The New York Sun, Democratic, says;
"The Democratic convention will under
stand that neither New York, COnnecti'
cut, New Jersey, Indiana mol Missouri
can be carried for a free trade platform.
Only Kentucky and South Carolina can
be relied upon to support such q policy.
Moreover, upon such a platform the
Democracy can hardly expect to elect
more than one hundred members OF the
next House of Representatives.

The unseating of Mckinley, Of Ohio
and Peele, OF Indiana, and giving their
seats to their Democratic contestants
was so unfair and dlshonorable as to
call condemnation on the act from some
of the most bitter Democrats Of the
House. Robertson, Of Kentucky, a gem
uine bourbon denounced the act in the
most scathiag terms and begged of his
colleagues to perform a wise and just
act for nee in their lives. Blackburn,
another bourbon member from the same
state, told two of the members Of the
committee on elections that they were
making fools of themselves and If they
kept up making these foolish blunders a
little longer they might expect a large
Republican majority in the next Con-
grsss.

A TenderfOOt at Tombstone.

From the Middletown Transcript.
A few days ago a flash young man
from an eastern college arrived at Tomb
stone, Arizona, and registered his rame
at the principal hotel. A socially in
clined person in blue shirt and wide
trimmed hat, who CHANGED to be in the
Office, good-naturediy answered every
question and volunteered vast amount
of interesting information about Arizona
in general and Tombstone in particular.
"Do you see them Gills?" asked the
Tombstoner, pointing through one of the
Office windows. ''Well, them hills is
chock full of pay dirt"
The young man from the east hooked
shocked. .....-
''My dear sir" he said, proudly, but
kindly, "you should say those hills are
not, them hills isl "
The Tombstoner was silent for mo-
ment.. He looked the young man from
the east critically over as if he was estl-
mating the size of coffin he would wear.
Then drawing out an lvory-stocked sew
en- shooter of elaborate style and finish,
he said in soft, mild, musical tone of
voice that sounded like a wildwood
brook coursingo'er its pebble bed: "My
gentle unsalted tender,oot from the land
of the rising sun, this here's pint that
you and me disagrees on and we might
aswe]l have 1t settled right now. I have
not looked in grammer lately, but think
them hills is is correct, and Pm going
to stand by that opinion while I've got q
shot left. I'll i've you jest three min
utes to think calmly over the subject, for
you probably spoke in haste the first
time, and then I'll hear your decision"
The young man from the east looked
down the delicately chased barrel of the
revolver into the placid depths of the
eye Of the Tombstoner and began to feel
that many points in grammar are I'M
certain and liable to grow more so.
Then he thought of the coroner's in
quest and of the verdict, "came to his
death by standing in front of Colorado
Toms seven-shooter," and of the long
pine box going east by express with $50
charges on it, and before half the three
minutes was up he was ready to acknow-
ledge his error. "Since he had thought
it over calmly" he said, che believed
that them hills u.s. is right. He bad
spoh IN on the spur of the moment" he
added, "and begged thousand pardons
for his presumptuoas effort to substitute
bad grammar for good"
The Ton1bsfoner forpave him freely,
and, grasping his hand said:
II kno~'d you'd say you was wrong
after you thought moment. I admire
a man who gives I. ght in without argu-
ing when he knows he's wrong. Come
along and irrigate." And they irrigated.
