Mr. Bole's greatest ladles' paper the
world has ever seen. 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.

Can buy it for ten cents a glass and

Of course I'm spending money at a

For William, is my brother and I want
to celebrate.
But still I hate to pay the way these
hotel people charge
When we can drink for half the price
from glasses twice as large.
When Brother Bill's elected I suppose
that I shall go
To Europe or to England as ambassa

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.

I'm William's Brother Abner and I'm

Mr. Piatt and Mr. Manley were not

St Louis. When Mr. Hanna climbed

Gen. James S. Clarkson, was one. of

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.

The memory has not passed out how-
ever. Since his incumbency at Wash
ington allusions and references have
shown themsleves, and indeed some
four or five years ago che senator took
occasion to make a speech in the sen
ate In relation to his past life, "hot
critlsm being Just then severly
waged upon him. The reasoning now Is
that Senator Quay has come to St
Louis backed by his friends for the

Matthew Stanley Quay they will speak
of the man who combated with the
prophet of his party for the presiden
