How Chicago Got the Fair
rT7HEN he told them how Chicago secured the
Il Columbian Exposition when New York, Phlla-
de1nhia Washington and St. Louis were all con-
testants with the breezy city of the lakes tor
the location by Congress. Chicago was not IN the
lead The votes of the Southern members were
necessary and they divided between Washing
ton and ST. Louis. The Chicago men concluded to
capture the Southern Democratic members OF Con-
qress and they called the telegraph into service
They wired to the Chicago committee to hunt up
every man from the South then resident OF the
Northwest metropolis and have him WIRE to ac-
uaintanCeS the South to WIRE Their Representative
They also inspired every business house IN Chicago
to wire Southern customers to the same purpose
The result was that the wires were sWamped with
messages urging Southern members to vote tor
Chicago and the electric shock these Representa-
tives received was sudden and so sharp that Chi
cago won the fair and the who gave Their votes
TO that end discovered little later that the demand
to which they had surrendered came from Chicago
and not from home
The Chicago committee paid the tolls and laughed

to the House, and they were on the foor N
time to answer to their names when the roll
called.
The personal side of these contests on the floor
the House IS most interesting and entertain.
The closest companionships and warmest frieui-
ships are formed between men who wage battle
against each other ike gladiatOrs of old For IN
stance, the Speaker IN the chair has no greater
admirer or more loyal friend the floor than the
minority leader, who almost daily denOunces hi-Q s
an autocrat and Cesar. The personal friendship
between these two men IS typical of what runs
through the House.
Compromise Is the Leavener
THE man in the Speakers chair looks on thcc con-
tests here with philOsophic mind for It IS orle
the epitome of the contending forces of civilza-i
which in the main must bring the resultant of COM
promise the basis of the greatest good TO the
greatest number The conflicts and cOmpromses
are more emphasized in the legislation which pro-
poses to distribute public money for public works
In the last session of the Fiftyeighth Congr there
were introduced bills for river and haTbOr improve
ments which called for appropriations aggreeatlng
than three hundred million dollars, and after
much investigation and many compromises these
were combined in an omnibus bill authorizing and
appropriating thIrty-four million dollars, little
more than ten per cent of the money deu~nded
BY the advocates of the various projects. There
were also more than four hundred bills for public
buildings, calling for appropriations amounting
to seventv-fve million dollars; but no bin was
passed.
The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
prepared an omnibus bill carrying about sixteen
million dollars for public buildings, and three
fOurthS of the members signed petition to the

SUNDAY MAGAZINE FOR MAY IS. 1900

The man in the Speakers chair being not only the
moderator but the leader of the majority, IS more
dependent on the whip of his party for results than
he is on the chief characters IN the play on the floor
The whips keep in close touch with the pair clerks
and watch the tally to know who has voted and why
those who have not have been silent, where they
are and how to bring them into the game. They
send doorkeepers and pages in search OF denquenS,
get them to the floor and insist that their votes
shall be recorded.
When the Statehood bill came to a vote, on its
original passage by the House, with insurgents
from the Republican ranks giving aid and comfort
to the minority the whips of the two parties were
the most important marshals on the floor. They
watched each other as well as their own men, and
thev PLAYED the game of pairs with the skill and
Coolness of expert chess players. Each sought to
secure live pairs for the absenteeS of his own
party, and to grant only dead pairs to his
opponent.
Whipping in Absentees
ON the night before the vote was to be taken the
W Democrats offered pairs for five absent Repub-
1icans because they had FIVE Democrats who could not
be brought to the Capitol in time to vote Mr.. Wat
son. the Republican whip refused the offer though he
had more than five absentees. He believed he
could get most of them here in time and he refused
to show his hand to his opponent. He did not sleep
that night, but was beside the telegraph key most
of the time in communication with the men he
wanted on the morrow, or trying to locate them.
He sent scores of meSSageS-nOre than twenty-five
irving to locate in New NOrk-and by
morning he knew that he had four men on the trains
bound for Washington; but three of them would
not arrive until after two o'clock If the special
rule for the bill came to vote before that hour ne

and not from home.
The Chicago committee paid the
at the St Louis and Washington
people, who had been asleep while
the whole scheme was perfected IN
a Washington hotel.
The Statehood campaign by WIRE
was not new. The older members
of the House who had gone through
the contest with the location of the
Columbian Exposition and similar
campaigns since were not affected
bv it. They knew the game.
Bismarck condemned elOquence
as a crime, because it appealed to
the senses rather than to the Judg-
ment of men, and inspired those
of less wit to foolish, and some
times to criminal, actions. There
are men of eloquence in the House,
and there have been occasions when
the lawmakers have been led to
the verge of foolish action, only
to be stopped by the application
of the old adage that the hair of
the dog will cure the bite. As
rule however, the eloquence on the
floor is more entertaining than
influential in shaping legislative
action Bourke Cochran, Charles
A. Towne, Robert Cousins, Champ
Clark, lanes E. Watson, Henry S.
Boutell, Edward l.. Hamilton, John
Sharp Williams, and Charles b.
Lands are among the most elo-
quent speakers on the floor, and
anyone of them can rouse the
House to enthusiasm; but it IS
doubtful if any of them ever
changed a vote by the most effect
i've speech.
Cochran can arouse the minority
to high pitch of enthusiasm by
his Irish eloquence, and make it
howl as though marching to VIC
tory; Williams can cheer his fol-
lowers by his sarcasm at the eX-
pense of the majority; Towne and
Cousins can make men forget for
the moment all but the magic of
their oratory; Boutell can stir the
blood, and so can Watson; Ham
ilton and Lands can entertain with
their epigrams, and Adam Bede
with his humor; but after the en-
thuSiasm, the cheers, the quickened
pulse-beats, and the laughter they
may together inspire, the House
settles back to methodical work, as
boys in school go back to their
books after recess. The man in the

damage inflicted by it at Stanford the
