what Little Squirrel Can Do.

A man from Providence recently re-
ceived from Underhill, VT, fine gray
squirrel. AS tho family were on the
point of going away for n few hours,
the box was hastily set in the hall. He
soon got out of his prison, however,
and going into the sitting-room he
amused himself by jumping from pict-
ure to brackets, one picture being turn
cd over and partly gnawed to pieces,
and the brackets swept of their adorn-
ments and scattered promiscuously.
lie next turned his attention to the
window sash, which he stuck to Just
long enough to make it an eyesore.
Leaving the sitting-room he strayed
into the dining-room, where he found
nothing worthy of his notice but a
bunch of catkins, TO which he paid due
attention, when he wandered to the
sleeping-room, where he must have
reveled for some time. A camphor
bottle was thrown to the floor, a
large cologne bottle was thrown down,
and pictures and ornaments left in wild
confusion, and the window-sash was
gnawed TO such an extent that it will
have to be replaced by new one. He
finally left that room and took stroll
as far as the closet, where he managed
to break towel bracket and complete
ly ruin rubber gas pipe, when he was
disturbed by the lady of the house,
who, on entering, was startled by q
strong odor of camphor and cologne.
A hunt resulted in the discovery of tho
squirrels nose and fore feet protruding
out of a collee-pot. An attempt to
capture him proved sorry task, and,
finally, to save intact what he had not
already ruined, he was gagged in
proper condition for the taxidermist,
and now from stump he quietly sur"
veys the scene of his recent frolic-.

A Popular Fallacy.

Many people think that rheumatism can
not be cured. 1t is caused by bad state
of the blood which deposits poisonous mat
ter in the joints and muscles causing lame
ness, stiffness and swelling of the joints
and excruciatng pains. Kidney Wort will
certainty effect a cure. 1t acts on the
Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, stimulating
them to a healthy action, purifes and en-
riches the blood and eliminates the poison
from the system. Go to the nearest drug
gist, buy Kidney-Wort and be cured.

Gov Cleveland was formally no
tiled of his nomination Tuesday
by the committee appointed for the
purpose. Villas, or Wisconsin,
made the address on behalf of the
committee, and Nicholas M. Price
81 Missouri, secretary of the com
mittee, read the formal announce
ment. Gov. CIeveland's reply was
well chosen and every way admi-
rable. The dispatches say: sThe
Governor spoke exteinporaneously
and not without evidence OF deep
earnestness and feeling. He seemed
to realize the weight of responsible
ity which rested on his shoulders
as the standard-bearer of the party.
The address was not only model
one in thought, but was delivered
with rare grace and effect" Gen.
w. A. Quarles Of this city was the
naember of the committee for Ten
nessee. When the ceremonies were
over refreshments were served.
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, Hon.
Perry Belmont and other distin-
guished Democrats were present.

first futile. No political party can
afford to proclaim such doctrine as
protection for projections sake and
none can hope to win unless it prom
ises to put American labor on a COM
peting basis with foreign labor. These
facts operating together have kept
down the tariff issue and are likely to
keep it down SO long as parties have a
policy 10 subserve and platforms are a
bid for votes. s1n
Gov. Cleveland in his letter of nc
ceptance may take issue with Blaine
as to the benefits that the country has
received from the high duties that
have been imposed since the war, but
he, too, is likely toldeclare for proper
discrimination to protect labor and
there will still be no substantial diff
ference between the parties as to the
tariff OF the immediate future.

THE delegation from the 18th dis
trict to the COngr essional convention,
appointed by the convention which
met Saturday, is made up of Demo
Gratis of all shades. The first man
Mr.. G. H. Bailey, is an unrepentant
Sky-blue, a pronounced protectionist
and a general kicker against the
schemes and Vaccinations of the Boss
Cherry wing of the party. Mr.. Bur-
ney, the next in order, was an original
Sky-blue, but is disposed to accept the
present status of things and work quiet
ly in the traces. The guileless quar-
tetta of young lawyers that follows,
Messrs. DeGraffenreid, Leech, Savage
and Bell, are of the truly orthodox
kind that stick to all the promulga-
tons Of the party. The remaining
gentlemen are all good Democrats.
But notwithstanding this diversity of
opinion on other matters, the delega-
ton is to a man unanimous for our
esteemed citizen, Judge G. w. Tyler,
for Congress.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1884-08-02


A motion that delegates be allow
ed to send proxies to the Congress.
sionaI convention brought forth
some discussion. Mr.. Bet5raffen-
reid very strongly opposed the mo-
ton and it was lost. The following
was agreed on in its stead: !
That in case any delegate cannot
attend, he shall notify the Chair
man of the District Committee, and
he, together with the Chairman of
the County Committee, must fill
the vacancy. 4
The Chairman of the Convention
was authorized to appoint the Coun-
ty Executive Committee. and the
Convention adjourned. ~
Calls for Hon. Joseph E. Wash
ington were made, and that gentle
man took the stand. He was a
candidate for Congress, but did not
ask for the endorsement of Mont
gomery Countians as long as enc OF
their fellow-cpuptymer was before
the Convention In that event he
only askedto be their second choice.
Give the home man their support,
and if he could not be. nominated,
then he asked the support of the
Montgomery delegation.

MUNFORD AND WAKEFIELD

The nominations made by the
Convention last Saturday gave
very general satisfaction. Messrs.
Munford and Warfield are two OF
the best citizens of the county,; they
are thoroughly representative and
every way well qualified for the
positions they have been nominated
to fill. The former is lawyer of
good ability and is very conserva-
tive In all of his political views. The
latter Is the President of the Mont
gomery county Farmers Associa-
ton and one of our leading agri-
culturists. He is a live, progress
i've man and Representa- better than
any one who could have been chosen
the advanced type of the Southern
farmer. Both of the candidates are
safe men and will spend more time
looking after the interests of their
constituents than in seeking oppor-
tunities for personal aggrandize-
ment. ft4 e
