Representatives from New York and
Boston houses who have visited us du-
ring the past month with the expecta-
ton of receiving orders, on noticing the
prices at which goods were sold, quietly
folded up their little bundles, like the
Arabs, and softly stole away, in their
desperation saying: We will buy all
the goods you have got, and pay your
retail price for them"

forth thousands OF unseen warriors to swell the
vote OF "the man for the place." and it will
doubtless have stimulating, healthful infiu-
ence on some other distinguished chieftains OF
the party whom the Democrats have been pray
ing might have chronic attack OF disaffection.
One thing is certain, il the Democrats suppose
that Senators Cameron, Conkling and Blaine
are luke-warm OF disaffectei because they are
refreshing themselves at watering places ard
on fishing excursions now, when the real cam
paign will not open for two months, they are
building their hopes on very flimsy theories.
To those whose pecuniary interests are CEN
tered in Washington, the possible advent OF a
Democratic administration cannot but be re-
regarded with alarm. During the last twenty
years the National Capital has changed from
dapidated southern town to beautiful north
ern city. This change has been brought about
by the substitution OF northern thrift and en-
ergy for southern Incidence. A Democratic
administration would work a great lchange in
the character OF the population. Elected by
solid south. Its cabinet, bureau officers, and
clerks would bear some proportion in numbers
to the votes it had given. There might be the
same number OF persons here to be sheltered,
fed and clothed but that Is not all that is ed
ed to make prosperous city. There would
soon begin a sinking toward the old condition
which existed before Republican administra-
ton brought In enterprise and progress. Bust
ness men and owners of real estate have no de-
sire to bring in a Democratic administration.

THE DARK HORSE.

We recently gave version OF the origin OF
the phrase eating crow" and the Cincinnati
Enquirer gives this account OF the phrase "a
dark horse: Once upon time there lived
in Tennessee an old chap named Sam Flynn
who traded in horses and generally managed 10
own speedy nag or two, which he used for
racing purposes whenever he could pick ND a
soft match during his travels. The best of his
flyers was coal-back stallion nam ed Dusky
Pete, which was almast thoroughbred and
able to so in the best OF company. Flynn was
accustomed to saddle Pete when approaching n
town and ride him into 1t to give the impression
that the animal was merely a likely boss and
not flyer. One day he came to a town where
country race-meeting was being held, and he
entered Pete among the contestants. The peo-
pie Of the town, not knowing anything OF his
antecedents, and not being overimpressed by
his appearance, backed two or three local favor
ties heavily against HIM. Flynn moved quietly
among the crowd and took oil the bets offered
against his nag. just as the flyers were being
sadded for the race, old Judge McMinsmee,
who was the turf oracle OF that part OF the
State, arrived on the course and was made one
Of the judges. AS he took his place in the stand
be was told how the betting ran, and OF the fol-
y OF the owner Of the strange nag in backing
his plug so heavily. Running his eye over the
'uck, the judge instantly recognized Pete, and
ne said, Gentlemen, there is . dark horse in
his race that will make some of you smell h
before supper The judge was right. Pete, the
dark horse lay back until the three quarter
post was reached, when he went to the front
With rush and won the purse and Flynns bets
With the greatest ease
