The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-05-20

A Cleveland drummer (says the
Leader) was in Elyria a few Sundays
ago, and while sitting in his room
heard, from the next room, the mys-
teious question and answer:
"Whose duckey are your
Else your duckey !"
A few minutes passed, during
which the drummer sat in OPEN
mouthed wonder, and the silence was
again broken:
"Whose duckey are you
Use your duckey !"
Unable to stand it much longer
alone the Clevelander hurried down
to the office, learned that a newly
married couple were in the house,
inviting three other drummers to
hear the fun and tiptoed back to his
room. The wicked quartette crammed
their handkerchiefs in their mouths,
and during the next quarter of an
hour heard that fond conundrum put
and answered no less than four times
by the unconscious rustic and his
blushing bride.
AT dinner, as luck would have it,
the bride and groom were seated be-
tween two of the drummers, while
the original discoverer of the bonanzs
sat opposite. The table had been
cleared Of the substantials and
orders for dessert had been given.
At that moment a spirit of mischief
took possession of the Clevelander.
Leaning across the table he, looking
archly at his nearest friend, and in
dulcet tones propounded the conun-
drum :
"Whose duckey are your
The other chap was equal to the
emergency, and in tones of affected
sweetness got in his answer:
Use your duckey!
Two scarlet rustic faces, the Autter
of a white dress through the doorway
two vacant seats at the table, and
four crazy drummers laughing till
the tears ran, dashed across the Wis
ion of the spectators as the curtain
fell.

men.


men.
The Republican Convention Of
the Third District of Maine, last
Thursday was marked by strong
resolutions endorsing Blaine. and
also by a speech of Mr.. Stevens. in
which, as his fellow-townsman for
the past TWENTY-FIVE years. he review
ed his business career, and particu-
larly defended him from the charge
of having become suddenly rich since
entering Congress, Mr.. Stevens
said that in 1868. when elected to
Congress Mr.. Blaine had accumulat.
ed a fortune of $4,000: that his
gains since that time had been great
" exaggerated ana were far less than
many other men of ordinary business
capacity had ACQUIRED BY legitimate
investment.
Although Mr.. Blaine is not vet
forty-seyen wears old he has been
before the public more than twenty
years, beginning with the foundation
of the Republican party in Maine.
when it took an organized shape as
in any other State. He served four
years in the legislature, two of them
as Speaker of the House. At that
time the war of the rebellion came
on and Mr.. Blaine was the acknowl-
edged champion of the cause and
measures of the National Govern
ment and by his triumphant contests
with the ablest Democrats in the
Legislature, won the great popularity
which resulted in his being elected
to Congress in 1862. In that broad
er sphere he continued his arduous
support of the Union cause, and be-
fore his first term closed he was rec
ognized on every hand as one of the
most effective members OF the House,
not only in debate but in business
affairs and in the committee room.
There was not a measure vital to the
strengthening of our arms or neces-
sary to the work of reconstruction
which did not have his vote and his
judicious, and often controlling, in
huence in adapting its provisions to
the requirements of the time. In
this connection it ought to be said
hat Mr.. Blaine was neither ultra nor
timid in spirit-he was in exact ac-
cord with the Republican masses.
His position then was the ~forerunner
Of what we have seen it to be dur
ing the two years past, when he has
resisted the force bill on the one
hand, and, on the other, made his
timely exposure of the still
disloyal spirit of Ben Hill and other
Democratic leaders. UNFOLDING zeal
ously the supremacy Of the Union
and the interests of equal rights, Mr..
Blaine has done nothing to keen
alive sectional strife or to invest
non-essential matter with the dignity
Of national issues.
The greatest misapprehension of
Mr.. Blaine's career. however. lies in
DENYING him the possession of reform
qualities. He is a politician. we
must look elsewhere for reformers.

THE ELECTION OF HAYES STILL SEEMS
CERTAIN.

CERTAIN.
THE TlIpEN MEN NOW DISPOSED TO CONCENTRATE
ON FLoRIDA-No STATE TO LOSE A VOTE BY
INEMGIBIIY OF ELECTORS.
Democrats have become alarmed at the
claim of clear majority for Hayes in South
Carolina and Louisiana on the actual returns,
and are sending men to Florida. The 1ilden
men at New Orleans had an informal inter
view with Gov. Kellogg Yesterday, with
ont special result. No conference between
the two parties of Northern men at New
Orleans has been agreed upon. The Rcpub-
leans object to the phrase in the invitation,
"votes actually cast 1t is said now that If
the returns in Louisiana should he so made
as to show a majority for Hayes, the Demo
Gratis have put themselves in position where
they cannot claim a revision of the returns
on account of fraud. A table of corrected
maio1ties in South Carolina is given to-day,
showing 1900 majority for Rayes and 300
for Chamberlain. 1t is now considered settled
at Washington that no State will be deprived
of a vote in the Electoral College on account
of any electors nelgibility as all vacancies are
provided for 10y law. Congressman Willis had
an interview with the President yesterday, and
was impressed with the integrity of his mo-
tivcs in his action about the count III the

tBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRiBUNEI
NEW-ORIEANs. Nov. 15.-About a dozen of the
gentlemen from the North representing the Demo
cratic party in the pending controversy over the
vote of Louisiana called upon Gov. Kellogg this
afternoon at the Executive office. Among them
were ex-Scnators TrAlbull and Doolitte. Senator
Stevenson of Kentucky, George w. julian, ex-Gov.
Palmer of Illinois, Prof. Sumner of Ncw-Haven,
Judge Stallo of Cincinnati, and Mr.. Ouendorfcr of

TUMIY CAsrp THOUGHT TO GIVE THE STATE
TO HAYES.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUNEl
WAsHISGToN, Nov. 15.-Thc repeated assertions
in dispatches from Louisiana that the state has
gone for HAYES, without excluding from the count
the vote of the bull-dogged parishes, alarms the
Democrats. They begin to fear that while they
have been making preparations to watch the State
Returning Board the boards of parish canvaSscrs
have been at work manipulating the returns and
manufacturing Republican maiorties. Their only
remedy against such frauds would be to expose them
before the Returning Board; hut unfortunately the
Democratic delegation from the North, while seek
ing a partisan advantage, virtually tied their own
hands yesterday when they insisted upon count OF
the vote as "actually cast" If they shOuld want
TO invoke the powers Of the board to reject returns
tainted with Republican fraud, they appear to have
precludcd themselves from doing SO. Believing that
a count of the votes returned cast 10y the local
boards would give them the State, they wanted ;he
Republicans to unite with them IN insisting that the
board should disregard the law and take no cog
nzance of allegations of fraud and intimidation.
II would not be at all strange if their own medicine
should make them sick.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1j.-Thc Democrats who have
been insisting on the disqualification Of the Oregon

completely thrown Of tLeiT balance to-day by TIL
NOR that the Republican Committee had discovered

the truth of the report The fact is, TO such dis
coyery has been made, and the story originated IN
