Story of old-Time Politics.

In conversation with an old friend of
Gen. Bragg's in a Denver hotel lobby
the other evening, mention was made
as TO the old tire-eater's capacity FOR Wit

incident which occurred at West Bend
during the memorable campaign of 1883
Il believe it w2sl, when Bragg sought Il

bachelor, bearing close resemblance to
Boss" Kelley of New York, and man
seemingly invincible as partisan fight
er III his county. Bragg owed ii to this
man more than to any one else that he
failed to get the delegation from Wash
ington county. In the evening after a
day of strenuous work in barnyard poll
tics and when the defeat Of Bragg had
become clear, the latter and his adver-
Sary, Fmnegan. met at Glantz's hotel
in West Bend the famous haunt of the
political powers that We're in those days.
Over a bottle of wine an animated
discussion ensued, touching general top

both men were well versed, both sides

contain his exuberance no longer and
burst out with the remark that be had

rejoinder, as he screwed up his lace in

The general was right. Both Delaney

Finnegan was made one of his assist

Democratic ranks. Richard Guenther,
with his little carpet bag, was allowed to
come in from an outside district TO carry
off the plum so coveted by Delaney,
while Finnegan was succeeded by Charles

Washington county, the elections thus
turning out disastrously for them.
