Garfield's speech for Sherman helped Garfield to get the nomination, for himself, in the deadlock, although neither he nor 'anybody else at the opening of the convention had thought of him as a possibility. When Bryan made his "cross of gold” speech which stampeded the Chicago convention in 1896 he was not ostensibly, talking for himself nor did anybody in the con vention think of him in connection with the candidacy at the time he got up there to speak. Ke entered that convention as a member of a con testing delegation, and was unknown to the country at the time, though he had the Presidential bee in his bon net and was working for his own nom ination all the time that he was in the convention. , , „ . , . . .. , Champ Clark’s speech proposing lowest for.une wmch the cotton grow- .

These were fifteen years of comparatively stable financial and eco nomic conditions. From that time for ward, covering the next ten years, the where he succeeded the late Admiral Train in command of the Asiatic fleet. Few officers now In the navy have had more stirring adventures than has Rear Admiral Brownson. When he was midshipman in the old Mohegan. on the Pacific station, he had a brush with a gang of pirates that was quite as exciting and sensational as any chapter in yellow fiction. The Mohegan was cruising near JTatatlan. Mexico, when the citizens of that port appeal ?d to Captain Lowe, her commander, for protection against a freebooter, who was killing innocent citizens, looting unprotected towns and committing depredations ail along the coast. Lowe promised to look after th n(- rates and soon located them son where in an almost inaccessible clus ter of lagoons. When Captain Lowe discovered the snug harbor of the pi rates he detailed -Midshipman Brawn- son, with a boat’s crew, to hunt them down. When Brownson reached their refuge the pirate schooner appeared to be deserted. She looked as if sho had been abandoned, but the moment the Yankee soldiers clambered over the side of the vessel they were attacked by a volley from the limbs of the trees and other dense vegetation around them. The pirates, finding that they were pursued, had arranged an am bush, and climbed the trees, where they could command the deck of their schooner. » Realizing that he could not capture the culorlts under such a disadvantage. Brownson conceived a plan that was equally effective and much safer. He ordered his men below decks to escape the galling fire that was rouring upon them, and in a few moments started a dozen or more fires in the hold »f the vessel. As soon as they were ablaze he gathered up his dead end wounded, hurried them into his boat and got away from the scene os rapidly as possible. Before he was out of hearing the vessel was a mass of flames and the pirates were marooned in the swamp without ammunition or mod. All thefr sunplies and the htoty they hod brought away from their loot ing expeditions were consumed with the ship, find the local authorities wrp able to capture or kill all of them. The people of Meaat'nn expressed their gratitude by presenting Brownson with- a s’lver service bearing an appropriate Inscription.
