Ths Result OF Months Canvass AmeuE
the Republicans &C Washington How the
States win Vote The President Said 20
Have nd Support.

BosroS, January fla knot of outside
observers, writing over the signature OF
six Spectators. give to the Boston
Journal the result Of "a quiet but thorough
canvass with reference to the forthcoming
party nominations for President," which
they have made at Washington during the
present session of Congress. The Repub-
licans, they say, readily give their views,
but the Democrats, as rule, s.figfft shy. !"
b The following is brief summary of the
canvass among Republicans: Kentucky
is the only Southern State which has a
candidate who can unite his own delegation
ON the first ballot. Secretary BristosR is
the man, and his friends expect TO obtain
votes from the Is moderate % men all over
the country. Gen. John M. Harlan ia talked
of as candidate for the second place on
the ticket. Maine will present James G..
Blaine, aud viii have the support OF New
Hampshire. Veim ont is in doubt whether
to compliment one of her own citizens on
the ballot, but will give Mr.. Blaine her
support as second choice. Massachusetts
may divide it's vote at first, but has no
united preference against Mr.. Blaine. A
fraction of Rhode Islands vote, as well as
Massachusetts may at first be given to Post
master General Jewell, and Connecticut
may be divided between Gov. Jewell and
Gen. Hawley. 'Mr. Blaine" the observers
conclude, s'will receive the unanimeus
vote of New England an the third ballot
New York is in queer condition. AS
We find it represented here, Mr. Conkling
cannot seceive one half the vote of the State
on final ballot. Neither will he surren-
der his claim to any one else. So it will
hardly answer to name any one as New
York's candidate. The canv ass of 1874 in
jured Conkling's political standing very
much. It is possible, however, that on an
agreement to withdraw his name thereafter,
ne may receive the informal and compli-
mentary vote of the State.n New Jerseys
candidate is Senator Frelinghaysen, and
Governor Hartranfs Pennsylvania's. Gov
ernor Hayes is Ohio's candidate, and Sena-
tor Morton will be presented by Indiana.
Mr.. Morton can expect no support east of
Indiana or southwark, except in sne Gulf
States. There is no promise of any delega-
tions for him outside of Indiana. Illinois
is uncertain, but would support Minister
Washburne were he candidate. Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas,
and possibly Michigan win be found ON
Blaine's side. The impression prevails that
no man can unite the delegates of Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Nevada or Colorado, except it
be Mr.. Blaine; Bristow and Morton may
find scattering votes in these States. The
Southern States are uncertain. To their
surprise the eanvassers say: General
Grant has absolutely no support It seems
to be the general opinion that both Morton
and Conklng are in favor of the third term
if number one cannot be nominated"

The early history of Cooper county is full
of history and romance. About the year
1920 there were but few families living on
the south side of the river. The most
prominent were by the name Of Cole, who
had fort about two mile below Baenyille,
into which they rstreatgd when in danger
from Indians. Such thing as q wedding
was q rare occurrence, as the population
was very scattered, and it was ineonvenient
to assemble, as people lived SO far from
each other. About this time the Cole fam
lily was invited to attend wedding in
Cooper's bottom, over the river in Howard,
county, and about eight miles off. The
elder Cole, his wife and all of the children,
except boy named Sam, about sixteen
years, got ready to attend the. wedding,
and for that purpose all the clothes belong
ing to the family whre brought into req.l-
sition They started carly in the evening,
as they had to travel q considerable dis
tance and cross the Missouri River, and
lett Sam by himself at home. Toward
evening, he commenced to muse on the
subject Of the wedding, and his curiosity
became excited to witness the event. But
there was no horse to ride, the river was to
cross, and it was too late to cross by the
ferry. Besides, all the clothes were gone,
Git was in the Summer time) and Sans
only garment was q tow shirt; fortunately,
just as the sun was going down, Sam espied
his fathers pet bull making his way to-.
wards the fort, and the idea occurred to
him here was way to get to the wedding.
He Immediately improvised bride of
hickory bark, put it on the bull, mounted
him and started just as he was. He got to
the river ut dusk, went about three hum
dred yerds above the ferry landing and
boldly urged his trusty steed into the foam
ing current of the Missouri river. He
landed on tho other side at the usual place,
safe and sound, and ascended the bank and
took up his line Of march to the wedding,
got to the cabin time, anchored his bull OPP
posite the open door where he could see.
Laid down ON the back of hs steed, and he
gazed, for the first time, on a wedding. He
layed ON his bull, where he could see all
that was going on and not be seen himself,
! till late in the evening, when, as he declin-
ed to go into company, he was slowed away
out Of sight till morning, when he returned
| with the rest of the family home.
The hero of this incident is still living in
this county, enjoying green old age and
a reputation surpassed by none Of the Macy
prosperous farmers Of this county, and no
man stands higher in the estimation of the
citizens than Capt. Sam. Cole BooDc7le

III Way Yankee Doodle was Played
at Ghent.

In tie "sesr of .iamboree" our national
lir should be tablished, and it is to be
,,oped that Yankee Doodle, which was
adopted by the Continental troops a hun
wears ago, will not be crowded out by Hail
Columbia, the Presidents March, the Star
spangled Banner, America, or John Browns
Body-each a glorious tune, but without
right or precedent over Yankee Doodle.
There is also high authority for asserting
that Yankee Doodle is our national air,
which John Quincy Adams used to relate,
when he was serving here as Representa-
tive, somewhat in these words
After the Ministers Plenipotentiary of
Great Britain and the United States had
nearly concluded their pacific labors at
Ghent, the burghers of that quaint old
Dutch city determined to give an entertain
ment in their honor, and desired to have
the national airs Of the two treaty-naking
powers performed as part of the program
me. So the musical director WAS directed
to call upon the American Ministers and
obtain the music of the national air of the
United States. No one knew exactly what
to give, and a consultation ensued, at which
Bayard and GaIlatin favored ''Hail Colum-
bia, y while Clay, Russell and Adams were
decidedly in favor of yankee Doodle. 2
The musical director was called in and in
formed of the decision. He then asked if
any of the gentlemen had the music, and
receiving a negative reply suggested that
perhaps one OF them could whistle or sing
the air.
g I can't, said Mr.. Clay, !. never sung
or Whistled . tune in ny life perhaps Mr.
Bayard can. =

Judge Doolittle, of Wisconsin, thinks
that General Sheridan will be the next Re-
publican candidate for President, and that
the power which proposes t. nominate him
would recreate the Office Of General of the
Army and place Grant in ii for life.
II is related that when Belknap's defeat
was told to Zach Chandler the latter re-
marked that the flourish laae in the papers
by Belknap's friends before the election,
and the small number of votes-twelve-
polled, was very much like shearing hog
for wool, the result being a damned sight
more noise than wool.
Roscoe Conkling is delighted because he
thinks it helps the Republican party at
Blaine's expense. Some think that Hill
vindicated the past at the expense of the
future. Piper, of California, is one of the
most Respondent of Democrats. 9" By the
old Harry" he is reported to have said,

The Cincinnati Commercial, which has

that if it hadn t been for the present editor
of the New York Sun he would have been
removed from the command of the Army of
the Tennessee in 1868. That would account
for the liberties Mr.. Dana now and then
takes with his protege-if it were true.
But the fact is Grant had no friend then

A Washington dispatch of January 10th
says: For some days past there have
been large number of Southern federal
office-holders in Washington, probably six
ty in all, from various parts of the South.
They have held several secret caucusses.
together with many of the prominent Re-
publican leaders here, and it is alleged that
they have agreed to work up opinion in the
South in favor of BristoW and Jewell as the
nominees of the Republican party next
fall. This is striking commentary on the
effect of Blaine's new departure, and shows
that even with the class where it would be
naturally supposed it would have most
weight, it has done him no good. The COM
ment is that they know too much to trust
Blaine.
