After Cleveland'1 nomination In Chicago In June, 1892, Bosi Oroker, Orato'r Bourke Cockran and other lesser lights, sat looking as sullen as old Sitting Bull's pictures, After the nomination a your man arose to pacify everybody.

He made a speech something like this: "Grover, Grover, Four More Years of Clover." The speech did not interest the New York delegation, and they were, soon on their way home. The young man was correct on the Grover question, but he went wrong on clover. The democratic landslide, or catastrophe, of the early nineties brought forward the Boy Orator as congressman from the Omaha district. This was the first and only office he has ever been elected to. Since that time, he has been engaged in running for office and reformation work.

reformation work carries juicy collections, and the Boy Orator has given no Intimation of resigning. The democratic tidal wave ct 1892 also brought the Bewhis-kered Pfeffer, of Kansas. His Whiskers believed in a liberalized form of government. He wanted to print greenbacks galore, just like President Ebert is printing German marks. That landslide also gave the country Hon.

Thos. Ego Watson, of Georgia. By the time the fiery Georgian his pitchfork reached Washington he was ready for battle. He began by calling Cleveland the pliant tool of Wail street, and he didn't stop a't this. And th.it campaign also brought forward the Honorable Sockless Jerry Simpson, Kansas' leading hayseeder.

The Honorable Simpson made a speech in congress and exhibited his legs without This gave him greater popularity back in Kansas. Simpson may have gotten the idea from a distinguished Alabama governor who once made a speech at Greenville, and displayed pretty legs without socks. Cleveland and a democratic congress started -bjisluess on March 4, 1893. Tfce first thing they did was to disagree. Then followed bankruptcies and receiverships.

Almost every railroad In the south wont the bankrupt route, except Miss Ellen N. Then folowed the bankrupt law. This law has enabled some people to shed their debts, reopen In business 'and buy first-class cars. The bankrupt law Is still doing a prolific business. And then came General Jake Coxey and his army of tramps.

The General's idea of restoring the liberties of the people was to organize an army of bums, march 1 DAU EHTY GOT AT II WASHINGTON, D.

Jacksonville Will Copy Boost This City Campaign The Montgomery chamber ot commerce, through its secrftary, received a letter Monday morning from the chamber of commerce of Jacksonville, tne text of which is as follows: "Our people in undertaking ari advertising campaign, to sell Jacksonville, to our own people, to arouse a proper local esprit de corps, are planning a campaign similar to 'Your Boost campaign which proved so They requested that information regarding the campaign pui on in Montgomery be sent them. BOARD OF ACOGVNANTS HEAR CASE TODAV. The Board of Public Accoun-ants of Alabama remained in session at the capitol Monday hearing charges against J.

H. certified public accounant. No information was available as to the nature of the charges or as to who brought them. on Washington, and sleep on the grass in the white house yard. But rambling back to Cleveland's nomination: Cleveland was the son of a Presbyterian minister, and came of a most respectable family, If Cleveland first thought of getting a blue-stocking Presbyterian to manage his campaign he changed his mind.

Long before the campaign started Chas. F. Harrity yes, Harrity down in Philadelphia, was se nt for. The big Irishman bore an excellent reputation for getting results in elections. His reputation was something like the democratic chairmau down in the black, or shoe string district, of South Carolina.

That district had about lfln.oon colored folks, and about 10.000 white folks. But the thrifty chairman always brought up overwhelming democratic majorities. Harrity accepted Mr. Cleveland's invitation and went down to New York. He was soon In.

supreme command. Among Mb first acts was to visit Dick Cro-ker, and other Tammany chieftains. It must have been a satisfactory visit, for soon Tammany chieftains shucked their coats and went to work. The following spring Tammany did not have to accept the crumbs that fell from a democratic table. Instead, the best pork chops was passed to them.

Among Mr. Cleveland's first appointments, in 1893, was that of Postmaster Dayton, a Tammany- ile. Mr. Dayton made a great record as postmaster. He cleaned out the stalls tand stables.

Grateful citizens erected a monument to him several years ago. This can not be said of any other New-York postmaster. And it would not be strange to see Miss Democracy nominate Smith and Neff.

Francis Bugbee died at the family residence on Wilkinson street. April 21, 1877. Hon. Francis Bugbee. was a native of Ashford where he was born in 1794.

He was a descendant of several men prominent in revolutionary affairs. The family homestead was in Kox-bury, Mass. in ISIS, he graduated from Yale and in 1820 was admitted to the bar of North Carolina, coming to Montgomery in 1826, where he began the practice of law. He was later judge of the circuit court and one of the trustees of the University ot Alabama. A man of excep'nnally strong feeling, at.

the death ot his only son, Thomas Bugbee, a rising young lawyer, Judge Bugbee resigned his judgeship nnd never entered the court -room again. Until the death of his son, Judge Bugbee owned and lived in a house on Madison avenue (at-terwards the St. John's rectory) which is still standing.

A. Gunter. This house is also still Mrs. W. H.

The surprise of the past week in politics was Governor Neff, of Texas, The governor took the stump to prevent Texas sending an instructed delegation to the national convention to be held in this city in June. After taking the stump the governor announced that Toxas democrats could not afford to instruct for either candidate now running in the Texas primary. He closed his pyrotechnics by saying if Texas instructed for a candidate this week, he might, be indicted the next.

This statement lipd forth hv the Teapot Dome and other saliclous oil scan dals in "Washington. The governor did not say who he would favor for the presidency, but he made it plain-that he was against Alabama's great senator, and also against the Honorable McAdoodle, of California. By inference, he governor said he wanted a candidate without spots or stains. And this makes the governor either- for or Smith. Seriously, speaking, au uninstructed delegation in Texas means a Smith delegation at the crucial time.

The first thing the governor did after taking the stump was to challengB McAdoo for a joint debate. McAdoo refused. The oily candidate prefers -to broadcast his views. If McAdoo loses in the Texas primary he is a gone goslin, and the next thing in order' will be for him to Quit. Since the Georgia primary Mc-Adoo's candidacy has received some rough He lost in Wisconsin, without an opponent.

Wisconsin democrats scratched McAdoo's name, and wrote name. Smith had an easy road to victory. In the Missouri conventions McAdoo received another blow out. In the Illinois primary Mr. George Brennan graciously offered McAdoo part of Illinois' vote if he would be good.

declined. He said it was all, or none. He got none. And now, if Big Texas gives him the air, the race is over, so far as McAdoo is concerned. Indiana is yet to come.

It may cast, a perfunctory vote for old man Ralston. But Tom Tygert as colored democrats call Tag-gfift will control the delegation. Taggart began his business career as a dish washer in a cheap hash house on Mobile street, in Indianapolis. He is strong for personal liberty, and this makes him heart and soul for Smith. Smith has New York, Illinois and Wisconsin tucked away.

He will also have- Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts. And he will have other, states not necesasry to mention If Texas steps to Neff and later to Smith, this just about insures Smith's nomination. 1 Neff gets credit for being the dictator of Texas politics. He is an outstanding prohibitionist and is said to be an influential member of the Koo Koos. It would be just like Miss Democracy to nominate Smith and Neff.

Smith, an outstanding liquorite, and Neff -an outstanding prohibitionist. Last week your correspondent recalled how Cleveland was nominated in Chicago In 1892 with his own state. New York, Instructed and voting for David' Bennett Cleveland's nomination wan brought about largely by E. El-lery Anderson and ex-Secretary (if the Navy Whitney.
