in fields Of light,
Trnnsplnntcd by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear
And the mother grave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;

Republican Movement to Name Charles
Anderson, Colored Leader, for
Congress.

The Republicans have not selected
against Bourke Cochran in the Twelfth
District. They will hold their conven-
ton Thursday evening, and the. pri-
maries to elect delegates this evening
The Twelfth Congress District,
which includes the gas house and
slaughter house districts, is a Demo-
cratic stronghold major
ity there year ago was more than
14,000-and consequently no Republi-
cans are seeking the nomination.
Among those who may be asked to take
the nomiation are ex-A1derman Whit
aker, Charles K. Lexow, and Charles
Schongood, who ran against Mcclellan
in 1902.
Some of the politicians atthe Fifth
Avenue hotel to-day suggested that
Charles Anderson, the leader of the col
ored Republicans, should be nominated
against Cochran. Anderson is a mem
ber of the Republican State Committee,
and is State Commissioner for the col
iOCI1oh VI IAo 1dClHS IdA. OHe OlLneSe
politicians said:
eff Charlie Anderson should be nomi-
mated and put onthe trail of Cochran
we should have one ofthe 1iveliest cam
paigns this city has ever seen. Ander-
son is one of the cleverest and most elo-
quent public speakers in the Republi-
can organization of this city, and he
could be relied on to fire some red hot
shot at Cochran in most effective style.

Anderson, the "Colored Demosthenes,"
who now holds the place of commits
sione1 for tie collection of the State
racing tax. Anderson is the idol Of the
cclored population of the district, and
he is, besides polished orator, and a
man of marked ability. Those who sug-
gested, his name said that, with Cock
ran in the field, the campaign would
be along Demosthenic lines, and that
Anderson could do the 'Demosthenes
act'' better than any other man, white
or colored, in the district.
Some of the State headquarters poll
ticians said that if Anderson accepts
the nomination they viii try to ar
range a joint debate between him and
Cochran. Such a debate would be of
peculiar interest The styles of ora
tory of the two men differ. Cochran is
a satirist, Anderson is humorist.
Cochran seldom INDUCES in stories to
illustrate a point His cOlored rival in
eICQuence is one Of the best story tell
ers in politics. Cochran is rather
clumsy in figure and awkward in ges-
ture. Anderson is a type of elegance
in person and a model Of grace. There
is no doubt that if a joint debate were
arranged between them, the contest
would attract great crowds that it
would be necessary to hire Madison
