Coop JoKE-W. B. CLARK Of Coles
valley is one of the old time Republi-
cans who slories in the success of his
party and who is always on the alert
for political news. One day last week
Just as he had finished dinner the car
rier arrived with the mail The first
paper he opened proved to be San
Francisco Bulletin Of November, 1866.
The first thing that met his eyes was a
flaming headline ''Creat Republican
Victory. Ohio $4,000, Indiana 49,
900, Pennsylvania 60,000." Right
here Mr.. Clark broke ont of the house
with the paper in his hand, tossed his
hat in the air and at the top Of his
voice cried out, "Hurrah tor the Re-
puGlicans [ said they would win. .
Just here the family and couple of
neighbors who were present came rush
ing out, and III an excited manner
asked what was the matter. Mr.. Clark
cast his eye at the paper and seeing the
date said, "Oh nothing. l was only
trying to make little noise" Since
hearing the news from Ohio Mr.. CLARK
thinks some one has been playing a
trick on him-thas it is not possible
that the paper has been since 1866
coming from San Francisco.

and asking him to interpose.

He Talks of Presidential Candi.
dates.

Chicago, Warner Miller arrived
from the west yesterday. When asked
who we're being spoken OF for Presiden-
tial nominations, he said: g 1t 10 too
early to make statements, as | told them
in California. only regard three names
seriously-Harrison OF Indiana, Edwards
and Logan. Harrison is very popular
man, and would be strong candidate.
Both Edmunds and David Davis were IN
California while I was there, and there
was, of course, good deal of talk On the
subject; but all feel it is too soon to pro-
phesy. By the way. Dana, Of the San,
had been there too, and heard 1t SAID
that he was still for Tilden."
%"Then you think the old stslwart light
will not be revived?"
Il don't see how it can. No, it will
not come up again. A new man will be
taken, upon whom we can unite"
The senator thought the tariff question
might be revived By democrats at the nexI
session, but hardly expected it would
amount to much, in view of the nearness
of the Presidential election and the divi-
sion among the democrats on this issue.
