GRANT COUNTY HERALD, LANCASTER WISCONSIN, MARCH 30, 1910 NEW NEWI OF TESTENHT Samuel J. TUdtn*# Plan t. NaMle GIRm Seeker*. He PrepeeeW to Beke Seed Wee es the Peet I ©rm I fetftorenM* Thet B» tetotf te the ftemeeeetie forty. By I. A BDWARIM. In thia column a few days ago I tol< how President Hayes rot rid of many of his callers who didn’t know when to leave, by arousing in them a desire to see at close range the Washington monument, then in course of construc tion. To-day, owing to the Intimate acquaintance I enoyed for many years with the late Abram 8. Hewitt, a for mer mayor of New York city, I am able to tell the story of how President Hayes* opponent, Samuel J. Tilden, planned to handle the horde of office seekers that he knew full well would descend upon him once he had been established In the White House. “As you know,” said Mr. Hewitt, •‘all through the Hayes-Tilden cam paign I was practically Mr. Tilden’s personal campaign manager, and It was quite natural for him, I suppose, to tell me from time to time of some of the things that he planned to do should he be elected. He was forever planning to meet every possible con tingency, and It is pretty safe for me te say that he probably had worked out in great detail in his mind long before the ballots were cast just what he would do from the moment he be came the nation’s head “Well, one day when we had a mo ment erf leisure, he turned to me and said: “ ‘You realise, of course, that if I am elected there Is going to be a pro digious rush of office seekers to the White HouseT “ ‘Yes,’ I replied, ‘there will cer tainly be a great rush, for you will be the first Democratic president since Buchanan's day.’ “ ‘That’s just it,’ he replied, ‘and the fellows who are hungry for office will literally swarm down upon me in droves. But —’ and here a dry sort of expression spread over Mr. Tilden’s countenance —‘I think I’ll be able to keep them from killing me, as their predecessors did Gen. William Henry Harrison. “ ‘As all of us know, in practically every section of the country there is considerable cleavage in the party on account of the greenback and silver issues, and in several of the states there ere exceedingly serious faction al disturbances. Now, when the patronage mongers of the different factions pour down upon me, I’ll listen quietly to their demands, and when they are all through I’ll turn to them and say: “Gentlemen, I believe it is true that you have in your state two factions of our party. Let me make it plain to you that I io not intend to recognize or oppose either faction by making this, that or the other appoint ment in its interests. On the other hand, I intend to remain absolutely neutral. Therefore, my advise is for you gentlemen to get together and agree upon what you want in the way of offices, and then when you have fully decided this, come to see me. I won’t have factional fights brought into the White House.” “ That,’ added Mr. Tilden, ‘is a plan that I feel sure will work, and relieve me of the great strain of try ing to appease all factions with politi cal favors.’ “I, too, believe that it would have worked splendidly,” went on Mr. Hew itt, “and I am confident that it possi bly would have kept Mr. Tilden from dying while occupying the presidential chair, had the electoral commission decided in his favor. For he was not a physically strong man, and I fear that had he been compelled to handle the office seekers in the customary way the wear and tear on him would have been too great for him to bear —and the'country would have been called upon to mo.um the death of yet another president killed by those who hungered for office.” (Copyright, 1909, by E. J. Edward*.) Chilled Meat a Success. John L. Griffiths, consul general at London, reports that a consignment of Australian chilled beef reached the London market in good condition. It came from Brisbane, and was ft? days in transit, and sold readily at Smith field at eight and a half to nine cents a pound for hind Quart rm, or a little more than for beef from Argentina. There were 1,380 quarters in the con signment. The experiment peeved so successful that the importer cabled to Australia to install Immediately the necessary sterilizing machinery, and he predicted that it would give great Impetus to the cattle industry there. The proprietor of a London case re ports that the chilling process is vast ly superior to freezing in preserving the character of the meat. Voyage of Death. A strange tale of a veritable voyage of death was that told by the officers of the German barque Selene, bound from Tocopilla to Hamburg with nit rate which put into Falmouth to land the body of its young captain. When on the coast of Ecuador the whole of her crew were struck down with fever peculiar to the Ecuadorian coast. One by one the men succumbed to the dreaded disease, and the then captain and 11 sailors were buried at short Intervals. A new captain and crew were engaged, and on the homward Jcurney the newly-appointed captain, who was only 28 years of age, wm taken ill and succumbed.

Bngardus Again Hits the Bull’s Eye. > This world famous rifle shot who holds the championship record of 100 pigeons in 100 consecutive shots is living at Lincoln, 111. Recently in terviewed, he says :— ‘ ‘I have suffered a long time with kidney and bladder trouble and have used several well known medicines all of which gave me no relief until I starred taking Foley’s Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley's Kidney Pills I was subjected to severe backache and pains in my kidneys with suppression and often times a cloudy voiding. While upon arising in the morning I would get dull headaches Now I have taken three bottles of Foley's Kidney Pills and feel 100 per cent better. lam never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and once more feel like my own seif. ’ All this I owe solely to Foley’s Kidney Pills and always re commend them to my fellow sufferers. ’ ’ J.
