An Othce-seeking Crank.

Washington, Aug. 17-Visitors at the
capital yesterday morning were much
startled by the loud words of a crank. He
stationed himself in the hall of repre-.
sentatives and began to address an
imaginary audience. He was dressed
fairly well, while an old slouch hat was
pulled down over his eyes. In the midst
oi his discourse he read letter from ex.
President Hayes, promising him an Office.
He grew noisy, and was finally escorted
out of the building by a police
man. Investigation proved the
Hayes letter to begenuine. A gentleman
who knew the crank said that few years
ago he was prosperous merchant in an
interior town IN Ohio. One fatal day he
received letter from Hayes inviting
him to Washington, saying he would get
hlm position in the government service.
The unfortunate man sold out his bust.
ness and started for the capital. He
danced attendance on the white house
for year, and then his money gave out.
He never got an Office, and lost his mind
from the disappointment. When last
seen to-day he was trying to enter into
negotiations with some one to hire hall.
He will be sent back to Ohio.

Something About It's Alleged Dual Or
ganizatIop.
Milwaukee Herald
Elsewhere in this Issue will be found
an order from Gov. Ordway to the acci:
dental commissioners of this county,
commanding them to surrender their
commissions. In pursuance of the same
policy, whatever that may be, the gov.
ernor has named T.. L. Corliss, Geo.
Arnold and w. Stuart as commissioners
and they have located county seat at
Ferestbnrg, held one or two meetings
and we understand will make some
county appointments today.
Without entering into any discussion
as to the Legality of either the accidental
or pretended organization. we may be
allowed to remark that in this last move
Dakota's incubus has shown his old time
regard Tor the peoples wishes, in nam
ing for commissioners two men wLo are
particularly offensive in the nostrils OF
the people, and it will be necessary for
IN. Goddlemighty" to call them several
times by name before they will smell
any sweeter. One of these men was
o'SA AAS' Aah6iy uSiSuteu dl IUe DallOE
box last fall, in his own precinct, and
the other was just as much defeated in
sentiment. Neither could have gained
such Office by ballot, and Nehemiah
knew it.
Whatever may be any mans preferen-
ces. as to the two county organizations
the accidental and the pretended-that
the former was accidental cannot
weaken its legality or render any less
genuine the signatures of Ordway and
Secretary Teller which the commissions
bear. One OF two things seems certain:
Either the Letcher organization was
effected by little sharp practice by
which Ordway was euchered out OF
his choice of commissioners-simply
that and nothing more-or he has tacitly
consented to it, getting his price for bis
official signature, and that the present
bluster is to pacify Billy VanEps, and
deprive him Billy of his share OF the
loot; and the latter horn OF the dilemma
seems to be one which the truly great
Nehemiah has chosen. In that case, if
Billy chances to have Nehemiah where
the hair is all short he is apt to yank it;
but Nehemiah is an old weasel that sell.
