An ENGLISH ELECTION DODGE.

1t vas in the year l765. when the po-
titioal pot was boiling furiously in Eng
land, and when there was much pulling
and hauling throughout the realm for
the securing of place and power, that
the following incident occurred.
The election was for two members of
Parliament for the borough of Berwick
n-Tweed. At this time there were liv-
ing in London-engaged there for the
season-several hundred non resident
freemen, so called, entitled to vote in
Berwick. These London dwellers were
Government people, and were to vote
for the friends of the Premier. The
two candidates Of the party In power
had spent large sums toward securing
their return, and, with the aid of their
London adherents, their election was
sure; and that there might be no mistake
about the voting of these last named
constituents, the Government candidates
chartered two good vessels for the pur-
pose of conveying the freemen to Ber-
wick direct by water; and, that there
might be no hitch in the matter, they
paid every shilling of probable and pos
sibie expense, even to the fare of the last
voter. Just in the nick of time Mr..
TAYLOR, one of the opposition candi-
dates, went to Lord Delaval, the other
candidate, and said to him:
My lord. how much will you give me
If make your election sure?'
Delaval leaped to his feet. As yet
neither of them had paid ont shilling,
while the other side had been pouring
out their money without stint.
Anything you want" said Delaval.
"Then give me 440O."
His lordship drew his check and gave
it to Mr.. Taylor. who took it to the bank
and got gold for it, and then sought the
owner of the two vessels which we're to
convey the voters to Berwick; and to
that individual he offered the gold if he
would simply run his two vessels full of
voters over on the coast of Norway in
stead of taking them direct to their
true and proper destination. Whatever
may have been the shipowner's political
preferences, he certainly was a lover of
gold. He took the f400, the voters we're
spirited away across the North Sea, and
Mr.. Taylor and Lord Delaval secured
their seats.

ENTERPRISE AND OBSTRUCTION.
Portland 'TeIegram.l

EQIk&aEQ 1ciS<tAlE.
Whatever may be said pro and con
concerning the relative merits and pros
poets of Portland and Seattle as rivals
for the honor of being the chief COM
fnercial city of the great northwest. one
thing is clear, the citizens of the latter
place doubly discount those of the for
mer IN the inportan. matter of stand
ing together. When any Improvement
is suggested IN, about or for the benefit
of Seattle, every Seattleite Is in favsr of
il, certain that his city is bound to be
the place and scorninG nothing that viii
prove an auxiliary TO her fast coming
greatness No Seattle man is heard TO
disparage the climate. malign the city
government and publish to the world
that Seattle is presumably the worst
governed, most unhealthful place on the
face of the earth. That is not part of
the program adop. d by long headed
ton to their city. On the contrary. Sc
attic is the hub of northwestern cisiliza-
ton, exceliing no more in climate and
natural adya 1tages of location than in
health, financial thrift and public spirit.
If investigation does not bear out all
these statements, the Seattleite has done
LIS pas sAba AoeAsAAA aRhAAtCAl kCkrCakc
the tale to every listener. publishes it on
every balletin board and spreads il
abroad by means of the daily press.
Portlanders, on the contrary, extoi
the city in one breath and denounce it
in the next. The most ex.ravagant
charges are made against city officials,
sufficient, if true, TO convince the in
tending immigrant that life and proper
~ are here in constant danger, or are at
least exposed to depreciation of every
sort. Those content with minor forms
of mischief ridicule the condition of the
streets, enlarge upon the cost of living.
repest stale jokes about the climate and
assert with an Air of seif-righteousness
that Portland is the wiekedest city of
its size on the continent. Mention the
necessity of bridge across the Villa
mette and it is feared that the commerce
% the city will be ruined; make an at
tempt at dredging and the cost of ma
chine TO do the work is the theme of
constant complaint; talk of railroad
bridge admitting the trains of the Nor
thern Pacific to the magnificent depot
building planned and the cry of injunc-
ton is raised.
