THREW UP HIS HAT.
The story of Gockreii's Election 10

The story of Cockreirs Election 10
the United states senate.
The truthful story is told in Missouri
that the throwing of broad hrimmel
hat To the ceiling of the hall of the
house of representatives In the capitol
at jefferson City made Francis Marion
Cockrell n member of the United States
senate The state had been stirred by
contest for the Democratic nominal
ton for the governorship The lines
between supporters of opposing candt
dates We're sharply drawn. In state
convention numbering thousand dele
gates Charles IL. Hardin had won by
the narrow majority of one-half of one
vote. So close was the result and so
bitter the feeling that the Democratic
leaders feared irreconcilable division in
the party ranks. The result, however,
had scarcely been announced from the
secretary's desk when the tall figure OF
the defeated candidate. General Cock
rell, WAS seen coming to the platform
A moment more, as the hush OF expec-
fancy fell upon the crowded hall, Cock
Eeli y Ntit lstuE but. NJ man, stAu
he, will more Loyalty support the nom
inee of the convention than myself No
man will throw his hat higher for
Charley Hardin than will L." And
away to the ceiling went the broad
brimmed Cockrell hat. The conven-
ton, frantic with enthusiasm. heard
not another word. But the following
spring General Cockrell became United
States senator by the unanimous vote
OF the Democrats OF Missouri. For
five successive terms after March 1,
1873. with never a Democratic vote
against him. he was elected To the sena-
torship. the first political office he ever
held Ne senator from his state sur
