German Elects Cleveland.

<OA AA&oAA A1ASSko ~4SNS4olA2s
Barnum's chief lieutenant in 1854 was
Senator Arthur P. German. Of Maryland.
and IL is not too much to say that the
latter had more to do with the election
of Cleveland than any other man. To-
ward tho close Of the campaign things
began to look blue for the Democrats, and
it was clearly shown that unless they
could capture New York the fight would
be lost. Chairman Barnum, then adj
vanced in years, was hardly equal to the
situation German came 10 the rescue,
and one day slipped quietly into New
York, lie had not been there many days
before his sagaclty was recognized, and
whllC Mr.. Barnum appeared 10 be d.
rcctinG tho course of the battle, It was
In reality the Senator from Maryland who

manner In which he guided the ship wa s
demonstrated by the election OF Cleve-
land.
The rela atoms between German and
Cleveland however, soon ceased to be in
innate or cordial, and thereby hangs m
interesting tale OF why, In 1858, tho latter
failed of reelection, Some time between
the fifteenth and twentieth OF October
III that year German was Informed that
Cleveland wished to see him. He went
at once to the White House and was
ushered into tho presence OF the Presi-
dent.

in the desire 10 avoid all chances OF col

the stone beacon on the further side. The
slow speed at which the boat was going
at the time prevented any great force of
