Two BETs.- On Friday a
gentleman made the following
bets: $40 that he could name
twenty states that would go for
Hancock, and $50 that he would
carry two-thirds of the remain
ing states. The two bets were
fairly jumped at, but when the
gentleman handed in his list of
the twenty states to go for
Hancock and included in them
Vermont, New Hampshire, To-
wa, Nebraska and all the GER
tain republican states, leaving
the solid south to carry the re-
naming states, the takers dis
covered that they had been sold
out; they would win the $40
bet, but lose the $50. They
offered to comp" on SIS, but
it wouldn't 60.

TAX COLLECTOR In this is
sue appears the announcement
of Mr.. Walter Norwood, the
regular democrat nominee for
collector OF taxes of this coHn-
ty. Mr.. Norwood is a resident
Of LIZ ls.e Washington beat and has
for many years ben d clt'Eeh
Of this county. He.is a demo.
GRAFT politically, but is conserva-
live in his views and is extreme
ly popular with all who enjoy
the pleasure Of his acQuain-
lance. He is well qualified to
fill the office to which he as
pires. To many ofour readers
he needs no introduction. 1t is
his purpose, we believe, to make

will not only make friends, but
hat he will make votes too. He
IS not a politician, has been
up in no rings and is a
gentleman with an unblemished

r. Graft Brown, tho great Missouri

b. Gratz Brown, the great Missouri
political mountebank, announces himself
a candidate for the United States Sena-
torship from Missouri. Brown has not
been success in any Office which he has
ever filed. AS . Senator in the National
Senate he was a miserable failure, he
made a poor Governor, and as the Presi-
dent of street railroad company, he near
ly swamped the corporation and the stock
holders displaced him. When there was
talk Of running Brown for the Presidency
in II and 70, that worthy used to walk
the streets of st. Louis telling every one
he met that he had it sure, and when he
became President he would appoint them
to foreign missions. Nearly every man
in St. Louis was promised position.
Missouri has had her fill OF Mr.. Brown,
and it is not at all likely that she will
again place him in position which he
has already proven himself utterly incap-
able Of filling.
