THE Bancroft of another century when he writes the history of the present administration can only complete his task by writing the biography of (J rover Cleveland. With him the administration be- gins, has its fulness and passes to its end. No Pres- ident of this United States was ever so much the master of his situation. He has lived out Dr. Holmes' exquisite motto of the Autocrat,—" Every man his own Boswell,"— in a larger, different sphere. Mr. Cleveland's course in the White House seems to say to those who may come, after him: "Let every President be his own cabinet, his own congress, his own judiciary." Republican organs have dubbed his cabinet min- isters "clerks." The same authorities aver that no President lias bv the wanton and almost daily use of the veto power 'so defiantly challenged criticism as a usurper of the rights and duties of Congress. They, too, have boldly said that Mr. Cleveland's ap- pointments to the fed- eral judiciary, have no parallel in all the annals of favoritism pure and simple. So by the verdict of those who turn t h e strongest light u p o n him. it may seem to the historian yet unborn that ({rover Cleveland, a It hough elected by Democrats, was the prince of Autocrats. Yet, if the abundant sources of historical coin- position survive— if the New York Sun, World, and Times, the Sleepy- Eye Wide Awake, Osh- I; o s h Out-with-it, o r Walla Walla W a-W a are legible to eyes that shall look upon this fair land of ours a hundred years from now, it will bo easily possible to place Grover Cleveland before a later posterity as a very honest and worthy man— to show that this man whose. moral courage is a d- mired by his worst enemies, was not only honest and conscientious, but clearsighted, and that his methods were far wiser and saner tlfan they now seem to his best friends. Believ- ing, rightly or wrongly, that the politician truly rep- resents nobody but himself, he has not hesitated to ignore him as an individual or a congressional major- ity, boldly appealing from the interested judgment of the inferior court to the true Caesar of America, the common people. Virginia, the mother of Presidents, barely missed the honor of calling him her offspring; New Jersey welcomed him to the light; New York adopted him; Connecticut was the fond parent of his worthy father ; Massachusetts names more than one of her eminent citizens among his ancestors; Benjamin Franklin was the friend of his grandfather's grandsire; his kinspeople have born an honored name in almost every State. As all roads lead to Rome, all places seem to have had their web and warp of influence upon the life or fate of the President. His daily life is as simple as that of the most ordi- nary American. He likes beafsteak. He can tell good stories. His wit is bright and opportune. He works in his shirt sleeves. A good horse and all his points, or a fine plentiful cow, quickly draws his praise. In the domestic affairs of his station he is thoughtful to a minute, degree and his attentions to the ladies of his household are those of a man whose politeness is of the tissue and not put on and off with his coat. The White House doors have never been locked since Mr. Cleveland entered the old mansion. More than would seem endurable, he has been accessible to those who desired to see him. To be sure, his home is everybody's, for the executive office and the President's private residence are under the same attic. But he has endeavored to kill go-betweens and listen himself to all who had a prayer to present, a request to ask-, advice to give, or a threat to in- timate. His manner in the presence of visi- tors encourages by its simplicity and evidence of good sense. Business interviews are held in the Library, an ellipti- cal room on the second lloor of the Executive .Mansion. Each caller lilkes a seat in turn about the room. The I 'resident standing greets the first who sits near him and then pass- es informally on around the oval, talking freely, joking, laughing, mak- ing everyone at home and free to make him- self understood. The routine of the President's average day in Washington would be dull enough to any one of his sixty millions of constituents. He break- fast s early— prematurely for the average denizen of Washington, at the unholy hour' of 7 . A short walk, the morning pa- per, the drive into town, and the day's work at 9 o'clock has begun at the old oak desk in the Library. How does the President work ? By intellectual avoir- dupois. His method is exactly that of his first an- cestor in this country who was a carpenter and made a livelihood by pounding. Mr. Cleveland takes up one detail after another, arranges facts, applies princi- ples, and accomplishes results. He reads much, if not all, of his correspondence, he plods through the long billsthat Congress passes; in short, his friends say he takes too much in his own bauds and would be a better President if he left more of his work to others. In person the President is a man of congested stat- ure, weighing about two hundred pounds. His figure suggests the New England stock that bred large fam- ilies, fought hard with the obdurate soil for their daily porridge, and now and then sent a boy to college to show that the line had brains as well as backs and thighs. The President's face is not exactly Emerson describes as " sweet as porcelain." If is bil- lowy with flesh and rough-skinned. The eye is a kindly gray. Recent photographs show the softening effect of the cares of state. OUK STATESMEN The "Premier." ••i i.t me tend thai side door," said a Democratic •^ politician recentlj as be came out of Col.

This has been the Feeling oi more than one man as he slid gent ly out of the White Bouse looking backward. It is Lamont who watches "that side d ." and the door leads through the Cabinet room to the President's desk. Sitting negligently in (ho ante-n nearly all day, a target for all sorts of requests, the Colonel is a man to study. Ho was I*' i n in Cortland County, \ . w York, o f s c o i c )i parents who lion- :i French name. His youth was that of the average New York village boy.

Colonel Lamont is a light weight physically— short but well Unit and muscular. He dresses plainly in simple suits and is fond of little bob-tail jackets. Ills eye is the best thing about his face— a gray, steady, judicious optic, that always takes and never gives. His mouth is firm but bid by a precipitous auburn mustache. The shape »t bis head gives and e ha- sizes the idea that its owner is a sharp, squirrel-like fellow, verj sprj in his mental processes, and mortally incisive in the handling of each particular business nut. Few politicians love him; jnan\ tear him. The Cabinet. Traditions i ross and confuse about the Bayards of Delaware. One makes them Huguenots, fugitive from France to escape St. Bartholomew's.

Endicott is a native of Salem, Mass., where he still resides, and is now about 59 years old. Ho graduated from Harvard college in 1847, and en- tered upon the practice of law in 1850. Gov. Wash- burn appointed him to a place on the Supreme bench of Massachusetts, which po- sition he resigned in 1882 on account of ill health. Until 1860 Judge Endicott was an old-line Whig, but from that time forward was a Democrat. He never was prominent in politics until the last Presidential cam- Baign, when he was the •emocratic candidate for governor of the Bay State. As a lawyer he is said to be thorough, pains-taking, ^^u/ZWrW'"'Wm > " s - and dignified. He stood Wn >. 0. endicott. high in the ranks of the judiciary while a member of the Supreme bench. He is a descendant of John En- dicott, one of the first colonial governors of Massa- chusetts. His mother was a daughter of the Hon. Jacob Crowinshield, who served a term in Congress, and was President Jefferson's secretary of the navv from 1805 to 1809. William Collins Whitney is a son of the Old Bay .State, born in 184 0. At Yale he became a boon friend of Oliver Payne, of Ohio, which led to Mr. Whitney's marriage with the only daughter of Senator Payne then and still one of the richest men in the Buckeye State, while father and son together are prob- ably the richest two general inns between the Alleghenies and the Rockies. On his merits Secre- tary Whitney made a place for himself as a lawyer in New York. He took to politics as a duck to water. At the downfall of Tweed he was appointed Cor- poration Counsel for New York and made a reputation for him- self. He was a trusted lieuten- ant of S. J. Tilden and it was his mind that conceived the organ- Wm. c. wniTNEY. ization of the County Democ- racy. His efforts were half the battle for Mr. Cleve- land's nomination in 1884, and when the cabinet of the new administration came to he made up nothing was more natural than to invite Mr. Whitney into it. His administration has been beset with great difficul- ties but it has accomplished a firm and safe begin- ning of a new navy. The Whitneys have borne the social onus of this administration and with their princely hospitality won deserved popularity. Don Dickinson is Mr. Cleveland's youngest cabinet adviser. He is a man noted for his discernment, dis- cretion and energy. He was born at Auburn, N. -^ags^. Y., in 1842 and is ac- cordingly two years young- er than Secretary Whitney. His father, Asa Dickinson, was a distant relative of Daniel S. Dickinson, but belonged to the Massachu- setts Dickinsons. He went to Michigan when Don was a small boy and became one of the wheelhorses of the Democratic party there. The new Postmaster-Gen- eral was educated at the State University at Ann Arbor, graduating in 1866. Three years later he re- ceived his diploma from the law school and began to practice. At first he had a desk in his older brother's office. When the latter, already a rich man, went to New York to accept a retainer of $10,000 a D. M. DICKINSON. year from one of the largest dry goods firms there, he gave his business to Don. The firm is now Dickinson, Hosmer & Thurber, and the senior partner is said to have an income, all told, of fiver ¥4 0,000 a year. A large part of this comes from his collection bureau, which he runs independently of the firm. He hires two or three good lawyers aiid a big corps of clerks and pushes the business with an en- ergetic hand. He is famous for promptitude and never stops when he gets after a debtor until he col- lects his judgment and hands over the cash to his client. From Richard de Vilas, a Crusader, are descended the few members of the family in this country of whose number the distinguished Secretary of the In- terior is an honored and able representative. William Freeman Vilas *was born in f Vermont where his father, Judgo Vilas, was a member of 1 the legislature and a promin- ent citizen before his removal lUsk *_•* to Wisconsin, his home diu- ing the years of his greatest I jL, * activity and influence. Secre- fesi ' J, V JtS-i ' tary Vilas graduated from the University of Wisconsin in its callow days, a member of the class of '58. In 1860 he re- turned from Albany Law School to practice in Madison, Wis., his home. He went to the war and rose to the rank of Wm. f. vilas. Lieutenant Colonel. His law practice has been very large and his splendid administrative ability has gathered a considerable fortune into his possession, ne was president of the Chicago convention in 1884 and made the notification address to Gov. Cleveland soon after. He entered the Cleveland cabinet as Postmaster-General and when Mr. Lamar was named for the Supreme bench Col. Vilas was simultaneously nominated for Secretary of the Interior. Secretary Vilas is one of the great orators of the West. His speech at the Grant banquet in 1880 made him fam- ous. Augustus H. Garland was born in Tipton county, Tennessee, June 11, 1832. The following year his parents moved to Arkansas. He was educated at St. Mary's college in Kentucky. He begkn the practice of law at Washington, Ark., in 1853, but in 1856 moved to Little Rock, the capital of the Spate. He was a delegate to the State convention of 1861 which passed the or- dinance of secession, and in May of that year took a seat in the provisional congress that met at Montgomery, Ala. He was .^SWpV^^R^ afterward a member of I \^!?^*~^\\%*J D °th houses of the Confed- erate congress. He was elected to the 1 United a. H. garland. States Senate for a term beginning March 4, 1867, hut as his state had not yet been fully re-admitted into the Union he was not allowed to take his seat. He was elected governor of Arkansas in 1874, and again chosen United States senator in 1876, succeeding Powell Clayton, whoso term expired the following March, and was re-elected in 188 3. He is said to be a natural lawyer, though Siot a brilliant one, and to possess a vigorous, evenly balanced, conservative mind. He is of the rugged Southwestern type, and his selection for a cabinet place was most acceptable to the Southern wing of his party. His manner of speaking is direct to the subject in hand. Ho is a good story-teller and fond of a joke. He is smooth-faced like Senator Bayard, broad-shoul- dered and deep-chested, and was one of the best speak ers in the Senate. He cares little for politics, his only ambition being success in his profession. nil: STATESMEN l hi oommon noti i a part] majority in the 1 1 < >n~<- of Representatives is ;i good deal tilled and assisted bj some knowledge of the geographical distribution ol bhe districts comprising thai majority.

Ohio and California have each a Senator on both sides of the Senate chamber. Both States are in (lie Republican column and their having Democratic Sen- ators is one of the incidents in the ebb and flow of political feeling and action in those States. To a foreigner the circumstance is inexplicable. New Jersey and Indiana present a peculiar incon- gruity to anyone not acquainted with the course of politics in those States. Their delegations in the House have Republican majorities but their Senators are Democratic. The fact that a Senatorial term ex- tends over six years while Congressmen are chosen every other year is something calculated to produce results decidedly puzzling not only to observers across the Atlantic but to political readers and students h»re at home. A map showing the last vote for president would differ from this to some extent.. In the first place there would be no vote in the Territories. There would still be "a Solid South, to which would be added Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Indiana. The rest of the country would remain a solid Repub- lican white. OUR STATESMEN.

T N THE FOLLOWING pages may be found the most important particulars of information about the Fiftieth Congress,— the counties and cities com- prising each congressional district, the election retains of the last congressional (1887) campaign, with bi- ographies of Senators and Members (not written by themselves) and portraits made from the best avail- able photographs. The various State delegations, Senators and Members appearing together, are ar- ranged alphabetically. At the close of each biographi- cal sketch are placed in a single line the address of each Senator and Member in his State and also in Washington. Following these addresses also appear the various committee assignments of Senators and Members. In the election returns at the beginning of each biographical sketch the politics of different can- didates are given as indicated by the letter D. for Democrats, R. for Republicans, L. for Labor Party candidates, Pro. for Prohibitionists, and Fus. for Fus- ionists. It is needless, but a pleasure, to add that the statistical information contained in these pages is taken by permission from the Official Directory of Congress, never better compiled and arranged than now, under the editorship of Major Michael. ALABAMA. THE SENATORS. John T. Mor- gan, who is the senior Senator from Alabama, is a tall, nno- loo King m a n, noted for tho frequency of his speeches, to say nothing of some reputation o n the score o f length. Sena- tor Morgan Is a native of Ten- nessee, 04 years old. H o re ceived his edu- cation in Ala- bama, was ad- JOHN T. MORGAN, mitted to the bar In 1845 and has been a hard-working lawyer all his life. He was a presidential elector In I860 on the Breckinridge and Lane ticket. Ho sat, in Ihe Montgomery Convention when Ala- bama was taken out of the Union. The who of the first gun at Sumter had hardly died away before he enlisted as a private in the Cahaba Rifles. Before the war closed he became a Brigadier. Senator Morgan Is a scholastic sort of a man, quiet in manners, and exceedingly tena- cious In debate. Selma, Ala. ; 113 First street, n. e.

James L. Pu.gh, the Junior Sena- tor, is a na- tive of Geor- gia. He was in Congress 30 years ago and was among those who withdrew from the Thir- ty-sixth Con- gress as the w a r began. Like his col- league he en- V listed as a pri- >vate, but made no do- i.ded mark as a mil i t a r y man. He served throughout the war in the Confederate Congress, and resumed his law practloo as soon as hostilities leased. Senator Pugh is a hard-working man, who never fails to keep an ei ment. and very rarely misses a committee meeting. JAMES L. PUGH. Eufaula, Ala. ; 1333 R street, n. w.

It Illustrates the quick recovery which the average Southerner enjoyed from the political reverses of the war, to note that Gen. Oates was a delegate to the Democratic National Coi.\ention in 1868, which nominated Horatio Seymour for the Presidency. In 1872 he was the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ala., but failing was at once elected to Congress, from the district now repre- sented by Mr. Herbert. This is his fourth Congress.

Anybody with half an eye can soo there is fire in John Henry Eogers' two eyes. He Is one of the keenest men on h I s side of the House. What he says comes forth i n a sonorous square tone, and the substance of it is log- ical, clean-cut and X compact. H e uses ' Anglo-Saxon words J. H. ROGERS. In preference to Lat- in and Greek derivatives, and can slico oil' line delicate arguments with tho best of them. He is among tho youngest, foremost men in the House. Ho has a light moustache, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Mr. Rogers was born in Bertie County, North Carolina, in 1845.

No opposition. Mr. Peel was prac- tically ohairman of the Indian Committee In the Forty-ninth Congress, owing t o Jndgo Welborn's in- disposition. Since ho became a o t u a 1 chairman in this Congress, Peel has .loomed up as an able man in his own right. He handles the man- ifold questions o f Indian legislation s. W. PEEL. and the necessary appropriations judiciously and to tho satisfaction of all- concerned. He is an Arkansan by birth, 56 years old. He was Clerk of the Circuit Court of Carrol County, Arkansas, when the war came. Ho entered tho Confederate service as a private, and was elected Major of the Third Arkansas Infantry. He re-entered the Confederate service in 1862 as a pri- vaie. and was elected Colonel of tho Fourth Arkansas Infantry. At the close of the war he commenced the practice of law in the State Courts.

His Palo Alto stock farm is Hie most valuable on the globe. Ho rides about Washington in an $8000 carriage bo- hind a $3000 pair of bays and his wife's jowols are worth a round million. Four sets of her diamonds once gleamed on the fat bosom of Queen Isabella of Spain, and they represent $600,000 purchase money. Yet Stanford is a plain unos- tentatious gentleman, as approachable as a country parson and quite as kind- hearted and benevolent. Ho has given $15,000,000 to found the groat universily of the Pacific Coast and is giving his time and personal attention to its building. In person Senator Stanford Is a large brainy man, rather old-fashioned and staid in his ways. There is no better in- formed man in the Senate on practical and large questions of business. He is distinctively a generalizer of wido-spread facts and conditions, and consequently his foresight is a long way ahead of the or- dinary movements of trade or politics. He was born in Albany County, Now York, in 1824. He entered the law of- fice of Wheaton, Doolittle & Hadley, at Albany, in 1846, and after throo years' study was admitted to practico law in the Supreme Court of (ho State of New lork. Ho, then removed to Port Wash ington, in the northern part of the Stale of Wisconsin, where ho was engaged in the practice of his profession for four years. A fire in the spring of 1852 de- stroying his law library and othor proper- ty, he went to California, where he be- came associated in business with his brothers, three of whom had preceded him to the Pacific Coast. He was at first In business at Michigan Bluffs, and in 1856 removed to San Francisco to en- gage in mercantile pursuits on a laree scale. Senator Stanfoi-d was a Delegate to the National Republican Convention at Chica- go in i860; and was elooled Governor of i alifornia, and served from December, 1861, to December, 1863.

M. BOWEN. during that time has lived in half a doz- en states. Ho was elected to the Iowa Legislature before ho was 21. and only secured his place by misrepresenting his age. He raised a regiment in Iowa at the outbreak of tho War, but was after- wards transferred to a Nebraska regi- ment, which he commanded during the War. In the Senate he has cut a very small figure. Ho appears to have lost his powers of application. His friends still consider him a very bright man, but confess that they cannot bring him to concentrate those brilliant faculties long enough upon one object to accomplish anything. He was President of the Ar- kansas Constitutional Convention, which convened under the reconstruction acts of Congress, and was a Justice of tho Su- preme Court of that State for four years, when he accepted the position of Gover- nor of Idaho Territory, tendered to him by l'residont Grant In (1871, but resigned and returned to Arkansas, where he was defeated for the Senate by Steve Dorsey In an open contest in the Legislature, the party caucus having failed to agree. In January, 1875. he remjved to Colorado, then a Territory, resumed the practice of law, and at the organization of the State government was made Judge of the Fourth Judicial District, for four years, after which he engaged In several large mining enterprises and remained in pri- vato life until the fall of 1882, when he was elected a Representative in the State Legislature: served in that body as chair- man of the Committee on Ways and Means until he resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate as a Republican, to succeed Horace A. W. Tabor (who had been elected to fill the unexpired term of H. M. Teller). His term expires March 3, 1889. He is 53 years old. Del Norte, Col. ; Riggs House.

TELLER. Capital city of Denver, and is a law- yer who long ago made his fame. Since his election to the Senate, other men have come to the front as the great law- yers of his State, and among them Mr. Teller's brother Witlai-d. who Is counted one of the ablest men in tho State. Henry Teller studied law in his native Empire State and was admitted to the bar' there. He went to Illinois in 1858 and three years later to Colorado, then an almost unknown land. Until elected to tho senate as Colorado's first Senator, he had never held office. As Secretary of the Interior in President Arthur's cab- inet, Mr. Teller demonstrated his pecu- liar fitness for high executive trusts. His present term is the one Prof. Hill, his predecessor, expected to enjoy. Hill's disappointment still disturbs his indi- gestion and being a very rich man he runs a newspaper to do his whining for him. Teller Is somewhat interested in mines and cattle but out in Colorado they call him poor. His term lasts until March 3, 1891. when ho will be nearly 61 years old. He is a Republican.

His name is spelt one way and pronounced another. To make a mistake in its pronunciation I n Judge Symes' (pronounced Sims) hearing is to forfeit at once and forever all claim to his rec- ognition. The Judge is a prime good fel- low, sound in every Republican doctrine and ready at a mo- ment's notice to battle valiantly for his own' or anybody else*s convictions. He lives In Denver, has large and valuable property interests there and attends to a largo law practice at Intervals from his duties In Washington. His life has been a genuine Iliad. Born In Ashtabula County, Ohio, in April, 1810, he received a common school education; studied law. enlisted as private in a Wisconsin regi- ment : was wounded in the first battle of Bull Run; was in the Sioux Indian cam- paign of 1S62 ; was in the Vicksburg campaign of 1803 and the Atlanta cam- paign of 1864. and was wounded In the battle of Atlanta July 22, 1864; was commissioned Colonel of the Forty- fourth Regimont of Wisconsin Vounteers in Au- gust. 1864 ; commanded the post at Pa- ducah, Kentucky, during the; summer of 1865, and was mustered out with his regiment at Madison. Wisconsin, about September 1, 1865: practiced law at Pa- ducah, Kentucky, from January 1, 1866, until appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Montana Territory in April. 1869. He resigned this Judgeship in 187(1, and resumed the practice of law :it Helena, Montana, until 1874. when he removed to Denver. He was elected to (he Forty-ninth Congress and was re- elected to the Fiftieth, notwithstanding his opponent was Rev. Myron Heed, a fleshy sort of clergyman, who combined good people and bad In his following. The inference from the result seems to be that in Colorado a majority of tho people are neither good nor bad but only so-so. Denver, Col..; 1501 Eighteenth St., n. w.

He was secretary of Connecticut, in 1857, a member of the State Senate in 1861 and '62 ; a member of the lower branch in 1864 and '69, and speaker of that body in the latter term. He suc- ceeded W.

Ho made *! .-jho by his first year's practice and gained steadily in income as the years passed. He In- vested his salary wisely and made money rapidly. A copper mine was found on a cheap little piece of land he had bought, and It made him rich. He has always been a shrewd buyer of lands. He owns tho half of Colorado City. Tex- as, a town of 7.000 inhabitants, and he did own the whole of it. Ho has stocks and mines in different parts of Georgia, aud he has made a great deal out of coal mines. To mention his business enter- prises would be to give a list of nearly all the pavMi.. ..in- in Georgia and Southeast Tennessee. He is head * if the Western and Atlanta railroad — the line from Chattanooga to Atlanta: tin- owner of a lino which transport- his own coal; the powerful stockholder of tho Dade Coal Company; the president of the Rising Fawn Furnace Company, with its great tracts of ore; president of the Chattanooga Iron Company and. in short. in so many other enterprises that his name crops op in every mention of iron. coal and railroad Interests in the three States. Old Joe has a large influence among the Baptists of the South and owns more coal mines than any man south of Ma- son & Dixon's line.

After Ap- pomattox, he advocated acquiescence in the reconstruction measures and became very unpopular on account of his recom- mendation that the peoplo cany them out in good faith. As the Democratic party opposed those measures, he voted for General Grant, who favored them. In the legislature of 1868 ho was nominated by the Republicans for United States Senator and defeated by Hon Joshua Hill, which was tho only defeat of his life.

But before that ho had been a member of the House from 1865 to 1871. He was twice sent to the State legislature before he came to Congre s s, and twice also after- ward. In 1876 he was elected Gov- ernor and in 1880 To him we owe the present effective law against polygamv hi [Tlah, for he agitated the matter in tho Houso in 186!) and came very near passing a bill through the Senate on the subject, his bill having passed the House.

Parwoll is a nanio full of suc- cess everywhere. One of the hon- ojed Senators from Maine was a Farwell. Tho man who dug the Erie canal was of tho same family. Tho pio- n e e r merchant b prince of Chica- \ go and the Great West, was John ^ V. Farwell. It is in the line of CHAS. B. FARWELL. the family predi- lections that Charles B. Farwell should be a most successful business man and a United States Senator. He was born in Painted Post, N. Y., and is 65 years old. He is essentially In all things a business man and his education was sought strictly with a view to a business life. He went to Illinois in 1838, and in real estate and banking made his large fortune. He has filled many Im- portant and responsible offices, and in 1870 was elected to Congress over Long John Wentworth. In 1876 the Houso de- cided to seat his opponent, J. V. Le Moyne. In 1880 ho was again elected to the House, and at the expiration oi the term declined a ro-election. When Gen. Logan died it seemed to be the most natural thing in tho world for Illi- nois to send Mr. Farwell to the Senate. Senator Farwell, his brother John V. and Col Abner Taylor, of Chicago, to- gether built the Texas Statehouse, at, Austin. The State of Texas gave to the Farwell Company 3.000.000 acres of land, as compensation for the building. The land Is worth $5 an acre and the State buildings did not cost more than $1,000,- 000. The land is all fenced in. Sev- enty-five thousand cattle are now on it, and more to follow. The Farwell Com- pany have their headquarters in London, and English capitalists own about one- quarter of the stock. It Is said the com- pany will make from $15,000,000 to $20,- 000,000 out of the speculation. Chioago, 111. ; 1233 Seventeenth St., n. w.

At that flmo the circulation of the pa- per was barely 3000 and of tills tho little boy Dunham could fold one-third in an hour. In Chicago he is a grain and pro- vision broker. In early life his ambition was to become a life insurance agent, but Inexorable fate had marked him for statesmanship. In 1882 he was presi- dent of the Chicago Board of Trade. This is his third whack at life in Con- gress, and it is in all human probablity his last, for Col. Abner Taylor, an old hand in politics, has secured tho Republi- can nomination in Dunham's district, which is equivalent to election. Chicago, 111. ; 1325 G street, n. w. Commerce. SECOND DISTRICT.

Lawlor, D., 7.369. Woodman. R., 3,976 Gleeson, Lab., 7,353. Mr. Frank Law- ler personifies in American public life the delicious Paddylsn* that " one man is as good as another and a d d sight belter." Mr. Law- lor Is not a LL.D. nor are there frills on his shirt bosom. He Is a publican and some say a sinner, but for all this he swings a jolly [good pace and no man gets what he wants sooner or easier out of the legislative grab-bag. Mr. Lawler was born at Rochester. New York. Jure 25, 1842. He attended a public school until thirteen years of age, when, owing to a serious accident, which befell his father, he was compelled to leave school and seek employment in a Dock- yard, where he continued to labor for two years. For three years he was a news ajent on railroads. He then learned tho trade of ship-builder, was elected president of the Ship-carpenter and Ship-caulkers' Association, and took an active part in organizing ti i,:e and labor unions. Ho became agent for the Worklngman's Advocate, a newspaper published In the interest of the toiling masses, and was appointed, upon the request of the trade and labor organizations to a position in the Chicago post-office, which he held from 1869 to 1877. In 1876 he was elected a member of the Chicago Cltv Council, and was re-elected in 1878. 1880, 1882 and 1884. He was eloctcd to the Forty-ninth Congress and was re- elected to the Fiftieth Congress. Mr. Lawler strews his dally path- way with geuulne Irish wit' which does much to win success. Few mem- bers know so thoroughly the Interests of their districts as he does those of his.

He had been prac- ticing law five years and was mak- ing slow and solid headway in his pro- fession, when the war broke out. Ho enlisted in the first part of the strug- gle, and when the scene at Appomat- tox took place, he was a brigadier, com- manding the Department of Western Texas, having received all the hard fighting possible, a number of severe wounds and a dozen successive pro- motions, as the war went on. For many years after the war, Gen. Post repre- sented his country in the diplomatic service — as consul to Vienna from 1866 until 1874, when he was promoted to Consul-General for Austria-Hungary, and in that position he remained until 1879, when he resigned.

Grey hairs are plenti- ful now in " Bill's" head, but anyone who thinks that the brains beneath them are less numerous and virile than of old. needs only to come face to face in a square issue with the lively 1111- noisan. Nobody has ever called him the " noblest Roman of them all," yet the Honorable " Bill" Is respected and admired by all who can appreciate nim- ble wits, smooth finesse and an uner- ring sense of which way the cat may jump. Mr. Springer was born in Sulli- van County, Indiana, is 52 years old, re- ceived a classical education at the In- diana State Universitv, has been a shrewd lawyer for nearly thirty years and lives in the home of Abraham Lincoln, the Capital City of Springfield. Mrs. Spring- er is an accomplished lady, who has written several novels. IVlr. Springer has amassed quite a fortune, has a pret- ty mansion facing on the Capitol Grounds, and the town of Springer, New Mexico. \v;is named after him. He trav- els a good deal and goes where he pleases except to Dakota. As brains first, and chairman afterwards, of tho House Com- mittee on Territories. Mr. Springer has produced a very unanimous opinion of himself in the minds of the people of Dakota. A prominent Dakotlan re- marked not long ago, " Our opinion of him can only be expressed by means of a rope and a telegraph pole." Mr. Springer has never been seen In public or private denuded of his freshly- plucked boutonnlere. It Is the common belief (hat he pins It on his night- gown Just before retiring.

Cannon, of the Danville D i s- t r 1 c t— " Hon- ost Old Joe" as everybody calls h i m. Circum- stances over which Jie had no control, and J. G. CANNON. for which h e makes no apology, selected Guilford, North Carolina, as his birthplace, but a more unmitigated Northern Republican never steered a caucus or made a speech. This is his fifteenth year in Congress, and the calendar has not, yot been fore- cast which oontalns tho date of his re- tirement. In appearance Mr. Cannon car- Icatures somewhat the accepted Idea of a country justice of the peace. He enjoys everything in life that comes along, from a fraternal swap of " fine-cut", to a ter- rific party row in the House. Mr. Can- non has boen known to dance not un- gracefully all night at a Grand Army Ball or a Knights of Labor Sociable and the next day in the House edify both sides of tho Chamber with arguments most eloquently expressed and convinc- ingly constructed. Ho Is one of the peo- ple's kind of men of that ploneor class rapidly disappearing, which Abraham Lin- coln so well represented. It Is not easy to believe that Joe Cannon Is 52 years old. Danville.

There are four members of the Fif tleth Congress who have been chief magistrates of their states. Gov. Gear is one of them. He is a typical Westerner. Ho was born on the shores of Lake Cavuga, g\New York, " and wandered all over the West before he took root in the great state whose First district he represents in Congress. In 1836 he was a smart boy at Galena, Illi- nois, then the chief entrepot of the Missis- sippi Valley. In 1838 he went to Fort Snelling, whei-e St. Paul and Minneapolis now form tho Metropolis of the New North- west. Gov. Gear could have bought the site of either of those cities then for $150. But he did not, and In 1843 went down the river to Burlington, his present home. In 1878 he was elected Governor of the largest prohibition state in the country. His election to the Fiftieth Congress was the defeat of Benton J. Hall, who received the commlsslonership of patents on retir- ing from the Forty-ninth Congress. Burlington. Iowa ; The Portland.

Buch- anan, Butler, Delaware, Dubuque, Frank- lin, Hardin, and Wright. Cong. Vote, 34.565. Henderson, R., 18,676. Chamberlain, D., 15,889. Gen. Henderson is a Scotchman, 48 years ojd,— thirty-nine of them spent in this country whilo ho was growing up on a farm and fighting for Ids country. Ho has been a revenue collec- tor and asslstajnt United States district' attorney. He is a: member of a largo Ian linn in Dubuque. When the House gets into a storm Gen. Hen- d. B derson's voice Is about ' SON. the only one that can be heard above the roar of the waves. As an onen-air ora- tor, he is easily tho best on his side of the chamber. Few would think to see Gen. Henderson striding about the House, that he depended on a cork leg to buoy him up. He lost a leg in 1863, under circumstances that served to make what was left of him a very thorough Republican. Grand Army men idolize Gen. Henderson. Dubuque, Iowa; Wormley's Hotel. Appropriations. FOURTH DISTRICT.

It is seldom a department clerk rises to the honors Mi-. Fuller has a( tallied! Twenty years ago he was a $1,000 clerk in the Indian office. He is a Pennsyl- vanian. by birth, schooled in Iowa colleges, and a steady-going coun- try lawyer when at home. Mr. Ful- ler Is not an ora- tor and is as taci- turn as a toad. It is when a tough legal question comes up in the judiciary com- mittee that he shows signs of life. West Union, Iowa; 1327 N street, n. w. Judiciary. FIFTH DISTRICT. Counties.— Benton, Cedar, Jones, Linn. Marshall, and Tama. Cong. Vote. 32,804. Kerr, R., 16,756. Frederick, D. , 16,048. There is no hay- seed in this mem- ber's hair, but there is every chance In the world for Its lodg- ment. His col- leagues are au- thority for the re- port that Mr. Kerr has had no use for a comb since be went into politics. Like so many dis- tinguished Ameri- cans, Mr. Kerr is a Scotchman, and his name (called Carr) is an old and dan i i:i. KERR, honored one In tho land of Burns. He FULLER. Grundy, came with hl6 parents to Madison County, Illinois, in 1841, when ho was five years old ; graduated at McKendreo College In 1858; read law with Governor Augustus C. French, and was admitted to the bar in 1862 ; entered the army as a private in 1862 ; was promoted to Second Lieutenant c oiii pany G, One hundred and seventeenth Illinois Volunteers, in 1863, and to First Lieutenant In 1864; was elected to the Legislature of Illinois in 1868 ; removed to Iowa in 1870 and elected to the Iowa Legislature in 1883.

There is no member of the House who has come to the brass fence around the speaker's chair in better shape of lafo than Weaver. When he entered Congress he had his name full of all sorts of cockle- burs and every- body put him down as a kicker from Kicksburg. J- B. WEAVER. He had the manners and language of a demagogue and was the apostle of Creen- baeklsm. In 1880 while he was a member of the Forty-sixth Congress, the National party In convention at Chicago nominated him for President. He got over 3 per cent, of the aggregate vote— over 10 per cent, in Iowa, and 9 per cent, in Kansas. As a campaigner Gen. Weaver is a de- cided success. He knows what to do to get on a level with his audience and swing himself and them into enthusiasm over his crochets. The trouble has been that he campaigned with crochets only. As an out and out Democrat he would be head and shoulders above any Western Democrat. Dayton, Ohio, 55 years ago, was his birth- place. He is a Northern brigadier, Is a lawyer, has dabbled In journalism wilh the Des Moines Tribune and was an office- holder six years in consequence of his ap- pointment as internal revenue collector by Andy Johnson.

Conger, R., 15,167. Carpenter, D., 14,231. Iowa Is a big Phil- adelphia— a State lacking In noise and bluster, but ter- ribly solid, steady- going and ponderous in the conquest of results. She has no metropolis. There is nothing within her borders particularly interesting— no moun- tains, no great riv- ers, no great monu- ment of human skill or labor. Iowa might drop out of the continent and our civiliza- tion would never feel an lota of loss. But there aro usually 6.000,000 hogs In Iowa— moro (han any Slato has. She raises 250.000.000 bushels of corn— the second biggest yield In this country. There are V v.. II.

Carlisle, D., 6.476. Thoebe, L., 5,651. Speaker Carlisle entered Congress in 1877, and in the quick flight of ten years has conic to be one of tho most fa- mous party leaders oi the times. Thrice elected Speaker, the last time without the slightest opposition he is praised by men of all parties for his fairness, his good sense, his readiness. He is eloquent in de- bate, convincing ami J. G. CARLISLE, liboral. Even as a loader of the tariff- reform party, he is not willing to be misunderstood as an extremist. In a speech in the House, when the vital question of free trade was in its earliest stages of discussion, Mr. Carlisle, said : " In tho broad and sweeping sense which tho use of the term implies. I am not a frco trader. Of course that is understood. At least, it should be. Iu my judgmei:t it will be years yet before anything in the nature of free trado will be wise or practical in the United States. When we speak of this subject we refer to approximate free trade, which has no idea of crippling the growth of home Indus, tries, but simply of scaling down the lni- quilies of the tariff schedule. After wo have calmly stood by and allowed monopolies to grow fat, we should not be asked to make them bloated." Like all his colleagues in the House and Senate with the exception of Senator Beck and Colonel Breckinridge. Mi'. Car- lisle was born in Kentucky. He is now fifty-two years old. He was loyal during the war, and opposed to secession. Ho held numerous State oflices, and was Lieu- tenant Governor of Kenlncky don. 1871 till 1875.

He /He I ero / ces studied for the ministry three' years and for the law four. In 1881, when he was thirty years old, he was admitted to the bar. He was elected to Congress in 1884, and soon made himself felt and heard in the debates. He has a voice that conquers space with tremendous power, and on all filibustering occasions it is Taulbee who is sent to r.be front by his party managers. His style of do- bate is marked by more persistence than discretion and he seldom comes out of a scrimmage with the eagles of victory screaming on his side of the question. Undoubtedly, Mr. Taulber male a mistake in abuuduning the ministry. Saylersville, Ky. ; 329 A street n. e. Claims ; Territories. ELEVENTH DISTRICT. Counties.— Adair, Barren, Casey, Green.

Appropriations. MASSACHUSETTS. THE SENATORS. The success- or of Charles Sumner in the Senate, is a plain old-fash- 1 n e d public servant, who has plodded hon- orably and use- fully through forty long yeai of service in of- fice. Hon. Henry Dawes was born as long ago as 1816, in Cum- mington, Mass. After leaving class of 1839. Vale with the HENRY L. DAWES, he taught school, then became a country editor with the Greenfield Gazette and the Adams Transcript, two venerable pro- vincial sheets. In 1842 Mr. Dawes was admitted to the bar and to this day he has a cipiisldi-rabli- country praclicr on which he depends. His first representative office was member of the Massachusetts legis- lature from 1848 to 1850. He was at- torney for Western Massachusetts until 1S57 when he was elected to Congress where he remained until 1873. As chair- man on the committee on Ways and Moans, Mr. Dawes shaped many tariff treasures, ffe was noted for economy, plain businss sense, and absolute integrity. In 1875 he entered the Senate and in 1881 and 1887 he was re-elected. As chairman of the Senate committee on In- dian Affairs Mr. Dawes has accomplished great good for the red man. To him is largely due tho passage of the Severally bill. It was by his efforts also that work was resumed on the Washington Monu- ment, and while in tho House in 1869, Mr. Dawes set in operation the present effici- ent system of weather intelligence. His daughter. Miss Anna assists her father in his public work, and has earned a place for herself as a journalist and author. Pittsfield, Mass. ; 1705 M street, n. w.

Midway In the second tier o i seats on the Republican side of the Senate Chamber sits usually a fine looking old man with a haze of snow-white silky hair about h 1 s full largo head, w I t h which a delicately pink forehead and smooth face af- ford a pleasing harmony. Brll- 1 i a n t glasses shine on his G-EORGE F. nOAR. nose In his hand ho constantly twirls and jingles a bunch of keys. This nice looking old party Is George Frlsble Hoar, who may, If he chooses, write four LL.D's after his name, William and Mary, Amherst, Yale and Harvard having each conferred this degree upon him. Judge Hoar was born in Concord, Mass., the birthplace of his father, who was a noted anti-slavery man, a very successful lawyer and a mem- ber of Congress. Judge Hoar graduated from Harvard In 1846 and later from Harvard Law School. Beginning prac- tice in Worcester In 1852, he was elected to the legislature. In I860 he came to Congress. In 1877 he declined a fifth re-nomination and was elected to the Senate to succeed Mr. Boutwell. Whllo In the House he was a manager in the Belknap trial and also sat with the Elec- toral Commission In the Inquest on Mr. Hayes' title to the Presidency. Nothing shoots Mr. Hoar onto his feet quicker than any tiing at the result of that fa mons trial. Ho regards Rutherford B. Hayes' election to the Presidency more absolute and formal than that of George Washington or Gen. Grant. Mr. Hoaf was president of the Garfield Convention In 1880. has boon an overseer of Harvard, regent of the Smithsonian, and is now president of the American Antiquarian Society and trustee of the Peabody Mu- seum of Archaeology.

When the Fiftieth Congress was in its infancy last Decem- ber, something of a sensation "was caused one night by the an- nouncement that President Cleveland had taUen a walk down past Newspa- per Row with a ' strange lady on his arm. Gossip car- rled the story on lightning heels and i t caused a big sputter. In a few hours, however, some- body discovered that the pedestrian was Gen. William Cogswell, of Massachusetts, who was in town ready to take his seat as member for the Seventh district of the Bay State. He looks wonderfully like Mr. Cleveland in a dim light and the mis- take was a natural one but for the Improbability of the President s being seen abroad with anv lady but his charm- ing, liappv bride. He is just fifty, but looks and feels as young as Henry Cabot Lodge, his not less handsome colleague. Dartmouth might have claimed him as a son if lie had nol yielded to his love of the sea and shipped before the mast. Afterward he graduated from Harvard Law School. (ion. Cogswell lives in Secretary Endicott's town, but Glouces- ter Is I'm' of tin- main places in his dis- trict, lie lias made a thorough study of the fishery question, both In a historical and practical way. and so he is well prepared to speak as to the feelings of sailors on the Yankee cod and mackerel anil herring fleet. Gen. Cogswell is short, broad and chubby cheeked, and shaves off all his beard except a mous- tache. Ho wears a long black Prince Albert "all buttoned down before." His white tie gives him a clerical look. Gen. Cogswell is a good campaigner. Ho proved that when he won the triangular fight in his district, proving himself the hypotienuse, and defeating good-looking Col. Jonas 11. French and a parson named Spauldiug. who ran, on the labor ticket. But he has seen sterner lighting than this. He won his Brigadiership in the field, on the march to Savannah, old Te- cumps giving it to him in the presence of Secretary Stanton. He wa.s with Banks at Shenandoah, with Pope al Smith Moun- tain, became Lieu f enant-Colonel at An- t let am, and Colonel at Chanei llorsvllle. He has twice been mayor of Salem aim served six terms in the State Legislature. His lawyer's shingle hangs out In Pem- berlon square, opposite Boston's new Stale House just rising.

In 1871 Con- gressman Burnett was graduated from Harvard, being Hun twenty-two years old. The following year be married Mr. Lowell's only child. Mr. Burnett is ., i lest Miii'-i gentleman, whose voice has yet to wake its maiden echo In de- bate. His Inline is near Farmlngham on Deerfoot Farm, whose name gives endorse- ment to a kind of sausage thai has found favor with epicures. The young Con- gressman is a business-like farmer, who advertises and pushes the sale of his farm products widely, "Deerfoot Farm" butter, cheese, sausage, raspberry jam, pickles, eggs, and several other delicious edibles fill the shelves of the store in Boston, where Mr. Burnett's agent pre sides, and Beacon street and Common- wealth avenue in that cultured city feel that they are hardly having the right sort of food unless Deerfoot Farm has helped furnish the table, particularly with bmter or cream cheese.

In 1857 the young man set off tor South America to collect material for a history of the Cen- tral American Slates. lie collected a store of data, but the I k lias never been written. Mr. Russell was, for some lime, diplomatic agent in Washington, together with Ben Halllday, for the Pana- ma Railroad and Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company, and had a salary of over $10,000 a year, when Halllday sold out to Well-, Fargo & Co..

Mr. Burrows would be an Interesting figure as the leader of a Republican ma- jority In the House. As speaker he would lapidly assume the proportions of a presi- dential quantity and, more than any man who has borne a prominent part in public life since Mr. Blaine's retirement, fix a new magnetic center in American politics. His manner is decided and he expresses his opinions with unspeakable certainty and confidence in their correctness He has not the splendid audacity nor the cat- footed agility of Mr. Blaine, but his Intel- lectuals are seldom badly clogged and he knows what the people want.

" Johnnie" Al- len Is the funny man of t h.e House. Since Horr, of Mich- igan and Bel- ford, of Colora- d o disappeared Allen has beer without much competition i n his kind of fun. He talks on the floor of the House as though he were on the stump, flourishes his arms about like a windmill, throws his fist at tho .Speaker, and raises his hands to the gal- leries. He Is a dark, sallow man of about 40, with bushy brown hair oovei iug the crown and sides of his head, and with a high, saffron forehead. Ho has a Roman nose, with exceedingly large nostrils, which seem to quiver between a sneer and a laugh as ho talks. Ho talks well, and always has an audience. He began his law practice in 1870 and was district attorney of his county four years. This is his second term in Con- gress. Allen's bright sayings would fill a mighty ontertaining book. In one of his speeches a member arose and requested permission to ask a ques- tion. Allen drow himself up to his full height and said, " I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, but I cannot allow myself to be Intel rupted except by applause." A reporter recently attempted to In- terview Allen on the subject of tho tariff. "Yon must excuse me." said tho wiltv Mississlpplan, "before I can make up my mind on the tariff I shall have to hoar myself speak on the subject." One day Allen was engaged in tolling a story to a knot of members during a roll-call. He did not hear his name un- til tho second call, and then turned quickly to Congressman Taulbeo and In- I bow he had voted. "I voted •No,' whispered Tanlbee. " No," shouted Allen with great cm- phasls. ■■ Why did you follow Taulbeo on that \"i" "' a member inquired. '■ Well," replied Allen with a quizzical smile, '-Tanlbee looks mighty like my col- onel in the late war I followed' Mm for four years, and he never once led mo whore thore was any danger.

In accent and style he is quite English. In- deed, ho took a de- gree at Oxford. He has written a novel whose l heme, is the divorce question, and would like to be a literary man better than anything else, but as the coming male representative of the Cooper family, ho will probably be obliged to be Mayor of New York.

Mr. Camp- bell is a big-hearted Irishman, brought up in New York City, I hough born in Coun- ty < 'a.van, in (lie "Ould" Country. He Is a typo and has worked on the New York Times, Ex- press. Tribune and Herald. He was on the Herald when he T. J. OAMPBJiL.1.. was nominated in 1867 for the State Assembly and he was elected to the As- sembly in 1868, '69, '70, '71, '72. '73 and '75. He studied law with Judge Flanagan and was admitted to the, liar in November, 1869; was elected Justice of the Fifth District Civil Court in Now York City in 1875 and served six yoars In this capacity. In 1883 he was re- turned to Iho State Assembly. He was nominated for Stato Senator In opposi- tion to the Tammany candidate and was elected by 5,547 majority. Before his term expired a vacancy occurred In the Eighth Congressional District of New York, by the appointment of Sunset Cox as Minister to Turkey and Mr. Campbell Mas nomiuatod and elected to the Forty- ninth Congress to fill the seat. Tim has his full share of Irish wit. One day, shortly after the Ingalls-Voor- hees affair the House got into a noisy snarl. Above the din, the Speaker soon heard Tim's voice : "Is this tho United States Senate?" Another time, whllo showing some friends about the Capitol, the party en tered Statuary Hall and paused before the figure of Robert Fulton, who sits pen- sively regarding the miniature model of his first steamboat, which rests upon his knee. " Who is that ?" asked a bright-eyed little maiden, who failed to note tho chis- elled naino upon the pedestal. " Robert Fulton," replied " Our Tim," with a graceful flourish of (lie- arm.

A glowing piece of sophomoric description in tho Columbus, O., Statesman, called forth by a beautiful sky one night In the summer of 1S53, Is responsible for a name known in Con- gress now for over thirty years. "Sunset." Cox (Samuel Sullivan h e Bible) Is the wit of the House, ancis Bacon forbore SAMUEL s. COX. t0 rlaim Ml e famous plays he wrote because to be known as a poet would cost, him his name as a phil- osopher. Mr. Cox has never felt any fear for his fame as a statesman in grati- fying the lovo of fun among his fellow citizens. His witticisms come from him like limpid water from some crystal moun- tain spring. His brain flashes like light- ning at, tho slightest play of tho subtle, current of humor. He comes fairly by his honors. His grandfather was a Rev- olutionary brigadier and a member of the Tenth Congress. His father was a Stale Senator In Ohio. " Sunset" supported himself In Brown University by literary work and took half a dozen prizes. He started to practice law but gave It up. After a play spell In Europe he went to Columbus, O., and edited the Statesman. In 1855 he was offered the place of Sec- rotary of Legal ion in London. Ho de- clined but soon accepted a similar place with our Peruvian Mission. On coming home in 1856 he was elected to Congress. IIo was delegate to the National Demo- cratlo conventions in .1864, 1868 and 1876. In 1866 he removed to New York city and two years later was elected to Congress. In 1877 he was one of three candidates for the Speakership but was beaten. Ho put through the law for the present apportionment of Congressmen, and he will probably have a good deal to do with the next apportionment when on almost any basis the West will gain upwards of 100 members and the Atlan- tic States lose from 20 to 30 members. Long ago Mr. Cox grow weary of life In Congress. He was quite willing to ac- cept when President Clevoland appointed him Minister to Turkey. In writing to a friend at that time ho said : " The ad- vent of new men has pushed me to the ■^^V ln * ' f^U]/ \Nfirst ' * Franc rear; so that while abreast. If not ahead, of my party on most themes, I was not oven able to command my old and favor- ite Foreign Committeeship or my former Smithsonian Regentship. always accorded to me even by Republicans-; besides, so aitieii work in Congress and no results the rolling, rolling, lolling up of the stone which rolled down 'with a resulting bound'i— the foolish modes and rules, which few in control cared little to cor roct— all this, and more, made me think ii was high time to seel; the land of leep and rest mi the banks of the Bosphorus." \ ■ i i year of the Orient was enough and Sunset is shining, again in his old famil- iar haunts. He has been beaten but once —in 1872 when he ran "at large." The winner died and in the .special election Sunset got the seat. He has a bronze me- dallion of Don Quixote fighting the wind- mids hanging over his study desk. It is at this desk that he works at Congressional matters, and doubtless he eft en compares his own efforts to reform tho business of Congress to this battle of Cervantes' knight with tho windmill. Mr. Cox is in his sixty-fourth year. It suggests what a mighly growth lias gone on in the west to be told that the father of Mrs. Cox built the first grain elevator in Chi- cago. .New York, N.

There wore many suitors fur the hand ot Miss Exum, the belle of the Roanoke valley. The Sena- tor was then a Whig, one of the true blues of Iho "Tar State." It was noised about that Miss Hattie would not accept his proffer of marriage If he were de- fealed. The Whigs and Democrats who recognized In him one of the most popu- lar young men in the State vied with each other In giving him their support. When the returns wero counted Ransom was olectod by an almost unanimous vote, and the accomplished daughter of Roan- oke became the wife of North Carolina's favorite son. In 1861 he was one of the Peace Commissioners from his State to the Montgomery Congress. In North Carolina Senator Ransom is a very popu- lar man. He knows more men. women and children, it is said. In the Tar Heel State than any other North Carolinian living. Ho Is always ready to make 'a speech when at heme and as a honey-fu- gler ho has no equal.

After going to col- lege In Tennessee, Vance was for a while clerk at the Warm Springs Hotel, a sta- tion that no doubt developed in him a certain inspired audacity that has won many battles for him In later life. He was the war Governor of the State, quar- reled with some of the theoretical poli- ticians, and was arrested at Statesville after the war. He spent several months in Ihe Old Capitol prison contemporane- ously with Capt. Wlrz. but fortunately with a different denouement. It took North Carolina a long while to elect Vance to the Senate. Although he re- ceived 95 votes in the legislature to 4)1 i for the other fellow, Caleb Cushing was able to honey-fugle the Republican Sona- tors Into barring him out in spite of a majority report In his favor, written by Gen. Logan and having O. P. Morton's name appended to it. The legislature promptly elected Matt Ransom, whom disabilities had been removed, though both men stood equally guilty of being rebels. Zeb Vance is a good story-teller and he 1 gets pretty much anything he wants on both sides of the Senate. The Senator has a son In the army. Charlotte. N. C. : 1627 Mass. avenue, n. w.

The Scott part holds good still. Bill Scott is the Pennsylvania bower of Mr. Cleveland's administration. To his skewer is due the stiffness of tho Presi- dent's backbone on the tariff Issue. Prob- ably no man ever misrepresented so many millions of people as Mr. Scott does as the adtninistation representative from Pennsylvania. Hut It is his pleas- ure, just as his fast horses and his $1,400- a-thousand cigars are. He was born In Washington, and was once a page In the House— a case parallel to that of Sena- tor Gorman, of Maryland. The two ale VV. L. SCOTT.

He is now fifty- elghl and worth anywhere from $15,000,- 000 to $20,000,000. He Is a born financier, an autocrat in business, and a tyro at racing and politics. He is snare In build, has thin, clear-cut features and iron-gray hair and mustache. He gen- erally dresses quite jauntily in light cut away suits and with little display of jewelry. He is probably the worst speaker in the House, putting his Ideas In a naive, schoolboy 'shape, and speaks In a squeaky voice, anything but nice to hear.
