State Defeats and National Nomina.
tions.

Some Of our Republican cotempora-
ries affect to believe that the late
failure of Mr.. Pendleton to be elected
Governor, in a Republican State
where the average Republican ma
jority has been 10000 to 40, 900 for
some years, and where he has TAX
en- off 10000 odd of the 10000 ma
jority of last year-efectpally dispos-
es of all his future political prefer
sions. Let us. see about that. We
have a few instances in point that
may be of service as throwing light
on this question. In 1885, gentle
man, Abrai am LincolI by name.
whose residence was, N the State of
Illinois, was a candidate for the Uni
ted States Senate against S. a. Doug
las. They carIvassed the State to-
gether, the ? Ame as it, they had been
running FIR Governor. In fact each
of then. had been nominated by his
partE for that office.
In 1860, Mr.. Lincoln, whom the
Democracy had buried for Senator,
was resurrected by the Republicans,
and was nominated and elected Pres
ident of the United States. In 1864,
Mr.. Horatio Seymour was a candi-
date for Governor of New York
He was beaten by a majority of 49,;
900 by Reuben E. Fenton. This
did not SEEM, however, to prevent
his nomination in 1868 for President
by the Democracy. In 1874. James
K. Polk, of Tennessee, was nomina-
ted.and elected as q Democratic can
didate FIR President, despite the fact
that, in 1871 and I843, he had been
beaten for Governor by James @.
JOKES. There are other instances
moi quite as notable which could be
| cited if it were necessary. The the
DRY that a candidate is to be political
" discarded if he fails to carry his
own State, would be an excellent one
for those of our political friends who
happen to live in Democratic States.
But it would not be so charming to
those of us who are in Republican
| States, where.there is a large party
majority against us 1t lis a theory
which would dispose of the preten-
tons Of all Democrats in every old
free State from Maine to Oregon, ex-
cept in New York, New Jersey, Ore
gon and California, which just at pres
ent are in the Democratic category.
For ourselves we cannot conceive of
much personal injury to a gentleman
who, like MI. Pendleton, has reduced
the Republican majority some three
fourths of its average strength.
While the destrHction-of the whole
majority would have been most graft
flying, we can hardly find fault with
the candidate who disposes of so
much of it, because owing to the
party weakness, he was not able to
do more Gin. Enquirer,

How the Women Worsted a Bishop.

S. Barring Gould, in his Curiosities
of OIden Times, gives the following ac-
count of an alteration between Bish-
op Salazar, of Chiapa, and the wo-
men of his congregation "The w o
men of Chiapa we're SO addicted to the
use of chocolate that they would nei-
Their hear low mass or high mass, or a

against the practice, but the women
looked up at the pulpit with unim-

chocolate, then wiped their lips, and
put7out their hands for some comfts.
The Bishops voice thrilled shriller
and louder-he looked an apostle in

. Speedy Marrisge-AA Clergyman
Competing with a Railroad Train.

From the Boston Traveller, OctobprR. .
An amusing wedding ceremonyt took
place In Lawrence recently. The
bride was from Maine, and was expects
ed to arrive in town on the seven O'Clock
train. and the services of one ofiour
clergymen had been engaged. to unite
them the same evening. 1t so hap
pened that the reverend gentleman
had an engagement in Boston that
same evening, and wished to take the
train upon which the bride was ex-
pected. How to accommodate the
anxious couple and yet meet his en-
gagement was a hard question for ever
his fertile mind. 1t was proposed by
a friend to meet the train in North
Andover. and after explaining matters
to the bride take the couple into the
Lawrence Depot and perform the GER
emory while the train wa stopped.
Although. his plan was feasible, it
made the, affair a little too public, and
another arrangement was finally agreed
upon. The bridegroom was to have
a carriage at the Lawrence Depot, and
take the bride Immediately to the
house of a friend, about a dozen blocks
away. and the clergyman was to ask
the conductor to wait just two minutes
while he performed the ceremony and
jumped a board the train.
The conductor agreed to wait the
two minutes, and the rush was made;
but several little delays occurred in
spite of their nicely-timed p ans, al
