At the Regular Republican head

week, while Secretary Taggart and
half a score of clerks were busy at
desks and tables in the main room, a
young girl, about eighteen years OF age,
of prepossessing appearance and plain
ly but neatly dressed, came in. Hest
tating as she entered the room, in evil
dent embarrassment she asked SIS
Senator Thomas V. Cooper in q
ale is not said secretary Taggart,
rising and walking forward. 'Can |
do anything for you 7"
"I've brought my money" said the
girl, drawing out a we'll worn old pock-
et-book and taking out two one dollar
bills. Secretary Taggart was at once

at the table again, he asked the girl
to sit down, while he opened drawer
and took out book.

Secretary Taggart, having opened
his book, looked across the table at the
young woman, who sat abashed, evl'
IDENTIFY unused to such scenes.
"How much is it 7" asked the secre
tary.
"Two dollars" said the girl, tremu
lously.
She handed the money over, the sec
retary dropped it into drawer, turned
the key, entered the sum on book ant
began to make out receipt.
"What's your first name ?" he ask
ed.
"Emma," said the girl timidly.
Mr.. Taggart wrote it out and hand

she folded the receipt, "every littl

"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Taggart, mechan
cally.
'And it doesn't make any differenc

The Stalwart managers will have to
revise their schedule of campaign is
sues, change their candidates or import
and naturakze London tailor. While
Beaver is bowling about how faithfully
the Stalwart party has stood by the doc.
trine of protection, his colleague on the
Stalwart ticket--William Henry Rawle
sends to London for the clothes he
wears to make canvass in. In twenty
years the Stalwart candidate for supreme
judge has never worn a suit of clothes
cut from American goods or made by at
American tailor. He sends to Londor
for every thing of the kind he needs
and the party that chooses him as it
standard bearer has the effrontery tt
talk about protecting American indus

There was a large republican meet
ing in Philadelphia last Saturday night,
at which Beaver was announced to
speak on State issues. He made his
speech but forgot to say anything
about that subject He dare not touch
it, because he cannot assert his man
hood without repudiating Cameron,
and to do this would be his political
death. The more Beaver talks the
better it is for the Democracy.

Mrs. Scoville, the day before his exc

Corkhlll on Tuesday that the large bud

The original amount was greater, as
the petals of the flowers failed to retain
in dry state some which adhered

Beavers speeches consist mostly of
boasts of mis- own popularity, and assu-
RANGES of his own election. He tells his
audiences that the Independent move
ment has died out, although they are
holding larger and more enthusiastic
meetings all over the state than the
Stalwarts. Beaver may be deceived
himself, but he cannot fool the people
with such chaff.
