A COUNTING our EPISODE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The following
anecdote was being laughed 0rer to-
day, in the senate cloak rooms. 1t
illustrates Chambers character ex-
actly:
sc A day or two after the election of
1876 the late E. w. Stoughton saunter-
ed to the rooms of the republi-
can headquarters in New York. He
was very much depressed and thought
the elections had gone against the re-
publicans. He asked Zach Chandler,
chairman of the committee. what he
thought of the result. "Why we've
won, of course" said Zach. But
what do you think of Florida ?" con-
tinued Stoughton; "are you sure of
Florida?' Yes, ! am sure of Flori-
ia; we have won the victory and we
shall keep it," said Chandler. But
they say Tilden has sent representa-
tive to Florida, and l think our inter-
ests need care" rejoined Stoughton.
!" Do they?" said Chandler; when do
they say Governor Tilden's man
started p "This morning." was the
reply. We'll" said Chandler, bright
ening the cigar by an extra puff, i" all l
have to say is that if Mr. Tilden's man
gets to Florida before mine does he
will have to travel faster than any ex-
press train ever went. My man left
yesterday"
