Ua wiih from Jlrnt to lipt the coiiiiniuitlliiK persoimllty, tho center of till elTort.tho tiiitliiHprlng of tho ninchiiic on tho Deniocrntic witln. Mr. Whitntiy did not t,'o into thin ciiinpiilgii with iiny roKIkIi motive. IIo wnnted no olllcc and wants no ofllco now. Anything within tho j?lft of Q rover Clovehuid, lm it Hccrotury of ntalo, of tho tretiHiiry or luiuititer lo England, is IiIh without the naldug if ho will only accept. Hut tin Icnh ho chaugeH IiIh mind, which ho in very unlikely to do, Air. Whitney will hold no ofllcinl post under tho Cleveland ndminiitration. It Ih a hccrcl. which has been tolerably well kept Unit a year ago Mr. Whltuoy woh not in favor of the nomination of Mr. Cleveland for president. Ho wan inclined to hold aloof ami take 110 pint in tho efforts which wero being matin in that diiectiou. Some months later it became known that ho wiii for Cluvu land. How wero IiIh Hympathies enlist ed? Not through any appeal to selfish ness. Not by any prollt or advaiitngo that was promised for liiinsolf, Ho was won over simply by 11 conviction that it was his duty to stand by his old chief. "It is evident tho Democratic- party of tlto nation wants Mr. Cleveland for its candidate," argued Mr. Whitney to him bclf, "and whilo tho party conditions in his own state are nil against him tho Democracy of tho country Bliould have its own way. I bellovo Mr. Cleveland can bo nominated and elected." It is not extravagant to say that when Mr. Whitney reached this conclusion tho battlo was half won, and it is perfectly justifiable to add that but for Mr. Whit, ney Grover Cleveland would not now bo tho presidentelect of tho United States. IIo held tho key to tho situation both Iteforo and after tho Chicago cimvontiou Whether wo bo Republicans or Doitm crnts or nothing at all, wo all admire a masterful man, n great military com mnnder, 11 notable political genius. And for this reason I wish nil my renders could have eeeu William Collins Whit ney nt Chicago. Ho was Riiporb. Amid nil tho storm of battlo thcro was never a rnfllo in his feathers, Whon tho enemy charged most viciously ho smiled most happily. When others thought tho Cleveland causo was going to ruin ho moved easily nbout, without a shadow upon his face, without hasto or bustle in his manner. Not for a second did ho cease to bo calm, deliberate, polite, en tirely nt his ease. I well remember 0110 moment when men wero running hither and yon in their excitement over n fresh rumor which if well founded meant de feat to Cleveland, Whitney sat talk ing over college days with an old friend. Ono of IiIh lieutenants, with blanched face, whispered in his ear. "I'll attend to that," said Whitney. Instead of rush ing away ho continued his conversation half an hour, as if nothing had happened. All eyes wero upon him as ho finally roso to leavo tlto room. Un Ills way out he stopped to chut in u pleasant way with a dozen people, and it did not much matter who they were. Whitney is equally polito to millionaires and work logmen, affable to all who address him. Neither his wealth nor his honors work chaugo in him or mako him anything else than that which ho has always been an easy going, well bred, kindly, con siderato gentleman. Within an hour probably after hearing U10 bad news of which I have spoken Whitnoy reached tho spot whero danger was threatened. In fifteen minutes the skies were bright again, and tho Clovehuid snu shone more brilliantly than over. There was Boino mnglc in Whitnoy's touch, something almost infallible in his finesse, which enabled him, upparently without effort, without tho speaking of a harsh word or employment of any caustic method, to accomplish that which most men would fail in. One of his strokes saved tho day for Cleveland at Chicago. A majority of the convention, as every ono know, was for tho ex-president. But tho Now York opposition, led by Flower, Croker, Mur phy and Sheehuu, hud planned a move which if executed would have intimi dated tho convention into sotting Clove laud aside, It wus nothing less than a split in tho party, un ocn bolt, tin ex odus from the couvoution hall. The time had como for tho striking of a blow, and Whitney did not fail. Tammany Hall hud pluccd boforo it in a way which commanded its respect a choice betv.-et n fair piny at Chicugo or loss of tho city government of Now 'York. Tammany chose the former, and Cleveland was nominated. Whitney's generalship lit Chicago w a forerunner of his generalship in '.I campaign. Alter tho nomination Cleveland the Democratic outloo'.c 1 Now York slato was as gltinni) 1 s 1 could be. Four elements wcic found 1.1 tho Democriitlo party theie. Tim lln-i most powerful ones went the Ilillot n tilar state Di'iiiociiiuj, iiimtititny in 1! city and the McLaughlin IVnini r.n Hrooklyn. If unv ono of Ihesi- t'n held uloof tho Hlitto could not ltocnrili 1 The fourth elemenl tho nntl-lllil nr gnulzntlon-pi'iMstiMl in netMty, n'nl -long as it t'lidcnvnicd to assert ilu'lf , lilt co orgunl.atlons sat in their ten, Few men believed that out of these nu dltions victory could bo organized. Tim Republican muniment did not believe it could bo done. Hut thcro docs nol nj pear to bo an impossibility with W. (A Whitney. Quietly, slowly, without any ' with no theatrical or violent inen-u- , he caused tho null-Hill organization 11 wither and (hit tlncoiegular Deiuocr.it.c machines to "get together" and blosi . 1 with common energy and cnUmMns 11. No other man than W. C. WhiPnj could have done this, and he did it In such a wuy that not until tho election was but three weeks uwiiy did the Re publican liiunugcrH believe it hud been accomplished at all. Almost to the lied they wero dcpciulli,? upon troachei v In tho DeiiKciutic camp to help them entry the slato for Harrison treachery which of course nevursliowed lb-elf, and which Mr. Whitney know was impossible. However little wo may like the result of this brilliant uiaungemeut, wo must gieatly admiio it, and an argument in favor of my theory that fidelity, fair play and friendship are more powerful factors in pontics than selfishness is found in tho principle which guided Mr. Whitney In his wotk and tho methods which ho adopted. Peace was not wiought in Now Yoik by "trades" or bargains with tho various factions, as many think. Tho famous Victoria hotel dinner, at which Mr. Cleveland had as guests tho very men who at Chicago had fought him like tigers and declared ho could never carry Now York in tho elec tion, was not tho occasion of a ratifica tion of 11 compact or treaty. Mr. Whitney had moved upon tho as sumption that all the leaders of these factions or organizations wore, first of all, Democrats; that if they could be sat isfied all tho past was to be forgotten. Tlto slates wiped clean and tho future to bo what they might mako it, irre spective of all past differences, they would bo willing to assume responsibil ity, each in his section or city, for Dem ocratic success. The Victot la hotel din ner gave this assurance. Mr. Cleveland satisfied Croker, Murphy, .Sheehan, Mc Laughlin that their caut-o was com mon, and that in success all would shine. This was tho crisis of tlto campaign, so far as New York state was concerned. Immediately that followed which Whit ney had foreseen. Responsibility was accepted by each of tho three organiza tions, anil with this accomplished Whit ney for the first timo felt that tho battle was won. In his philosophy and it is 1!tis wholesome pluiM) of human naturo oven in politics that I am trying to lay stress on thechances aro ninety-nino out of a hundred that tho man who accepts responsibility will do his best to succeed Onco in tho battlo men never desert. It there nro st Higglers from tho camp, if thero Is treachery afoot, look for them before tho light has begun or not at all. A political campaign is much like n battlo anyway. Get 11 man in it with a saber or a musket in his hand, and he will fight, i'0 matter with what reluc tance ho may liuvo entered. Tho more ho fights tho better ho likes fighting; the more power in his arm tho more in tonne his desire for victory. It was rec ognition of this principle of human im turo which enabled Whitnoy to wi.. New York for Cleveland. When the Hill men and the Tammany men took hold of tho work of the campaign they did not themselves believo they would Oght with so much effectiveness. At first they wero soiuowhnt porfunc tory in their efforts, indifferent. That was seen by all. It was seen by Whit ney of course. But ho did not lose his head and go rushing about lingering peoplo by punching them and prodding them. He bided Ills timo and did not havo long to wait. The enemy did moro in a week to rouso thorn than ho could have dono in ton years. Tho buttle warmed them up, and they charged to win. What is true in this respect of the Democratic- sido in Now York is true also of tho Republicans. Thero, too, were factions holding aloof; danger of indifference, oven treachery. Tho Re publicans, again, had a counterpart of the Victoria hotel dinner in the meeting of President Hurrison with Mr. Piatt and others at Ophir farm. Hero was ac ceptance of responsibility which brought loyalty and earnestness in its wake. Selfishness is not tho dominant motive in politics. Throughout tho country in the recent campaign thousands of men gave of their timo and money to tho party of their choice through pure love for that party, with no thought of tangi ble reward. Tho illustration which 1 hnvo mndo in the case of Sir. Whitney would Iw equally truo in untold iiuml 1 V of other parsonul experiences. Worthy of special note is the case of Mr. Clarksou, who wus denied a sent in tho cabinet by President Harrison, who, at tho presi dent's request, stepped down from the chairmanship of the national committee, who would havo no ofllco in President Harrison's gift, and yet Clarksou woil-i d night and iluy with r.iro skill and genius to compass Mr. Harrison's sutcess. Another case is that of Don Dlckin sou, of Mic'a gan. For six months H private business has had no attention from hiiu. IIo has given all hht linn and much of his money to the Clevelnvu cause.

That uatini might be applied Ion duck, hut not to a turtle. As a dentist, In Is perhaps a little slow, hut he does hl work well. At least ho can pull a tooth out.

Then Philip fastened the other end of the thteitd to a hole In the shell of one of hi" turtles. The turtle walked olT Into the grass. Philip braced himself and stood stock still. In a minute the queer little dentist had pulled the tooth out. I am sorry to say that this dentist turtle has since died, leaving n family of four. He was hurled under the grapevine, with 11 llttlug epitaph. On one occasion this turtle went out foi a little visit in a neighbor's yard. The servant had placed upon her hack stoop 11 dish of doughnut fat to cool. The dentist, left to himself, calmly walked Into It, uur rowly escaping an untimely death. He wus rescued, and after a deal of bathing and wiping was lestored to his former self. Philip's turtles are often taken in a small red wheelbarrow to the common pond for their baths. They are allowed to swim the length of their strings and then brought home, looking fresh and happy The death of the dentist turtle set hi' master to thinking. Tho tttrtlu was silent before his death and has been silent ever since. I suspect that Philip's tongue is not often so silent its that of thu turtle. It may have been this fact, or it may be, hie mother thinks, that he heard the text aliout silence in heaven for half an hour, which prompted him to usk tho question, ".Mamma, if I should die talking, would 1 always keep on talking?"
