mediately found himself the center of an anx.
ious crowd.
Ibid the old man come up"
Surprising that this was the regular Com
stock way of designating ones parental sire,
the APPEAL man informed the interrogation
that the party alluded to was dispensing the
gospel of peace in Carson.
"Oh, we mean Sharon; did he come up 2
Receiving a negative reply the crowd at
once dispersed.
| THE FEELING ON THE STREET.
The appearance of street was worth not
ing. Men stood about in knsts discussing the
situation. There we're two classes of indig
nant people. The more respectable portion
of the community were incensed at the idea
of having ticket forced down their threats by
star chamber process, and the strikers
brigade seemed to feel trampled on and insult
ed that Mr.. Strother had not stood in the
window of his Office and dumped twenty dol
lar pieces into the street.
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
Up to q few weeks since the idea seemed to
have prevailed that the pathway of the poli,i-
cal hummer, as he journeyed from the saloon
to the polls would be paved with twenty dol
lar pieces. The lavish manner in which
Sharon disbursed his gold six years agr
| still dwells in the memories of the recipients
| of his largess in the shape of a constantly ex-
banding vision. Men have told how much
they received so often and enlarged SO per-
sistently that there are in Virginia class OF
men who for while counted on receiving 800
for their votes on election day. After
Sharon's oratorical effort at the hotel and
his subsequent departure without dispensing
dollar, the surprise and chagrin which fol
lowed would be hard to describe. When las,
Saturday night was reached and no sign of
thu sack opening was manifest the feelings OF
the disappointed mob tosk the shape of bias
phemoss imprecations directed at the form OF
Mr.. Strother whenever he appeared upon the
street. Hundreds of men who had followed
him about the city to secure an opportunity
Of brushing the dust off his boots would liked |
to have mo5bed him.
AN INSIDE VIEW
"rve got the inside of this biz said lit
tie short red faced man whose visage was
dotted with whiskey pimples, "There won,
be no sack this year. Sharon thinks that the
way he slung the bags open in "a give him
quit claim on the State forever. This year
he sorte r made show of the sack business;
bat l tell ye boys there amt no sack. Do ye
hear any cash jingling about Strother's clothes
when he walks? Do ye see anybody going
from his office to the bank with checks2 D..
ye see the price of any extra drinks slung w
snywhereF Here the man paused and looked
about him while he gave slight cough indie
alive of huskiness. The hint was not taken
md he proceeded: HE takes US for putty
mem. We work in the primaries for his ley
slative ticket, and then the fellars we hist
inter- position git the scads. This business
lon't wash. l tell ye boys Sharon amt fixed
IS he was. He hasn't got the soap he had six
7ears ago."
This revelation regarding Sharon's financial
tanding seemed to have its effect upon the q
rowd, and some grave doubts began to be c
oppressed regarding Sharon's fitness for the c
lace. Divested of the sack, he was evidently
nything but favorite.
FAIRS CANDIDACY
Some held that the call of meeting at the :,
opera House, ostensibly as an anti Sharon E
ncvement was really dodge headed by Curt +
lillyer to make q split in the Republican
arty for the benefit of Col. Fair, who was :,
n his way to grasp the scepter of power like
Napoleon, who landed Unexpectedly in France
nd soon afterwards took possession of the L
apitol. Others were equally positive that G.
air would run on the Republican ticket. d
'enty could be found who didn't believe Il
1at Fair had the slightest idea of running at 81
L. c.
CONFUSION. b.
The people were in state of helpless
infusion over the whole matter. No two :,
ZEN could be found who thought alike on the :.
inject. A plan outlined by one man which =.
emed just the thing, would be objected to \
? some one else who thought he saw a job in =,
The slightest suspicion grew to q convic :,
on, and every mali seemed to look upon bis
'ighbor as an unmitigated scamp, putting up
job on him. hi
