SCENE OF FIRST TRIUMPH.
Chicago Succeeded in Having Negro
Elected Conventions Chairman.

A strange coincidence is called 20
mind in connection with the meeting
Of the convention in Chicago to nomi-
nate President Roosevelt. It was IN that
city exactly twenty years ago this
month. that Roosevelt first played n
part in national politics
IL was then that the convention met
which decided the struggle between
Chester A. Arthur and James G. Blaine
20 compass the Presidential nomination
Of their party. Arthur. like Roosevelt,
had stepped from the Vice Presidency 10
the White House as a sequel Of assassi-
nation, and at the time Of his aces
sion represented the staiwart or Conk-
ling faction OF the party, as distinguish
ed from the half-breed or Blaine fac
ton. Arthur had employed all the po-
ntcaI resources OF the Administration
70 become the Republican candidate for
d full term. He had considerably grown
In public confidence and respect during
the Intervening years. although he had
alienated the friendship OF Conkling and
some other extreme Stalwarts by his re-
fusal 20 follow unshrinkingly the policy
which they favored HIS support came
therefore not only from the dependents
OF the Administration. but in some de-
gree from conservative business men
who had begun to regard him as safe, -
and who were distrustful in particular
OF Blaine.
There were many attempts on the
part OF the reform element in some col
leges. pulpits. and newspaper offices 10
break the force OF Blaine's popularity
by threatening 10 bolt in the event Of
hts nomination. and thus convincing the
party managers that IL would be peril
Gus 10 the party 10 put him at its
head.
Conspicuous among these critics and
remonstrants was Theodore Roosevelt.
He was then twenty-five years Of age.
and had leaped suddenly into promi-
pence By reason Of his aggressive course
in the Legislature OF New York against
the Conkiing organization. IL had be-
come the habit to couple his name with
that Of Henry Cabot Lodge. Of Massa-
chusefts. as an example OF the benen-
cenca there might be in encouraging the
type Of public man then known as the
Echoiar in Politics.
Roosevelt got up and made q speech

FOUGHT NIT SIGEL."
Delegates Glad to Greet a Distin-
guished Veteran.

General Osterhaus, a corps commander
under General Sherman in the ci-ril
war. was one OF the distinguished spec
tatOrs present.
Senator Foraker, IN introducing him,
told that he fought init Sige:" and
added: "Once General Sherman detailed
Osterhaus TO attack the enemy and dis
lodge them.
'Sheneral,' said Osterhaus, II ani

General Osterhaus was born in Prussia
in 1872. living there until he came to
this country when twenty eight years
old. His sword was at the disposal OF
his adopted country as soon as HOSTILE
ties began. and on April q, 1851. he was
commissioned major OF the ST. Louis
Volunteers. known as the Second Mis-
souri,. In December Of that year he be-
came colonel of the Twelfth Missouri,
and six months later he was appointed
by President Lincoln a brigc der SEN
eral. in the battle OF Pea Ridge he COM
manded the First Division Of the Army
of the Southwest. He also figured in
the Vfcksburg, Chattanooga and At
lanta campaigns, and was made MAJ or

sissippi department

no man who likes applause more than
Chauncey. and no man who shows that

LIKE A QUAKER METRIC
So the Big Convention Seemed to a
Governor.

i was the first Presidential nominate
ing convention for Gov Samuel w
Pennypacker Of Pennsylvania although
a Republican all his life and a Judge
prior TO his election as chief executive
Of the keystone State.
The governor don't like newspaper
cartoons, and for that reason he had a
Jaw enacted in Pennsylvania preventing
their publication. and compelling every
newspaper to publish a list OF all per-
sons employed on the paper who were
responsible for its appearance
After the bill became a law the news
papers began 10 comply with its proyis-
ions Many of them published the name
of every person employed. from editor
tn-chief 10 printers devil Others ig-
nored 1t completely. and their cartoons
every day were devoted TO ridicule OF
thu Pennsylvania governor. He has
never vet brought a suit against one OF
them for libel.
When asked his opinion OF tho con-
vention the governor remarked with a
peculiar Quaker accent: rs there a
convention? First one I've ever at
tended Reminds me a good deal OF
one of those old-tirIe Quaker meet
ings.'

uncomfortable part of it. saying he had
slept soundly in the tonneau. but he did
object TO the fact that the automobile
company charged him s. an hour all the
time ne was asleep. He says he could
have had a comfortable bed in one of
the best hotels for the same money.

FORAKER'S BLUFF WAY.
Scares Interviewers, But Thanks His
Close Political Friends.

Senator Foraker has frightened q
great many interyiwers. and caused
them 10 shun him on account Of his Sc
we're manner 10 those he does not know.
In fact, the Senator was strongly play
ed" at the convention, for that reason,
though he is working on an attempt "a
disrupt the old Hanna machine, now
operated by Governor Herrick and Sena-
tor Dick. While Il was current gos-
sip that Foraker had won over Dick
there was little attempt TO get anything
from Foraker on II, and In that connec-
ton an old friend Of the Senator told a
story tending 20 prove that his be-
havior bellies his feelings
One night when the Senator was
on a lecture tour Of the State. IN
a campaign, this man said. he ar
rived at a small town about

a large crowd at the station. State Sen
ator Burke had congregated them there

in favor OF electing a negro for chair
man OF the convention. His argument
was that nobody had a right to say that
because the national committee had or
dered any certain thing to be done. the
convention dare not proceed to undo II,
and elect the negro, Lynch. The latter
was chosen.
The participation OF the immature
Roosevelt in Lynchs elevation TO the
post now suggests continuity and con-
sistency in his friendly opinions OF the
negro However. It shows a contrast
between the views which he then held,
as an humble delegate. on the duty pre-
venting the national committee from
laying out even a preliminary program
for a convention. and the views which
he now holds as TO the duty Of obey
ing the national committee in arrang-
ing in advance all the particulars posi-
BILE that can be taken out of the hands
of the delegates.
