But he had no sooner planted the roundest part of his manly person in the cashier’s chair than he sighed for the chair of the naval office, which he could see leering, as it were, seductively at him through the little window of his own office. .In furtherance of his ambitious dream frequent meetings of .the Tri- umvirate were held and a plan.of cam- paign was formulated. The Senatorial aspirations of Colonel Burns were to be encovraged and the trio were to dis- pense the Federal ‘patronage: in this State in the event of his siccess. Burns and his friends were-to assist. the Tri- umvirate in getting the place for Ham- ilton, as an evidence of good faith, so to speak.

O B . ot SR o are on | they have | the 15th of the present month and the appointment of Colonel Hamilton in his stead. This petition was brought to a large number of prominent Republicans and | State and Federal officers for their in- | dorsement, and they were induced to | sign the paper under the belief that it | was & simple indorsement of Colonel | | Hamilton for some position under the national administration. The “hurry- me-quick” act was played, and a large majority of the signers were in blisstul 1gnorance of the use to which their names were to be put. | An instance in point is the manner in | which the Supreme Justices were in- | duced to sign the paper. One day while | the Supreme Court was in session a entleman in whom the Justices had onfidence passed the petition from one to the other for their signatures, he hurriedly stating, in a whisper, for the | court was in the midst of business, that | its purpose was the indorsement of Colonel Hamilton for a position under | | the national administration. | The Justices signed their names, and { thought no more of the matter until | they learned that the petition request- | ed the administration to remove Colo- | nel Irish and replace him with Colonel Hamilton. Then some of them were neither slow nor quiet in expressing | their - indignation, and at once dis- patched a letter to President McKin- ley withdrawing their names from the Hamilton petition and paying a high compliment to Colonel Irish. The same course was pursued by many of the remaining Republican office-holders and other influential men in the party, and the petition, 'in consequence, has ‘bl‘(‘wme a very.lively boomerang, re- | turning from Washington to smite the Triumvirate in the neck. ‘While the signers were willing. to in- dorse Colonel Hamilton for some Fed- eral position, they were unwilling to ask for the removal of Colonel Irish. | _Colonel Hamilton has joined Colonel | Burns’ Senatorial lobby, and hopes to | be able to swing influence sufficient to | bring ‘about the removal of Colonel | Irish and the appointment of himself. | With this end in view he has been | working tooth and nail to drum up all ‘lhe votes he can for Burns. As has| | been already intimated, Collector | | Jackson is particularly anxious to have | Hamilton succeed Colonel Irish in order that a worthy member of the Jackson | family (may his tribé increase!) may be placed in the vacant cashiership. The colonel from San Bernardino ex- pects a few juicy plums in the event of the promotion to the United States | Senate of the colonel from Mexico. | The friends of Colonel Irish are boil- png hot over the underhanded work of | | the Triumvirate, and they promise that | | the Federal atmosphere will be foggy | with fur for some time to come.

In a circular issued Novem- ber 18, 1898, by W. G. Stafford, C. E. Bickford and M. A. Newell, the com- mittee on art, the prediction was made that the collectioa would be a notable one, as “All our artists offer new paintings.” The collection is indeed highly creditable, but the artists in fausic—the singers, the banjo players, the poets and the fiddlers do not** offer new paintings in goodly number.” Nevertheless, the singers, the poets, the writers and the players went to the opening of the picture show and congratulated their fellow artists on the success of the exhibition. A legion of ladies attended and admired the canvases of Hill, Harrison, Robinson, Stanton, Strong, Peters, Clawson and Solly Walter. The club was opened for visitors at 10 a. m., but the crush did not come until the middle of the after- noon. Among the artists contributing to the collection are: H. R. Bloomer, H. J. Breuer, Fred S. Butler, Guiseppe Cade- nasso, Emil Carlson, A. B. Chittenden, J. W. Clawson, R. H. Fletcher, H. S. Fonda, Marion Froelich, T. Alexander Harrison, Thomas Hill, C. A. Jorgen=: sen, C.

Stanton, Meyer Straus, Joseph D. Strong, Thaddeus Welch, Solly Walter. The picture holding the place of honor in the display is C. D. Robin- son’s canvas, “Going Out to Dewey,” and represents the departure of the first United States expedition from San Francisco, May, 1898, to uphold the honor of our flag abroad. The price indicated on the catalogue is $2000. T. Alexander Harrison's picture, PO000000000000900006000000060660 “The Brook,” attracted a deal of ad- miration from the visitors. The collection embraces 1% pictures painted by members of the club, and ten by non-members. On Wednesday, December 7, and Sat- urday, December 10, from 2 until 5 p. m., ladies will be welcomed to the exhibition upon presentation of cards. A prize of $100 will be awarded the painting chosen for that honor by a committee to be appointed by the pres- ident of the club on the closing day. —— DESPONDENCY AND DEATH.
