the organization of the republican party the
elections in that state have been hotly con.
tested, In 1860 Henry s, Lane, republican,
was elected governor, but in 1862 the state
went domocratic mainly because of the
emancipation proclamation and the failure to
vote oil large number of republicans who were
in the army. In 1864 Oliver p. Morton was
elected governor In 1866 the state went re-
publican by small majority aud in 1868 Con.
rad Baker republican, was elected governor.
In 1879 Hendricks, democrat, was elected
governor by a small majority over General
Browne, at present republican representative
in congress. In 1876 j, d, Williams, better
known us "Blue Jeans" democrat, was elected
governor by about 5000 plurality, Times
were pretty hard then, and Of curse tho re.

The cattle display, however. is the best seen

steer, belonging to Mr.. James Mcdaniel and
weighing 2,4l0 pounds, attracts considerable

rival boat half mile ahead, began to
curse, and ordered tar, pine knots, ba-

the fire as hot as possible; and as the
steam got higher and higher, the fatal
istic preacher edged his way farther
back on deck. The jolly captain, see
ing this, tapped him on the shoulder
and said: 'Ealloo! brother II.

''Here comes the masher," the fat
passenger said. "How much he trav-
els this winter" His coat is dark, his
trowsers light, his collar is high and
his manly throat is barred to the breeze.
Let us look at him and admire him.
See how he sits-g,aceful rs Apollo,
new lighted on rail fence to talk poll
tics with his neighbors. But--soft!-
here Games sweet girl seeking seat.
Maiden, our prayers are all for thee.
Too late all is vain; the masher has
caught her eye-her fate is sealed, her
heart is lost. "Sr," she said, and the
music of her voice thrilled the car;
'.sir, is this seat engaged ," He looked
up at the vision of glowing cheeks and
laughing eyes, marble brow and clus-
tering curls, and he relented; even the
masher's heart warmed toward the
lovely girl-the latest victim of his
1ldnl1 IlditbS. OhY
he said, and his bow was study of
grace; "oh, certainly not; you are en-
tirely welcome; / shall only be too
happy --" "Then," cried the
charmed victim, mother, you can sit
here beside this gentleman. . Then an
old woman, seventy-three years old if
she was day, with no teeth and only
one eye, a small box. big bandbox in
a bag, n green reticlle aud an umbrella,
two paper bags aud piece of calamus
root, tottered into the profered seat
and sat down and piled lier things into
the young mans lap. And the girl,
the beautiful girl, went and sat down
beside the passenger with the sandy
goatee, who was so baahlul that he
couldn't and didn't say word to his
companion all the way to Newark, and
blushed to his ears every time the fat
passenger winked at him.
