Maine Eleotion.
Augusta, September 14.—The figures
so far received seem to indicate the elec
tion of Plaisted by about 1,000 majority.
In the Senate the Republicans will have a
majority of at least ten members and pos
sibly eleven, as it is thought Brown, one
of tne Fusion candidates in Somerset, is
defeated. The Republican majority in
the House will be from twenty to twenty-
five. Kennebec returns, with two small
towns to hear from, which gave a Re
publican majority of six last year, show a
Republican majority of 1,070; Lindsey s
majority in the third district is about 500.
Twelve out of thirteen representatives in
Kennebec are Republican—a gain of one
Republican from last year.
Boston, Sept. 15.—The following re
turns, uuder date of September 14, were
received at a late hour last night:
Portland, Me., Sept. 14.—Two Repub
lican and six Fusionist representatives
are elected in Waldo county. Denmark
elects William Borne, Republican, repre
sentative. Three hundred and twenty-
four towns give Davis 03,440, Plaisted 61,-
030, scattering 316. The same towns last
year gave Davis G0,0S5, Smith 30,753,
Garcelon 18,802, scattering 254. The ma
jority of Davis is 2,037 against 1,716 last
year—a Republican gain of 321. The
towns to hear from last year gave Davis
0,028, Smith and Garcelon 11,609, scatter
ing 60, which would leave the Republicans
723. There is a report of a majority for
the Fusionists of 01, but there are no re
turns from them, and the vote is so close
that it is impossible to guess from that.
If the constitutional amendments should
not be adopted, or if found unconstitu
tional on account of being retroactive,
which question has been suggested, the
election will probably go into the legisla
ture, which, at last reports, stands nine
teen Republicans to twelve Fusion in the
Senate, and eiglity-six Republicans to six
ty Fusion in the House, and the Republi
cans will elect a United States Senator,
who will, of course, be a Republican.
The figures arc so close that only an offi
cial count can decide the result, unless
decided gains are made on one side or
the other in the remaining towns. Ow
ing to errors which must occur in the re
turns received in this way, even the dif
ference between the State officials and
that of the legislative committee, may
change the result, so that we can only re
port the result as uncertain.
Portland, Sept. 14—Midnight.—We
have still 180 towns to bear from, mostly
small and remote place;. Of these there
are in Aroostook county 40, Franklin 11,
Hancock 13, Kennebec 13, Knox one, Ox
ford eight, Penobscot 32, Piscattaqua one,
Somerset 18, Waldo three and Washing
ton 28. Many of these mo plantations
throwing but a few votes.
The aggregate vote last year was 139,-
270. This year it increased a little, to the
extent of 5 per cent, so far as received,
and if the remaining towns increase in tire
same ratio the aggregate will reach 140,-
800, of which the Republicans should
have about 73,000, the Fusionists about
73,800, an 1 scattering about 500. More
remote Fusion districts have to-n’glit
brought in Republican gains. The Fu
sionists will pronably have a very small
plurality, which will elect Plaisted, if the
amendments are adopted.
Bangor, Sept. 15.—With the exception
of two representative districts which the
Fusionists gain, the representation from
this county, (Penobscot) will stand the
same as last year. Aroostook county will
have 100 less Fusion majority than last
year and Ladd’s majority will be greatly
reduced.
Portland, Sept. 15.—The Congres

1,841. The same towns last year gave Da
vis 02,643, Smith 42,106, Garcelon 18,838
and scattering 200. Total 123,847. Republi

heard from gave Davis 0,470, Fusionists

lack 042 of a majority and Fusionists will
lack 166 of a majority.

mills the rales do not require that notice
shall be given.
The Oldham cotton spinners havo had
a meeting and have resolved to ran their
mills only four days in the week. The
resolution was taken by the masters and
limited companies as an experiment, and
will continue one month. The short time
will commence next week.
At a meeting of cotton masters at Lan

London, .September 15.—The Man
chester Guardian, in its commercial arti
cle this morning, says an upward move
ment in raw cotton is threatened. The
strike of the weavers and the prospect of
short time in the Oldham district have
unsettled the market to such an extent as
to seriously interfere with the transaction
of business. While the above mentioned
causes impart strength to holders, buyers
Lavo so recently been able to supply their
wants cheaply that they are under no
pressing necessity to purchase. Busi
ness, therefore, was quite small for Tues
day. Foreign advices show little change.

is confirmed by later telegrams, but it is
impossible to ascertain whither Prince
Nikita accompanies them. One of his
aides-de-camp passed throngli Ragusa to
day. He had been in consultation with
the Austrian officials, and the movement
of the Montenegrins appears to be the re
sult of this consultation.
The French admiral has exchanged sa
lutes and visits of ceremony with other
commanders of the internat ional fleet. He
appears to have no definite instructions,
and places himself under the British Vide
Admiral Seymour.
London, September 15.—A dispatch
from Rome to the Times says the instruc
tions to all the commanders of the inter
national fleet except the French state that
in case operations which may have po
litical consequences become necessary, the
British Vice-Admiral Seymour must con
fer with his colleagues, but neither he nor
they will be required to refer to their
governments before resolvius on whatever
course may be expedient. This liberty of
action extends even to the bombardment
of Dulcigno. The instructions, however,
strictly forbid the lauding ol men.

boll worms are very general.
CORN.
The average condition lor the
whole country is 01, a decline of 7 per
cent, since the returns of August 1st, and
4 per cent lower than September 1st,
1879. The New England and South At
lantic Slates fall short of the average,
about 2| per cent. The Middle, Gulf
and Pacific States are above tie average,
The great corn regions of the Missouri
slopes show a marked deficiency.

The Gully TnaL
Scooba, Miss., September 15.—The case
against Henry Virgil and Houston Gully
for the killing of Mr. Gilmer was taken
up yesterday in the Circuit Court of Kem
per county on motion of the State. At
the last term a severance was granted Vir
gil, and Houston Gully is now on trial.
The jury was completed late yesterday,
consisting of eleven white and one colored
The examination of witnesses will
begin to-day. District Attorney Ford, as
sisted by Judge Ware, is conducting the
prosecution. Tlios. S. Wood®, S. M.
Meek and Jas. Watts are representing
the defense.
Dekalb, Miss., Sept. 15.—The trial of
Virgil and Houston Gully, on the charge
of murdering John P. Gilmer in 1S77,
is progressing. The State has closed its
case. The first plan of the prosecution, to
establish a conspiracy, was abandoned,and
no attempt was made to day to prove a
conspiracy. The State’s proof thus far is
that Virgil Gully fired the first and sec
ond shot at Gilmet-, but there are mate
rial contradictions in the testimony. The
defense is introducing witnesses rapidly to
contradict the State’s testimony. They
have shown that Virgil fired neither the
first nor the second shot, because they
were in conversation with him at the time,
and that Virgil dil not shoot at him. One
witness (Hooper) for the State testifies
that he was in jail at the time Gilmer yras
killed, and saw Houston Gully shoot at
him after he was down. The jail was up
wards of800 yards from the scene.
Witness Harvey testified that Houston
Gully was near him all the time; that
Houston had no gun, and he is certain he
did not shoot at Gilmer. Witness Wad
dell testified that after the second shot he
saw William Gully ran out of the back
door of his store in the direction Gilmer
had gone, and after raising his gun to his
shoulder immediately disappeared from
view behind the corner of tho store.
In an instant after this he heard
a gun fire at the back of tbat house. This
was the third and last shot. He supposed
at the time that Wm. Gully fired it, but
was not certain. The defense closed
here. The court adjourned till to-morrow
morning for counsel to prepare instruc
tions, after which they will go to the juiy
with their arguments.

tion.

order at 11:10 a. m. E. F. Stone, chair
man of the State Central Committee, was
made temporary chairman. In the course
of his remarks on taking the chair, Mr.
Stone said: “In the South wo find no
such differences In sentiment on questions
of finance and of governmental reform as
exist in the North. It Is because the
South is bound to make all questions sub
ordinate to the permanent question of
bow to again get control of the govern
ment of the country. [Applause]. The
South is united upon all political ques
tions, and we know what this means and
what must bo done to compel tho South to
recognize the -legitimato authority of the
government. This i3 our first duty. We
may differ upon other questions, but we
must insist that the power and authority
of the government shall stand.’’ The

tions, credentials and resolutions were ap
pointed. Gov. John D. Long was re
nominated by acclamation. Byron Wes
ton, of Dalton, was nominated for lieuten
ant-governor.
Worcester, Sept. 15.—In tho Massa
chusetts Republican convention, after the

form was adopted which expresses a de
sire fora cordial feeling of friendship be
tween the States and citizens of the Union,
and a willingness to make any concession
save that of principle to accomplish snch
a result; rejoicing that the Southern
States have, notwithstanding great dis
advantages, made substantial progress in
material wealth, and expressing hope that
time will soon heal wounds made by
strife; declaring that so long as colored
or any other citizens of Jhe United States
are prevented by intimidation or violence
from tiie exercise of free discussion or
free suffrage, Republicans would enter
loud and constant protest. The platform
also favors the continued coinage of stiver
while the monetary relations of gold and
silver remain as now. After the adop
tion of the platform, the convention ad
journed sine die.

firm grasp of the Democrats. Tho elec
tion of our Presidential ticket is assured.
Across our border we see again a star in
the east, shining all the more brightly be
cause it has for a quarter of a century
been below the horizon. Maine has
spoken to her sister States in a voice tbat
canuotbe misunderstood. New Hamp
shire will heed that voice and ratify your
discreet action by giving a decisive major
ity at the polls for the constitution and
Union, for Hancock and English, at the
‘ides of November.’”

of Frank Joues, of Portsmouth, as candi
date for Governor, and after a short

tion and invite him to address the conven
tion. Resolutions were then adopted en
dorsing the Cincinnati platform, pledging

tion of Hancock and English, and com
mending the candidate for Governor to
the people. The convention t,heh ad

Wholesale Lynching.
JfAsirvTLLK, Tenn., Sept. 15 A let
ter from the adjoining county of Robert
son, says seven negroes have been arrested
as implicated in the murder of one Lee
Laprade. One of the negroes was taken
to Saddlerville ou Sunday. It is reported
that be has confessed, naming his accom
plices.
A special from Springfield to the Amer
ican, says: “At twelve o’clock Tuesday
night, a mob of one hundred armed men
came into town and began to batter in
the doors of the jail, containing two ne
groes charged with the murder of Old
man Laprade. Four of the suspected ne
groes were in the hands of the mob, and
two others in jail. Also a negro named
Joe Ramsey, who murdered a Miss Holt.
The following special is seut to tho
American this morning:
“Guthrie, Kg., Sept. 15, 2:30 a. m—Jim
Higgins, one of tho ’Laprade murderers,
was captured at Paducah a few days ago
and brought to Saddlerville for trial. He
made a lull confession yesterday that
there were seven more negroes implicated
in the murder. The trial was not ended
and the parties were put under guard at
Saddlerville last night. This morning at
10 o’clock a masked party of fifty men
were seen half a mile from Saddlerville
armed with shotguns and holding consul
tation. Twenty men were seen passing
here at 12 o’clock going toward Saddler
ville and no doubt they will lyuch the
seven negroes before morning.
Springfield, Ky, Sept. 15, 3 A. m.—
Arch Jamison aud Jack Bell were taken

securely and then drove out of the town.
Everything was done quietly. The citi
zens went to the jail alter the mob had
left and found Ramsey lying on the floor
dead and perfectly riddled with bullets.
Who composed the mob is not known.
They went west on the Clarksville road.
Some of the citizens asked where they
would find tho prisoners. Tho mob re
marked tbat the buzzards would
find them. It is said tbat 'all the
negroes will be hanged together. Tho

An Experimental Farm.
At the late convention of the State Ag
ricultural Society at Hartwell, a resolu
tion was offered by Major S. M. H. Byrd
which recommended that the surplus funi
arising from the fees for the inspection of
fertilizers be appropriated to the pur
chase and maintenance of one* or
more agricultural farms in the State. Af
ter a spirited discussion, and under the
influence of an ad captandum speech by
Col. James M. Mobley, the resolutions
were laid on the table by a small majori
ty. Too much reliance was placed, by
the advocates of the resolutions, on the
argument tbat, as the fees, in the end, are
paid by tho farmers, the surplus, after
paying the expenses of inspection, should
bo devoted to the benefit of farmers,
This would be a perfect argument, if
such a surplus was an unavoidable inci
dent to inspection.
A reduction of the amount of the fee
prescribed for inspecting each ton of fer
tilizers would be the most simple and
natural means of preventing such surplus;
and if full and exact justice is desired, the
fee might be reduced to a mere nominal
sum, or abolished altogether, until the
large excess over expenses of inspection
now in the treasury be consumed in pay
ing future expenses. In this way the very
class of farmers—those who purchase fer
tilizers—if not every individual of that
class, would be reimbursed for the excess,
of fees paid over cost of inspection.
The employment of weak or easily an
swered arguments should generally be
avoided in the advocacy of any measure,
They have the effect of diluting the
strength or force of the whole train.
It should be shown that the establish
ment of such experimental farms would
be very likely to result in great benefit to
the farmers of Georgia. Experiment is
the final, conclusive test of the soundness
of theory. Every intelligent farmer un
derstands this proposition, aud it is tbs
constant rule of practice with every pro
gressive farmer.
But one or two experiments are not or
dinarily sufficient to establish any reliable
conclusion. On account of the multiplic
ity of their duties, but more than all tho
necessity of keepiug steadily in view-tho
chief object of their efforts—the support
oi themselves and families—farmers gen
erally do not obtain very satisfactory re
sults.
Experiments are often costly and fre
quently result in immediate Joss. The
risk of loss is often too great to justify in
dividual effort at learning the truth.
Moreover, comparatively few fanners are
qualified, by nature and education, for
projecting and prosecuting experiments to
such conclusions a3 will be acceptod as au
thoritative and reliable.
An extensive knowledge of agricultural
chemistry, aud the laws of vegetable and
animal growth, as well as practical expe
rience in the operations of the farm, is
necessary to tho successful conduct of ex
tensive agricultural experiments.
It will hardly bo denied tbat the estab
lishment of one or more experiment sta
tions in Georgia, under proper manage
ment, would be very productive of bene
fit to the farmers of tho State. The re
sults of carefully conducted and often re
peated experiments in fertilization, cul
ture, tests of difieront varieties of farm amt
gardeu seeds, renovating crops, the breed
ing of live stock, fattening of animals,
would furnish a fund of authoritative iu-
tormation that would be au invaluable
guide to every farmer iu the profitable
management of his farm.
The director of an experimental faym
should not be embarrassed by considera
tions of mere business profit and loss iu
conducting his work,' but should have at
his command a reasonable sum of money
—sufficient to render him independent.
A strict accsuut, however, should be kept
of every transaction. In many experi
ments the immediate profit and loss is the
question to which an answer is desired.
It cau be easily shown, if necessary,
tbat it is the duty of the State to foster
its great productive interests by appro
priating money, whenever and wherever
there is a strong probability tbat a large
class of the population, or a largo section
of the State will bo greatly benefited;
when the increased value of property or
increased profits of business, will surely
return the amount taken from the treasu
ry iu taxes.
The Legislature is composed of repre
sentatives of the people of the State. The
;reat mass of the people are fanners. Tho
bulk of the taxes are paid by the farmers.
The money in the treasury belongs to the
people composed so largely of farmers;
aud the farmers ought to demand that
their representatives shall make appropri
ations for the development of the interest
on which all prosperity is based, and hold
them to a strict account for failing or re
fusing to carry out instructions.
Wo tliiDk it can be demonstrated that
almost the entire burden of government,
taxation aud public duties included, falls
at last on the farmer; but will not now
pursue the argument.—Christian Index.
Judge Warner as a Partisan.
In his Greenville speech he discloses
the reasons tbat induced him to tender
ins resignation. He charges that Governor
Colquitt, iu his defense, had assailed the
decisions of the Supreme Court, aud was
seeking to degrade that Court by bringing
it uuder censure of the people. In point
of fact, thi3 is not true. When it was
sought to show that tho Supreme Court,
by its decision, had hold that the Gov
ernor £ad not done hi3 duty, the friends
of Governor Colquitt met the charge, and
iu so doing, indulged in comments upon
that decision. That decision—or,^nore
iroperly, the second point in' the case—
leld that it was the duty of Governor
Colquitt to have placed in tho treasury
the $198,000.00 drait, and aliow the Leg
islature to appropriate the money to pay
tho lawyers’ fees; that if this had been
done, the amount of $3,000.00 due the
State by Alston would have been saved.
It was insisted by the friends of Gov
ernor Colquitt thatthis point did great in
justice to his official conduct. First,
that - 'Governor Colquitt was not before
the court with the full facts of that trans
action; that it did not then appear;
that when Governor Colquitt got posses
sion of the draft tbat he agreed to pay the
lawyers their fees, so that when he did
get it, he did so as their agent, as well as
the agent of theState;chat he did then rec
ognize their lien on it for their fees, which
he afterwards paid, and paid the truo
amount duo the State into the treasury—
aud tbat he did what was right and proper
iu placing iu the treasury only the money
of the State.
No assault was madeuponthe decision.
It wa3 right upon tho facts before the
court—but it was unjust, because all the
facts were not beforo the court.
It was insisted that at tbe time that Al
ston was paid his part of the fee that no
liquidated amount had been made out
agaiust him; that he had given a bond
aud good security as.State printer, and ho
had then no reason to suppose that the
State would suffer by his default; tbat no
application was then made by his sureties
to have the money paid in discharge of tho
debt due the State; that it could not be
seen by the Governor that the payment
of the money to Alston would increase
the liabilities of his securities, for tho pre
sumption was that Alston would pay his
debts.
It was also insisted by Gov. Colquitt’s
friends, that as this $5,000 had been
loaned by Gov. Smitb, under a resolution
of the legislature, to Alston, as an advance
to him as public printer, it was right and
proper that it should remain until hi* ac
counts as printer were audlteiL
What is there in all this that it should
excite all the wrath and indignation he
has exhibited. Is it possible that when
Ilis Honor, wrote out the second point in
that case (which w&3 net demanded by
the necessities of the case) that lie did in
tend to make an incurable wound 'upon
the Governor—that he had been thwarted
in his purposes ? I do hope not. Or is it
that he i3 so impressed with the sacred
character of tbe judgments of that coart,
that it is impious for any one to say aught
against them. Does he believe that they
are like the laws ot tbe Medes and Per
sians—irrevocable and unchangeable. If
thus, when did they so become ?
The true rale is tbat the judgment of
that court is the law of that case, and is
binding upon the parties to the case and
is authority to be observed as precedent
by all subordinate State tribunals in all
similar cases. How often has that court
changed its own decisions? And this
is right. Ail tribunals tbat are human are
frail and liable to err because they are
human. The only redemption that man
has from the “fate of the fall” is the power
that impells him to do right when he finds
that he lias done wrong. Burns iu his
advice to his friend had the true picture
on his mind:
“But oh! mankind are unco weak,
Aud little to be trusted;
If self tbe wavering balance shake,
It’s rarely right adjusted.”
If pride of opinion or any less honora
ble motive stands in the way of tbe honest
workings of the human soul in its search
of truth, then the follies of youth will be
crystallized into the code of maturer
years. The only chance to be right is to
do right where we have done wrong, and
are made conscious of it—aud this is the
only safe rule, even though we could start
life with the wisdom of Solomon, aud live
to the age of Methuselah.
Judge Warner, in his speech, replies to
the question of lien by the attorneys, and
says the Governor could not give a lien
because he' is a trustee, anil stood as
an administrator or other trustee, and
could not thus contract. Our reply to
this is that the lien of an attorney is not
created by contract; it arises by operation
of law from the relation of parties—like
the lien ol the State for taxes, the lien of
laborers and mechanics (which the law
imposes from motives of wise policy), aud
based upon tbat great lesson iu the good
Book—“Thou ahalt not muzzle the ox'that
treadeth out the corn.” •
Does the Judge intend to say that if an
attorney recovers property or money for
an estate, or is successful in defending
claim for property belonging to a trustee,
tbat he has no lien upon the recovery be
cause tbe representatives of tbe estate
could uot thus contract for a lien. If so,
he is in conflict with the express provisions
of the code. (See section 1989-81,1977.)
Does he mean to teach that a landlord has
no lien for rent because he reuts to a trus
tee ? or that a laborer or mechanic loses
his lien when he works for au estate ? If so,
he is in conflict with the code and quite a
number of decisions of tbe Supremo Court
in which they have boen recognized aut
enforced. (See code.)
Thus it is that we are reminded how
easy it is for a good judge to go astray
when he leaves the beuch aud attempts
the part of a partisan.
But the Judge seeks to hold the Gov
ernor liable for the violations of law by
the State House officers. He says that
two of them were impeached for dere
lictions of duty, and a third one escaped
by resigning. How is this? The con
stitution provides that au officer cannot
escape impeachment by resignation.
Has the Judge forgotten this—or was he
mad and reckless? Does ho not know
that uuder the uew constitution, officers
appointed by the Governor are not im
peachable, that tboy cau be removed by
tho Governor without impeachment.
Does he not know that tho commissioner
of agriculture is anappoiutee of the Gov
ernor? Had ho inquired into the facts
well as the law, he would uot thus
have douo gross injustice to a good
aud faithful officor, for bo would have
found tbat the Governor did not receive
the resignation of Dr. Janes as commission
er until he was assured by the committee
who has his office under investigation
that there was no evidence of auy bad
conduct ou his part.
I feel inclined to pass unnoticed the
fling that he gives the court in the intima
tion that, in his absence and with the va
cancy filled, it could do tbe work of the
Governor’s bidding, for this is in bad
taste, and shows tbat the old man is
troubled with the weakness that some
good old public officers have been afflicted
with—that tho State will bo lost wheu
they are dead. What a mistake this is !
This State will live aud grow iu greatness
aud glory wheu all its officers are num
bered with the things that shall bo for
gotten. But the Judge charges that the
Governor has no right to pay lawyers’,
fees unless an express provision is made
by the Legislature by a special appropria
tion. “A Member of the Bar” has so
fully met this charge that I shall uot re
peat. But'let me call the attention of the
Judge to the fact that ho is mistaken in
supposing that Governor Smith employed
Alston & Co. under the power given uu
der section 63 of the code. It the Judgewill
.examine ho will see that this applies only
to cases to bo brought in the courts of
this State, and is a late act, aud (if I am not
mistaken) it was passed long after this
contract was ttrst made by Governor Bul
lock. The authority for the Governor to
employ agents and attorneys for the State
is under the act of 1S4G, section 74 of the
code. This is full and plenary, and this
says nothing about conditional fees.
The Judge's definition of a conditional
fee is certaiuly now. How did ho ever
get the notion ? There is no authority for
it in any book to justify It. “ No cure, no
jay“No recovery, no fee,”is the man-
fest meaning of the law. To slate the
question is to arguoit; and no one, ex
cept an excited advocate in a bad case
and in a heavy strain, would go into
such a hole.” But he insists that no
money can be drawn out of the treasury
by tho Governor unless it is appropriated
by law. This is true, aud always has
been. The Legislature has always pro
vided, by special appropriation, a contin
gent fund, aud placed it subject to tho or
der of the Governor, to enable him to pro
vide for all emergencies that may arise
during a recess of the Legislature. It is
from this fund that tbe Governor has al
ways drawn for the payment of lawyers’
fees, rewards, incidental expenses, and
such other claims as are assumed for the
purposo of maintaining tbe government
of the State. The disbursement of this
fund is the matter of investigation by the
finance committee, and if not approved it
is correated by the Legislature. It is but
seldom that the fees of lawyers are passed
upon by the Legislature, and never ex
cept when the contracts are made by a
predecessor, and the Governor being in
doubt as to his duty, seeks instruction
from the Legislature. This has always
been the usage, and is observed to this
day. It is constitutional and regular.
Judge Warner is tho first and only man
tlfat' has opposed it. The error, if auy,
was with his patriotic Legislature that
impeached everybody and everything tbat
was supposed to be liable to such treat
ment. But there is nothing wrong in it.
But the Judge’s speech was made for
home consumption. It was not intended
for close criticism, for it will not bear it,
and I leave him in his dying effort to
bring back to his confidence ana support
those old friends and neighbors who see in
to havo fallen so much in love with tbe
great favorite of the people. Old Meri
wether holds many wise and true men
who have “heads of their own,” and
would not he apt to confide so much to
tho partisan teacher as they would to the
faithful judge. “Olustbe."

BlufUatr til* Crowd.
Scon after dinner the other day seven
or eight politicians were smoking and
chatting under the Wtfodward avenue
portico of the city hall, wheu they were
joined by a long-haired, mild-looking,
loug-waisted stranger, who seemed just
dead with consumption. He leaned
agaiust one of the stune columns and lis
tened to the talk for a few minutes, aud
exhibited no great interest until oue of
the party asserted his belief that Garfield
would carry Ohio.
“How much d-d-do you want to bet
that he will ?” inquired the stranger as he
straightened up. *“
“O, I wouldn’t mind a bet of ten dol
lars.”
“I’ll bet you one thousand dollars
against two li-huudred,” continued the
stranger, as he weut dowu into his coat
tail pocket and fished up an enormous
wail of money.
The politician crawfished, on the
ground that he never bet, and the stran
ger looked around aud asked:
“Is there anybody h-bere who w-wants
to b-bet that Hancock will bo ’l-lected ?
I’ll b-bot him a t-tbousand to five h-huu-
ilred!”
There were no takers. Then he waved
his wad of bills on high and said:
“I’ll m-make the same b-bet that Gar
field will be defeated!”
The crowd looked at each other and
then across the street, each man as dumb
as a clam. The silence lasted for a min-
ute, and then oue of tho group remarked:
“Well, it will probably be a close strug
gle.”
“W-will it? I’ll bet you a thousand to
five li-huudred that it won’t b-be!”
promptly replied the stranger.
No one spoke again for thirty seconds,
and then the remark was made that both
parties were preparing fur a great struggle.
“Struggle b-be durued! I’ll b-bet you
five b-liundred to three h-hundrod that
there won’t be any struggle!”
One or two men shoved their hands in
their pockets and jingled their keys, but
it ended right there. When the si
lence had grown painful, the consump
tive asked:
“Do auy of you g-gentleznen notice any
impediment iu my speech ?”
“Yes,” they all replied together.
“P-put up your m-money—oue t-thou-
saud to two li-huudred that I don’t stut
ter any more than any of y-you!” ex
claimed the man as ho began to uutie the
string around his roll of bills.
Not a baud moved, aud iu a minute the
stranger waved Ins money aud said:
“Or I’ll b-bet you five hundred eyon up
that Ido s-s-stutter like blazes!”
Oue hacked softly iuto tho hall, fol
lowed by a soooud and a third, aud iu .a
minute the stranger was left alone. Then
he untied the string, pulled two oue-dol-
lar bills oil tho roll aud put them iu his
pocket aud threw away the “core,” which
wa3 simply a wad of blank paper. He had
bluffed the crowd over and over again on
exactly two dollars—Detroit Free Press.
