WHITE PINE ITEMS.


We Yesterday met an old acquaint-
ance Of years, who had ever been a
member of the Democratic party,
faithful, Jealous and unwavering, and
rs each year rolled around whose
pockets grew lighter and lighter for
the cause he loved and advocated. His
salutation was: "T've Topped! I've
been a Democrat all my life never
voted any other ticket but am now
so thoroughly disguised with the man.
ner in which the Democratic craft Is
run that 1 am compelled to cut loose
from the old hulk, to which nothing
but q few inactive barnacles now cling
as 1t floats along 80 modify and SO
gloomily to the political maelstrom
which must surely engulf it." And 4
deep sigh swelled up from u old
friends bosom rs he reverted In sad
ness to the past times, and now must
drop a name under whose banners he
had fought long and faithfully.
We noticed yesterday that the right
hand of a we'll known delegate from
the country to the Republican County
Convention was neatly cncased with
poultice and linen. We accosted him
with: "Owen, who have you been
compelled to knock down." damn
It." said the delegate, mo m yet ;
but I've found so many friends among
the candidates here, since my arrival,
whom I never knew before, that |
must either submit to unbidden grasps
and unwelcome greetings or resort to
lodges Of this sort )" and he pulled of
the rag from his hand, and It vas not
sore ut all, but strong and bony, with
knuckles big enough to knock down
an or. The candidate who don't like
that man had better no: blackguard
him for voting as he likes.
We have received a note from n cor

will attend the Democratic State Con-
vention. Our correspondent further
adds that the Union party will have
all easy road to victory IN Lincoln.
Fly time ia here and if every fly Is
to have his day we have time ahead to
prepare for winter. They are bccom-
ing a bit stiff in the joints these cool
mornings, and seem to grow sadder as
they sing; and it Is especially annoy
Ing to have n pioneer fly, presuming
on his antiquity and "prior claims"
alight on the top of a hair and gravely
swing to and fro while you arc trying
to think OF something useful for the
mornings paper.

pearance again upon our streets yes
