of Nicholas Cox.
Special Cqiinpontlenu' nf The Tribune
Washington, Deo. 21. The Hon. Wll
llnm I.orlmer, of Chicago, surprised
the minority members of tho house of
representatives on the oponlng day of
the session. Ho ulso surpthed fiilm
self. Sir. Larimer dollherntely walked
Into a Democratic caucus". It wits nut
done with malice prepense. The lions
adjourned about -I o'clock, utter list
ening to the reading of tho picsdileiiCn
message. The caucus wax held Im
mediately nfterwntd. A constituent
had sent In his, curd, and Latimer hud
left the chamber a few minute? bo
fore adjournment. He returned with
in a few moments, fancying the housj
still In session. On entering the lobby
door near the speaker's desk, appar
ently absorbed In thought, he mechan
ically moved toward bis seat. Thera
was a titter on the Poor as he entered
the main aisle. It brc.ime an outburst
of laughter as he still pursued his way
to his seat. Lordlier beard u strange
voice putting a motion at the desk
of tho presiding olllcer. lie turned on
his heel, and .seemed dumbfounded
when he saw Mr. Hay. of Vliglnlu.
wielding the gavel. Taking In the sit
uation at a glance, bo began to re
trace hi? steps.
"Oh, don't go, Loilmer." shouted
James A. Norton, of Ohio. "You're
entirely welcome. We're glad to have
yon with us."
Lorimer neither smiled nor lespond
ed to the courteous Invitation. Appar
ently absorbed In his own reileetlons
he passed through the baize doors
leading Into the speaker's lobby. He
disappeared amid cries of "Come
ft pa ill when you can't stay so long,"
and "Send In Maik Hinina!"
William Lorimer was placed liniM
de combat in the great national politi
cal contest last month. He was the
only prominent Republican seriously
wounded in that battle. For him it
was truly a battle royal. Through
sheer pluck be won the district from
the enemy six years ago by a plural
ity of 4,3W, defeating both ti Democrat
and a Popjjlist, although their com
bined vote showed a majority of 1,11
against him. He retained his grip
upon the district two years later by
a plurality of ti.T.'JG and a majotlty of
5.BSL Two years ago lie again won
,a victory by a plurality of ,'!,7!)r and a
majority or -MfiS. These defeat
taught the opposition a lesson. Last
month the Democrats and Populists
united on a candidate, and carried the
day after a desperate struggle, de
feating hint by over I'.uOO majoiity.
Lorimer was then the acknowledged
Republican leader in the city and
county, and was looming up as a
power In slate polities.
Lorimer is muscular and well-knit.
He has light blue eyes and a pine
Saxon complexion. HK thick flaxen
hnir and well-trinimed mustache re
call pictures of lite ild Anglo-Saxon
kings. A born ptditlc.il leadet, be has
absolute contiol of hi nerves, excel
lent Judgment, and great repei-vo force.
A master In political htiategy, he
never forgets that silence is golden,
and that eternal vigilance is the pile
nf political power. Ills career aptly
Illustrates the possibilities of political
llfo In America. It U peculiarly pic
turesque. Ho wen: to Chicago, a poor
Kngllsh boy, when only nine years
old. His father, a Pres-byteilau
clergyman, died a year afterward,
leaving his family almost destitute.
The boy promptly put his shoulder to
the wheel. He became a newsboy.
His first day's work netted hint a dol
lor. It was the ilrst money he had
ever earned. He turned It In toward
the support of his mother and sister.
From this time on lie was the main
stay of tho funilly. Fancying ho could
do better as a boot-black, he went
Into the business. He made morn
money than before, but the busbies.
was distasteful to his mother. Sho
seemed him a pla"o as an errand boy.
Tho pay was so small that he again
took up the sale of newspapeis, alter
nating It wllh his duties as it knight
of the brush.
A regular patron at this lime was
the Hon. Michael Kenn.t, who hns
since then achieved a national repu
tation under the sobriquet of Hlnkoy
Dink. When llfteen years Yild Lori
mer became a runner for a laundry,
and finally got work with a pork
packer. The employment, disagreed
with him, however, and lie obtained
a situation as it street car conductor.
ThtB lastetl live years. He became u
member of a. trade union, und was ac
tive in organizing a benevolent asso
ciation among his fellows. He also
hegan to develop a tnsto for politics.
An ardent admirer of James O, Hlniue,
lie took un active pun In proinottnir
hls aspirations to the presidency. Ho
complained bitterly of a lack of or
ganization among Ulalne's friends. On
the day of election for n long time lis
sought a Ulalno ticket In vain, Thoro
were no such tickets In his precinct.
Ho searched un adjoining precinct, und
finally obtained what ho sought.
Chagrined beyond expression, ho or
ganized a Republican club, There
were thirteen members. For months
thoy met In tho family kitchen. This
organization Is today the foundation
upon which tho party organization is
built. The young men hud no exper
ience In pructlcnl, politics. All thoy
wanted ivtw an opportunity to vote
for the men of their choice, Kmbold
etied by their success they made a
fight at tho primaries for delegates.
to the city convention, and won it. In
1885 I.orlmer hecume a member of tho
central committee, and has rotalned
file placo over since. In the following1
year ho was elected constable by 187
majority, lie afterward became as
sistant superintendent of water-pipe
xtenslon, and wound up us superin
tendent of the water office. These aro
the only political places be held prior
to hla election to congress. Ho sought
the nomination for county clerk, but
failed to secure it. Ho was nomin
ated for clerk of the Superior court,
but wri overwhelmed In the land-
Wide, Meantime, bo paid strict at ten-1
tlon to the ethics of reorganization.
He grew to gigantic political propor
tions, and finally became the master
workman of his party in Chicago. In
congress Lorimer promptly made Ills
mark not tts an orator, hut as a
shrewd and tireless worker. He as
trnirhed the veterans by temfilng old
clops now tricks. An appropriation for
tho construction of a new postofnee
In Chicago had been passed at a pre
vious session. It was evident that the
plans and specifications would be de
layed four years In the treasury de
partment, owing to a pressure of
work, Lorimer managed to crowd
through the house a bill appropriat
ing $20,000 to expedite the work of
the orchltert. It was done while tits
douse was dazed In a discussion over
the iiiles, and so deftly that the vete
rans of legislation are even today en
tirely unable to analyze the parlia
mentary projesH by which It was ac
complished. lorimer seldom takes the Hour, but
when he does enter the renlm of argu
ment talks slowly and deliberately,
measuring his words with great can;
and stating his propositions tersely and
explicitly. He makes no gestures and
resorts to none of the arts of oratory.
Such Is an epitome of the carper of
the man from Illinois treading in the
footstPps of Thomas C. Plntt and
Matthew S. Quay. He bids fair In time
to rival If not surpass both In political
power. He has developed all the finali
ties required In the business depart
ment of due political leadership. Like
Plutt and Quay, he may lose his seat
In congtessand travel the multifarious
avenues of politics unshorn of nower.
Indeed, he may gather strength from
defeat, and become stronger than ever.
The minority of the House lost many
killed and wounded in the late fight.
The one most depleted Is John J. Lentz,
of Columbus, Ohio. Lentz has more vim
mentally and physically, than Lorimer;
but he lacks Lorimer's balance and
judgment. Flgruativeiy, lie will attack
iinv thing from u wildcat to a bii7z
saw. He Is fully as handsome as Lori
mer, and far more self-conscious. His
face is a picture of determination, and
lie has the frame of an athlete. Above
everything else, he Is an orator. He
can soar Into the ..lue emnvrenn and
return to earth without dropping a
feather. When political discussions are
the order or the day, he roams the
tloor, looking for a fight, and usually
gets one. In a hot discussion, he is a
picturesque figure. There Is nothing
grotesque about him. He fights like a
man inflamed with passion and burst
ing with indignation. Paul Cassagnac
and Rochefort combined could not
create more excitement In the French
Corps Leglslatlf than can Lentz In the
United States House of Representatives
His bouts with his colleague, General
Grosvenor, have been singularly fre
quent and sanguineous. His abhor
rence of imperialism surpasses that of
either Wellington or Carl Schurz.
ICarly In the year his magnetism was
so great that he fairly hypnotized an
audience in Cooper Institute. They
broke Into loud cheers for Agulnaldo,
and stlrrpd Lentz to the acme of ora
toilcal effoit. It is said that It was
this speech that converted George S.
Poutwell to the faith, and led to the
stirring pronunclamento of the anti
Imperialists. The loss of such n man
Is irreparable to those wearied with
routine work and dreary discussion.
Mr. Lentz lias not appeared In the
House up to the present writing. It
has been said that he is editing some
country newspaper. Certain Is it that
he is as great in the newspaper Held as
In the oratorical field. Two years ago.
it is said that the editor of a small
countiy newspaper printed In ills dis
trict asked dm to contribute a brief
nrtcle on free silver. Within a few days
Lentz sent In the article. When put in
type it made forty columns. The edi
tor was paralyzed. He was unable to
mint nunc than a column and a half
at a time. After a consultation wild
ills foreman tdey decided to pi bit it
in sections. The pages of the manu
script got mixed up and they minted
on one week a section from the begin
ning of the article and the next week
a section from the end of It. This was
continued for several months, until all
was printed. Whenever advertising
was short and there was a vacancy
in the news columns, the editor shout
ed to his foreman, "Snip a piece off
I i am Lentz and fill In with It. It's a
dandy, and everybody Is buying the
paper to find out what it means,"
Lentz. however, like a true gentle
man, never complained, and sent the
editor. In recognition of his kindness,
a copy of President Cleveland's last
message. Lentz has been a close fighter
in the Twelfth Ohio district. lie won It
in ISO by a plurality of 40 votes. Re
elected two years afterward by a plu
rality of T0J votes, he lost the district
lust month by 9 votes. When President
McKlnley was governor of Ohio ho
appointed Lentz n trustee of the Ohio
University.
Nicholas X. Cox, of Franklin, Tenn.,
Is not among the killed and wounded.
He has released himself from volun
tary servitude in the House. Judge Cox
is the successor of Washington C.
Whlttdorne, a statesman of natlonul
renown. Cox Is said to have sought
the place for ten years. He seems to
have enjoyed the service, although nt
the end of ten years lie voluntarily re
linquishes It. He setves on the military
committee with Lentz and Sulzer, and
Is regarded us one of the breeziest
characters In the House. He Is also an
esteemed member of the oommltten on
banking and currency. Joseph H.
Walker was Its chairman after Cox
appeared upon tdu committee. Mr.
Walker dad a keen appteelatlon of Mr.
Cox's services, and Cox reciprocated.
Hoth thoroughly understood the finan
cial situation and neither found a
panacea. The only satisfaction they
derived from a consideration of tde
subject was the enjoyment of each
otder's society, A hard and eonselen
clous worker In committee, Judge Cox

In debate, Holman was known as the
great objector; Cox muy well he termed

attention to nil that Is going on and
seems to be. well posted on every Im
portant subject. His queries would
puzzle the most expert political savant,
and his sallies In leturn are simply In
imitable. Tho Judge's speech against
the army bill das thus fur been the
gem of tho session. It convulsed the
House with merriment und nearly non
plussed tho chairman of tho military
committee. He has been a worthy rep
resentative of his constituency in many
ways, and his retirement Is deeply re
gretted. These are three of the ninety-odd
members who will not appear in the
Fifty-seventh congress. Each has In
dividualized himself In the House, and
