R0OSEVELT'S LUCK.

According to a telegram from Wash ington of recent date there are schem- CTS there whose purpose it has been to attempt the defeat of President Roosevelt for the presidential nomin- ation and their dodge to secure that end has been to secure uninstructed delegates to the national republican convention. The telegram in question says:
 To say that the personal and politi cal followers of Senator Hanna are panic stricken since they became aware that his illness is of most dan gerous character, and that if be recov- CTS it will be months before he can at tend to business would be mild way of expressing it. They do not know which way to turn, or, politically speaking, what to do. Hanna's pow erful and active individuality has for so long dominated them that they have no second choice, no substitute leader.
 It is regarded as certain that the Senator will not be able to take an active pat in the next presidential campaign, and the plans of anti Roosevelt republicans are completely upset. It is understood here in polit- icai circles that the interests opposed to the president had succeeded in in- ducing the men who control republi- can politics in several of the big states to agree to send a number of un- instucted delegates from their respect i've bailiwicks. These uninstructed delegates were to be used for trading purposes.
 The anti-Roosevelt combined pur- posed. it is declared, to come out fiat footed against Roosevelt on or about the first of May, and openly declare their allegiance to Hanna, on the ground that the president could not carry New York state, and that the re- publican campaign committee would find 1t impossible, with Roosevelt at the head of the ticket, to raise suffi- cient money to conduct a successful campaign. The antis now concede that their game is up, unless they can dis cover and unite on another Moses to take Hanna's place, and they &C., knowledge that such an one is not in sight.
 ''It is another case of Roosevelt's s luck" they say, ''Iuck that no amount of scheming or planning seems able to break"

ton, l am selected to represent their views, to obey their wishes, and to voice their choice in the nomination of President Roosevelt. 1 propose to and will do this honestly, Loyalty and faithfully. 1 propose also to go in person and represent your wishes and not to deliver my proxy to any mes senger to cast for me.
 l have always believed, believe to- day, and shall always believe, that an uninstructed delegation a much stronger one for territory than an instructed one, and a much more hon orable one for the president himself, seeking the presidency a second time. The president certainly would prefer to be nominated by republicans of his party, rather than by those hold ing the offices under him. You will remember that at the Minneapolis convention when President Harrison asked for a renomination and who was after wards defeated, that the conven- tlon was packed with office holders many delegations being instructed even to the one from this territory. In every probability President Roose- velt's name will be the onH one pre- sented at the republican convention. He will have no opposition, but will be nominated by exclamation. Hence, what good can an instructed delega- tion be to him? It will be a much greater compliment to the president to send six Roosevelt men to the con vention unpledged.
 repeat again, that I may not bt misunderstood, that # l am chosen tC represent the republicans of the ter ritoIy in national convention, an going to Chicago to vote for the nom ination of President Roosevelt. vii do my duty honestly, faithfully anC consistently.
 i My actions in the past as a consist ent member of the party 1 offer you as my pledge for the future.
 Very respectfully,

Woman Was Desperate.

Her eyes were wild, her hair was in disorder, her face was flushed, her hands were cleuched. She was a deeply injured and desperate woman. ''Oh, cruel oner' she said, in an- guished tones, ''I have borne with you too long! You have injured the very foundations of my being. Day by day you have tortured me, and yet | could not bear to give you up. When first we met, how your ease and polish attracted me When you be- came my own, how my friends envied mel But your understanding is too small for my large soul! You are op- posed to my advancing myself. You have ruined my standing in society. If we had never met, l might have walked in peace. So now begone We part fOEever!'
 There was a moments couvulsive breathing, a gritting of teeth and a sharp sigh. It was all over. By a su- preme effort she had pulled off her new shoe. Pittsburg Dispatch.

One of the conferees was a democrat who halls from a town in Ohio known as Pork opolis, and whose only interest in the presidential campaign is to assist the republicans in nominating a man any democrat can defeat. At this confer ence were men who have announced publicly that they were for Roosevelt, but who failed to fool the people.
