Mr.. Sheehan was not at all discour-

governor of the Empire State in 1902
He Immediately entered upon a new

the leaders in the party. He succeeded
in enlisting the sympathy and cooper

Democrats in his own state and then

from caricaturing them. The monkish

resist the temptation to evolve an incl

English caricaturist was Hosarth, who
made himself famous by satirizine So

Mr.. Sheehan entered upon his work of

months before other Democratic presi-
dent makers had begun to think of
suitable presidential timber Ever
since Judge Parker had been elected
chief Judge of the New York state court
of appeals without any we'll organized
opposition Mr.. Sheehan had selected
him for president. In 1892 he was de-
termined that his friend should become
q candidate for governor. Failing to
accomplish that. he bided his time His
faith in Judge Parker's star never
waned. 1t is a matter of common re-
port among his friends that Blue Eyed
Billy could never be induced to look
into the merits of any other claimant
for presidential honors. He could
sometimes be persuaded to take a tenn
Ss1rary interest in some local political
undertaking, but as soon as he discov-
cred that it was not likely in any way
to promote his own great purpose of
making Alton b. Parker the Democra-

drop it forthwith.

A surgical operation is no longer neces-
