The thorough and apparently trustworthy canvass
OF Republican sentiment in Illinois made by 1he
Chicago Times Is likely to upset good many cacu-
latIons. Some interesting points are made clear by
it, Among these are the following: At least two
thirds of the counties in the State are strongly OPP
posed to a third term, rendering IL hardly probable
that any attempt can succeed to instruct the State
delegation to the Chicago Convention against tho
expressed wish of the party. Should General Grant,
however. secure the nomination he will be quite
generally supported The German vote in the State
| fs solid Tor Wasbbuue The Times in summing mp
the result of it's canvass concludes that the oppo-
| sition of Illinois to Grant in the National ConVen-
| tion will prove blow from which his cause can
not recover The revelation of the weakness OF his
support will do more than anything else which mas
heretofore developed or is yet to develop to draw

Small Change i'm the West.

A Kansas correspondent of the Bos
ton Transcript writes:
In truth, a person who waits for
change in the shape of 2, 3 or cents
is looked upon with something like
scorn in the West. Is your bill 7S
cents? You pay so, or the obliging
shopkecper says: Call it 75."
l recalled an incident which one of
the merchants of Salina related when
speaking of his recent trip to New
York for goods. After making his
preparations for returning, he went to
settle his bill, which proved to be $40.03.
He paid $40, and was turning away
when he was recalled by a tap on his
shoulder, and the 3 cents were pointed
out.
In scornful amazement he threw
down 10 cents, and again started away.
"Here is your change. sir" said a
voice, in no wise overwhelmed by his
contempt.
The merchant waved his hand and
bowed.
keep it, sir. am a Western m ali.
We don't grasp 3 or cents there so

They Wouldn't Fight That Way.

I notice that Judge John Rice has
been figuring in the papers of late, and
am reminded Of story current con-
corning him and the late war. He was
very violent Secessionist, and, in a
speech urging secession, said: "Why,
- the Yankees! If they show fight
we can whip them with popgunsl" The
Yankees did show fight, and with what
result is we'll known. A short time
after the war Judge Rice was making a
speech at the same cross roads where he
had made his Boosting speech before
the war. One of the audience asked
him if he was not the same Judge Rice
that spoke there in 1860. IL am" he re-
piled. well, didn't you say that we
could whip the Yankees with popguns?"
IL did, and we could have done it; but,
- 'em, they wouldn't fight us in that
wayl"--LOuisuille Cor. Cincinnati
