orally, is the most conspicuous hgufe
In his state, not excepting Gas Adj
dicks. and, second to Grover Cleveland,
is easily the leader Of the conservative
element Of his party. Despite his quiet
and digntied dcmeanor. he Is man
not without dramatic force. as is wit
messed by two notable incidents In his
career. The first of these occurred III
$780, when Gray was attorney general
of Delaware and delegate to the Dem
ocratic national convention. For three
days the warning Democrats at Cincin-
natl had been in bedlam seldom
euualed in convention history. The
roll Of states was being called for the
nomination Of candidate for the pres
idency. Speeches were being delivered
that were heard scarcely four seats
AWAY. "Delaware" shouted the clerk
in an attempt to make himself heard
above the babel A tall, athletic form
arose and shouldered his way toward
the platform. Even mobs have an in-
stinct and know leader. Scarcely
had half dozen sentences been BOOM
ed out by the new orator in his speech
nominating Thomas f. Bayard than
the hall began to grow quiet. The at
tention was soon succeeded by enthu-
siasm, and from that hour George
Gray, the young lawyer of Whining
ton, was marked man.
The other incident was crucial not
only in the life of Gray, but in that OF
the country. 1t was in the final hours
of the debate on the force bill. For
DAYS the Democrats had been talking
against the measure. the Republicans
refusing to answer or even to remain
] In the chamber When the day for q
| vote finally arrived, 1t was generally
conceded that the bill would pass. Just
as the vote on final passage was about
to be ordered Senator Gray began
three day speech against the measure
that gave time for marshaling the OPP
position, compelled Republican atten-
ton and helped in getting enough Re
| publican senators to vote with the
Democrats to kill the bill. Gray Is
generally credited with the death OF
that obnoxious act, a fact for which
the south has never ceased to be CRATE
full.
In the senate Gray was generally
credited with being the spokesman OF
President Cleveland. German was the
Democratic leader, but German and
Cleveland were too diverse in charac-
ter and training to work together
Gray, on the other hand, was In thor
ough accord with the president both
in character and policy and, moreover
was one of the ablest debaters In the
body.

Confidant Of Three Presidents

OVIIlIOOuS VI su w ssSSsS
1t is one of the anomalies Of politics
that Gray has had the full confidence
of three presidents as diverse in gen.
eral makeup and ideas as Grover
Cleveland, William Mckinley and The
odore Roosevelt. 1t is a significant
comment on the character Of the man
that. although a Democrat, he has re-
ceived prominent appointments from
two Republican chief executives. Since
he entered the domain Of national poll
tics Judge Gray has been in conspicu-
Gus disagreement with but one presi-
dent. and that was Benjamin Harrl-
son, who tried to compel the passage OF
the force bill. 1t is probable that the
Delaware jurist is not in the most
hearty accord with some Of the Roose-
welt policies, but there has been sucn

been lost in the noise. 1t IS one thing
TO ouell q tumult ii, a convention and
quite another to do it in the United
States. When Wall street is yelling on
one side and the people on the other,
it takes a pretty big man to be heard
above the roar.
Judge Gray is neither so old nor SO
frisky as Uncle Joe Cannon; he is not
SO eloquent as Bryan; he is not SO
plobular as Taft. and he is not so full!
of whiskers and conscious rectitude as
Hughes. He never saved mattresses
and drank buttermilk, like Fairbanks;
, he never ran political machines, like
Cortelyou; he never defied the light
nings of Roosevelt, like Foraker and
he never walked all over the railroads,
like Hoke Smith and La Toilette. Nei-
Their has he conducted three cent fare
crusades, like Tom johnson. nor re-
yersed brutal Republican majorities,
like Yon Yonson. He never sent
! grafters to jail, like Joe Folk, nor did
things to the trusts, like Philander Knox
and Judson Harmon. Possibly 1t Is for
these reasons that he does not regard
himself seriously as q presidential can
didate. Yet he did help to settle mo-
mentous labor strike, and he did rem

Admired by Men Of Affairs.

Judge Gray has shown himself worthy
Of this sort of study. He is one of the
few men that have gained large
support among both capitalists and
workingmen His character and rec
ord have long won him admiration
among men of affairs. His conduct Of
the coal strike commission gained him
support from the laborers.
Judge Gray's opponents charge that
he is reactionary: that he is the can
didate of special interests. This is one
of the matters that must be scruti-
nized. Opposed to every kind of radi-
calism he certainly is. This with him
Is both a matter Of conviction and
temperament. On the other hand, no
one can charge him with favoritism to
special interests in the coal strike de-
clsions. He afterward acted as arbi-
traitor in an Alabama strike where the
mine owners even charged him with
leaning toward the men.
Judge Gray refused the nomination
of the Cold Democrats in 1896. Posi-
bly that is the reason he is still polit-
ically on earth.
Personally the Delaware candidate Is
tall and of distinguished appearance.
He is a prodigious worker even at his
advanced age Of sixty-eight. He has a
quiet humor and enjoys a good story.
Despite the fact that he does not
look upon himself as a possible noml-
nee, Delaware has declared for him,
and he has large following in Penn
sylvania and throughout the east. This,
with the friendship felt for him in the
south, his wide fame as jurist, Ia
Dor arbitrator and an advocate OF
peace, makes him distinctly presiden-
tial possibility whether he will or not.

Tho Foolish Artists.

'Pouf," said the hard-headed old
man, who had made a fortune in bus
mess, II wouldn't let my daughter
marry an artist If I knew that she
would have to be an old maid on &C
count of my refusal. You take these
artist fellows as a class, and what do
they amount to? They're stupid lot
OF dreamers, that's all. They haven't
any practical ideas, and deserve the
hard luck that generally comes to 'em.
It's good enough for EN- that they
have to eat whore the meals ara cheap.
Look at 'em right now, for instance.
There's a lot OF agitation about lettin'
art into this country free. What are
the artists dom about it? Nothin'. II
they had any sense they'd see that
lettln' in the pauper art Of Europe
would hurt their business, and they'd
come out strong In support Of Uncle
Joe's' policy Of keepin' out competition.
By George, 1t makes mo sick to think
there are people who ain't got no more
business instinct than that"

sibly they will be right and we wrong.
We are too close to these days to note
their excellencies. Our children in re-
Prospect may see and understand what
we overlooked.
Judge Gray is of the old school of
Democrats to which belonged the
Bayards, the Tildens and the Cleve-
lands. His courtly manners, his kind.
~ and dignified humor and his rigid
code of honor are characteristic Of q
yet earlier day. But his industry. his
keen sense Of justice. his American
ism, his grasp of fundamentals and
his ability to apply them to present
day problems-these belong to all time
At present there are so many kinds
of Democrats that they cannot be re-
ferred to as school, but as univer,
sity. Yet the opposition has no occa'
sion to fly on the fence and emulate
the rooster. There are also several
kinds Of Republicans:
Rooseveltists, stand patters. old guard are

tendency, the history of the country
might have been different.

sorry for without that. Besides, regret
is about the most useless, negative
and idiotic thing in the world. What is
