THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

COLUMBIA STAR:-GovernOr Drew IN
formed a Times-Union reporter that he
would not support Bloxham if nomina-
ted. Is this Democracy?
Drew interview" 1.-The big fish at war.
Either a Governor or an Ex-Governor has
lied A disgusting war of words between
Drew and Bloxham that will end at the
canon's mouth or will be settled by a
game Of .mumble peg"
The Jacksonville Times -Union:-Gov.
Bloxham has already said that he would
not accept a denomination, and he has
only to repeat the declaration. Governor
Drew could hardly refuse to follow an
example that would be warmly approved
by his entire party.
Jacksonville Herald With the largest
concessions to Governor Bloxham and
Ex-Governor Drew; conceding the bril-
liant era of development that has been a
part of the present administration, and
with the profoundest recognition of Gov.
Drew's splendid service in redeeming the
state and ruling it wisely, we are con-
strained to say, strongly and emphati-
calIy, that, in this critical time, the pre-
servarion of our state government to the
clean hands and interested care of its
honest and permanent citizens, is an is
sue that outweighs the claims of fifty
Bloxhams or fifty Drews, and the merits
of fifty administrations even so popular
as theirs.

If He Were Rich.

Il wish was as rich as Vanderbuilt,"
said n brakeman as he smouged an
orange from fhe train boy and proceeded
to pay for it in talk. IF | had that old
buffers money I'd have some rare sport
tell you"
what would you do?" inquired the
train boy as he removed the oranges
from the breakman's reach.
"Well, I'd take a piece of railroad
where two down grades meet; then at the
bottom of the two hills I'd put up big
grand stand and have lemonade, and
beer, and lunch counters, and all that
sort of thing. Then I'd invite all my
friends to come there, and when they'd
all get comfortably fixed I'd show them
some sport as was sport. I'd put one To-
comotive at the top of the grade, two or
three miles back, and the other on the
other side, the same distance away, and
then I'd have 'em both started with full
steam and wide open valve at the same
time"
"You would want double track, of
course" said the train boy, 'your idea
being to sea which would pass the grand
stand first, and so make a race of it."
Double track fddlesticks! exclaimed
the brakeman. Zone track, you simple
ton. Don't you see the engines would
run together right there in front of the
people, and that collision would be one
of the most magnificent spectacles ever
witnessed by the human eye. But don't
give it away, cause Tn going to copy
right the idea and play it on shares with
Barnum next year. The country will go
wild over it. We'n have cheap Iocomo-
tives made for our especial use, of course,
and carry our own track with us. Then
we'n put an engineer on each engine, and
they'll do the grand jump act just be-
fore the collision, having something soft
to light on, of course. Oh. there's mil
lions in it Gully. Lend me a dollar to
buy postage stamps to write to Barnum
with, and I'll make you a present of the
Lemonade privilege first season"

HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD.
A Story About II Joker who Served
as an Illustration of his Own Chest

A Story About Joker who Served
mt
From the Lincoln Journal.
A few minutes after rolling out Of Te-
cumseh for Nebraska City, the other day,
Conductor Lee stepped into the car to
work up his tickets. The first man he
met was bound for Atchison, and the
ObEging conductor pulled the cord, stop
ped the train and gave the estrayed pas
sengeF directions how to take short cut
back to the depot. Lee started ahead
and as he had a'ten-mile run to the first
station, he worked his way through the
car quite leisurely. AS he passed the
last seat a brisk-lookingg gentleman asked:
''What did you put that man off for?
Was he trying to beat a ride?'
"Oh, no." said Lee; she was on the
wrong train, and I let him off to go back
to to the depot"
The traveller laughed long and merrily.
WELL" said he, I'll be blowed! if he
hasn't sense enough to keep on the right
train, he ought to stay at home and have
a guardian appointed"
And the merry man jCked on the sub
ject, and told a story quite in point SO
well that the conductor, and several pas
sengers who gathered around to listen,
were convulsed with amusement. At
last he drew out his little mileage book,
and, extending it with the careless grace
that characterizes the accomplished trav-
eler, he remarked:
Just tear me out to AtchisOn."
A hush fell upon the crowd, SO deep
and still that the putting of the engine
sounded like the heavipg of a volcano,
and the only thing that saved the veteran
traveller from the expenditure of $500
was the absence of a counter where the
beer could be setup.
