Begged to Hide Revelations.

Mr.. Daniels followed Mr. Krotel from
the Town Topics office. imploring him
not to give the newspapers any infor-
nation of what he had discovered. He
would not he satisfied until Mr.. Krotel
had assured him that his informant n
was for the Distr!ct-Attogney's office

violent answer declining TO be inter-

Edward L~auterbach, recognizing the
futility of further combating the Dis

the ledgers, account books and sub

him. Gov. Odell would have carried out
his bargain but for something else.
Between the morning and the after
noon of that Thursday he was changed
from a Black man to a Depew man.
Who did the changing? There was
every reason for Odell to set his
strong jaw and stick. Platt had come
from Washington, injudiciously, to
fight for Depew; it was a rare chance
for Odell to administer a death blow.
Why not?
State Senator Bracket, of Saratoga,
says hat he was a party to the origi-
nal bargain in Blacks behalf; that
the Depew delegates were not numer-
Gus enough to elect; that the one in
iuence paramount with Odell was Ed
ward Hartman, the railroad presi-
dent. This is decidedly interesting, if
true. And Bracket, though he is the
political protector of the Saratoga
gamblers, is not a man WHO lies.
Moreover, he was n Of the three
revolving senators who, in the legis-
lature two years ago, stood out against
Odell's rule. Such a bargain as he
has described would explain why he
was good" last winter and offered no
| objection to Odell's policies.
Unkindest cut Of all, Gov. Higgins,
who ran so far behind his ticket be-
u known as "Odell's man." has
made appointments of his own men.
| Particularly notable is his naming OF
a business man of clean, unknown in
politics. as superintendent of public
works, to have management of the
great $1O1, 900, 900 deepening Of the
Erie canal. Higgins himself is a bust
ness man; those who know him vel
say he will be his own master and a
good governor.
With Higgins showing .independ-
ence; with Plat chuckling about his
| Depew victory" with which he had
as much to do as the fly on the wheel;
with Bracket and other leaders in re-
volt; with Black bitterly his enemy
and a grave doubt how far mis- inhu
ence may run in canal matters, Chair
man Odell is puzzled.
Why should a great railroad presi'
dent mix up in New York politics
With a Observation-Disclosures cana

BILE reasons, say the Brackets.

bling that of the late Senator Ingalls,.
He is too strong to be lost sight OF in
the national field. He had the misfor-
tune to be governor during the Span
ish war, which remorselessly exposed
the weakness of the militia system In
the state. He had the cynic bad 1udg-
ment to appoint as insurance commi~-
sioner the notorious lobbyist, Lou
Payn. Nevertheless, there are worse
men.
Odell is a strengthened, heavily
built man, whose cheeks hang In
pouches and whose eyes look tired. he
seems one who has misused his iron
strength SO long as to be now less
than strong. He takes no exercise; ne
is a nan of lamplight and the council
chamber. In congress he was known
as Platt's deputy boss" AS governor
he made a splendid record In his nrst
term, but fell below it in his second.
His grip of steel upon the party Will
some day be broken as suddenly as ne
broke that of Plat. | do not pretend
to say when. That day may be far; II
may be near In the latter case there
will be few to mourn. Odell does not
inspire the friendship of politicians as
does Plat, nor the affection OF the
people as does Depew. He is just

stract, impersonal quality. h Is
strength in him, but no magnetism.

his personality was suggestive OF
forcefulness and decision; he was a
man of much elegance and dignity. AS
one of the characters in Him says,
in highly colored local phrase: See
Douglas? Didn't l carry Hickory pre-
cinct for him? Douglas came down and
made the biggest speech we ever heerd.
After speakin', he drank whisky out
of a gourd, and chawed tobacco with
the rest Of us, but all the time he was
the dignifedest man you ever saw, never
cracked a smile, told a story, nor nuth-
in. Jes' as solemn as when he was
settin' on the supreme bench. At first
sight he looked like a spring chicken.
He was no more'n five feet four, didn't
come UP to a yearlin' steer; but when
you looked at that head, and heerd that
deep voice, you seen Dan'l Webster an
Henry Clay an Tom Benton all stand
in there in that little cuss."
A New England Yankee, Douglas, be-
cause of his bearing and his advocacy
of state rights, was often taken for a
southerner. He came to Illinois when
20 years of age, without money, without
acquaintance. In IA years he had
| risen, by various stages, to be United
States senator from Illinois. During
this rapid progress he served as states
attorney, member of the legislature.

capitol, secretary of state of Illinois,

member of congress and later senator

paid him this tribute: "As a debater

Webster or Calhoun. No man has ap-
peared in Illinois who could cope with
him. and none ever will"

on zest in life. Most politicians have
other interests. Croker loves horses;
Black loves camping out; Depew goes
abroad every year; Odell is a business
man, fond of a cigar; Hugh McLaugh-
Inns hobby was parks. Hill has moth
ing. Out of politics, he is a lonely old
man, without ever vices. He is a
bachelor, he does not smoke, drink,
play cards. He does not care for golf.
He cannot understand men who do
not remember how many majority Til
den got as governor nor the year Oh
Kelly's bolt against Robinson. His
abstemious life has preserved him in
excellent health.
Hill was one of the best governors
New York has had in years. He has
his Maynard, as Black has his Lou
Payn. But there is a difference. May
nard is dead. Hill was not personally
responsible for Maynard's nomination
as secretary of state. He called it bad
politics. That was his extreme Oh
emphasis.
Hill was responsible fer the snap
convention which he called in the
spring of 1896 to cinch the New York
delegation; he wanted to be president
Weaker men than he have obtained
the goal. If he has had a fault as a
leader. it has been in not approaching
the force of ideals that appeal direct
10 the people. He has relied too much
upon politicians, upon politics as a
game of maneuvering. He has played
it as one plays chess. And, though
beaten in a disastrous campaign that
will cause him to be known in history
as leader of a forlorn hope, he was in
his prime the most successful leader OF
his party in New York since Tllden;
he has done the state service IN pre-
venting Tammany Hall from grasplng
it's supreme power, and his personal
honor goes untainted, much as he had
to do with Albany politicians in a
time when Albany was worse thar
now.

the ice trust king and owner of a
string of state banks. Two year
later Dodge was brought to New Yor
by a firm of lawyers to swear that tn
divorce from him had been fraudulent

this story was investigated. 1t was
disproved, Dodge was indicted for per-
Jury and fled to Texas, accompanied
and guided by a member of the firm
of lawyers that brought him to the
city. In the effort to defeat extradl-
ton they fought his case to the United
States supreme court. They spent $780,

direct in the evident hope that he
would drink himself to death. To fight
these expenditures the district attor-
new has had to draw for an extra $25,-
600 upon the county. Dodge was
brought north by armed force in the
persons of four gigantic Texans; and

The story Of his life in Illinois is
one whose strong interest lies in its
commonplace; the humble home, the
daily round Of chores, early hardships
and responsibilities, a troubled youth
with the ordinary perplexity as to the
right pursuit; and when at last the
career was chosen, struggles and fall
nres in making Roadway. 1t is what
is referred to as a dull gray story, and
vet it is a cOlOrleSS tale that has about
it its own charm-for the grOwn-up.
Every schoolboy and girl in the land

Numherless localities in Illinois have
old residents that can tell personal
anecdotes of Lincoln. He worked and
studied at New Salem, was associated
with TIE social and political life OF
Springfield, his circuit and campaign
travels gave him opportunity to make
wide acquaintance. We quote from
Mr.. Clayk's retrospect on the day OF
Lincoln'g inauguration: "Mr. Lincoln,
the prea~dent-elect, seemed i'll at ease

He said very little, but he did con-

the story of the factional divisions
that are shaking the party within two
months of its great victory IN the
state.
More than a year ago the plan was
laid to make Gov. Odell chairman of
the republican state committee and to
choose Frank S.. Black senator to sue
coed Dppew. Until Christmas there
was no doubt that the bargain was to
lie carried out. There were WI reasons
why it could not be. One is a fact;
the other must be accepted upon hear
say and probability.
The first reason is the popularity Of
Depew. His gradual retirement from
railroad management has removed the
only objection against him in the rural
regions, while to city and country
alike he has for years been a SenlaI
friend. Moreover, if Mr.. Depew could
have quit telling funny stories 80
years ago-he might as well keep on
now; it's too late TO change-he might
have been regarded as having qualities
of the statesman. He is educated,
scholarly, intelligent. He has a fine
presence, health and a good voice. He
has a recognizable face. People who
have never seen him recognize him
upon the street by his pictures. he
has e%loquence, known and appreciated
In London almost as in New York.
Less of a politician than Plat, he is
more nearly the type of a senator IN
the ancient meaning of the word.
Though neither is of the Conkling
stamp.
