a Nuss at Mountain City.

Max Schocn received n letter from
Mountain City yesterday which con-
tained AN account Of Il ruction that had
just taken place between A. Fraleich
and John Huber, n couple OF eld-timers
OF That place. 1t appears that q quar-
rel occurred over some trivial
matter, resulting in some
overt action, when Fralcich dug up
an old rusty blunder-buss, swapping the
weapon ut Huber several times, when
Huber seized IL stick OF s:ovc-wood with
which he assaulted his assailant. Fl.
nally Fraleich's old gun went off. dan
gerousIy w~ounding Huber in the vest.
Al this j%uncture the latter drew Of his
forces aud hostilities ceased. The ONLY
casualties reported were. n skinned CONT
stealer; q perforated vest and soIne
denOrulized kitchen furniture-and the
pale rag Of peace still futters in the

1t is amusing to note the ingenious eff
forts Of the Republican organs to induce
the country 10 believe that Mr.. Cleve-
land is the chosen friend Of the monop-
olists, while Mr.. Blaine is not only will
ling, but anxious TO trail his big plume
in the very mud Of the slums in order
to serve the dear people. The ridicu-
.loTsness of their claim is sufficiently
manifest in the fact that scarcely an in
diyiduHl or corporate monopoly in
America, who have made tho least sign
by which their preference may be deter
mined, or have given utterance to n SEN
timent upon the subject of the Presi-
dency, have failed to endorse Blaine.
The proof OF the pudding is in the eat
ing thereof, and when such men as jay
Gould, W. ii. Vanderbilt and the class
OF men whom they represent, prefer Mr..
Blaine 10 any other, it - useless to
parade him as an enemy Of monopolists
and n friend OF the people.
