Seats for the Horse Car Drivers.

Some time ago it was reported the horse car
drivers were DESTROYS of seats, to be fastened
on the front platform, but that the company
objected. Then it was stated they were to be
allowed seats. A driver put a seat ON his car
and he was ordered to take it off. 1t is under
stood the president, directors, and stockholders
favor permitting the man a seat, but the super
intendent objects. We think in that case the
objections must be owing to a misunderstand-
ing. Probably he thinks that the seats would
be in the way and incommode passengers, but
we understand, if it is permitted it would be
used only little while at time; would be
placed in position where it would not be
in the way; and, when we consider, the draft
on a mans strength these long summer days,
it would be good thing for the health of the

PENNINGTON, Aug. 4.
The Republicans of this county turned out
1000 strong, Saturday last, to listen to our next
Governor-Daniel F. Davis-and Hon. T. B.
Reed Both of these gentlemen held the clos
est attention of the gathering throughout their
remarks, and made a most favorable impress
sion upon many who have been regarded as
doubtful.
The county convention which met in the
forenoon was a most suspicious opening to the
mass meeting. 1t was fully attended and
most harmonious; and the entire ticket NOM
mated will be strong one at the coming cleo
ton.
Considerable amusement was created here
by a letter which appeared in the Boston Globe
under the date of the Both ult. This epistle
indeed presents a cheerful aspect to Green
hackers unacquainted with this locality. But
when the fact becomes known that the D,dny
of the said &C. s" reported as having left the
Republican ranks this gear, refers to t,co who
Joined the soft money party three years ago;
also that several others, whose names are given
among the list of new converts, are today, and
have been all the time, earnest Republicans

picture will presenta far different aspect. In
fact old Franklin has never failed to throw a
handsome Republican majority, and she can
and will do so this year-the Boston Globe to

ROMANCE OF THE CUSTER MAssAcRE.-ColoneI
Benteen, OF the Seventh cavalry, left the i'm
preston In his testimony in the Reno inquiry
that DR.. Lord and Lieutenant Sturgis, who
were with custer, and whose bodies were not
found. might be still alive and with the In
dians. Away down In Maine this ray OF hope
fell upon the heart OF young lady who IS in
reality. but not in name, one OF the widows OF
That fatal dash for yindication. There was
more In the Colonel's words 10 her than he In
tended. For the fifteenth time she wrote 10
Bismarck pitifully inquirtng IL there was any
possible hope that BenteenS intimation was
founded upon fact. Her friend here answered
NO" II DIR. Lord was alive and I'm Sitting
Bulls camp the Canadian mounted police
would have found it out long before this.
Major Walsh, who is on the best OF terms with
the hostfles, and is with them a great deal, has
made every effort TO discovera survivor. He is
a great admirer OF the dead custer, and his per-
Sonal feelings have been heartily enlisted I'm
the vain search. All that he has found has
been one horse or the white-horse company
Dr. LORD may be alive, but IL is as fmprobable
as Jules terne'S elghty-day trip around the
world. The lady In Maine however, has an in
tutive belief that he is still alive and she Will
yet see him. She reproaches herself for some
little thing she did, thinking it sent him OF with
custer, and that he was Indifferent TO the con-
sequences.-[ [Bts'narck, ID. T., dispatch 10 Chicago

the jail TO confer with her husband as is the
custom, and after the usual lapse or time She
as was supposed, came out deeply gIfeved and
weeping, and departed for her home The sur
prise or the lailer can be better imagined than
described when he discovered, instead OF Ben
Jamin Pitt as his prisoner, the wife OF Pitt un-
dergoing imprisonment. The accused had
donned the apparel OF his wife and had fed the
