rapidly failing for some time past mr hood was one of the firm of bonanza kings whose rise from extreme poverty lo altluence is one of the romances of the age the other three were john vv mackav james

fortune until i860 when lie re moved to neva a where he has since resided and where be has it all times been extensively engaged in mining constructing huge quarts mills aiid | water works in 1h)7 he formed al copartnership with john v mackav lames i fair and william s o'brien which firm purchased the control of the bonanzas ; nd various other well known minis the yield of gold and silver from which while under the su periuteiidency of mr fair is estimated at about 250,000,000 mr flood was also extensively engaged in real estate and building in san francisco and was largely interested in various manufacturing enterprises on the i'a cih'e coast mr flood's wealth is estimated at about 25,000,000 his great fortune was originally acquired through the discovery of the existence of rich oiv.s at a great depth in the comstock lode a fact which was not then suspected lames j fair was superintendent for mr mackav and worked the diamond drill and when these lodes were struck by him in the california and consoli dated virginia claims worked by john : w mackay he was then shrewd enough to insist up m being let in the deal which was subsequently con summated with messrs flood and o'brien by which the stork nurket was cornered and the shares in these mines obtained for i son finally augmented into fabulous values flo hi & o'brien were at that time pro prietors of a famous saloon at san francisco an 1 had accumulated some capital by ventures in pointers in mining stocks and the immense wealth ot r this big four was acquired throii h their shrewd but quiet opera tions in

famous bank of nevada senator fair is a native of belfast scotch-irish by parentage mr mackav was born in dublin and belongs by birthstock to the people of the english isle it is a community of anglo-saxon origin : al ■ more than celtic by and since tl.eir original transfer to the green isle mr flood was from one of the central counties and mr o'brien was from the west of ireland mr fair i was th one member of the bonanza tii m who had a good early education i nd he got that in america he was brought here at 12 years of age and went to california when he was ]'.). mr mackay is the eon of a dublin physician who left his home at 14 to seek a fortune in the golden state mr flood belonged to the tenant farmer and small shop-keeper class and o'brien was of irish cotters and labor ing stock both of them were the se | niors of fair and mackay the latter j being the youngest and he is the brightest of the four all four of these men in the early ' fifties were not possessed of means j enough t i build even a san francisco shanty when in i860 messrs fa r and mackav went to work in washoe | a the co-ustock cuiup was ti ; t called the one as a foreman and the other as a laboring miner they had only their wages to de[>eud upon flood and o'brien were keeping a whisky saloon j the saloonkeepers were thrifty and ; sagnacious while the two miners were industrious and determined in the course of ten years the mining men were superintendents at 500 a month each and by cautious ventures had ac ' cumulated some means the exist ence of great deposits in the california and consolidated virginia mines was known to fair and mackav long be ■ f re the public had any idea thereof flood and o'brien were the business 1 friends of the two miners in some | way the share market was broken down and the holders of stock in the ' mines named were made anxious to j sell the operators who bought were the four men named when they came in contact a bonanzi was uncovered and tbev at once became enormously rich shares went from a few dollars ' to thousands jinl over from 1870 to 1879 230,000,000 was taken out of the ' comstock lode mr flood developed financial genius of a high order and this quality carried him to the head of ! the nevada b ink he launched ex tensively into house-building of which the most conspicuous example is his palace on nob hill san francisco the cost of which has run far into the millions the interior fitting and fur nishing is o real splendor the interior of the building is of the classic order of architecture composed of doric and io.iic placed on a mas sive podium with portico in front i fifty feet iodlt and porte cochere in the rear of similar dimensions the size of the building is v10 feet by 110 feet placed on a block 275 feet by 212 feet which is surrounded by a brown st iiio wall on three streets the same material as the mansion surmounted by a heavy bronze railing the grounds are entered through three massive bronze folding gates at

of this great republic mlbl moody presented a note tom folev the well-known billarj ist was in his prime on the top wave of success when d wight l moody came to chicago for the first time to hold his revival meetings one day while tom whs behind the bar having gone to help his men out during the noon rush the door opened and in cam moody he walked straight up to the b;ir and tom who did not know him ch iscd a little beer off the mahogony with a towel and asked vvhat'll it be sir the evangelist pulled a letter from his pocket and said mr foley i am lad that you have decided i o come over to ii

members of the mouse who has l>een most in demand daring this cam paign and who is consequently the hardest worked is mr mills of texas and yet he seems to have suffered the least of any from the continual strain which he has been undergoing for the last month most of the campaign orators who drop into washington for a few days rest an 1 recuperation are hoarse in voice and wearied in expres sion with mr mi'ls however this is not so and indeed his travels about the country seems to have much im proved his health which at the time of his departure was not of the best he has just come from a stumping tour through indiana and illinois and from a short visit to his own texas district his stay here will be very short for he has another long circuit to make before election day comes around he will spend a week in new york state and has engagements to speak on saturday oct 20 at onemita at cohoes on monday following new burg on tuesday buffalo on wednes day syracuse on thursday and at binghamton on friday the 20th on the 27th he commences a week's tour of new jersey speaking every night until nov 1 on which day he will run down to texas to be present on elec tion day in his own district speaking to the star correspondent of his prospects for re-election mr mills said that although the republi cans had worked hard and spent mon ey in his district he would have no trouble i shall be elected said he with an increased majority in lbsc the prohibitionists reduced my majority of 1s84 but that was because many dem ocrats who favored prohibition voted with them thinking that they would still be able to retain their democratic allegiance this year tin se men are all c uning back into our ranks and the prohibition vote will suffer according ly 1 ' how about djraoentie prospects in indiana and illinois 1 indiana is surely for us by fifteen or twenty thousand there is no doubt about the result there harrison is not popular in the state he has not the qualities to make him a good run ning candidate the workingmen say that in the question between labor and capital he has always been on the wrong side and they will vote against him on that account the tariif ques tion is also influencing large numbers of voters in favor ( f the democratic ticket many republicans have de clared their intention of voting for tariff reform and i have not heard of one well authenticated instance of a democrat leaving his party on this issue in indiana the tide has set in oar direction strongly and we will win easily the greatest interest is manifested in the campaign throughout the state and the scenes at political meetings bam 1 ,' description i scarcely saw a wagon in indiana which did not con tain a band of musicians or was not covered with the flag and other em blems of one or the other polical party farmers coining from the country to sell their products in the towns and pur chase goods had their conveyances dec orated in this way the ladies wear bandanna dresses there is not a glee club or singing society in the state i fancy whose services have not been se cured by either the democrats or kf publicans at one place where i spoke there were no fewer than eleven glee clubs on the ground all is excitement ami politics i the democrats feel confident of gaining three congressmen in indiana in this fight they will be in the first district which is now represented by general hovey the eighth which mr johns n represents and the twelfth or fort wayne district from which through a democratic schism mr white was returned in 18s;5 tiie republicans will make no congresional gains u in illinois the democrats claim to be able to carry the state for cleveland i am afraid they will nut be able to do that but they will i believe elect polmer governor they are making a splendid fight the tar iff is the all absorbing subject then and as in other states the converts to tariff reform are numerous around and in chicago especi illy is this the the case large numbers of promi nent republicans some of them em ploying many hands have come out for cleveland on this issue we will i believe g;iiu two congressional dis tricts in illinois mr morrison's old district now represented bv john bi ker will be regained and mr formal the democratic candidate will beat maker worse thin baker beat morrison the tenth district which in 1886 went republican and elected mr post by a plurality of oniv twenty-nine votes we will also gain 1 the general tone of mr mills's con versation was most confident the tariff he says is a winning card for the democrats

written his own doc uments and gone his own gait re gardless of all ordinary considerations of prudence and sometimes regardless even of those personal amenities and concessions to policy which have be come axiomatic with the best as with t he worst men in public life if he be defeated it will be because the iik chauisin of politics is more potent than the self-organizing capacity of the electors if lie be defeated it will be because he lacked those airs and graces which rather become the cour tier and the demagogue than the chi f magistrate of these united states applause if he be defeat ed
