Bill Chandler remarks that Bob Inger-
soil says Of the explanation Stanley Mat
thews made in open Senate. that it reminds
him Of 4 traveller who was goin" through
a cotlhtry which had been infested with a
noted desperate. whose name was Il terror.
The traveller was on his Journey on horse
back when he fell in with Il iellow-traveler
After they had logged on a mile or two
together the traveller said to his compan-
ion:
Il hope we will not be molested by this
celebrated thief who has plundered here
abouts, for have 4 large amount Of mon
ey and have no weapon
IL think not,' said his companion.
Aft.r some further progress, the two
alighted at a spring to drink. AS the
traveller stopped to dip up the water his
companion pounced upon him, demanding
his money or his life, adding:
IL aa the thief you have dreaded meet
ing"
Strangely enough. the traveller showed
fight, and it was only after tough tussle
LllaL ne W3S overcome.
''Now give me your money! demanded
the thief
II have no money! said the traveller.
''What in hell made you fight so, then?'
cried the thief
SWELL" replied the traveller, IL told you
had a good deal OF money and no weap-
on, and hated to be caught in such silly
lie.'

From the Berlin Courant.

1t is understood to be the purpose of Mr.
Sackett TO support Z. w. Reyes for the
United States Senate. We cannot understand
upon what theory Of popular representation
the senator from this district can so far
mistake or misrepresent the district as to cast
a vote in its behalf 50 totally opposed to the
sentiment of the district. Mr.. Keycs is not the
first choice, nor the second choice, nor the
last choice of this district. We believe we do
not exaggerate when we state that the Repub-
licans of the district consider him the most
unfit man for the high and responsible position
of United States Senator OF all the men promi-
uenGIy or incidentally mentioned
The contest in the caucus is likely TO result
in no choice, for the first and, possibly, many
ballots. We express the sentiments of this
district fairly when we say that for ourselves
we shall be satisfied with some other true.
tried and able Republican than either of the
three prominent candidates The Grant County
HERALD mentions Gov. Fairchild, now in
Paris; also Horace Rublee. II we cannot
have our first choice, we shall be well satisfied
with Horace Rublee. He took the chairman
ship of the state central committee with a
majority of fifteen Thousand against us in the
state, and by his bold, strong announcement of
the issues of the day carried the party to
victory. Such man-one who does not ask
the place, one whom we know forbids his
friends the use of his name in that connection
lis in our mind far better to take the place
than one who has honey-comhed the whole
state for years with view to the Office with
out which the Office would never seek him.
We will support any fit and capable man to
succeed Senator Howe, but f. w. Keves-
never. In this we but express the best ayer>
age sentiment OF this senatorial district.
