BY SAVOYARD- ' J s E. Watson la a leader in Cbn s a fine public speaker, an ex- . 'U organizer, the KepuDiican ' ih;j," and the personal representa . e of the Republican Speaker on the i or of the House, where a good deal of dirty -work has o be done, and all u.st admit tharthe Hon. Watson does it with fairly clean' hands, especially when the job U as Clthy as that ship tubsidy steal. Jim watson may be said to be from the "Old Burnt" district, next to the Ashland district, the most famous In the Ohio Valley. T?a hrnf th 'rnt - OhlectOr" for Congress In 1834, and was beaten by him two years later. Holman was me first man who served thirty years In the House, and e was a great man, mainly because at the country cross road he could mak the average citi zen think that William S. Holman was just a little better friend to the man who works with his liands and strug gles for a living than anybody else. Jim Watson beat him for Congress In 1 8 9 4 : because that was the year the Democratic party retired from politics and sent the Pops to do their stunt In the political arena. Mr, Watson Is a candidate for Gov wrnor of Indiana. Wlrat he wants -with It I cannot Imagine. Only one - Governor of that State was a coiossal figure while la office, and clrcura- Am Governor, Watson would take the dry rot "and never be heard of again. " The thing of going from Congress to i Coventor's mansion is come to operate in our country like the stew ardship of the Chlltern Hundreds in England,' an honorable road out of politics. It is no longer the way to the Senate. Doubtless J. Frank Han Jy knows that There was a time when to be Gov ernor of a sovereign State of this Un ion was a much bigger office than to be a member of Congress, but that " was when the Federal power was a great deal modester than It 1 now. Henry Clay left the United States Sen ate to take a seat in the Kentucky Legislature. I believe something like . Hint , uo-pyciicu iv a.i u iuine. though he retired from the (National House to go to the Massachusetts Leg islature. De Witt Clinton was Sena tor In Congress and mayor of New York at the same time, and he re garded the office of mayor as the more Important How different it had be nnmt In 1RT when Allen Thurman .wa the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio. He had been In .Congress twenty years earlier and had voted for the Wllmot proviso. He was the best lawyer in the State and the greatest debater of his time. He wa.i nominated for Governor and very nearly elected, it was understood mat Legislature was Demtcratlc. The main Issue was rubbing the word "white" out of the suffrage clause of the Ohio beaten by 50,000 majority, and the word is In that constitution to this day. Thurman made such a splendid race for Governor that he wa given the Senatorshlp that Vallandinhnm had earned. It was a calamity all around. Had Thurman been elected Governor it would have been the last of R. B. Hayes: Vallandlnham would have been sent to the Senate, whence, I have little doubt, he would have gone to the White House. Proctor Knott might have remained In Congress to this day had he not ought the Senatorshlp through the Governor's mansion. John W. Steven eon got to the Senate by that route, tout Leslie, McCrrary. Knott, Buckner, and John Young Brown all failed, as did W. O. Bradley on the other side of the political hedge. It is true that Governor Beckham is nominated for Senator In a primary fearfully and wonderfully conceived and conducted, tout Governor Beckham is not yet Cen g tor. Benton McMillln's la a ease in point, j He came to CongreM in 1879 and was made a pet by the set headed by Wll-j !iamlR. Morrison and that had for Its members Carlisle'. Mills, Hurd, and Tucker, later reinforced by Turner, the Breckenrldges. Wilson, and men like those. He got a knowledge of the tariff by absorption, and became a member of ways and, means. They atirnl tn HfrtA tor him In irn TCnrth land instruct them on political economy ttnd us long a he confined hlmtn-lf to the tariff he did very well Indeed. " The Democratic party, Ood bless It, ,ls a composite of Philip Sidney, Roijer Je Caverley, Baron Bradwardine, Wll Jfclns Mlcawber. and Tarn O. Shanter. ffVow it is the Tnth Lglon that saved j great Caesar, and now it Is the squad )dm Falstaff refused to go through ; Coventry with. It Is entirely human. It .has the simplicity and the abiding confidence of the honest country gen 4tleman that thinks not, knows not, and cannot understand guile. Is it not written: Verily I say unto you: Whoaoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God ' as a little child, shall in no wise enter therein.. That is the way the Democratic par ty receive everything, It hn the same rame palate for rail as for nectar. : That is what makes It Immortal, and . that I what makes it the rudder and the anchor of thin mighty republic. Be ye of good eherr; It will escape tUe wlldreness where It was Interred In tha struggle of 1898. Well, Benton McMlllln had a heap to du with It. In 1890 the American of Grover Cleveland in 1388, and they were outraged because of the enorml s ties of the first Tom Heed Congress. The gave voice to their peltence and their disgust In the com plstest victory ' tot the Democracy !n the entire his tory of our republic, before or since. It the South had ben silent in the yifty-second Congress, tha Democrats had a majority of the Northern mem bers and the South was solid with a possible minority not exceeding three. WJjo did It? Cleveland. Carlisle, .; rm ii... Du..i.i 1 1 m . ... . eon, and that t. A race came on for Speaker. Had the House been conven ed In March 1891, not ten votes would have een cast against Roger Q. Mills In the Democratic caucus., Morrison had been put out of Congress by Pitts hurg tariff boodle. Carlisle had been ' fftit to fill Beck's shoes in the Senate. The inevitable, the logical, the one possible Speaker was Roger Q. Mills, who stood or the !dca. , Benton McMlllln had atxiut as much rhance for Speaker as 4 had to be Tope of Home. Yet combinations be. .ran to form In 1891 with a single ob ject to heat for tha nomination the only Democrat who could be elected President of the United states, and it would have succeeded If a similar combination had not been triumphant it 18f0. Crtp was the favorite of the OTibinatlon that was captained hv Tammany Hall, David B, Hill and Ar- inur r, uoriuan.- iMcaiiinn, an or who eg-gs were in the Mills basket, was induced to run under the persua Tf'o. other girl tirkd bora H came ( :- tUi tiifin tli could be the um. 1? y'd HoilintM-'i Rocky Mountain wi a. a. 31.

No wonder it was tnat 1 tne nrsi whack the Democracy got at McMil lin he was struck between wind and water. His usefulness was gone.

He may be Senator yet. for my knowledge of American i politics 4 s q s h oat mm i hat Avervthlna Impossible can happen--in the state of Tennessee. In late years I do not recall a man who left Congress to be Governor who did not lose by the exchange.
