its directors, and the township commit
tee of Gloucester, recognizing the need
of a conservative head to direct the
wild South Jersey spirit of it's inhabi-
tants, took him unto itself.
Then in 1882 came his n act of
radicalism, which would be called a
fall from grace except h a he got
away with 1t. Uncle Dory decided to
be sheriff of Camden county. General
Sewell, who was accustomed to hav-
ing these little matters in his W
hands, tried to beat him with his own
mar for the nomination, and when he
failed lntimated that unless Uncle
Dory gave up right then and there
conservatism would have to find a
new shining example, because he,
Uncle Dory that is, would be n of
the deadest of dead ones. But the
general was wrong. Uncle Dory con-
tinued to run and won out over his
independent opponent without turning
a hair.
But that was the last Of it. C1emen-
ton, Camden county, needed a post
master In 1889 and Uncle Dory began
rifling the cards Eyes, certainly, postal
cards. for another three years.
From hat time on he has been a
miller, first, last and all the time.
Milling, If you want to make 1t so, is
about as conservative as anything you
can think of, and Uncle Dory is the

AN INNOVATION IN SENATORIAL POLITICS.

A miracle in politics has happened in Oregon. Governor George E Chamber
lair a Democrat, has been elected United States Senator or the first ballot by a
legislature strongly Republican. oregon is the State in which the plan Of choos-
ing Senators by direct primary originated. IN the State primaries lest year
there we're o Republican candidates against Chamberlain, and, as thu Repub-
l@an vote was thus divided. the Democratic candidate won nut with a plurality.
The anomaly Of a State devoted to Republican principles and policies sending
the United States Senate a man pledged to support Democratic principles and
policies made men revolt against carrying out a State law which was invalid,
ANYHOW because Unconstitutional and which ws contrary to our scheme of rep
resentauve government But far Western sentimen is peculiar and Innovation
is its prophet. Whatever is ley and noyel ad radical is reform. That's the
far Western idea waited across the boundess praires Oregon must fulfil her
high mission and set tn example OF progress. So for tn next six years strong
Republican State that "a a humping majority fr Taft N elected all the
Republican candidates for Congress-, will be representation misrepresentation
tho Senate by a senate pledged to vote every time against the dominant senti-
ment of the State OF national questions. 1t nay be affirmed that. if In the mex
six years Oregon is nd converted to Democracy. he innovation just introduced
will prove far from satisfactory. The miracle could never happen in the old
settled Eastern States where the principles Of a republican form of government
are better understood I'M are resouteIy adhered to-

Whose Bane Is Legislative Oratow
Moves the Previous Question on
the Youthful Pitts of
the House.

Dory. If he could get ~scythe-cut grain
to grind he would be even happier.
Seven elections ago the Republicans
of Candle county sent him to the
Legislature and the habit has grown
on them. Every year he conserva-
lively declines to run, but his constit-
uents have grow a little conservative
themselves and refuse to try new can
didates. When the local option bill
has passed and all Jersey has gone
dry Uncle Dory will still be declining.
Legislation, or rather the talk that
accompanies it, is the bane of his life.
Kill the bill or pass it, but, anyway,
get it out of the way without palaver.
With the power to call a caucus and
bind the party to en- action, Uncle Dory
cannot see the necessity for debate on
the floor.
He himself introduces a bill about as
often as he dances a horn-pipe in the
corridors. which is very, very seldom.
He has two duties on the floor of the
House, which he performs religiously.
One is to move for adjournment and the
other for the previous question. Uncle
Dory has saved more type for the
newspapers that way than all the rest
of the House put together. At the same
time he is not the least among the
great. He can always be sure of good
committees, where a man not given to
faVoring exuberant bills is a person TO
be desired, such a committee as the
railroads and canals, for instance,
where he is placed again this year.
There was talk, which was more than
talk, of making him leader of the Re-
publican side this year, but he would
have none of it. Simpler duties, well
performed, such as he Is accustomed
to, appealed more strongly to aim.
Sitting quietly in his seat or walking
about the corridors you might not think
that he was a force in the House or
even a member of it. But just see him
rise after IN eight-cornered fight and
say:
81 move the previous question"
Then you realize that conservatism
and Uncle Dory might swap names and
no n would know the difference.

discussion of some particularly
choice bit of legislation, you're going
to wonder how 1t is thai the members
ever stop talking long enough to do
any legislating and why bills are not
passed that would turn the State into
Utopia or some equally uncomfortable
place.
If you ask some of the promoters of
these bills you'll be told that it's on ac-
count of conservatism. You'll naturally
be ON the lookout for it after that,
and If you look long enough you'll
find it in the person of a short old gen
tleman in black clothes and gray whisk-
ers, sitting off the centre aisle OIL the
left side of the House.
That's Uncle Dory," otherwise
known as Assemblyman Theodore b.
Gibbs, of Camden.
Uncle Dory" is the House conserva-
tive. It's his speciality. He works at
it days, nights and holidays. Other
members, new ones, try to jump his
copyright sometimes, but when the
Legislature adjourned for the week on
Tuesday afternoon Uncle Dory'' was
still so many laps ahead of his nearest
competitor that he could begin run
ming around the other way now and
not use up his lead before the end Of
the session.
Uncle Dory laid the foundation for
his record in Mount Holly in 1888 by
being born. 1t was the most conserva-
tive thing he could do. Being born he
had received the sanction of the ages,
and Uncle Dory instinctively chose II
as an act against which even the most
~prejudiced would be unable to raise the
cry of radicalism.
Having gotten this suspicious start.
Uncle Dory kept up the good work,
and from that day to this, except just
once, he has never varied from his self
appointed course.
When the Civil War broke out Uncle
Dory Joined the Twenty-ninth New
Jersey Volunteers, and was so vigorous
in conserving and preserving the Union
intact that he became corporal. Such
adherence TO principle could not go
unrewarded by the country, so when
the cruel war was over he was made
postmaster of White Horse, in Cam
den county. and continued to deal out
seed catalogues and green goods circu-
lars there for six years, which accounts
for him until 1872.
From that time on Uncle Dory COM
menced to shine with a kind of candle
under-a-bushel glow in public life. The
