Fable Well illustrated by an Amusing
Incident of the Hot Guberna-
torlal Campaign In Iowa
In 1859.

Samuel ]. Kirkwood, three times
governor of Iowa, twice United States
senator from that state and secretary
of the interior in 1882, was Of Mary
land birth, although In early life his
father removed the family to Ohio. In
the early ffties, when he was AZ years
of age, Senator Kirkwood moved to
Iowa. becoming. in fact. one of the
pioneers in the development Of that
state. Entering the Republican party
at its formation, he was that same
year elected state senator, and three
years later he was first elected COVER
nor. His was personality that was
racy Of the soil; his habits Of life and
Of ~thought we're original and unaf-
fected. and he was gifted with the
three qualities that have made Amer
lea great, namely, absolute sincerity,
great common sense, and strong
sense of bumor His fellow Iowans.
noting all this, made Samuel ]. Kirk

of quarter Of century.
When Senator Kirkwood was first
nominated for governor In 1859, the
Democracy of the state. recognizing
his great personal strength. deter
mined to summon the strongest men,
Der Of the party into the canvass by
nominating him for governor. To this
end, Augustus Caesar Dodge, who had
been United States senator for term,
beginning in 1S4s. and then was sent
by President Pierce as minister to
Spain, was chosen to lead the Iowa
Democracy In what was certain to be
the most desperate political battle the
state had ever known. Dodge was a
man of much cultivation and good
deal of superficial polish, which had
been heightened by his residence at a
foreign court; but he was very popu-
lar in Iowa, and the Democracy had
plenty of money, for the party pos
sessed national patronage.
Now 1t so happened that on the
same day and at the same hour there
were to be two great mass meetings
at Des Moines, the state capital. The
Republicans were to be addressed by
their candidate for governor, while
the Democracy was to listen to the
campaign oratory OF its gubernatorial
candidate.
Also, it happened that the two men

Fee for Representing Venezuela Be.
fore the Arbitration Tribunal In
Paris Was Not Paid Him
for Many Months.

Vastly different from the experience
of Grover Cleveland after he retired
from the presidency, in 1889. or again
IN 1892, was the fortune of BENJAMIN
Harrison. Mr.. Cleveland pracficed
law in New York, appearing once be-
fore the Supreme court at Washing
ton, between his first and second
terms. But his earnings during that
period could not have been very
large. since the chief reason which
led him to move to Princeton after
the end of his second term was the
fact that he could live there for much
less than the $4,000 year which.
with the strictest economy. he found
necessary to expend in New York
city. In 1897 Mr.. Cleveland's income
was SO small that he was glad to ac-
cept offers for periodical writing; and
q few years before the close OF his
life he was very glad to become
trustee for life insurance company.
partly because his regular income
would thus be augmented by about
$4,000 year.
Benjamin Harrison. however, after
leaving the White House. speedily
found himself deriving handsome In
come from his renewed law practice.
and about three years after he had re-
tired to private life he was offered a
retainer by Venezuela to appear as
counsel for that nation before the
commission appointed to arbitrate the
very important boundary dispute with
Great Britain that came to head
when President Cleveland bluntiy
warned John Bull to keep his hands

Harrison Had to Wait For Il

the largest retainer. and probably the
largest earnings. gained by any man
who had been president following his
retirement from the presidency.
General Harrison worked with the
zeal and thoroughness of great law
yer preparing what he came to regard
as the most important case of his pro-
fessional career. To master the case
involved a study of the history Of
Venezuela and OF British Gufana, the
mastery of international law. and of
many very technical and difficult
questions. especially applicable to the
dispute in question. l have heard
that General Harrison practically de-
voted the greater part Of two years to
this work.
when Harrison, at the appointed
time in 1899, appeared before the ar
bftration tribunal In Paris, he COM
manded general attention, at first be-
cause he had been president of the
United States. and afterwards be-
cause of the profundity and brilliancy
of his argument. His ability as a
great lawyer-one of the greatest liv.
ing lawyers-was then recognized
and there was good understanding OF
the reason which impelled the United
States to appoint him as its principal
representative at the first Hague
tribunal.
