HEARD AT HOTELS.

represented the Ola mckinney olStFlcL n
the House made a wide name for him
self because OF mis- industry. high char
acter, and ability, Is IN Washington FOR
the first time in several months. His
| term IN Congress was signalized BY ~
presidency in conducting the Sight 70
prevent Brigham H. Roberts. o. Utah.
from taking his seat in the House, be-
cause Of his practice Of p0iygamy. Judge
Tayler could have continued in Congress
Indefinitely, but he found il necessary %
| engage in something that would bring
/ him greater financial returns. He could
have carried out this plan most success
| fully but when offered the place Of United
States Judge was impelled 20 accept
an office so greatly IN lire with his tastes
and equipment
/ During his brief career on the bench
/ he has tried number Of important cases.
! and one in particular. that Of Mrs. Cas-
! sic Chadwick. which attracted the ct
/ tcntion Of the nation. This cause ceIebre
being mentioned, Judge Tayler was asked
/ if he thought from his observation OF
/ that woman that she possessed any hvp-
motto or mesmeric power By which she
exerted an influence over the men she
duped.
There was nothing" he answered. "to
| suggest the possession Of any extraor-
/ binary power. Mrs. Chadwick was neither
good looking nor brilliant taIker.
/ She had an abnormal degree Of nerve
and was an adroit student Of human na-
/ ture. She caught her victims by appeal
ing to one Of the greatest weaknesses Of
mankiRd-cupidity She played upon their
/ avarice with tremendous skill and she
| fortified herself by presenting in her
/ person all the outward appearance Of pos
! sessing great wealth. Her trial was alb
/ sOlutely without any dramatic incident:
/ not a single sensational episode occurred
/ in il, and not until the verdict was pro-
! nounced against her did she lose in the
! slightest degree her wonderful equip0ise."
Mr. ". NJ. Williams. son Of the former
Pennsylvania Representative from the
/ Scranton district, is at the New Willard.
| accompanied by his wife.
! For the past year OF so" said he 10
a Herald reporter, Il have made my home
/ In Colorado. It is one Of the greatest
I
! good people. but there is one Of its in
stitutions for which I have no great ad-
mirati0n. I refer 10 the exercise %. suf-
1 frage by the women Of that State. The
ballot was given 10 women on the idea
that IT would purify elections and elevate
politics, but / do not believe that any
such good results have accrued. In
numerous cases a great deal Of evil has
come Of allowing women 10 vote. II
IS not denied that INSCRIPTIONS political
| leaders never fail to corral and take n
/ the polls class OF women Of evil re-
/ pute. This element is Obliged 70
/ vote as they are commanded BY the
I bosses. under the threat Of being dis
turbed in the illicit business. out Of vyEIc,
/ they make living. On the other hand.
the respectable and good wives and
mothers frequently lose all interest in
/ elections, and many OF them fail 10 use
the ballot ! should say that woman
suffrage has not proved a glittering sue
cess in Colorado"
Conditions in Alabama are wonderfully
good remarked Judge William Richard
son, Congressman from that State. at
the Rises House. He has just returned
/
! Huntsville, and has come back in ad-
vance of the reconyening Of Congress TO
| look after matters Of importance to his
/ district
Times are excellent in our State" he
continued, "and in my immediate section.
North Alabama, there is an unprece-
dented prosperity. We have a region OF
country popularity known as the Bar
rens.' which at one time was thought
worthless, and which could have been
bought for almost nothing As showing
the trend Of the times. can tell you that
this supposedly 'gOOd-for-nOthing' section
/ has been settled upon by thrifty immi-
grants, and lands in that locality are nov
held at from so to 80 an acre. Our farm
ers made a good cotton crop. much better
! than was estimated. and are beginning a
New Year IN splendid shape. This re-
minds me that we do not care IN Ala
| bama 10 have any influx OF Iabcring .peo-
pie from certain Southern European coun-
tries. We believe that negro labor is
the best in the world for our especial
needs, and prefer the negro a thousand
times to these undesirable aliens"
rs there much discussion in your sec
ton of country over the Presidents &C
ton in the matter Of dismissing the negro
/ troops?"
Our people sustain Col Roosevelt IN
reservedly in his course in the Browns
vile case, but they do not care TO talk
about it. The South is getting business
ike and conservative. In fact. I predict
/ the time when the Southern States will
/ be relied on 10 preserve the whole
Union from socialism and Tadicalism OF
every sort. In line with this mission, I
I want 10 see the Democratic party select
for it's leader in 1895 that great and abIs
man Of stainless character, Judge George
Gray, Of Delaware, a man whose name
is a synonym for conservatism Let him
have as a running mate John W Daniel.
Of Virginia. or John Sharp Williams. OF
Mississippi, and we viii have a ticket TO
be proud Of
Conspicuous in the small minority OF
statesmen who did not so home for the
holidays is Hon. Robert G. Cousins. a
favorite son Of the Hawkeye State, and
a heavyweight Of the House, mentally
and physically. Mr.. Cousins told a Herald
reporter at the Shoreham that he not
only had business enough to keep him
at the Capitol but that he could i'll af-
/ ford to lose five valuable days, which
/ would be the total time spent in trans
portation between Washington and his
home in Iowa
