Washington Tales of Politicians and a Notorious Tailor
A Washington Star piece recounts a camera-wielding observer’s days near the Capitol with anecdotes about Senator Sanders and Sen. Payne pranks, Blaine and Reed, and a kneecap-level chain gag. It also narrates a tailor’s遭urious client schemes, a compact chronicle of swindles, bluffing, and a con artist’s outing in Lafayette Square.
