WHITAKER ON THE STUMP.
He thinks His Suferings EntitIe Him
10 Fat Office.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October Cadet
Whitaker of loppedears fame, intimates
to friends here in letters recently received,
that he expects to get the Democratic nom-
ination for Congress against E. w. Mackey
in the black district of South Carolina. He
has been in training ever since he went
there. He believes the republic to be un-
grateful. He thinks his sufferings after
his ears..were cut, as we'll as before, entitle
him to a good fat Office. The Republican
party does not agree with him. So he
promptly hops to the Democratic party in
the hope that it may differ from its rival.
In the course of the last few weeks he has
been on the Democratic stump making his
calling sure by damning Boss Grant"
"Fraudulency Hayes" and "ACcidency
Arthur" He thinks he's all right If he
should be nominated, the chances are that
he would not run as we'll as Tom Hamilton,
q black man who has been Democrat since
1876, and who is spoken of as Mackey's
rival.

NEWPORT, October 2.-The annual foot

one hundred, left the campus and dasnea
pell-mell down College street to the great

wagon they proceeded to enter the vehicie
through both door and side openings with.
reckless haste. 1t was speedily found that

and large crowd of spectators gathered to
see the fun. The wagon was filled 10 over,
flowing with the struggling students and
could not start forward. Shirts, hats, and
pantaloons were torn into shreds, and blows
were freely resorted to and as promptly ex-
changed. Three policemen endeavored to
uueli the disgraceful proceedings, but they
found it no easy task, as they were hustled
about and jeered in most provoking and
Insulting manner. They finally succeeded
in restraining the belligerents, so that the
wagon drove away in comparative quiet,
the sophs having

after great sacrifice of wearing apparel
and physical comfort. Old college gradu-
ates stood on the bridge and enjoyed the

their former experiences, and laughed and
cboered as the contest waxed fierce. Ar.
riying at the grounds the sophomores
locked the gates and endeavored to collect
an admission fee from the juniors, who,
objecting to this, forced their way through
them. One sophomore was injured so that
he had to be carried home.

next morning captured the men, who were
