at the Late Republican Convention In st.

father for the Presidency, because he and Kate
are such good friends says a tremendous
young lieutenant here, whose drawl would
make e. A. Southern low spirited over the in
completeness of Dundreary's tone. Walkers
father happened to be James G.. Blaine, and as
young Pont dc Bots declares his intermediate
preference, SO do Grants partisans here hope
he will get the nomination for Sweet WINDOWS
sake. Kate and Williams friends are fishing
with pins as yet but the harpoons are ready
when the time comes to discriminate.

candidacy last fall, believing ''the lightning to

Presidential Count Joannes, who believes him.

credulous and defunct George, he is guyed to
the top of his bent by his following. This same

J. T. WILLIAMS

Window for years, and had all his nourishment,
spiritual, political and social, from our pretty
and ambitious worthy. No wonder he was
active in canvassing and creeping about for
fastenings.
He had been postoffice agent for years, and

transom observations of the superserviceable
Williams. He got fifth wheel appointment

For man whose throat was cut from ear,

GEN. JIM BAKER
was remarkably alive. Window helped the
supple and springy Jim to the surveyor
generalship, and he reasons if Dunnell should
be sent to the Senate. I, the elegiac Baker, may

selfish business every time, and as for the

about the most Infamous and treacherous body
that ever assembled in any State.
The manipulators of the well creased politi-
cal Jog are not only well known, indeed drive
well known, but spotted. They are men who
are the execration of public sentiment IN
the intervals when they rest from their dirty
work in st. Paul at stated intervals. But
they come to town smiling year after year with
their section of the State ready for delivery tC

manhood in his frailties.
