The response to the doings of the Republican
State Convention is most satisfactory and en-
couraging. The fairness of the Convention,
the large representation present, and the evil
dent absence of Objectionable influences, were
features which have great weight in assuring
hearty support to the nominees. The nominal
tions were SO clearly the deliberate expression
of the Republicans of the State, that the oppo-
sition clap-trap about "rings" and machines
having exercised any control in The party is de-
prived Of the power to do harm. Ii there was
any "machine,' in the common acceptation of
that term, at work to influence the delegates
in their preferences, we should be glad to see
the evidences of it. If Mr.. Blaine had been in
tile State the imaginary machine would have
been named for him, as has been customary
But he was out of the State, and we doubt if
any man in it knows whether he entertained
preference between the cspdidetos elected and
those rejaotet as nominees by the convention.
Senator Frye was present, but as in duty bound
because chairman of the State Committee. So
was Senator Hale, and he also was there at the
request of Mr. Frye to preside, which he did in
most able and impartial manner Possibly
both of these men may have had preferences
as to candidates, but they discreetly kept their
views to them elves, and left the delegates to
act their own pleasure. On all hands the desire
seemed to be to select the strongest and most
acceptable men for the POSITIONS considering
all the circumstances. Between the candi.
dates for the nomination for Governor the con-
test was quite close, showing that both were
considered strong, and though Mr.. Robe re-
ceived the majority, Mr.. Thomas's vote was
one in which he may well take pride. His
friends promptly made the nomination of Mr..
Robbie unanimous. Had Mr.. Thomas been sev
ected, Mr.. Robes friends would have been
equally prompt to pledge their unanimous sup
port. If ever there was a spontaneous and fair
political convention in the State, that of the
Republicans at Portland was 30, and no inven-
tons of the enemy should convince any man to
the contrary who witnessed its proceedings.
The 1900 delegates who were present have re-
ported it fairly to their towns, and will be able
to refute the stereotyped fasehoods of the OPP
position as TO bossism, rings or machines They
know that the nominations were all the free
choice of the people.

THE Canadian election proves to be less
of triumph for Sir John Macdonald than
was originally expected. His Ministry is
left with strong majority, but it is reduced
and likely to be less manageable than in the
past. The canvass against Protection ap-
pears to have made little progress; but the
opposition, aside from its demand for low
tariff, had grave subjects for criticism in the
ministerial gerrymandering in Ontario, the
veto by the Government of a local bill relat-
ing to the lumber trade in that province,
and the opposition made by Sir John to the
proposal that Canada should negotiate its
own commercial treaties with foreign pow

The Straight Flush and Four Aces


Treating the game of poker scientifically, the
New York Times says: lit is not many years
since the straight flush was introduced into the
game of poker and given the power to beat
four aces The history Of the development of
the straight flush since the date of its introduce
ton affords curious instance of the way in
which Nature supplies any demand that is
made upon her. In 1856 straight flush oc-
Cured once in every 1877 900 hands, four aces
occurring at the same date once in every 9,O27
hands.
With the demand for straight fushes the
frequency of their appearance increased. until
at the time of the famous transit of Venus,
when scientific parties were sent out by our
government to the end of the earth, the straight
flush. according to the excellent authority of
Professor Hardness, of the Naval observatory,
could be expected to appear once in every 49,
600 hands-in round numbers. In the very
able paper on poker read at the meeting OF the
American Scientific Association last August,
it was asserted that the straight flush had so
greatly increased in frequency that it was COM
monty met once in every l, 147 hands, thus be-
ing nearly as common as four aces

Prof. Dean had kindly consented to take his
nephew Jimmy, 10 year old boy, for acourse
of tuition Schooling, ordinary people might
call it, but the professor was very chaste and
correct in his use of language. His brother
had written and asked him to take unusual
pains to teach Jimmy to speak elegant Eng
lsh, and intimated that the boys worst fault
was reckless disregard of proper language
When his nephew came the professor was
rather pleased with him than otherwise. He
found him bright appreciative little fellow,
who answered his questions demurely enough
and seemed as steady and sedate as one could
wish. But Jimmy was on his good behavior
and did not yet feel at home; he was looking
into his surroundings, and the third morning
after his arrival he burst into his uncles study
in a state of breathless excitement.
"Say, Nunkey," he gasped, there's a brook
up here ehock full of fish, and I'm going right
up there to sling fly, and don't you forget
it!''
The professor looked up from his book in
amazed horror and as soon as he could speak
asked sternly:
"To whom are you speaking, sir?"
ITO you. Nunkey. 0Gh,Say, now, don't fiiiTg
if you don't give me away
"Give you away?'
Eyes, Nunkey; what do you take me for?
Don't you tumhlc?"
''Iumblef
tumble to the racket-trail-twig catch
on?"
"Do you wish me to infer that you desire to
go fshing?"
"Well, should smile! That's about the size
of it +"
"And you are inclined to go now, sir?"
SITS right you are, Nunkey; but if / can't go
this aft some other aft will do"
The Professor reached for his cane with one
hand while with the other he gently persuaded
his nephew to approach him, while he said, in
his severest scholastic voice:
II think | catch on-I trail-do you tum-
ble?" Whackl whack! whack!
Jimmy had only time to ask what you CIV
in us?" when his uncle got down to business.
When be had finished he locked the youth up
in his study and took his usual walk On his
return he interviewed Jimmy through the
keyhole by asking him how he felt. If he exs
pected an answer in classic English he little
knew tho small boy of the times
"Give us a rest" growled poor Jimmy be-
tween his sobs; ''I'm all broke up! but should
blush to murmurl'
The next day his father received him with
letter from the professor proncuocing him an
untranslatable edition of unabridged slang
which he was utterly unable to conStrue.
