Mr. Harrison remained quietly In Indianapolis, but another politician of national fame, a man less substantial than Harrison, but more scintillating, was Induced to become a special newspaper corres pondent for the time being and the "statesman out of a job" has sent out erne stuff that made the wires warm. Mr. iBgalls has passed the -week In close juxapostion to Matthew Stack-'em-up Quay and Thomas Corrall-'em Piatt and even with the example of Marcus Amrellus Hanna before him it Is 'possible that the ex-senator from Kansas still adheres to his celebrated declaration that "purity In politics Is an iridescent dream." . But Mr. Ingalls was not the only great man who helped make the wait ing public acquainted with the details of the work in St. Louis. Mr. Rose water telegraphed his paper that he had attended Ave national republican conventions and that some of the speeches delivered In the convention were good enough to borrow from.

Call; while William E. Annln described the big event in the State Journal la much the same mazier that Richard Harding Davis described the coronation of the czar of all the Rus sians, and It will be remembered that for a time there .was considerable doubt in the minds of the people of this country whether It was Mr. Davhi or the czar who was being crowned. Mr. Annln Is aa entertain ing writer, but his perspective gets eat of whack sometimes. Mr. W. J. Bryan was In St Louis getting points en how a candidate for president nominated.

One day he devoted himself to Abner MeKmJey, Major McKinleys brother. Speaking of Quay, most people out aad wrote some verses, of which the Jside of Pennsylvania know very little following la a sample: about an Interesting period of the ,' ' I'm kind of proud of Brother Blll;you know Its mighty fine To be kiln to a brother who's as great a man as mine.

When Brother Bill's elected I suppose that I shall go To Europe or to England as ambassa dor, you know; I'm very fond of travelling and that is why I came Out here to see that things were done correct, in William's name.

Never mind the treat is mine; I'm William's Brother Abner and I'm feeling pretty fine. Mr. Piatt and Mr. Manley were not the only old time republican leaders whose star suffered a partial eclipse in St Louis. When Mr. Hanna climbed up on the stage he brought a lot of comparative youngsters with hlm, and It was only natural that some of the old-timers who continued to stem the rising tide of McKinleylsm should be swept away in the Influx of "original McKlnely men." A neighbor of ours. Gen. James S. Clarkson, was one. of thu&e who was forced to abdicate. Clarkson was the political boss of Towa for twenty years. He was always rather addicted to the habit of talking with his mouth, but he was a good or- ganlzer, too, and -Rher" was a con siderable factor in national politics. Of late years he has resided in New York, and It was with difficulty that he retained his place as tne Iowa mem ber of the national committee.

The reasoning now Is that Senator Quay has come to St Louis backed by his friends for the g,purpo!evof making history of such sort that" when people In future speak of Matthew Stanley Quay they will speak of the man who combated with the prophet of his party for the presiden tial nomination, the man of whom the torlc words of praise.
