A Year Of individuality.

The versatility of millinery is its
charm this season. says London pa
per. Individual taste must be pleased
with the variety offered on all sides.
Some of the latest novelties in mil

varied to warrant the assertion that
all types OF faces can be fitted with
some form of headgear which offers a
distinct touch OF novelty either in its

In 1880 Mr.. Hughitt became vice

of the Northwestern. As was the case
with almost all of the railways of the

How He Kept Horatio Seymour From
Being Chosen Delegate to conven-
tion Of 1876, and Was Not
Suspected.

A year or SO prior to the Democrat
ic national convention of 1876 the lead
ing Democrats of the west were of
the common opinion that the Demo
cratic candidate should be named
from among the western Democrats.
or. at least. should not be chosen from
among the Democracy OF New York
state. They reasoned that IL was
high time that the west should be rec
ognized by the national Democracy in
the selection of a candidate for presi-
dent, and not be compelled longer to
nnd consolation in the nomination OF
a candidate for vice president from
that section.
Meanwhile Samuel ]. Tilden, then
governor of New York. was perfect
ing the adroit strategy by means of
which he expected to secure the Demo
cratic nomination for president And
how skillful and subtle was his STRAIT
egy. and how little suspected, an anec-
dote which will now relate will well
illustrate.

AN excellent suggestion" Governor
Tilden replied. "a very excellent sug-
gestion, Mr. Mayor You have done
me a real service by coming to me
and making it" And then he inti-
mated to his caller that the interview
was at end. The train was slowing
up at Poughkeepsie. and the mayor
bade the governor good day and went
from the room.
As soon as he was gone Governor
Tilden arose carefully from the couch,
Iimped painfully to the door of the
stateroom, cautiously thrust his head
out to see whether the mayor of Uti-
ca had really gone, and then returning
whispered to Depew:
This man of whom Hutchinson
complained recently called upon me.

He will do nothing of which l do not
approve. What he is doing l do ap-
prove" And, winking slyly. Governor
Tilden again stretched himself out up
on the sofa.
From that moment Depew knew
that the delegates to the New York
state convention would be men whom
Tilden could trust. who would elect
their delegates to the national con-
vention united in Tildens support. and
with whom western delegates could
make no bargain looking to the side
tracking of Samuel J. Tilden. And all
that Tilden planned for occurred.

publican party for the presidential
nomination Meanwhile. Il had been
known for weeks that the leading can

would probably be a good second:
and the belief was general that Presi-
dent Grant would be gratifed were
his staunch political and personal
friend. Roscoe Conkling nominated.
Up to the time of the announcement
OF Bristow's candidacy. the Conkiing
forces were hopeful of bringing about
the nomination of their man: but
when they learned OF the new entry
in the field. and observed how the re-
form element was focking to him.
they became alarmed. and as the time
approached for the convening Of the
convention. they became Of the fixed
opinion that the candidacy OF Mr..
Bristow. II continued in the conven-
ton itself. would make the defeat of
Conkling certain and probably result
in the nomination OF Blaine.
To obviate this disaster. shortly be

reply.
Not unanimous for Conkling!" ex-
claimed the New York senator's ad-
herents. why. the delegation is in
structed to vote for him"
Yes. that is So" was the retort,
but Mr.. Bristow knows that there is
one man in the delegation who will
not heed those instructions. and.
Furthermore. he is the man Mr. Bris-
tow has selected to make the speech
placing him before the convention for
the presidential nomination"
who Is the MANI" Bristow's friends
were asked.
1T is George William Curtis" was
the answer.
II was as Bristow's friends said II
would be. George William Curtis, rep
resenting n New York district. placed
Bristow in nomination in superb
speech. and the votes that Mr. Bris-
tow received in that convention-on
the first ballot they numbered 11s-
were, in the opinion of many Of the
delegates. chief among the causes
which led to the defeat OF Roscoe
Conkllng for the nomination.
Among Mr.. Bristow's more intimate
personal and political friends It was
always understood that by contributing
to the defeat of Conkling's ambition.
Mr.. Bristow felt that he had fully
evened up scores with the president
who wanted him to be attorney gen.
eral and did succeed in making him
secretary of the treasury.
