chair. and, smoking meditatively. gazed
at the mantelpieee. BY that time Mr.
Whitney had become so nervous from
oyerwork. lack of sleep and a troubled
mind that he could do nothing but walk
back and forth. Not word was said
for perhaps five minutes: then Mr..
Whitney stopped in front of Mr.. Crok-
er, and said; Croker. I've got some
thing j want to say to you and 1 don't
know how to begin. Are you going

Yes Mr.. Croker replied. without
taking his eyes from the mantelpiece.

word to his friend to meet him at his

How Whitney Settled the Hill
Croker Cleveland Eeud of 1892

NoLONEL GEORGE HARVEY, the
editor Of Harper's Weekly, in this
weeks number of that pubIica-
ton tells a remarkable story of the
manner in which the late William c.
Whitney harmonized the anti-Cleve-
land Democracy in 1892 and paved the
way for Mr.. Cleveland's second cleo
ticn.
Colonel Harvey writes that the next
morning but one after his return from
Chicago Mr.. Whitney sum@loned TO
his house in Fifty-seventh street a
friend with whom he was accustomed
to discuss his most trying political
problems and stated the situation in
substantially these words:
1T may seem strange, but Il is a fact
that until last evening / did not begin
70 realize how serious a responsibility
had taken upon myself in doing what
I did to bring about the nomination of
Cleveland. 1t is quite possible, al
though / do not think so, that an
other candidate. il nominated with
practical unanimity, might have proven
successful at the polls. Consequently
my responsibility is not only 10 Mr..
Cleveland. whom / have urged SO
strongly 10 make the trial. but to the
Democratic party itself. with which 1
have always been identified. and from
which 1 have received many honors.
Faced Hard Problem.
i. have been so busy ever since I
returned from Europe in trying 10 ac-
tomplish the nomination that, TO tell
the truth, [ had overlooked the grave
problems bearing upon the election Of
the nominee. When 1 sat down last
,eS ening and candidly reviewed the
situation l must say that 1 was ap-
p8lled. 1t is useless to deny to our
selves that practically all OF the old
time Democratic leaders, the men who
would naturally be looked to as the
guiding and most efficient helpers in
the campaign. are bitterly opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland. Not that they will fail
10 vote the ticket, but their support at
the present moment certainly promises
10 be lackadaisical and tinctured with
feelings Of personal hostility.
The first and most serious problem

IN DISEASES OF MEN.

Fifteen years ago Drs. Shores E.
Shores established a special depart
ment, exclusively for men suffering
from private diseases, This depart
ment offers many advantages. First
of all we say to those in need or
treatment that we effect a complete
and permanent cure in every case
undertaken. SO confident are we
that our treatment cures that we
are willing to wait for our fee until
a cure is effected. We have the fin
est equipped laboratory IN the west,
where medicine of known strength
is furnished to patients, thereby
doing away with the humiliation of
taking a prescription TO the drug
gists, when everybody who sees the
prescription knows what diseases
such medicines are pres, fibed for.
All diseases treated. This is =
great advantage to those suffering
from private diseases. as it does not
compromise your reputation to be
seen coming or going TO Drs.
Shores Office, as IL is generally
known that they have the largest
and most respectable practice OF
any physicians in Salt Lake City.
We claim to be thoroughly eompe-
tent and reliable. We offer abso-
lutte protection as to privacy. We
furnish pure medicines. We make
quick and permanent cures. And
we are the only physicians doing
business in the west who take the
stand that a doctor is not entitled
TO his fee until his patient is cured.
Remember. the examination is
free at the office or by mail, and if
you conclude to take treatment for
any private disease we are willing
to wait for our fee until you are
cured.
