Tanned.

"I'm the Wild Horse of the Hum
boldt!" shrieked an excited individual,
as he bounced out of one of the Buel
street hurdy houses last Saturday
evening, and raised his clarion note of
defiance. Yes, and I'm your rider"
whooped another fellow, as he heard
the challenge. Then they clinched in
fierce embrace, tore up the ground and
wrestled and fought for the space of
five minutes; after which time the
"Horse" declared himself tanned, and
the rider looked as if he had been
bucked off of a Spanish mustang.

The civil-service is still industriously al work for MT Jewell. Collector Selden ol Norwich has been touring in Middlesex county this week, Collector Tibbetts has been up here Postmaster KnowltOn of Bridgeport is not idle, Special Agent Sperry of Hartford has hand in the business, and even National Bank Ex. aminer Mygatt, while engaged in his official pilgrimages, has found it necessary to use his influence for Jewell: This arraying of the government patronage all on one side of a struggle that it has no right to enter intot at all is something that the mass of the citizens of the state do not take to kindly.-C0r. Sprtny- field Republican.
 Besides eur preference of Gen. Hawley we confess great dislike of the methods we see employed in favor of Gov Jewell We know that these methods are very common-perhaps they are the prevailing methods. They will n ake Mir Conkling the next U. S. Senator from New York MT Cameron his own successor in Pennsylvania and they may elect Logan in Illinois. They consist chiefly in getting pos session of the party machine and, through that and other means of influence, organizing majority of the majority in legislature long before that legislature has organized it. self. Tine members-elect of the majority party are 'seen," either blythe U. s. officials who are in one sense the servants and in another the masters of the machine, or other agents of the aspirant. A sufficient number are pledged to secure favorable result, and the whole question is thus slyly settled in advance
