Oh, we are four friends of the workingman,
We raze down his wages whenever we can.
We squeeze the market for all il will yield,

We're four good men and we 90 to pray
In costly church in high-priced way;
For the blood of penniless man was split
For Field, Sage, Gould and Vanderbilt.
We're four simple men and we never know
Whether up'or down the market will go:
But we never get left and we never get fooled,

We are four poor men, and our bread is wet
With the homely sauce of our honest sweat;
A horny hand is our noblest gauge,

Cut down the poor mans work and wage,
They grind and grab, in their greed of gain,

JAMESTOWN. OAK, Oct. 2S.-At a Repub-
lican mass meeting at the court house to-
night, called by the county central commit
tee, preamble and resolutions were adopted
depreciating the action of the central Repub-
lican committee Of Barnes county, in endors-
ing thee Democrats on the legislative ticket
for the Ninth district, instead of three of the
candidates, Richardson, Steele and
Stevens, and the daily Capital of
this city in its refusal to
support Mr.. Steele, and resolving that the
Republicans of Stutsman county will use their
best endeavors to secure the election of
johnson Nickens and Chas Richardson for
the council, and Steele, Stevens and Will
liams to the lower house, and that it is the
opinion of this convention that the daily
Capital does not express the sentiments of
the community and certainly not of the Re-
publicans of this county when it attacks the
character of W. F. Steele as it has heretofore
done.

GRESHAM has finally swung around the
circle and landed in Supreme Court Judge
ship, where he came from when President
Arthur picked him up to stop hole in his
cabinet. Mccullough takes the Treasury and
will probably run it on the high pressure
principle that characterized his administra-
ton during the Grant regime. He will watch
the store of silver dollars and give his Wall
street partners valuable pointers, and share
in the profits of the deals he may create or be
able to promote, and as the time until next
March is short it will be his policy to make
hay while the sun shines. Arthur's admin
istration will go into history with all the
fragrance of machine politics and ring favor
itism

other states. The greater portion of the
money has been placed in this city and
Brooklyn, in the hopes of drawing away
some of the workingmen from Cleveland
The money has been spent in the formation
of clubs, expenses of speeches at meet
ings, in printing and paying the
usual crowd of strikers, who are very noisy
for liquor. The money was received from
the Republicans in amounts of 50, 600, So
600 and SIS, 600 at a time as fast as it was re-
quested. About week ago the money ran
short and there was about 5000 to be
paid. This amount has since been liaudated
by the Republican. committee, and now there
is another large sum necessary for
the past weeks expenses. Besides
this large amount expended, upward
of 100000 will be required from now until
election is over to do any good. The Repub-
ican committee claims to be short of funds,
and whether it can raise this amount is
doubtful. If they do not the Butler vote on
election day will sink out of sight. The
managers of the Butler campaign appear
very much disappointed at the prospects, and
now claim only one-half the votes they ex
pected to get month ago.
1t is more than likely that the collapse is a
part of the trick is beat Cleveland. Having
got lot of the Peoples party thoroughly i'm
bued with the idea that Cleveland mnst be
beaten because he is the foe of
the workingmen, the plan is
now to place the vote for Blaine
instead of throwing it away on Butler.
Whether the plan will work remains to be
seen. The workingmen may permit them
selves to be used as cat's'paws with which to
pull the Blaine chestnuts out of the fire, but
if is rather doubtful. They may, however,
have the pleasure of being burned for their
pains.

HIS First IronicaI Speech at a Country
RALLY.

HIS ITrst Iy'onicGE Speech at q Country
Rally.
On my way to Ohio last week, writes Carp
from Washington to the Cleveland Leader,
chatted with a saloon-keeper, who, as boy,
went to school with Sam Cox. He told me
Sam was rather a dandifed fellow and the
boys used to laugh at his foppish ways and
rather mimicked his dudel-ike gait. Little
Sam paid no attention to them, however, but
wenton the even tenor of his way and turned
out better than any of them. His father was
Ezekiel t. Cox, one of the officeholding
politicians of the county, who, though not
rich, possessed enough means to give Sam a
college education After he graduated he
went back 70 GAINESVILLE and studied law, and
then made grand stroke by marrying into
the rich Buckingham family of GAINESVILLE.
ms gave him start and the influence Of
one OF the most powerful families of southern
ONO helped him along. He soon ranked
well as lawyer, and in due time got to con-
gress, where he made his mark. Some of
the family, think, still live in GAINESVILLE.
and Sam occasionally returns there to visit
This saloon keeper told me how Sunset
Cox first made one of those cutting remarks
for which he has since become so famous in
the halls of congress. Said he: cit was at
country political meeting, and Sam Cox,
still a boy, with the down hardly grown upon
his upper lip, was making one of his first po-
litical speeches. An opposing lawyer of
GAINESVILLE, an older and somewhat famous
man q think the saloon keeper said his
name was Knight, was present. This man
attempted to confuse young Cox by making
remarks and interrupting him by asking him
questions. Sam answered him with polite
ness several times in witty repartee, but at
the fourth interruption he grew disguised,
and, raising his small form on tiptoe and
peering out at the audience until every eye
was turned on the form of his interlocutor,
he pointed his finger at him and said in tones
of cutting sarcasm: "Ah, it is you who have
been making these Interruptions. I thought
Mr.. Knight was more of gentleman than to
do such unmannerly actions.' Hereupon
the crowd burst into laugh at Knight, and
Knight blushed crimson. warrant you he
would have given SO bill to have been able
to have slipped through the knot hole under
his chair.''

Blaine. THE KNo " NOTHING

Blaine has grown so Injured to the habit of
being untruthful that he seems to be in
capable of discriminating between the.truth
and falsehood. Blaine has denied that he
was a Know Nothing in 1856, but it has
been proved he lied. AS if to more fully en-
tangle himself he has declared ne was dele
gate to the Republican convention of 1856
that nominated Fremont, and to verify that
falsehood he took the driveling old man
along on his 'stour," to clinch the lie. But
how does Fremont know of his own personal
knowledge that Blaine was at the conven-
ton. Fremont was not there himself. With
the foolishness of imbecility he takes the
false statement of Blaine and upon it pre-
dicates false statement of his own. But
even two distinguished Presidential candi-
dates, (neither of them elected) can not turn
a lie into the truth.
But here comes the truth of the matter.
Don NJ. Dickinson, of Detroit, makes the
following statement in the Free Press Of that
city:
Well, have looked up the files of the New
York Semi-WeekIy Tribune of June 20, 1856,
in which very full report is given of the pro-
ceedings of that convention. 1t mentions every
motion, every officer, every speech, every COM
mittee, every report, every debate. The con-
vention lasted parts of three days, commencing
June II and ending June 10, at 8 p. m. Mark
H. Drennel (Dunnel) was the Maine committee
on credentials. Henry Carter the
Maine committeeman on platform. George NJ.
Weston was the Maine committeeman on perma-
nent organization. A. p. Morrow (Morrill was
the Maine vice president, and Joseph Bartlett
was the Maine executive committeeman.
Ex-Gov. Kent, of Maine, made motion, and the
same gentleman made speech. But James G.
Blaine is not mentioned as a delegate, and his
name appears nowhere in the proceedings.
In this case, as in all others where Blaine
undertakes statement Of fact, the record is
against him.

The pension dodge is being industriously
worked in Iowa, among the four to six thous-
and pension applicants whose cases have
been hung up in the pension Office for the
last five years. Within the past two weeks
a number of men have been riding through
the state on free railroad tickets, visiting
personally the applicants, and promising and
pro missing immediate adjustment of
their claims, provided they vote the
Blaine ticket. This partisan work is being
done under the leadership of Dudley, the
rascal who worked Ohio on the same plan.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Two correspondents of the New York E0ening
Post have discovered that Moses and Confucius
are both anti-BlaiDe men. Moses, in Exodus
xviii, ri, says: ''Thou shalt provide out of all
the people able men, such as fear God, men of
truth, hating cOUetOusness. and place such over
them to be rULers.'' While Confucius says: ''If
those who govern States think only of amassing
riches for their personal use they will infallibly
attract toward them depraved men, and these
depraved men will govern the kingdom. There
fore, those who govern kingdoms ought never to
make their private fortune out of the public
revenues, but their only riches should be justice
and equity

MITCHELL, D. T., Oct. 2s.-Tbe Repub-
licans of this city held caucus last night
which was well attended by the business
men. Strong efforts are to be mades judg-
ing from the action last night, to defeat the
Peoples ticket. Two tickets were before the
caucus, one headed by Geo. A. Johnston. a
leading merchant, the other by s. D. Cook,
proprietor of the Daily Republican. The
Johnston ticket received 100 votes. Cooks
one single solitary ballot. This seems to be
only one of the many slaps at this Repub-
lican editor, which are becoming so common
in political caucuses and conventions.

THE Detroit Free Press has a timely word
of comment on Blaine's Indiana speeches
wherein he opened new campaign Of fire by
rushing about the rostrum, and with blanched
cheeks, making the awful statement that
eighteen states of the Union, possessing a
full majority of all the electoral votes, are
about ''to attempt TO seize upon the goOernnent."

YESTERDAY the Supreme Court of Ohio
pronounced the Scott liquor law of that state
unconstitutional and void. This law was
passed by the last Republican legislature
under stress of political weather, with the
full knowledge that it was unconstitutional,
and Governor Charles Foster packed" the
court to sustain the law, and a nice kettle of
fish is the consequence. Under the opera
ton of the law, some $4,000, 900, more or
less, have been paid by the dealers, and as
this has been received by illegal process it

tiles have depended upon this source to meet
their current expenses, and having made no
other provisions, will be in the comfortable
position of bankrupts for some time to come.

THE efforts of the French to embroil Japan
with China utterly fails. The position of
Japan is, and viii remain one of strict neu-
trality between China and France. Japan
has little, if anything in common with
France, while her commercial relations with
China are intimate and valuable. Her true
interest is to avoid any complication with
either in their warlike struggles. Japan's
rice and lumber trade with China is of
great magnitude. Should France in
her squabble with China, declare
these commodities contraband of war, t
would produce much suffering in Japan in
the large population devoted to the produc-
ton of these exports. Japan's sympathies in
that case would naturally be against France,
but the Japanese seem determined to keep
out of the conflict But in the event of a
positive declaration Of war against China
France would suffer as well as Japan, for she
could no longer obtain coal from that coun-
try to supply her steamships, which would
cause immense embarrassment.
