sweeping everything before it it was
said to be booming" The st. Louis
editor aimed to convey the thought
that the movement for the nomina-
ton of Grant for the presidency in
1880 was like the onward sweep of
great river under such conditions,
and therefore a boom. The term soon
came into general use, and has been
applied in the United States ever
since, like the spontaneous and pre-
concerted or organized movements
looking to the placing of some per-
son in an office of Importance, not

"TOM" TAGGART PROVES TO

st. Louis.-Senator Tom" Taggart,
Indiana's popular citizen, was one Of
the mOst-sought-after men in the con-
vention. Delegates who wanted lust
one more ticket for a friend went to
Tom; newspaper men wanting favors
of all kinds sought him out; officials
worried about arrangements poured
their troubles into his ears, and the
marvel of it all is that none went away
dissatisfied. The Hoosier sOlon found
time and means to grant every request,
or, at least, pour enough oil upon the
troubled waters to send his visitors
