O NumOor OF Ot0of POLITICIANS.
The result of the election in the Pine
Tree state has been looked after With not q
little interest, BY democrss, republicans
and greenbsckers alike. When the BAzoo
bulletin board was pnt out yesterday after
noon, nearly every pedestrian pauaed tn
glance at Its contents and general discus
sion of the situation was the result.
AZ early a. eight O'Clock this morning
sOme eight or ten citizsns, all Of whom
manifested deep interest in the late con-
test, had again assembled, and an exchange
OF views was had.
The principal speaker wss Bill Jackson,
. man who, in days gone BY, welded not 8
little influence with the rank and file Of
the republican party, with which! he has
been identified for yesn. Close by his side
were J. A. Fisher, Squires Wsrdan and
Webber, Major Current, w. W. Snoddy,
Johnny Landes, Bob Morrow and othens.
Bill opened the conversation by asking
Fisher what he thought OF the result Of the
election in Maine, to which that gentleman
replied:
Il don't nee what the democrats have got
70 crow over; If il hadn't been for the id
greenbackers the democracy ~ouldn' have
been any place"
Jackson-Well, should say not. Two
years ego voted for some of that party,
but yon can betchyerlife I'll never d. il
again.
Morrow-Correct, Bill; we'll take sum-
thin on that.
Landes-When you cav stake sum
thin" of course you mean the whole
crowd?
Morrow-Thst's where you are of, lit
tie one. II the republicans fail to carry In.
diana 10 October will lose enough 10 for.
ever forbid the possibility Of my ever Civ.
ing away . single drink OF liquor that cost
me eight dollars per gallon.
Major Current-Well, think the green
hackers of Maine have scooped Jim Blaine;
and don't you forget il that il will add
hundreds of subscribers to the Saturday
Evening Calls subscription list. an sat
i>fied.
Warian-Correct again, MrjH; year
from now would not be surprised If you
had circulA alton of half million.
Snoddy-Yes, more or less.
Jacksonville bet any amount of money
that in a year from now you Won't be able
to find q greenbacker in the country.
Why, they are all going into the democrat
ic ranks Is fast a. possible. and I. for one,
say God speed them.
Webber, Saoddy and Lsnde' lin chorus)
Yes, Bill, for the eleventh thoussndth
time are ycu again right.
Wsrdan-Well, you can ali talk that
way now; but it won't be long until you
will be around soliciting our votes, as of
old. When you speak unexpectedly Of
the greenback party, you Islander some Of
the beat, purest and brainiest uen on earth.
Mind that, now.
Middleton-Oh, Cd! Give us a breeze,
will yous Why, Wardan, I wouldn't
solicit vote from any one Of your party
If was sure it would elect Garfield.
Lsndes-Don't you be worried about
Garfield getting left, boys; if he does, it
will be The first time. Don's you forget It
that AIM afraid to bet my money that he
will be elected and insuguratei.
Jackson-Inaugurated! Well, I'll bet
this 500 1 hold in my hands. and will
increase the amount to 500, 900 il any one
desires il, that he will be inaugurated.
Why, do You intend to say that the result
of the Maine election predicts the defeat of
Garfield, one of the best men in the nation
Except Gen. GRANT,?
Weber, don't think Garfield will be
defeated; hut do wish Grant had been
nominated At Chicago.
"Yes. and 40 do l." said Landes, Nor
row, Fisher and jackson, each trying to
zee Who could first give utterance to the
words.
Wardan-Well. time will tell. / still
stick to il that Gen. Weaver, man Of far
more intellect than either Hancock or
Garfield, will be the next president Of these
United States. He has done more for the
iaboring people of this republic than any
other one man that can be named.
Current-Never were words more fitly
spoken. have some business TO attend to
nov, gentlemen, 40 hope you will excuse me.
And he walked away, and few minutes
later W. rdan followed, and half an hour
later lie and Current we're playing game
of pin pool and ssking each other what
Office he intended applying for when
Weaver was elected.
The remaining gentlemen we're all re-
publicans, and of courae there conld be but
one opinion among them. After settling
it to the satisfaction Of themselves that
Garfield and Arthur would receive the
requisite number of electoral votes to elect,
they adjourned. Az they walked of. With
he ads bowed, the BAzoO man thought he
could detect numerous signs Of dispondency
and fears for The future but o. the gen.
tlemen expressed themselves o. confident
