EXPERIENCES OF THE ANTE-ROOM Men MAN Thero's the Antlous Cagdidate, the Swell- oliticiam the Man Who * and the Ex- change Fiend, Tt was the aveningof election day, On the street an expectant crowd surged in front of ik Ber building, anxiously waiting to gain some reliable information as to the result, Thousnnds of eyes were upturned in the direction of the canvas which the stereopticon from time to timo flashed the latest returns, Leatherlunged patriots, somo filled with enthusiasm and somo with a dash of spirits, roared themselves hoarse, while others made the night hideous with thoir incossant tooting of horribly discordant tin horns, te whole population seemed to bo on the streets and everybody appeared hulf crazed with oxcitement. But up on the sixth floor it was different. Here was a busy hive of workors quietly en- caged in compiling tho facts and figures tho public was so eager to learn. Eversthing was cavefully and methoaically arranged so as to provent confusion. To oach member of tho staff was assigned somo particular duty and in the various rooms of tho editor- ial departmont perfect order prevailed. As a rosult Tie Ber was the first newspaper to appear on tho strects with anvthing like full and accurate election roturns. It was deemed prudent to assign to the religious editor tho task of auswering telephonn calls, and notwithstanding his many temptations to forget his position he came out unseathed. It was a trying ordeal o went %hrough ns hio not ouly had to attend to tho legitimato calls of the “puolic for election news, but, what was still more exasperating, he was ket almost continually at the 'phona contradict- ing fake rumors and imaginary results that had been concootad in the oftice of an alloged newspaper. Ho is a most amiabio and loug- suffering individual, but he was heard to remark that there is such & thing as riding a free horso to death. Behind the iron wicket in the aute-room sat o solitary individual wonose dutv it was te see that no nno passed through the iron gate thatnight. Heitwas who all through che long night snd 'wuy into the next morning stood botween the anxius candidate and the eaitorial force. [t would take two or throo issues of this paper to detail all the sobemes dovised by outsiders to gain admis- sion. Among the most persistent was u candidate on the domocratio tickst who oxhausted every availale artifico to effect his purpose. After trying, without success, bribery in the shape of hquid re- freshment, he even wentso far ns to threaten violence, but upon being told that the man in charge of the ante-room was perfectly willing to die {f ueccessaty at his post of duty he concluded to give up tho attempt. Ha 'was asked why be did not o down to the organ of his own party for the information, but he repliey, with evident feelings of dis- ZUSt, toal it was no good expecting accurate Teturns theve. of thing was re poated with more or less variations ail through the night. It was astonishing what a uumber of persons had business of n private nature with the various members of the oditorial corps. Sowme peoble seem to bo very much offended 1f they are no once recognized on enter- ing a newspaper office.” Ouly a dav or two g0 a shabbily dressed, but pampous, party called at tho oftico and after waking o bow sald: “You kunow me, of course. Not Well, I deciare; thatis strango. I tnought news- paper men always knew, promment vublic men. Allow me to inform you, young man, that I am a candidate for the position of as- sessor in tho Bloventh ward.” But it 1s not oaly at election times that a newspaper is besieged by bores. All the vear 'round they are subject to visits alt sorts of peoble upon overy couc errand, Probably the most annoyine visitor is the man who wants to seo the editor and coolly remarks that haviog nothing to do he simply wisnes to kil a few hours timo before his train starts and thought he would just look in, Many people have an idea that they must see the editor-m-chief on the most trivial matters. Not long sinee a well dressed gen- tleman cafled at the oflica and insisted upon seeing tho editor-in-chiof or the managing cditor, On bring told that he world have to state his bus 85 ho said: have met with a serious acc coming down Sixteenth st 2] I steppod up: sidewalk my shoe upon this morning 1+ @ nail that projected from tho and it mado a holo in and injured my foot.
