tho senator could go on with his speech.

Four years have worked a wonderful
ihange in the temper of our people. I
never was so greatly Impressed with the
poet's thought, "Times change and men
change with them," as on tho cumpalgn
tour with Senator Hanna through Ne
braska. Four years ago It would have
been well nigh impossible for tho "engi
neer of tlie republican party" to have made
tho trip be did a week ago without suf
fering great Indignities and possibly have
been mobbed as the arch-enemy of the plain
people. Hut throughout the whole trip
lie was accorded respectful attention and
calm consideration, in Hue contrast to the
treatment accorded John P. Irish when he
followed in the wake of .Mr. Hryan Just
four years ago on November 5. Through
out his audiences were Interested, not oiuy
In tlie man himself, hut In what ho had lo
say. Hero and there an attempt was made
lo stampede tho senator, but tho hoodlums
were cried down, and generally ho was
shown true courtesy for which Nebraska
Is famous. To tho tireless, persistent,
enthusiastic public man, who is more in
tho center of tho picture than nny of his
contemporaries, tho changes in the tem
per of tho populace were noteworthy, and
Senator Manna seemingly never grow tired
of talking about tho treatment accorded
him and the orderly conduct of the crowds
that came for miles around to hear him
and Ills colleague, Senator William P. Fryo
of Maine.
I. Mile Time; for Host.
Tho senator's usual tlmo of retiring was
anywhere between 11 o'clock at night and 1
o'clock In tho morning, oftcucr the latter
thun tho former. It was nearer 2 than 1 when
ho turned in after his round of speech
making at Lincoln, the excitement of the
night growing out of his denunciation of
the democratic candidate, In his homo town,
because of attacks made upon him by Mr
Hryan in the Ohio senatorial campaign of
1S97, completely unllttlng him to sleep.
Cigar nfter cigar was consumed by Senntor
Manna as ho sat In tho observation end
of his private car and chatted with Fryo
und Victor Holllvor over tho stirring
events of tho dny, while his resourceful
secretary, Elmer Mover, was always nt
baud to nsslst "Undo Mark" get tho bet
ter of his nervous excitement consequent
upon the exactions of tho campaign.
Usually Senator Manna was out of bed
first, ready for another day's specchmak
lug and handshaking, enjoying to the full
tho crisp, bracing air of tho October morn
ings, his cheery volco and his smile, that
ao nearly resembles a sunburst, driving
away the shadows about the train am)
putting every ono In rnro good humor fur
another day's arduous lnbor. If Senator
Manna over felt tho bin den put upon him
ho failed to show It.

Now nnd then n stop would bo mudo at
somo station nlong tho routo not on the
card and a local committeeman would tell
him that 400 people had congregated at tho
station Just to got n gllmpso of tho "man
with horns." Good-naturedly ho would
mount his weak legs nnd walk painfully to
the car platform, from which ho would
speak to the crowd In his frank, open, busi
nesslike way, free from tho tricks of the
orator or public spenker. Mo was always
ready with nn answer to every question
from tho opposition, the fearlessness of his
Utterances und the qualntnesg with which
a lltmsy affair, and men and boys trying
to clamber on It broke It down Just ns Sen
ator Manna bad begun speaking. A cry
went up from tho great audience. The
platform had fallen about six feet and I lit
fifty persons on It wore mixed up In onu
indiscriminate mass. It seemed certain
that some must bo seriously, if not fatally
hurt. "Is Manna hurt?" "Mow Is
Manna?" cried tho spectators, and a panic
'We .ire both engineers; 1 run the party
and you run me."
"Well, 1 guess 1'vo got you faded then,
senator," said tho engineer, with n grin, as
tlie snap of the camera told that the pic
ture was made.
