Senator Lodge and
Grosveiior of Ohio
A man who Is pointed out a score of
times a day to visitors in the senate press
gallery at Washington Is Henry Cabot
Ledge uf Massachusetts. He Is ono of the
most Interesting figures in congress and
ono of the few whoso personal appearance
does not belle description. Massachusetts
4 Is represented In the senate with greater
distinction perhaps than any other state.
Iloth its senators are men whoso reputa
tion is not confined to politics and whose
names stand fur something besides promInence
Inenco In legislation.
Doth Hoar and Ledge are men of affairs
of scholastic attainment , of family and of
varied Interests. Either would have a na
_ tlonul reputation , even th ugh he did ii > t
hold a seat In the senate. There uro few
senators of whom this can be sal.l and
fewer states of which it can be said of both
senators. They lepresont the old and tlu
new. One approached the end of his ca
reer eiowned with honor and icspcct , tin
other , though he has boon a go d mam
yiars In congress , may bo said to be upo

Mr. Lrdgo has been called a scholar in
p.-ll'tics. ' That is an easy phrase that is
usually applied without overmuch dNcrim
Inatlon. It Is true that he Is a scholar and
that ho Is in politics ; but ho dosi'ii't con
fcund the two. In the popular fan -y th' '
scholar in polities Is a visionary prrs n
with high Ideals which are usually qui i
Impractical when it conies to carrying them
Into effect. Lodge is practical. He has his
Ideals , as every man In public life < light t
have ; but lie appreciates the limit.lions rf
human nature ami knows Instinctively
when ithose Ideals are Immediately capable
i f realization and when they are not. II
understands the political wisdom tf biding
bis time and making use i f instruments at
ills hand for the accomplishment of that
which he knows can be done.
His name lias been known nationally for
nearly a quarter < f a century and yet he
is a young man. He conies frcm a long-
lived race and some of his ancestors acted
Important parts In the early history of
the republic ( his grandfather , George Cabot
bet , was the first secretary rf the navy )
and there Is no reason why he should not
hold a place in public life .for at least a
quarter of a century more. Physically and
Intellectually he is a tli rouglibrcd. Straight
as an arrow , trim In figure , graceful In
bearing , Ills outward presence attracts the
eye and is quite in keeping with his habit of
mind. His brain Is muscular , like his body ,
and is as finely trained. His mind works
with the certainty of a machine.
Ledge is a born fighter. If ho had conic
from another walk of llfo and had entered
the pri/e ring ho would have been the cham-
" pion. In whatever circumstances ho might
have been placed he would have risen above
the surface. lie knows what It Is to be
beaten , but he docs not know what it is lu
stay beat. A blow aimed at him is always
the prelude to another blow aimed In return.
Everything he has won in public life , in
literature , or in any way , lias been won at
the expense of hard knocks which have
helped to strengthen his power of endur
ance.
There Is nothing of the mugwump in his
make-up. Ho Is a genuine partisan. He
understands motives and how to play upon
' them. Ho knows how to stand by his friends
- and his friends know how to stand by him ,
Ho Is not afraid of making enemies be has
I- plenty of them and they are not long left in
the dark as to what kind of treatment they
tl will get from him.

In some other region may be an Interesting
conjecture ; but It Is hardly worth while. II

of his surroundings. Ho Is peculiarly

Grosvenor is younger than ho looks. Ho
Is some years on the sunny side of CO , but
his appearance is that of a man older than
this. Ho is a pudgy little fellow with white
hair and white beard and a pair of shaggy
eyebrows beneath which gleam a pair of
very bright eyes. Everybody tells him that
ho looks like Santa Claus , and ho doesn't
seem to mind the comparison.
His propensity for scrapping has not been
confined to his career in congress. He
served all through the war In an Ohio regi
ment from 18C1 to 1SG5 and was promoted
from major to colonel , retiring with a brevet
of brigadier general of volunteers. In the
battle of Nashville ho commanded a brigade.
SInce the war ho has never ceased to take
cp the cudgels for his old comrades in
arms. There has never been a pension bill
that bo did not vote for and ho always hits
out from the shoulder when veterans arc
under attack. Ho la n stalwart of the stal
warts. In politics ho believes that to the
victors belong the spoils , mid If he could
have his way not n democrat would bo left
In olllco when republicans nro In power.
He Is ready to take his own medicine when
he happens to bo In the minority. On every
fundamental question dividing political par
ties lie taken an extreme view. Half-way
measures nro never adopted with hta con
sent.

timates from time
to time of the number of delegates McKlnloy
had secured. Ho had up authorita
tive statistics , but ho took the
most favorable figures lie could find In the
newspapers , added a few McKlnley dele
gates here and there to suit his taste and
once a week would issue a bulletin which
kept the McKlnley column continually on
the jump. Pretty soon people began to take
Grosvenor's figures seriously. Ho chuckled
to himself and kept it up. When the con
vention finally mot there was a landslide
and Grosvenor found himself more than
justified. SInce that time ho hns enjoyed
a reputation as a great statistician , although
ho really cares very little about political
mathematics. IIo has a rich sense i f humor ,
though , that helps him to carry Ills repu
tation with a great deal of tranquillity.
He Is one of the most picturesque fig
ures In the liuuso and ho will continue to
be so long as he remains in congress.
