Robinson's shown stamped on them
are almost every day taken in even now
at circus ticket wagons in the West.
Another of his devices was to have a
poster containing the music of favorite
song of his, each note two or three feet
long, posted on the fences, so that the
people were soon humming the music.
As late as 1868 he had the largest and
best circus and menagerie in the country,
and was worth 800, 900, according to
Mr. Hutchinson, of Barnum's firm, who
travelled with him for several years. His
real name was Fayette Ludowic Robin
son, and he was a native of Avon, Liv-
ingston county, N. Y. His father and
grandfather fought in the revolutionary
army He embarked in the show bust
ness in 1S45, and was engaged in the
atrical enterprises as late as 1882. He
took out his first circus in 1856. At tho
time Of the John Brown raid he was in
the South, and it was learned that he
had once managed an "Unele Toms
Cabin company, lie was warned out
Of town, Columbia, S. c., and fed on
foot leaving show worth some $40, 900.
lie derived his soubriquet from Yankee
character in a play called "Days of '76,n
which he played more than 4, 600 times.
His son Silas, who used when scarcely
more than an infant to travel with his
flther's wagon show and sing "Old Uncle
Ned, is now editor and publisher Of the

425 Votes for Rlafne.

THAT'S wHAT Mr. BAYNE FIGURES OUT FOR HIM
ENOUGH 10 NOMINATE ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
Mr.. Bayne, going over the various estimates Of
the strength OF the candidates whose names will
receive support at the republican convention SAYS
that none OF them give Blaine strength enough
He says that Blaine Will get ten delegates from
Alabama, at least two in Florida, twelve in Georgia
four In Kentucky, all the Louisiana delegation il6
and two from Massachusetts,, though by the high.
est estimates he is given none in either OF these
states In Maryland he viii get IA instead OF 49,
allotted him by the conservative estimates: two
instead of one In New Hampshire; in Ohio, 2s
instead OF a. in Tennessee seven instead OF four;
In Pennsylvania 4S or co. and in the Territories 12
He thinks he says, that the straightouts from Viz
ginia will be recognized at Chicago, thus making
solid delegation OF "a from that state for Blaine.
This would give Blaine something like z25-more
than enough to give him the nomination.
