Somebody who wants silly to disparage Uncle
William Aliens running powers in the eyes of the
st. Louis convention has been telling story about
the way he was outdone by "a little pennyroys
bull" Uncle William on his morning walk found
the calf in his early corn, and he started in after
the intruder. He "shewed" at it, but the calf was
unmoved as specie resumptionist would have
been. Then he said something skyblue, but the
calf was calm as Uncle William Allen was the
morning after the election. Then, says the story
che made II dash for the brute, who, seeing that
this attack really meant business, started off en-
run, with a snort of defiance Close upon his
heels came Uncle William, now thoroughly walked
up. For time it lively race, but IN the end
the calf won, and, exhausted and disg usted the
human gave up to the brute, and, painting for
breath, leaned up against friendly fence-rail for
support. As soon breath returned Uncle Will
liam thus addressed himself to q small colored
servant who had been qaietly enjoying the sport
from his outlook in the shade: Il have served in
the assembly of the nation the peer of some Of
the greatest men the century ever produced, and
none Of them 10 debate ever worried me much
as that double BANKED little pennyroyal BULL"

The democratic reformers are about to
elect Mr.. Barnum Of Connecticut to q
seat in tie United States Senate. They
have nominated him, in caucus and will
elect him Tuesday Mr.. Barnum is one
Of the wealthiest men in the State, But
his wealth appears to have no injurious
effect upon his political aspirations and
operations In fact tits said that without
his wealth he would never have been
thought OF az senator or even member Of
the House, The story OF his securing a
seat 10 the Senate rs told by those who
are well informed leaves no doubt that
he bought and paid for with money the
seat to which he will soon be elected.
There was :. contest between him and
Mr.. English for the seat. Both are rich.
but Bsrnum's purse is the longest. English
began early, aud thought for atime he had
no competitor, and that things were affixed
in his favor. He paidsio, 600 at the open
ing of the last State campaign to the dem
ocratic State conmiMes, which amount
he afterwards doubled, making his con-
tribution to the campaign fund $50. 900.
Mr.. Barnum, not TO be ouidone in gener-
osity. also paid over $40. 900 10 the dem
ocratic State Committee. Be it remem-
bered that all the time the democrats had
this large fund in hand for the campaign
they were shouting about the repub-
licans employing money in the State cleo
tions. and the necessity of bringing about
q reform as to that sort of corruption by
the election Of democrats to of1ice-such
democrats Of course as English and Bar
mum.
When the time for the meeting OF the
legislature approached Mr. English began
to look after his interest in the Senatorial
seat. Much to his surprise and disap
pointment he found that Barnum was
claimant. Each insisted that it belonged
TO him for cash duly paid. English said
it had been solsmnly. promised to him and
that Barnum had declared he would MOI
be candidate. Barnum denied that BIZ
had ever consented to such an arrange
ment. The tight waved fierce. and tn.
upshot fsss The public already know that
Barnum ~ nominated aud will get the
seat in dispute, The story as told by a
correspondent Of the Tribune is as fol.
