Delegate Raymond. in conversation
with Minneapolis Tribune reporter,
says: II do not believe that better nomi-
nation than Judge Clifford could have, Jun
der the circumstances, been made. He is .
clean man in every respect. and has no
connection with cliques or rings, having
for their object the advancement of their
own personal interests, regardless Of the
interests of the people of the territory.
His following at the outset was made
up exclusively of delegates opposed to
the combination, who we're endeavoring
TO get up south Dakota caucue,
which was to be used for the purpose of
advancing the interest OF Bis
marck in the north, and Pettigrew
and following in the south. and his
adherents up to the last'ballot we're COM
posed entirely (save Minnehaha county,
of the element opposed, as stated.
Judge Clifford aud consulted together
from the time Of his arrival at Pierre,
and at no time we're We antagonistic. I
regret I am not public speaker, for if
I could so talk it would afford me much
pleasure to canvass the territory in his
interest. The creation of section lines
at the Pierre convention, was mere
subterfuge Of . few. who used
it solely for personal ends. Yet
I will heartily join. Judge
Clifford in his published assertions of
his intended labor for division of the
territory, the admission of the south half
to statehood, and the opening Of the
Sioux reservation, and all other measures
in the interest of the territory not COM
pleted or accomplished before the closing
Of my term. Judge Clifford will be
elected BY large majority, and he will
receive no more cordial support than
from those friendly to my denomination.

1t requires bright mind and big pocket

perience of a well-known gentleman who fell
q victim to the wiles of dashing young lady
who had made up her mind that her lady
guest from abroad should have a share in all
the good things agoing.
"My dear friend" began the note which set
his heart in Auttor one day last week,

and smiles OIL, but just rs the trio wero about
to start ''yours truly" remembered the tickets.
Then began q search for them high and low,
but Cincinnati detective could not have

said the young man, bravcly swallowing his
emotion. There are plenty more tickets at
tho DON ONCE smiles return once moro to
tho faces of his ladies' and so thoy tripped
down tho aisle with hearts as light as his
purse. Tho play went on, villains cursed
and rantod and lovers wooed and tho curtain
went down on the third act, when tho lady
guest leaned in front of their escort and
whispered to "yours truly" "Where do you

that young man sat by and saw them devour

out ito see % friend,' of whom he borrowed
enough to enable him to settle the bill.
Tho next evening these same young ladies

Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky, tells
the following story of his experience in the
confederate army:
Four days before won't to the front with
my regiment we had little girl baby. She
Is now grown, and you always SEQ her with
me nt any social gathering. We'll, in our
army furloughs came very rarely. When
we got into limo thoro was no great chance
for a man to get homo. II was about three
years afterward that n few of us were ono
night going down tho Mississippi on n river
steamer. | had been sick, and was return
ing to my command. but pretty we'll broken
up, even then. As for money, wo did not
have any and the night was hot, as had
laid down on the dock my throat almost
parched with thirst. Pretty soon little
girl came along with big glass of lemonade.
/ tell you IL looked good to me. She saw me
cycling it, stopped minute, looked doubtfully
at mo and finally came up to my side. you
look as If you wanted som ethinR to drink"
sho said, and offered me the glass.
1t wasn't quite tho square thing
to do, but l took it and handed
IL back to her empty. IL was like
nectar to me. Then / thanked tho little
creature, and sent her way. Soon after, just
like every child sho camo back leading her
mother to see tho poor soldier. BY Jupiter,
it was my wife, and tho girl was the baby
whom had last seen as baby but just born.
You can imagine the reunion. They were
with my brothers family, and happened to
be going down tho river. That was the only
time during tho four years fighting that |
saw my wife and my baby, and under these
circumstances what man would ever forget 1t.
