lawyer, but he was also irascible, al
though when approached In the right
y he was one of the most kindly
and considerate of men.
Senator Davis never failed having
hearers, both upon the floor of the
senate and In the galleries, when it
was announced that he was to sDeak.
13356 Sometimes there was suspicion that
127691 Bome OI tnose who visited the senate
cnamber did so In the expectation that
Mr. Davis would yield to Irritation
and interject into his -formal speech
some very peppejry remarks.
It was one of the senator's peculi
arities that he never would speak un
less his surroundings were entirely
congenial. Sometimes a misplaced
chair annoyed him. Frequently he
turned and cast upon the lobby at the J
rear of the senate fierce and angry
glances, so that he might thereby put
an end to conversation that was dis
turbing him.
Senator Davis was announced to
make an important speech at the ses
sion of congress for the year 1872.
Among those who heard him at that
time was John W. Wilson, then clerk
of the commerce committee of the
senate of which Roscoe Conkling was
the chairman. Mr. Wilson, as private
secretary of Senator Conkling and
clerk of the latter's committee, met
with many very interesting and some
times dramatic experiences. But the
one which he remembers as vividly
as any relates to the speech In ques
tion by Senator Davis.
"I had Just taken my place in the
reporters' gallery of the senate," said
Mr. Wilson, "to which I had access,
when I saw Ben Butler, then a mem
ber of the house, enter the senate
chamber. He looked around the body
with that peculiar twist of the head
so characteristic of him, and then,
with his queer little mincing step
went to the Democratic side, took a
seat directly behinI Senator Davis
and instantly became much interested
in Senator Davis speech, paying him
the courtesy of very close attention.
Suddenly Senator Davis, who was
a little man, turned around as though
to address some of the senators in the
seats behind him, and discovered Ben
Butler sitting almost within arm's
reach of him. Butler looked up at
the senator, and there may have been
something in Butler's manner, or pos
sibly some recollection of Butler's-
career In the Civil war, which brought
out all of the latent irritation that
was in Senator Davis. At any rate, he
stopped speaking and glared fiercely
at poor Butler, who evidently did not
know why Davis, had become thus
angry. In fact, ft looked for a mo
ment as though Davis, who had lost
control of himself almost completely,
was about to go to Butler and attempt
to eject him from that seat.
"Instantly the tension in the senate
was Intense. Still, Butler did not real
ize that he was the cause of the
trouble; but he returned the fierce
glance of Gannett Davis as 'though
saying: ii you can iook ugly, so
Lean I.
"Just as Senator Davis seemed
about to advance upon Butler, one of
the senators upon the Republican
side, Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,
stepped hastily ,to Butler and whis
pered to him. Then holding Butler gent
ly by the sleeve of his coat, Mr. Wil
son drew him from .the Democratic
seat and escorted him to the Repub
lican side of the chamber. As Butler
was crossing the center of the aisle,
he turned and looked at Davis, who
was almost beside himself with anger.
When Butler was seated in the chair
of one of the Republican senators, he
calmly turned around and looked
again at Senator Davis.
"Davis was completely mastered by
his Irritation. Still glaring at Ben
Butler, he abruptly terminated his
speech and took his seat. Nor did he
seem- to be himself again until But
ler had retired from the senate cham
ber. "The incident was not reported at
the tkne. since I was the only person
in 'the correspondent's gallery. And
after it was all over I remember hear
ing a senator say that the senate had
narrowly-escaped a personal encoun
ter that would have been sensational
and humiliating."

Horace A. W. Tabor's Own Explana
tion of the Story That He Wore
Nightshirts With Frills of '
Finest Lace.
The story of the beginning of the
unique and sensational career of Sen
ator Horace A. W. Tabor of Colorado
is one of the most fascinating of the
romances of American mining devel
opment. It was a familiar story some
30 years ago, but the later excitement
and romances of sudden wealth follow
ing the discovery of gold or silver
have caused it to be somewhat ob
scured. Tabor was a rough and ready
sort of fellow who kept a grocery
store and- sort of tavern In the vi
cinity of what Is now JLieadville, Colo.
The. prospectors esteemed him not
only as a friend, but as a benefactor.
He never permitted any man to go
away hungry. He always entertained
a miner or prospector, whether he saw
the color of a man's money or not. He
was confident that every man would
pay his score when he had money;
and if he didn't it would be because he
Saved Fame By Not Speaking
Col. Walter Harriman, Noted Soldier
and Campaigner, Feared One
Speech Would Destroy Rep
utation and Declined.
"When an orator has gained a great
reputation he should stop speaking,"
James A. Garfield, himself no mean
orator, once said to a friend. And
this is an anecdote of another famous
orator who agreed fully with Garfield.
One of the fighters of the Union
army -who gained distinction for his
bravery was Walter Harriman, colonel
of a New Hampshire regiment. He
was wounded several times, and was
once taken prisoner. He was sent to
Charleston, S. C, where he found a
large company ,of Union officers. A
few days after Colonel Harriman's ar
rival at Charleston it became known
that the Union forces had established
a battery with one great gun, called
the "Swamp Angel," upon an island
In the harbor about four miles distant
from the city, the Confederate author
ities in Charleston having been in:
formed by the Union commander that
it was. his intention to shell the city.
This warning was given in order that
non-belligerents, especially the women
and children, could be removed to a
place of safety before firing began.
Thereupon the Confederate officers de
cided to select some fifty federal offi-
fcers and place, them day and night in
a most exposed position, and the com
manding officer of the Union "army
was Informed of that purpose.
Among the fifty selected was Colonel
Harriman. The fuelling of the city
began, but It caused comparatively lit
tle damage and did no harm to any
of the Union Officers, although Colonel
Harriman afterwards declared his en
forced exposure to the fire of the great
guns .caused far greater apprehension
than any that he had experienced
while in battle. However, none of
Colonel Harriman's fellow officers saw
the slightest indication of timidity on
his part. He, was entirely composed,
saying to his companions: "This is
one, of the chances of war."
At the close of the Civil war Colonel
Harriman returned . to New Hamp
shire. He speedily gained. great repu
tation as a political orator. He was
s
very slender, tall and thin featured,
but his voice was clear and ringing.
his gestures graceful, and he was in
great demand by Republicans all over
the United States -when campaigning
was in progress. His record as a sol
dier and his prominence as a political
speaker caused him to be unanimous
ly nominated for governor of New
Hampshire and he was elected by a
great plurality in the late sixties.
In 1875 there was to be a great
meeting of the Grand Army of the Re
public at Boston. The expectation was
that General Grant would attend, and
"Phil" Sheridan had promised to be
there without fail and to march on
foot at the head of his soldiers. The
committee of arrangements asked Gov
ernor Harriman to deliver the chief
address of this occasion. He held
that to be about the most distin
guished honor that had-come to him.
He said to the committee:
"I appreciate the compliment you
have given , me, and I will communi
cate with you by letter in the course
of a few days."
But whep the committee had re
ceived the letter and read it they
found that Governor Harriman had
declined. They were amazed and dis
appointed. But he persisted in hold
ing to it -
The great gathering of the Grand
Army took place. -Governor Harriman
was present, but did not speak. ' Said
a friend to him some time later:
"Governor, you have a national rep
utation as an orator. The Grand Army
has a -high admiration for you. You
had a noble opportunity to speak be
fore it Why did you decline it?"
"For a very "simple reason," replied
Governor Harriman. I have learned
by my reading and by my experience
that It takes about twenty years to
make a reputation, and that the next
twenty years are occupied In maintain
ing it An orator has a peculiar repu
tation. He is liable to lose it by rea
son cf the failure of a single speech.
I. could not afford to take that risk. I
declined-to speak before the G. A. R,
simply because . I wanted to keep" un
impaired the reputation I already have
gained jas an orator." r -

' . - "A
couldn't; and in that event the score
was forgiven. '
Upon one occasion a prospector asfc:
ed Tabor to grub stake him. The
request was instantly granted. A short.
time later the prospector struck very
rich deposits of silver, and Tabor "be
came a man of millions. He built an:
opera house in Denver, plunged into
many-activities, and at last had polit--ical
aspirations, becoming lieutenant
governor of his state. Then there
came a vacancy from Colorado in the-.
United States senate. There was an:
interim of only a month between the
date when the vacancy began and the
time when the legislatures would meet,
and elect a new senator. Tabor and.
his mining friends prevailed with the
governor, so that it was announced:
that the man who had changed his po
sition over night from a grocery store
keeper to a capitalist of many mil
lions was to serve for four weeks in
the United States senate.
Before Senator Tabor reached Wash
ington to take his seat, there were'
published wonderful tales purporting
to describe the outfit of clothing which
he had provided for himself in his
descent upon the capital. There were
vivid descriptions of an array of
nightshirts of the finest linen, deco
rated with real lace frills at the cuff st
and at the neck. These tales natu
rally added to the interest in the ro
mantic senator. i
But there was nothing in Tabor's ap
pearance when he first took his seat to
justify the belief that he had become
of a sudden an exquisite dandy. He
was modest and unassuming, and ap
parently content to sit even though,
for no longer period than four weeks,,
as a member of the senate. He paid
no heed to the reports which pur
ported to describe his extraordinary
underwear, and after his term In the
senate had expired, he returned to
Colorado as quietly as he had reached:
Washington.
I was chatting with the sole repre
sentative frdm Colorado in the lower
house of congress, James B. Belford,
shortly after Tabor's term in the sen
ate had expired, and I asked abouf
the reports that had told of the al
leged personal eccentricities of Ta
bor, i
"Weil," replied Judge Belford, 1
said to Tabor one day: 'Tabor, what
is all this stuff that has been printed
about you and real lace nightshirts?
Where did It start? Is it true?
" 'Jim,' he said In reply, won't say
whether If Is true or not, and yon
don't need to ask me that; but I will
tell you confidentially that I guess I
started the story myself. You Bee, my
friends are aft among the miners and
the prospectors- If I worked the red
shirt and overall business In politics
with them, they would all see right
through it. They are no- fools. They
are all of them the kind, of men who
count on diamonds, fine raiment and
linen, and everything that's splendid,
if they make money, and so I said to
myself that if they heard I was not
playing the cheap political game, but
instead was - willing to let the world
know that I had money and. was spend
ing some of it on myself, they would
all say: "That's the boy for me." Tho
overall and unlaundered shirt business
has been worked to death in politics.
I don't think the lace nightshirt has
hurt me a bit with the boys.'
. . "That was Tabor philosophy," cpn
ciuded Judge' Belford, "and I wouldn't
wonder if. he was right In It"
