He defeated Frank Hisoook for Congress and went to the National body, where his worth was recognized by the party and in 1890 he was Obairman of the Republican Na- tional Congressional Committee, In the campaign of that year Mr, Belden was assailed by the papers for his “fat frying,” as bis collections were termed among the manufacturers, for the support of the party.

He sat up in bed and felt the night dress of some one near him while the hand held him, Buhler asked what was the trouble and struck a light. Standing near his bed with her throat out from ear to ear, unable to talk, her night dress soaked with blood, was his aged mother. For an instant the sight froze him to the spot. Then he called for the man who had been a father to him from the time Buhler was a little boy.
