BUTTE CITY. JUNE II. 1884
The coming man--Samuel J. TIL
den.
The nomination of Blaine is a tri-
umph of the ''outs'' over the ''ins."
Mr. Arthur's adherents are now in
vited to sit down to asumptuous ban
quet of fricasseed crow.
J. Warren Keifer paid the Ma
tional Republican Convention the
magnificent compliment of staying
away from it, Keifer can be used
now to better advantage to the party.
New York is to have a cremato,y
At an expense of 81, 600. Wall street,
for the past month. has been about as
hot as most New Workers want it,
and no better time could have been
chosen to introduce incineration into
Gotham.
Mr.. John Logan has disappointed
many of his adherents in accepting
the second place upon the Republican
Presidential ticket. His acceptance
e~fectually shelves him for all time to
come.
Some of our eastern Republican
exchanges contain much interesting
reading matter in the shape of long
editorials, showing that Blaine has no
earthly chance for a nomination at
Chicago. "What fools these mortals
be-"
"Gath" in his Chicago letter to the
Cincinnati Inquirer under date of
the 5th inst. wrote: "Tom Ochiltree
came around to my room last night,
saying that the damned Blaine ras-
calls had stolen five Arthur votes out
of Texas, paying $50 apiece for them.
Tom is for Arthur and REFORM" The
evidence is accommodating that
"Blaine's ~rascals" did some crooked
work at Chicago.
After Clayton was nominated for
temporary chairman of the Chicago
convention the following dispatch
was sent from that city to the New
York Sun: "The feeling over the
Powell Clayton business lntensiies.
Arthur's friends have started a sar-
castle rumor that ex>Gov. Franklin
J.. Moses, of South Carolina, has left
Blackwell's Island and is on the way
to accept the permanent chairman
ship of the convention"
Senator Coke, of Texas, has a re-
markably powerful voice, and it is
said that when he was discussing the
pleuro-pneumonia bill and got his
throttle valve wide open, the pages
put Gotten in their ears and wedged
the window sashes to keep them
from rafting and breaking the glass.
At the climax of his v0ciferations
Coke announced that he intended to
speak SO that the whole country
would hear HIM ; and then as he
paused for breath Mr.. Beck re-
marked "Guess they will, Coke, if
hey're not stone deaf"
The latest from the Tilden health
bulletin is that the venerable gentle>
man has retired to his country home
on the Hudson and has engaged to
play short-stop in y local base ball
club. That the report has been per-
mltted to 60 twenty-four hours with
out denial is satisfactory proof that
the presidential health bureau pre-
sided over by General Butler is not
being worked for all 1t is worth. The
contradictory rumor that the jaw of
the sage refuses to work and that be
has resorted to breathing through his
arm pits as an economic measure in
the interest of his lungs has been due,
this writing, for several hours.
One of the strong points urged in ob. .
ection to the nomination of Senator .
Of Ohio, or Senator F.,
of Indiana, was that in :
case of the nomination of either the j
would lose a member of q
he Uuited States Senate. This is :
aot by any means an unimportant i
consideration. and its significance is t
lot decreased by the fact that of the ( 3
'eats to be vacant on March 4, 1885, =
eleven are now occupied by DEMO- r
rats and ten by Republicans, as

KANSAS, California, Florida, Georgia,
