 Thomas Fortune Ryan and his right hand lieutenant. William F. Sheehan, Charles F. Murphy, boss of Tammany, and Roger C.. Sullivan. boss of Chicago, | are on deck naturally. MT Ryan Is wearing a bit of weed and one beholding him would not guess that he is the pos sessor of many millions and the moulder of political destiny He is delegate from Virginia, having been elected be- cause he owns farm in the Old Domin- ion. When Bryan made that fiery assault against the captain of fortune Ryan

 Murphy, who holds in leash the tiger of Tammany, started his career-though seeing him and knowing his strength, one would not believe-as a street car conduc- tor in New York. Soon he arose to the dignity of a saloon proprietor. Then he became a ward heeler and attracted the attention of the late and lamented Rich ard Croker.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina has his pitchforlk along. Near him, strange to relate, is Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor.
