The political problems of Mcclellan
center upon whether he can satisfy the
boys" without too much dissatisfying
the solid citizens who downed Van Wyck
two years ago. The social side of his
life promises to be interesting. For
when Mcclellan was poor newspaper
reporter he married the pretty daughter
ofJohn G. Hecksher, very great swell
in the 400. 1t may be that Mr.. McClel-
lan's political ambition happened about
that time; the story goes that Richard
Croker himself, hearing the name of
George Mcclellan, saw the young man
and gave orders for his political advance
ment. The possession of beautiful and
tactful wife, skilled in social arts and
personally acquainted with the elite of
New York, has smoothed his pathway
greatly, especially in Washington, where
so much is made Of social distinctions.

Personally, Springer was lovable
man, without even a remote sense OF
humor. Probably it was the latter fall
ing that made him one of Tom Reeds
pet diversions when the great speaker
was the leader of the republicans in the
house.
Two of Reeds most famous shafts
were thrown at Springer. One was in
a debate while Reed was still holding
a secondary rank in the house. Spring.
er, who was rather ponderous speak
er, had made the remark that he would
rather be right than be president. Reed,
standing in the middle aisle, drawled
back: THE gentleman need not be
alarmed. He will never be either"
The other was a conversational uuip:
springer never opens his mouth that
he doesn't subtract from the sum of
human knowledge"
1t Is not to be wondered at that there
should not have been any great SYM
pathy between two men of such widely
opposed temperaments. It was large
ly matter of taste with each of them,
and concerning taste there is no use in
arguing.
