SNlFKINS' DISAPPOINTME NT.
A Butte Republican Finds Hi
House Illuminated for
Cleveland.

A good story is told on one of our
most prominent business men. His
name is-well no matter what it is
we'll call him Snifkins for short.
Snifkins is q strong Republican,
while his wife. who has an opinion of
her own, is equally as strong a DEM
ocrat. A little over q week ago
Snifkins left tho city to attend to
some business in the country and told
his good wife he would not return
until SINE time during the middle Of
this week. Last Saturday evening
the great Democratic ~j0llificatiOn
came oft and Mrs. s. like q good
Democrat and q true patriot con-
Guided to take q hand in celebrating
the great victory. Several pounds OF
canGles were purchased and every
window in the house was brilliantly
Illuminated, SO brilliantly indeed
that when the immense procession
passed the building it gave three
rousing cheers for the occupants.
Soon after this Snifkins. who had
finished his business sooner than ne
expected, returned home, coming
into the CITY q, q point some distance
from the centre Of the excitement.
He. however, saw the glare OF light
and heard the bray of trumpets fur
ther on, and supposing 1t was q cele-
bration of Blaine's election, put
spurs 10 ! is horse and made q bee
line for his home. Here he saw lights
rom basement to garrett, and now he
knew 1t all INFANT Blaine's election.
With q whoop and hurrah for Blaine
he jumped from his foaming Buceph-
alus and rushing through the yard.
bounded int, the room with: Didn't
tell you 70, Sally, didn't 1 tell you
Blai,e would be elected. What .
good little vile you are" aid look
ing around at the lights, "You knew
it would please me. Let's give
three cheers for Blaine; hip, hip,
hurrah," and throwing his hat to the
ceiling the overjoyed Snlfkins
cspered around the room like an In
dian nj . war dance.
"Why, Sni kins." said the now
thoroughly astonished wife, "Blalne
isn't elected" .
"WeIl what in the name of blank
and VI INK does all these light
mean?"
Mean? Why. they mean that
Cleveland is elected and that the
ovs and I are having a regular,
good, eld-fashioned Publication over
It,"
snifkins paused, drew q long
| breath. looked at bis wife, then 81
the lgh,s. aud finally settling bis
gaze upon his youngest son-who by
the way had always espoused his
| nulitical cause while the elder sided

Robbery and Arson at Wlokes.

At Wickes last Monday night =
man by the name of Pugh was held
up and made to deliver $l45, which
he had on his person. On the same
night at Wickes, as is supposed by
the same brace of rufians, the house
of Mrs.. Lambert, a widow woman,
was fired and burned to the ground
together with all her furniture and
clothing, the inmates barely escaping
with their lives. Besides house,
furniture and clothing, Mrs. LAM
bert lost $3.50 in money, which was
consumed in the flames. Two men,
who we're suspected Of the robbery
and arson, were arrested and exam
ined by the officers and turned loose,
there not being sufficient evidence to
hold them.

Editor MINER:
The Democrats Of this city and
vicinity had . rOusing ratification
meeting last evening. A Temporary
stand was erected on The corner near
Clark 4 Larabie's bank, fr I'M which
the large and enthusiastic assem-
0lage was addressed by Hon. J. e.
Robinson. Col. Sharp, b. G.. Hum
Der. Ed II. Irvine, Addison Smith
AMI George w. Carleton. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed, showing how
deeply the people of this far-off region
felt tor the success of Cleveland.
Hendricks and Reform.
Butte may have turned out more
me and women at her recent joiifi.
cation meeting. but enc thing sure
they could not have eviDced mole
JOY than those who participated last
evening. The whole town was q
glare If fire, and the following res
licences and business houses were
beautifully illuminated: r. 8. Kelly,
Charley Bislenberg, Mrs. Miles, I'D
Irvine. Judge Batterton, the College,
Sisters school, Kleinchmidt 4 Co.
aud George w. Carleton. The
Speeches made were brief and to the
point, and the crowd cheered Justify
at every period. The cannon from
the peniten,iary was hauled down
and planted in the middle of the
street. and 100 guns were fred in
honor of Cleveland and Hendricks.
speaking of the cannon reminds
me of Marshal BOtkin's reply to MI.
Kelly's telegram requesting tho use
OF the cannon, he said: "Yes,take it
and bust it if you can; l am glad to
know you are happy" The boys
here, Republicans and D.mOcrats
alike, enjoyed the Marshal's reply
immensely.
The MINER will please inform its
evening contemporary that the
Clevel md and Het bricks club Of

And may bring her safely homo.
