THE ROSTERS ORIGIN.

Questions as to the origin of the roos-
ter as an emblem of Democratic success
were asked a number of Democrats, but
none seemed able to give answer. Com
missioner Hoyne was finally appealed to.
As an encyclopedia of historical fact
Commissioner Hoyne has few equals.
"The rooster" said he why, l don't
know, but it seems to me it originated
with Chapman, who edited the Indian
apolis Sentinel way back in the 4O's.
The indianapolis Sentinel has always
been Democratic paper, and old Chap
man was red.hot Democrat. Iremem-
Der when Polk defeated Clay in 1874,
Chapman displayed at the head of his
paper cock in the attitude of growing.
l amt certain whether that was the first
time he did it or not, but l know that l
never saw it before that time. and it was
about 1874 that first heard the express.
sion, Crow, Chapman, crow 1t became
a popular phrase whenever rooster
was employed as emblematic of victory
Democratic victory, for the Republi-
cans never used it. They never used
any emblem great deal. Sometimes an
eagle is displayed, and is now, but it is
seldom. Since Chapman's day the rooster
has always described Democratic tri-
umph, being displayed by the Democrat
ic newspapers, particularly the Cincin-
natl Enquirer"
~ do not think the origin was in In
DIANA" said Judge Gresham, Though
that is only an impression. Mr.. Hoyne
may be right. He is usually accurate.
/ have heard the phrase Crow, Chap
man, crow and it is plausible to believe
that it would not have grown into pop.
ular favor had there not been something
of special nature to connect Chapman
with it. II every newspaper had used
the emblem the expression would not
have attached to Chapman particularly.

the fighting qualities of the Jackson

PARTNERSHIP IN oLDEN TIMES.

In the election OF 1892 George Clinton
was the candidate on one side and John
jay on the other. The returns showed
a majority of about 800 for Mr.. Jay, but
in the counties of Clinton, Otsego and
Tioga technical errors were discovered
in the returns which threw out Mr.. Jay
by los adverse majority. The counties
Of Clinton and Tioga Offset each other,
and the result was due to the manner of
dealing with the Otsego County returns.
The law required that the returns from
each county, after tcing delivered to the
Sheriff, sohuld by him be delivered to
the State Canvassing Committee A
man named Smith had been Sheriff Of
Otseeo county, and, when his term ran
out, had been reappointed. He declined
the second term. and his successor was
named, but did not receive his commits
sion until after the election. Smith
therefore received the ballots and sent
them to Albany. The majority of the
Canvassing Committee. being Clinton's
partisans, decided that Smith was not
the legal Sheriff at the time of the cleo
ton, and threw out the Otsego returns
altogether, thus changing Jays majority
of 300 to 100 majority Tor Clinton. Not
withstanding great political excitement.
Clinton was duly inaugurltcd and served
out his term.
This precedent, ninety.two yesrs old,
shows that in the good old times" par
tisanship was as violent and unreasoning
as it is now. 1t also shows that in obe-
dience to the legally constituted authori-
ties. the people aqucisced in the declared
result, although majority of them knew
that they had been cheated. Hartford

man named Brown, living on Beacon
Hill, not far from the State House, is told.
He is an ardent Republican, and did not
retire on election night until quite late.
He awoke in the morning about seven
o'clock with shouts of "Hurrah for
Blaine" Blaine is our next President"
ringing in his ears. He rubbed his eyes
and looked around, and then he listened
for repetition of the shouts which wax
ed him up. He did hear shouting of
some kind, and being very earnest in his
interest in the result of the election,
thought he would go down town and
learn the result of the election. Slipping
out of bed without awakening his wife, he
proceeded to dress; but as he opened the
door 10 go out, she awoke and asked:
"What are you going out SO early for?"

ascertain beyond doubt who is elected.

and he rushed downstairs and down the
street. As he sped along he thought he
heard voice behind him, and locking
toward his house, saw his wife leaning
out of the front window. and gesticula-
ting as If to call him back. But he was
in too great hurry to go back then, and
went on to get the news.
A boy passing along the street looked
at him and called out: SAY, mister,
you've forgot something, haven't you?"
Brown did not deign to notice the boy
and made the mental comment that boys

he was one himself Then IL struck him
that the boy had said Just what his wife
had as he rushed out of his bed room;
but he dismissed it as being a mere coin.
cidence, and condolences, he knew,
proved nothing. Then, as he neared the
Republican headquarters (he was on the
Common), he noticed that two young
ladies looked curiously at him and then
at each other, and then burst into laugh.
As they passed him he heard one of
them say: HE has forgotten his"-the
other part of the sentence he did not
hear.
This peculiar experience diverted his
mind from Republican headquarters, and
he had reached the corner of the Com
mon, opposite Park Street Church, when
he was hailed by an acquaintance who
was laughing immoderately.
Hello, Brown. What-ha, ha! hal
have you been doing? Forgot something

inside of it. "What have / forgotten?

RIDING IN A BOXCAR.
A Young Woman Makes n Trip From St
Louis to Atlanta.

-
On the extreme western end of Foun-
dry Street the curiosity seeker will find
a young woman who made the trip from
st Louis to Atlanta in box car.
The name of the girl who performed
this remarkable feat is Maggie Ferguson.
She is about fifteen years OF age and is
decidedly pretty. She arrived in Atlanta
Friday morning, having made the trip
from Nashville to Atlanta in locked
box car, from which she was released in
the Western and Atlantic Railroad yard.
s oon after leaving the car she approach
ed Capt, Grim, who was then on Ala
bama Street to whom she said that she
was a stranger in the city, and th2t she
wanted to find Jme relatives who lived
in Atlanta. She did not present the
neatest appearance when she approach
ed Capt. Grim. Her wearing apparel
was somewhat soiled, and the valise she
carried in her hand looked as though it
had passed through several campaigns.
She informed the Captain that her name
was Maggie Ferguson, and said that she
was looking for a family by the same
name. Capt. Grim secured city
| directory, and among the many Fergu-
sons therein found woman was in quest
of. They resided on Foundry Street,
and to the place the Captain conducted
her. On his way the girl electrified the
Captain by telling him that she ran
away from her home in st. Louis and
that she had ridden all the way from St
Louis to Atlanta on, freight trains. Yes
terday Capt. Grim told the story to u
Constitution reporter, who called to see
the girl. The reporter met young girl
of about Is, with bright blue eyes and
golden hair and bright sunny nature
She was as vivacious as could be, and
when the reporter made his mission
known and asked her to tell about her

smile played about he mouth, and her
eyes looked straight into those before
