how Judge Ashbel Green Succeeded
In Stampeding Democratic Con-
vention In New Jersey and
Nominating Little Mac"

Il must tell you." said the late
Judge Ashbel Green to me. "of the
way in which once stampeded con-
vention. And when / tell you that
this was done in New Jersey, and that
the stampede. as politicians call It.
had never been successfully attempt
ed In that state before. you may be-
lieve with me that the incident was
Of unusual political interest"
Ashbel Green was one of the great
leading intellects of New Jersey. His
father was president of Princeton
when the War of 1912 was being
fought. and he was near of kin to
Commodore Stockton and United
States Senator John p. Stockton. He
was esteemed in his day one Of the
profoundest legal minds both of New
Jersey and New York, and in the lat
ter years of his life was one of the
leading counsel for the Vanderbilt
railroad interest. He died in 1905.
I'VE Democrats of New Jersey, in
the year 1877, were somewhat at sea-"
continued Judge Green There had
been some talk about nominating me
for governor, and I was told that II
l were willing to be a candidate, my
friends could compass my nomination.
But I had no ambition to serve as
governor Of New Jersey; in fact, my
professional duties would have made
1t impracticable for me at that time
to enter public life.
"A little later 1 learned that a Ger.
tain faction Of the party had made
up Its mind to nominate as candidate
for governor a man who, in my opin-
Ion. was not mentally fitted for the
post Of governor and on whom
feared that personal attacks, whether
well grounded or not, might be made,
to the party's serious embarrassment
at the polls. The organization con-
trolled the convention; what were
those Of US who did not like its can
didate to do? After thinking the
matter over. 1t seemed to me that the
only way to beat the organization was
to stampede the convention. But
what name would be potent enough
to take the convention of its feet?
LAS was seriously thinking the
matter over I happened to remember
that General George B. Mcclellan was

then living in Orange. True. he was
engaged in an important piece OF en-
cheering work for the City Of New
York, but his legal residence was In
the State Of New Jersey. I knew
that among the Democrats of the
state Mcclellan had retained the great
popularity he had gained In the days
Of the war, and l decided then and
there that his name. II any could
stampede the convention into nomi-
mating fit candidate for governor.
my friends agreeing with me, a
handful OF US decided to make the at
tempt to stampede the convention
away from the organization to McClel-
Ian. Now, I won't tell you what was
done in a preliminary way to effect
this, but I will describe to you what
was done In the convention. At the
proper moment. and at a time when
everything was very quiet, somebody
in the gallery jumped to his feet and
called for three cheers for Little Mac
II seemed to be a spontaneous call,
and in a twinkling of an eye. almost.
somebody on the floor Of the conven-
ton echoed the call: Three cheers
for Little Mac!' Still another mo-
ment, and two or three men sitting
in the gallery opposite the one where
the first call had come jumped up.
Little Mac! Little Mac!' they scream
ed at the top of their voices.
Here and there on the floor dele

ing with it. But nobody paid the
slightest attention to him. Little
Mac and nobody but Little Mac was
thought of and shouted for by the con-
vention. It was as perfect a STAN
pede as ever took place, and almost
before the convention knew 1t George
B. Mcclellan had been nominated by
II for governor of New Jersey by &C.
clamation. And l have always thought
that the most surprised man in the
state over the result was Mcclellan
himself. who, on the morning of con.
vention day, had no more idea of be-
ing nominated for governor Of New
Jersey than he had of being elected
president three years hence.
"But the best result Of the STAN
pede was that, thirteen years after he
had unsuccessfully led the Democratic
hosts of the nation as their presiden.
tial standard bearer. we triumphanty
placed Mcclellan In the gubernatorial
chair"

Other Animals Also Seem to Take
Pleasure in Listening to Har-

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have really any appreciation
of music This applies particularly
to the cobra. which responds to the
piping of a gourd instrument played
by the East Indian fakir with a
rhythmic movement suggesting a
dance The conclusion seems to be
that it answers to the musical notes
much in the same way as a dog does

How Three OId-Time Boston Mer

the morning papers. Presently there
entered two elderly men. who seemed
to be warm friends. In appearance
they were typical of the dignified. cul
tivated. Quiet-mannered merchant OF
Boston. Anyone seeing them would
have said at once that they were own
ers of vessels plying between Boston
and China or the West Indies. One of
them jingled some coins in a pocket;
the other tossed a ring Of small tools
back and forth in his hands. They
took their stand near where I was
seated.
Il wouldn't give a sixpence for the
whole capital stock" could not help
hearing one of them say. Il wouldn't
have gone into 1t II So-and-So had not
asked me to do 1t as a sort of favor to
him."
But hear that DR.. Hubbard has
at last worked out a plan for market
ing the stock, and he is pretty clear
headed business man." spoke up the
other.
Before the first speaker could reply
a third man. whose appearance and
manner also indicated the successful
merchant engaged in the China trade
came into the parlor. walked with as
rapid a step as his dignity would per

both hands first to one of them. then

TO KEEP SILVER BRIGHT
PoiIsl Well Once q Week, Keep In
p.awers Lined With Channels
or Flannel.

All household silver needs careful
attention. and to keep it in good con-
dition the housewife must sacrifice
considerable of her time. When
teaching an inexperienced maid her
duties in the household the mistress
should specially stipulate that the sill
yer sfbuld be cleaned al least once
In ea4 week. and that list Of all
the pieces should be kept on hook
In the pantry. After the thorough
cleansing of all the pieces they should
be counted and checked Of with the
list on the hook
Undf no conditions should any sill
yer be allowed to remain out In the
pantry at night, unless there is a spe-
cial place for 1t. Each housewife usu-
ally has a method of her own for
cleansing the silver. A good polish,
free from all sorts of grit and dirt. Is
the best thing that can be used. This
can be rubbed ON with = soft cloth
and ths polishing done later with
chamois Where engraved pieces
are cleaned great care is necessary
to get all the polish from the creases
and crevices. where 1t Is most likely
to lodge
One solution of the problem OF TAX
Ing care of silverware when 1t Is not
In use has been effective. A cup
board Is built under the pantry
shelves and fitted with a special lock
and compartments made for the sepa-
rate pieces. A shelf the length OF
the cupboard is placed little higher
than the center, thus leaving the low
er portion for larger pieces. Both
shelf and bottom are covered with
thick red flannel, and, in order that
dust may not gather, there is sepa-
rate flooring, as it were. under the
flannel. This permits it being taken
out and thoroughly brushed. The up
per shelf is divided into boxlike Sec
tons. in which the small pieces fit
easily. It requires less than five
minutes to put away everything, and
no longer to take them out in the
morning. Chamois is a good lining
for drawers where silver is kept.

Gladstone and Disarmament

was a guest at a dinner in London at
which were assembled some of the
leading men in British public life. one
or two governors of the Bank Of Eng
land. and two or three of the great
financiers of Europe. Mr.. Gladstone
was there as the ruest Of honor.
Before the dinner had gone far
began to learn at first hand Of the
manner in which Gladstone collected
that fund of detailed information
which made him the wonder of ev-
eryone in Europe who knew him. He
turned to one of the financiers.
How much gold do You expect
from Australia this year,? he asked.
when he was told the amount
have forgotten what it was. several
millions-he turned to another fnan-
cier.
How much gold il India going to
send usr he asked. Are they pro-
ducing any gold In the Lahore dis
trict? How do they transport the
gold from the mines at Lahore to the
seaport! a
The answers called for received.
Mr.. Gladstone's next question was put
to me. and when I had answered az
best I could regarding this country's
production Of gold. similar questions
were directed to others at the table.
Then. for a moment. the Grand Old
Man was silent. 'Ah,' he said, break
ing his silerce. the world Is 2roduc-
ing about an hundred millions of new
gold year and England ought to get
at least half Of It. He had in hiS
mind for future reference and use.
THE conversation was changed and
some one spoke about the question of
disbanding the armies Of Europe ana
curtailing the building of navies.
How large a standing army has
Germany? asked Mr.. Gladstone Of one
Of the gentlemen near by. and receiv-
ing the answer he asked successfully
OF as many men how large were the
standing armies of France, Italy and
Russia. Then he turned to me. Mr.
Depew.' he said. you have no stand
ing army in the United States worthy
Of the name. You have only your
militia I told him that his informa-
ton on the subject was correct.
Gladstone was again silent for q
moment or two. evidently making
mental computations. At hast he
looked up. and as he did 30 began to
speak in that wonderfully deep and
perfectly modulated voice Of his.

standing armies Of Europe number
