THE CANDIDATE.
By GE1K TURNER ,

In some parts of the country there maybe
bo still Isolated specimens of the type of ex-
lieutenant Governor Culberson. With us
lie remained for years the last solitary rep
resentative of the fine old-fashioned political
lenders , who lived with the Ideals of Webster
and Calhoun and Clay still before them. His
tall and stately figure , his smooth-shaven
face , his stock and his long-tailed legis
lator's coat of tha type preserved In famous
BtatcHroen's pictures , hut now extinct as the
dodo In real life , nil remained still llxcd In
the minds of those who were honored In
many speeches by his opening apostrophe of
"fellow citizens. " In the smallest detail of
llfo he conducted himself with the dignity
becoming a man on whom a thousand eyes
wcro llxcd j his very use of his handkerchief
was a survival of the days of snuff ; his
speeches , his critics declared , wore things of
magnificent distances.
Ex-Llcutcnant Governor Culberson had
walled ten years to be governor , hungering
and thirsting , but expecting fervently to be
fed. Ten years Is a considerable slice out
of an Individual's life , but It la rather loss
thnn It usually takes for the governorship
to revolve around to our section and then
wo have to divide It 'between ourselves at
the county seat at Westchcster and the
manufacturing town of Johusonvlllc , ten
miles away.
A great many things happen In ten years ,
but the ambition of the Culbcrsons Is mad.
avoided It. Yet "Governor" Culbercon was
much pleuscd with his Interview. When ho
aroao * o ro Sam Wilson complimented him
on his health.
"iou uio looking extremely well , 'gov
ernor , ' " he said.
The "governor" acknowledged the compli
ment.
"Ily the way , 'governor , ' " said Wilson ,
"arc you older or younger than I nm ? "
"You arc "
"Sixty-seven. "
"Ah , then , sir , I am a year your senior , "
said the "governor. " "I am 08. "
The stately old figure , with Us gold-headed
cane , tramped heavily away. As ho heard
Its footsteps on the stairs "Sam" Wilson
sank back again Into his old otnce chair
and shook his head.
Wilson had followed the world closely
through his gold-bowed spectacles , and h
Hv cl In n different generation from "Gov
ernor" Culberson. In the old school of pol
itics a man had become just rlpa for gov
ernor at CS ; now n man In his greatest
Bticnuth was none too strong. Sam Wilson
remembered with a half smllo the
days when a flue figure and man
ners and an unexceptional family
were chief among the qualifications
for the governorship. The governor must
jc a lighting man now , with the physique of
an athlete , the Intellect of a criminal law
yer and nerves like telegraph wires. Ar
rayed against him wna the cleverest band
Culbenon had many friends In town ; bo-
nldCB wo have a natural feeling that wo do
not oaro to hand over to Johnsonvlllo any
thing we can reasonably keep ourselves.
Sam Wilson had bin work cut out for
him and ho knew It. And the worst part
of It was , his candidate waa not sure ho
wanted to run. This strange phenomenon
w a brought about by perfectly natural
causes. Miles Horcomb was the head of the
big Tohnsonvllle mill. Ho was a leader In
the ranks of the men who do thlngfl. Big ,
broad-shouldered , tough and shrewd , ho was
the typical guardian spirit of a cotton mill
and he recognized that there was his place.
Once ho had taken time to play lieutenant
governor for a term , but that was only
a elde Issue. Ho was not anxious to let
the big machine trundle along by Itself for
two years whUo he went off to play gov
ernor. When he first Tead hU name In the
paper , It was rumored na a remarkable fact
, among the men who would have laid down
( their lives to be governor for one month ,
that he nore vigorously.
Hut no one know better than Sam Wil
son the man ho had to deal with , or the
tools ho had to use. Within twenty-four
hours Sam was visited by a half dozen
Johneonvllle politicians , among them two
or three friends of Holcomb. Thcao ho In
structed to win Holcorab arounu imme
diately. It Isn't every day that the nom
ination for governor comes knocking at a
man's door , said Sam. "Besides , you can
tell him It won't hurt his business any to
have had the title of governor. You want
to start at him right off , too , because the
Curberson fellows from here will bo over
right away to see what he will do. You've
got an early atari and you waut to keep
going. "
Sam Wilson was right. After thinking
the matter over a couple of days , the Cul
berson circle decided to approach Holcomb
to learn his position. They found him atlll
of Htern stuff. Governor Culburson's grand
father had been governor and his father a
senator , ho Intended to Hvo up to the family
traditions. As a matter of fact ho was al
ways called "governor , " the tltlo la much
shorter and easier to Bay than "lieutenant
governor. " At the beginning of the decade ,
when ho had just retired from the lieutenant
governorship , "Governor" Culberson was the
most prominent figure In our section of the
state. Ho strove with every power he
possessed , consistent with the dignity to re
tain the position , He was as erect anil
hearty as a young athlete and as particular
In hlB appearance as n bridegroom waiting
for his brldo. In the meantime his wife , a
beautiful old-time gentlewoman , had died ,
and his children had all moved away , but
the flno old-fashioned figure remained among
the ruins of tbo homo , null staring at the
prize which should consummate his career.
Karly In the eprlng of the eventful year
"Governor" CulbcrBon made his first call
on Sam Wilton at the Herald office thi >
f once noted "Sam , " now only u memory In
the mlnde of those queer gray old newspaper
men , who have como down to us from an
other generation. The "governor's" ha-
rouclio drew up to thu curbing before the
office and the "governor" himself followed
the stops of many another Illustrious man
up the dingy stairs until he penetrated to
the presiding genius of the place , seated In
his little untidy temple with the sacrificial
piles of dusty newspapers around him. In
the history of the underside of things , which
will never bo published , Sam Wilson waa
the greatest figure In his state. Other men
made forao and history ; Sam WlUon made
iho men. And many an unformed soul from
the outer world which tsurrounds politics
had clambered ui > there , pleading to bo made
and many men famous In local history bad
como in submissively at all hours o ! the
\
day and night to bog a favor or to nsk
advice , and many a letter came Into that
old black walnut desk , franked from the
white house Itself , asking Information from
the man who know more about the state
than any one else alive and who did not
fear to tell the truth about It.
When "Governor" Culberson opened the
door of Sam Wilson's llt'lo den he recog
nized In a dim way that he had reached a
crisis In his affairs. Ho had never himself
experienced the power of the man , yet ho
had often observed It In the fortunes of
others. Sam Wilson sat bu.'are him at his
rtcflk , a gray old schoolmaster of politicians ,
staring at him over his gold-bowed spec
tacles. Wilson showed no surprise at thu
visit , sooner or later they nil came up to
him. Yet , In his gruff way he was very cor.
dial. Hn shook hands warmly , cleared a
chair for his visitor from the accumulation ! )
it papers and rose and closed the glass door ,
Then the two old men eat clown together ,
waiting for the first move the one with tb
hope In his breast for the fulfilment of the
ambition of his life and the other able In a
seme to give It to him or , , at least , , to get
It for him.
But thu Culbcrsons are not the stuff that
Euppltents are made of. The "governor"
was a petitioner at the power of the press ,
but ho had no Intention , of losing his dig
nity. After kome political gossip between
them bo made his whole proposition.
"I have < ; ome , sir , " he said , "to remind
you of what you are aware doubtless already ,
that our section of the state has the prior
claim on the nomination for governor this
yrar. It Is my deslro to ask you to agitate
thu subject , Hlr , in the columns of your
newspaper. It would bo a valued favor to
your Hectlon. sir , to make our claim on the
ufllco apparent ixt this time , before those
pcoplo In the northern section of the state
claim U again on some pretext or other , "
Sam Wilson assontrd readily to the prop
osition. Ho had been planning to da this
for sorao little time , ho tinld , and ho was
very glad that the " "
"governor" had come In
to remind him of It. Nothing further on the
Kovernorablp w a mid , Both men carefully
"NO DOUBT HK WOULD MAKU A GOOD GOVERNOR , Sill. "
of sharpers that the country afforded , hired
by princely pay for what they could steal by
outwitting the representatives of the people
mid especially this one man. The governor's
work was not for a benevolent old gentle
man. It may bo different in some other
states , but wo are killing governors at 45.
Nevertheless , Sam Wilson wanted the gov.
ernorshlp for our section and began to call
for It most heartily. At the northern end
of the state there was soma tendency to de *
mur at first , but the general drift of events
seemed favorable to us. There would be
no difficulty In finding the proper candidate ,
the Herald asserted.
It was at this time that "Governor" Cul
berson began to enjoy a foretaste of the
joys of victory. The old-fnshloncd country
politicians who formed hla council of ad
visors considered the choice already made.
Was there any such candidate In our part
of the Btato ? they asked , convincingly. Ho
also received many calls and many letters
from homeless politicians who wished to
out themelves on record.
In a short time the "governor" considered
It his duty to visit the Herald office again.
"I have come , sir , " he said to Wilson ,
"to congratulate you on your apparent sue-
cess in upholding the rights of this sec
tion , sir. "
The tough old newspaper man winced at
the task there was before him , but he went
nt it with his customary vigor.
"Ves , " ho said ; "we're going to get 1t , I
believe. Now , we have got to pick the man.
I'm glad you dropped In today , 'governor , '
for I have been thinking over that matter
pretty ha I and I'd like to talk It over with
you. I'll tell you how I see It. You know
how wo are fixed. Tbo times are 1ia.nl ,
devilish hard , and there's a gang of rascals
up there at the state house who would rob a
communion box. It'll be a hard fight , but we
want to knock them out and wo want a man
from this end of the state to do It a young
man and a business man , I've given the
matter a good deal of time and I think I
have hit upon the right man for the place-
it's ox-Lieutenant Governor Miles Holcomb
of Johnsonville. " He stopped a moment to
give emphasis to his words.
" ' ' " he continued "what
"Well , 'governor , ,
do you thlnkT How would Holcomb do for
the place ? "
The old man had been gradually stiffen
ing up for the blow during Wilson's explosive -
plosive conversation. His face was nearly
purple when U fell. Ho arose to his feet.
"Mr. Holcomb Is an admirable man , sir. "
ho said , "No doubt ho would make a good
governor , sic. Good day , sir. "
Sim Wilson mopped his face as the old
man stamped down the stairs. "That's ,
work , " he said.
Hut Sam Wilson had something more to
occupy his mind that day than sentiment.
Ho must bring out In the morning the Her
ald's candidate. Ho bent all the best ener
gies of a veteran political pleader into his
appeal for Miles Holcomb. And to close up
oil avenues of retreat he quoted "Governor"
Culberscm on the nomination. "That vet
eran leader of the party , " tha article ran ,
"ex-Lieutenant Governor Culberson , when
consulted on the subject , expressed his
warm opinion of the choice. "
This announcement of a candidate made
o more than ii'ii" ' " | J " " nnc"
undecided and. In spite of the assaults of
his friends , still with a leaning to decline ,
which they hoped to encourage.
The Johnsonvllfe men , In the meantime ,
posted back to Wilson In alarm. "He's
obstinate as the temperance vote , " Bald one .
of them. "He says he can't afford It ; 'It
will cost him $25,000 a year out of the busi
ness and heaven knows how much more ,
and ho never was much on luxuries. ' "
"What If It does ? " said Sam. "Ho can
afford It , can't he ? Now , I tell you what
I'd do If I were In this thing. I'd cet the
people started. The people want Holcornb
or they will want him , and It's about time
they wcro heard from. You go over and
get up a rousing citizens' meeting in John-
eonvlllo and let him hoar from U. That's
what I'd do. "
The politicians set off Immediately nn <
the citizens' meeting was brought off th <
first night the village band had an oper
date. There was a crowd brought out Irene
ono way and another and a delegation o
leaders was chosen to present the call of tin
people. The Herald announced the nexi
morning that , In the light of such a demon '
stration from the heart of the people , then
.
could bo no doubt that any hesitancy whlcl
Mr. Holcomb might have felt about acceptIng -
Ing the nomination would bo overcome niu
quoted Latin to prove it. No man couli
afford to disregard such a call.
But the Johnsonville men were Btlll It
doubt about their man. Ho was of a Scotch-
Irish brand , which dislikes to bo driven.
"Send him over to consult with me , II
you want to , " said Wilson. "He's been
hero before. "
Finally they Induced Holcomb to drop m
and for a solemn period of three hour *
the glass door was closed , while the twc
men talked It over. Wlfaon began with
congratulations and continued with the all
of a man who sees 'resistance ' impossible ! ,
"When a man has the governorship throwr
at him like a bouquet , " ho trnld , "ho can'l
afford to refuse to pick It up. Personallj ?
I look at theao things as a disinterested
party , but It's mighty Important for you
not to make a false movehero. . "
"But , good Lord , Wilson , " said Holcomb
"Imagine mo trying to make a speech. "
"We don't want you aa nn orator ; w (
want you to work. You con say how-de-dc
and we'll get an oratorical lieutenant gov
ernor to do the talking. "
Holcomb went out In a state of submis
sion and In the morning the Herald oincUUj
announced that Mr. Holcomb would cer
tainly stand for the nomination for tin
governorship. "Ho Is the man for th <
place , " It said , "the people have demaudei
him. "
Such modern methods of political war
faTe were too much for the Culbereoi
coterie. They were overwhelra d In thi
beginning in dignified defeat. After hla firs it
rebuff "Gov" Culbereon could not be ln i- <
duced to have Wilson approached In an ;
way In his Interest.
"I refuse , nlr , " he said , when urged rp
pcutcdly , "to have any communication what
ever with that poltroon that dirty scrlb )
bier , sir. "
Hence It came about that his name wa
entirely Ignored In the campaign for th
nomination. And It
as was never one
hroupht before the n nn1 In auy extent thi
people naturally did not consider It , In splto
of tha many Insinuations ot hla personal
friend * that ho could bo persuaded to run.
U Is not a time when the people arlso un
assisted , and whatever popular tiprlsliin
there was favored Holcomb. He was a suc
cessful business man , an employer of many
people and on the whole a kind one and
ha had the powerful reputation of a "bot
tomless barrel" with the politicians.
The campaign for the nomination went on
with a rush. The northern end of the state
coon swung Into line for our man and the
metropolitan press there was full of ouch
phrases ns "a captain of Industry , " "man ot
energy and decided character , " "a power In
financial circles. " There were progressive
enthusiasm nml pride In our own section.
Very few of us now noticed the tall , gaunt
figure , who did not rejoice at our feast. For
a few days after ho realized that his case
was hopeless Governor CulberBon remained
at his home , partly because ho was physi
cally prostrated by the blow and partly be
cause ho thought the eyes of every ono would
bo on him In the streets In pity and scorn.
As a matter of fact , people did not think
of him at all , further than to understand In
a general way that ho was tick. When
ho did drlvo out again they noticed how
changed ho waa by his IHnces. Indeed , It
was Almost startling ; his face had lost Ita
color , there was a little quaver In his voice
and an uncertainty In his step , which had
never been there before. Hte clothes wore
i not so carefully tended to and there began
I to bo a suspicion of dlngiucss on his Im
I maculate shirt front.
People began to eeo that ho waa nn old
man. "You must take care of yourself ,
governor , " hln friends said ,
In the meantime the boom for Mtleu Hoi
comb still hurled along. The caucuses went
solidly for him all over the state ; a young
awycr from the north was to be made lieu
tenant governor. All records for harmony
were surpassed. The question now aroto as
: o who would present the name of our can
dldato before the htate convention. Hol
comb , who had warmed up to the game by
his time , was very much Interested In this.
He made up his mind ho must have "Gov"
Culborson , and with characteristic directness
ho went to him nnd asked for his services.
" .My dear sir , " replied the old gentleman ,
with dignity , "while I appreciate the dlu-
tlngulshcd honor you offer me , I fear I
shall IK- obliged to decline. I could not do
you Justice , air. "
O , thunder , " said Holcomb , "If I had only
half your gift of gab , I'd bo a happy man.
As It is , I lie awake nights thinking of how
many different kinds of fool I'm going to bo
when I'm governor. "
Culherson pleaded hard. "Mr. Holcomb , '
10 said , "I am not what I have been. I
am an old man , elr. I will tell you con
fldcntlally , sir , that ray sleep Is very broken
and my appetlto has been leaving me lately.
! am not very strong , I fear , sir. "
But Holcomb Insisted and finally tbo old
man yielded to him.
I could not refuse with honor , " he said
: o his friends.
The choice of ex-Lleutonant Governor Cull -
l > creon to present the name of our candi
date at the state convention , " Bald the Her
ald , "Is n happy one. There Is uow no
other figure in our section ot the state
or Indeed In the commonwealth that com
mands greater respect than our honored
and esteemed felfow-cltb.eu. "
At last the day before the convention
came and wo sent up a special train with
our candidate. In the prospective governor's
car , back toward the rear , sat old "Gov"
Culberson , a etrange , erect , Impassive
figure , amid the clouds of tobacco smoke.
That evening he went tor a short tlrno with
the ccst , through the corridors of the hotel ,
where the committee headquarters wore ,
and watched , as he had many times before ,
the cplrlt of Americanism' worshipped with
the Incense ot clears and mixed drinks.
He did not know many "people there now ,
however , and ho went to bed early for his
effort of the morrow.
The convention ot that year was a quiet
and harmonious one , without any marked
features , and It Is perhaps for that reason
that I , with many others , had Indelibly
fixed In my mind the fine old figure of ex-
Governor Culbcrson as ho made his little
epcech of nomination. There were some
llttlo things to iregret about the affair
those llttlo things In great occurrence * ! which
are so painful and the old man winced
when the chairman referred to his former
distinguished service as governor of the
slate. But ho had himself well In hand
for the occasion and was more a governor
In appcaranco than any mau on the plat
form. His broadcloth was perfect , his linen
Immaculate and his carriage dignified and
proud. He went up to the crisis ot bis llfo
llko a Culberson and a man.
There was some surprise at the start on
the part of the northern delegates , but It
changed Into admiration as the old politician
made his simple speech. He confined hlm-
nelf to a plain , sincere eulogy of the party
and the ability of the candidate to serve U.
"I am an old man , Mr. Chairman , " ho
said. "I have a feeling , Indeed , I may say
an assurance , sir , that I shall not bo present
,
at another gubernatorial convention. As an
| Individual , sir , I have not been eminent in
our party , but I stand , sir , today as the rep
resentative of a generation ot men , now
nearly passed away , whoso service has been
, honorable and distinguished , nnd In behall
of them -wish to hand over the welfare ol
our great party to your hands. It Is a party
with a great past ; I need not rehearse to
1 you how great. .May . Its future be as notable
and as strong.
t "It Is , perhaps , fitting for me , as a mau
who Is about to leave the Btago forever , to
'
Introduce to you the man who Is about to
occupy Its center. I am about to bring
before you , gentlemen , a man of great vigor
7 and ability and conscience the man who
la the unanimous choice of our section of
,
l the state as your candidate. I need not
' say more. Ho Is , I .venture to predict ,
your favorite us well as ours and ho does
| not need my Introduction. The time has
now como , Mr. Chairman and gentlemen
of the convention , for mo to bring to a
close my llttlo speech the last I shall make
at a political gathering. It is said that It
Is the great fault of old men that they
do not know how to get through , but old
j men learn their lessons aa well as young.
I And In closing I wish to propose to you ,
r , gentlemen , an old-fashioned sentiment from
- ' the bottom of my heart : 'Tho dear old
j party , God bless It , and Miles Holcomb , who
1 will be Its candidate and tbo next governor
! of the state. ' "
The flno old figure stood erect for a few
seconds , while the cheering arose and died
away , then sank back Into a chair.
"That , " said a gray-haired delegate next
to mo , "Is the stuff wo used to make gov
ernors of. "
The exercises were pushed forward at a
speed which Is only obtained when every
thing Is cut and dried. It Was but a short
time before the nominating was over and
Miles Holcomb made hla speech ot accept
ance. It was a short speech , evidently
ready made , and delivered with the schol-
boy gestures ot a man unaccustomed to
larking. Yet the resolute face and bearing
ot the candidate for governor showed to the
discerning eye , even under thcso disad
vantages , that he was capable of filling the
position with credit.
Then the minor business of the conven-
itlon waa rushed off , the band played fran-
y tlcally and the big body broke' Into the con
fusion of leaving , the platform wns
crowded with prominent men exchanging
- greetings or charging toward the candidate
In the center of the stage.
Men do not do theao things right , as
women do. Old "Governor" Culbereon stood
10 , up slowly fem hl chair at the edge of tha
e I platform No ono paid the slightest atten-
] tlnn tn him thav warn haded toward the
group at the center of the stflgc. The oU
man looked uncertainly nt the crowd , then
turned slowly away and started down the
platform ateps , A little dldrlct telegraph
boy , who was at the precis tables below ,
helped him on with hla coat and watched
him with nwo , as he plodded slowly to the
door. Ho went straight to the station and
took the first train back to his empty home.
I saw him on the train. He was crouched
down In the corner of the sent. His hat
was drawn down over his eyes , his stock
won somewhat awry and his f-ltlrt front
was disarranged and rumpled. Ho was
staring steadily at the back of the sent be
fore him. It was the sort of thing a man
docs not enjoy watching.

Traced to u Peculiar Situation.
The Clark & Grubor coin which was
tolen from one of the muccumft In the cap-
tel building at Denver two months ago
and for the theft of which J. Baugh was
rled and acquitted In the criminal court
was a relic of high Intrinsic value to the
tate , as only a few ot the coins are In ex-
stenco today.
Soon after the discovery of gold In Colorado
rado , Clark , Grubcr & Co. of Leavenworth
established a banking house In Denver and
did n largo business In gold dust , which
was shipped to the parent house In Leaven-
worth. Later on It occurred to Mr. Grubcr ,
the junior member of the firm and uow a
resident of Crlppte Creek , that If the coin
could bo made in Denver expense of trans
portation could bo saved , as the sold coins
could be paid out In exchange for the duster
or bullion Instead ot sending the dust by
express to Leaven worth and having the
coined money sent back to Denver.
Attorneys In Denver were consulted nnd
whllu all srcmcd to bellova that to coin
United States money was against the law
no statute bearing on the subject could he
found. To settle the question Mr. Grubcr
went to Leavonworth and acquainted hU
partners with the proposition and the result
of his Investigations. They were Incredu
lous , as It seemed Impossible that a govern
ment llko that of the United States should
exist without n law for the prevention of
the counterfeiting of Its own coin. The
matter was submitted to the attorney ot
the firm , an eminent rnwyer In St. Louis ,
who , after .1 careful examination of the
statutes passed by congress since the foun
dation of the government , decided that there
was no law In the United States against
the coining of money by Individuals. Ma
chinery was therefore purchased and the
coining commenced.
Clark & Grubcr coined the first money In
Denver In ISfiO , In the building now occu
pied by the United States branch mint ut
Sixteenth and Market streets. The building
was built and owned by them until Uncle
Sam bought It In 1888. The State Historical
society has half a dozen of the Clark & Gru
bcr coins of the denomination ot $2.30 , $5
and $10.
The one that was stolen belonged to the
war relic museum. It was a $3 gold piece.
On one side of it Is the American vaglo with
the wards "Pike's Peak Gold , Denver , "
printed in circular form around the edge ,
with the letters DD below the eagle.
On the reveres side Is the head of the
woman , the same aa contained on all Amer
ican coin , around which are thirteen stars
nnd the words "Clatk , Grubw & Co. " The
date Is 1860.
In 1862 Mr. Gruber had some business In
Washington and while there was Introduced
to Salmon P. Chase of Ohio , then secretary
of the treasury , and the father of the green
back , as the man who was coining United
States coin In Denver.
'Do you mean to say that you are Imi
tating United States coin ? " M > r. Chase
asked.
Mr. Gruber acknowledged that ho was nnd
in response to an luqulrv pulled some $20
gold pieces from his pocket. Mr. Chase ex
amined them carefully and replacing one
with a greenback cautioned Mr. Gruber that
It was probable he waa violating the law ,
but that the matter would be submitted to
the attorney general for his decision. The
legal department of the government made
the most exhaustive Investigation of the
uubject , but found no law covering It. The
result was that an act of congress was
passed at the next session authorizing the
purchase of the plant from Clark , Gruber
& Co. and the establishment of a branch
