The noisiest, the jolliest, the most ex- * citing and perhaps least logical earn-f, puign was that <>f 1840. William Hen-* ry Harrison, hero of an Indian victory at Tippecanoe, a plain old man who had lived, his opponents sneeringly said, in a log cabin decorated with coonskins and had drunk hard cider, was selected by Thurlow Weed as a better candidate than Henry Olay. The issues between Van Buren. the Democratic candidate, and Harrison were not clearly drawn, but the ad ventitious circumstances of Harrison's, early life were skillfully utilized for theatrical effects. I’rocesslons miles long with log cabins, cider barrels and coouskln caps on poles stretched from state to state. Glee clubs*were a fea ture of the campaign, and the Indian fighter was fairly sung into office. in the convention of 1860 began the modern custom of cheering and coun ter cheering. The Seward contingent gave a parade the day of the conven tion. While they were marching Lin coln supporters filled the Wigwam. With the naming of the candidates began the cheering. Murat Halstead said that when Seward w’as nominated and seconded "the shouting was ab solutely frantic, shrill and wild. Co manches or panthers never struck a higher note or gave screams with more infernal intensity. Ixwking from the stage over the vast amphitheater, noth ing was to be seen below’ but thou sands of hats—a black, mighty swarm of hats flying with the velocity of hor nets over a mass of human heads, most of the mouths of which were open.” But when Lincoln’s nomination was seconded the west was heard from. “I thought the Seward yell could not be surpassed,” said Halstead, "but the Lincoln boys were clearly ahead and, feeliug their victory as there was a lull in the storm, took deep breaths all around and gave a scream that was positively awful and accompanied it with stamping that made every plank and pillar in the building quiver.” On the third ballot Lincoln was nom inated. The shouting was so deafen ing that the canuon w’hich was dis charged on the roof of the building could not be heard inside. Chicago Record-Herald. Genuine Reform. ‘‘ I never was much of a reformer, ’ ’ said Mr. Billv Sanders; I’ve seen * \ so much reform that I’m sick of it. Maybe ef I could git a glimpse of the reel am genuine article' Cd like it better, but the only kind I’ve ever seer, is the kind the politicians trot out when they want office. You know it’s all buncomed by the way they open the’r mouth and see-saw the o'r wit’ hands. I had the idee that the issues :>f the last campaign was all for reform; the rum demon was to be lifted out wi’ a pa'r of ice- tongs, an’ the Cussed Corporations was to be belt up an’ skint alive. I aint even seed the tongs, an’ nuther have 1 seen the hide of the Cussed Corporations, but 1 hear tell that the skinnin’ has been done. Well, that satisfies my taste for blood all right, an’ now I want to see Ware of the onehoss politicians operated on for the’r appendixes. They'd feel much lighter and nimbler.” Joel Chandler Harris, in Uncle Remus’s —The Home Megazine for June. Pointed Paragraphs. The Kicker seems to be a neces sary evil. True friends are neither bores nor borrowers. Morality is always ready- to monopolize the spot light. The man who overestimates his greatness makes a great mistake. Many men’s goodness is due to the fact that they are not found out. All women are as old as they look, but few are as young as they* act. A man is willing to wait a long while for a woman who is worth while. Some people derive a lot of satis faction from thinking that they are thinking. The woman who is ambitious to become a society leader begins by leading her husband around by the nose.
