Jack Birdg, like the old man says of
Cleveland. seems to be an object Of
destiny, but Jacks is Of different turn
from Cleveland. No sooner does he
fairly recover from the severe accident
received last winter by the splitting in
two of his foot than he is again prostrat-
ed by n that seems serious and
il likely to lay him up for a time. While
bedding down the cattle at the Cross A
ranch on Monday night, together with a
number Of the other boys, Jack strad-
died his horse and attempted to run in
some Of the cattle but had not rode far
when his horse stepped with both front
feet into a hole, this threw Jack forward
and the horse on top Of him. At first
he thought his back was broke but rails
ed up and satisfied himself that it was
not. No sooner had he raised than he
sunk back on the ground exhausted.
BY his long absence the other boys
thought strange and went out to look
for him finding him in the above condi-
ton. A messenger was Immediately
sent for DR.. Flick who in company with
+. 0. Burton left Tuesday morning for
the Cross A. On Wednesday they
brought Birdg to town and he is now
lying at the Vienna Hotel receiving the
best Of care that female attention and a

considerably bruised, though no bones
broken, and a deep and painful wound
at the apex Of the hip bone.

Washington Letter in y. Y. Sun
From Illinois comes some interesting news,
and of kind that makes it plail that the
canvass will be Complicated. There are
about 10000 GeI man voters in Illinois
Eighty per cent of these are naturally
Republican. But The high-license and local!
option liquor law passed by the Republican
legislature had caused many of them tc
become disaffected before Blaine's nomina
tion. They have the idea that cannot be
driven from the minds of the Germans
all through the west, that Blaine Is him
self prohibitionist. The result is that every
day the news that comes from the Ger.
man districts of the state gets worse and
worse. In Chicago alone the feeling is SC
strong that Mayor Harrison, who is run.
ming for governor expects to carry every
city by 10000, and he predicts that the state
will give Democratic plurality OF 10000
The Republican managers here, of course.
say that Harrison's claim is absurd, but
they admit that the situation in the state is
one that causes them anxiety One estimate
is chat at least 10000 German Republicans
will not vote for Blaine This was made by
one of the most intelligent German Republi
cans in Chicago. The Prohibitionists as.
uert that their tickets will receive 50,0A
votes in the state. II the estimate Of the
German vote that will be lost to the Repub
licans and the Prohibition strength be cor
rect, it is admitted that Carter Harrison Il
not SO far out of the way after all in his pro
diction.

Kansas in Doubt.

Washington Letter in n. Y. Sun.l
Kansas may cut up some very queer an
tics according to the information received
At the recent Prohibition convention il!
Pittsburgh the Kansas delegates said ths !
Gov. st. John would receive not less than
thirty thousand votes in that state, and that
nine-tenths of them would come from the
old Republican organization. No more zeal
Gus Prohibitionists are in the country than
those of Kansas. Aside from the earnest
ness with which they avow their principles
they have special reason for giving Gov.
st. John all the support possible. They feel
very sore because he was beaten when he
ran for governor on the prohibition issue,
and they hold the Republican party respon-
sible for that defeat.
The Republican managers do not believe
that Gov. st. John can get $4,000 votes in
Kansas, but they admit that if the Prohibi-
ton canvass is correct the state becomes
doubtful. In Kansas too, is found the Gu
rious political Inconsistency which is very
noticeable in some other states, and that is
that the German vote is now hostile to the
Republican ticket, because the conviction
has seized these people that Blaine is Pro-
hibiionjst, and because the Republican
party is responsible for the sumptuary laws
that have been enacted in many states.
Now the Prohibitionists are opposing the
Republican party, because they assert that
it is not for suppression of the liquor traffic.
Between these two the Republicans in Kan
sas run some risks of falling into minority.
There are some p, 900 German voters in that
state. Reports received hero show very Sc
rious disaffection, one careful canvasser esti-
mating that at least $1,000 German Repub
licans will not vote the Republican ticket.
Some Republicans, too, are known to have
repudiated Blaine, because of his record,
though there seems to be less of this in Kan
sas than in some other states. But if the
$1,000 Germans and the $4,000 Brohibition.
lists leave the Republican party, Kansas is
lost to the Republicans.
As to Ohio accounts differ. 1t gave Hoad-
ly 10000 plurality; the entire state admins
tration is in tn hands of the Democrats, the
Democratic organization is said to be excel
lent, the Germans are reported to be almost
rolidly against the Republican ticket, and
the prohibitionists expect to poll $4,000
votes. With such conditions the Democratic
managers Claim that the state that has just
given 10000 Democratic, plurality, and in
which Hayes's plurality was only 7,0OO may
fairly be regarded as very doubtful, even if
Garfield did receive 35 900. The Republican
managers admit that there are some odds
against them, but claim that the Republican
strongholds in the state will roll up ma
jority large enough to overcome the adverse
influences But their information just now
seems to be vague and general.

Raect oc .ufteauss PiatOI Shot.

Washington Letter i'll New York SUM-
1t has been an open secret among Mr.
Blaine's close friends that he has never re-
covered from the shock that Guiteau's pistol
caused him. He was arm-in-arm with Gar
field when the assassin fired; he saw the
president totter and fall, and he believed
that the next shot would be received by him.
self. The effect of that Shot was to give
him what is known in his own state as "the
hypo.n He is convinced that he has an Or
ganic disease and although the best physi-
clans in the country have assured him that
he is wrong, he will not believe them. Last
summer he panied his friends by asking con-
stantly how they thought he looked. Some
body told him that the little pools Of water left
by the ebb tide on the rocks of the coast were
a specific for the disease he thinks he has, and
he was often seen drinking from them and
bathing his face and arms in them. During
the past winter, when he was visited by
prominent politicians who wished to talk
with him regarding his nomination, he sur
prised and saddened them by indifference,
and he told one man he had rather live in
peace and quiet than to be elected president
and die in the Office. For few days before
the convention met he seemed to be like his
old self, and after he was nominated dis
PLAYED to those nearest him some of the
energy that was characteristic of him in the
days of his prime. But that did not last
long. After the Democratic convention the
old conviction that he cannot be elected re-
turned and with it his depression of spirits.
He is now said to be respondent, and those
who are nearest him believe that unless this
hypochondria can be shaken of. all the work
of the canvass must be done without much
hep from him.

Saratoga Letter to Cincinnati Enqulrer.l
Before left Saratoga found reasons
to doubt whether the outward aspects
in favor of Blaine are borne out by the
more quiet and internal currents.
I Meeting prominent brewer of New
York, whose finances are sound and
whose employees are numerous, | drew
him aside and asked him to tell me
about the attitude of the Germans in
New York City. He refused for few
minutes to speak on politics at all.
Finally he said:
1.-THE Germans are going for Cleve-
land.r
"How many of them?"
"Seventy-tive per cent. at least, and
probably ninety per cent"
Are you for Cleveland ?"
"Yes.h
"Why are you for Cleveland ?n
because l want change
"Have you not been prospering under
the present condition of politics ?"
'Yes, but might prosper more the
times have been hard for two or three
years. We are down to bedrock. /
am in favor of getting down to bedrock
still more. believe that the Republi-
can party is corrupt all through, and
that we want more water squeezed out
of these railroad corporations so that a
man can be more certain when he puts
his savings away or deposits his money
in bank that the money will be found
there. What has been taking place in
New York City for the last four months
has made us very uncertain about the
fiscal institutions which handle our
checks and balances"
Said /: Don't you know any Ger
mans who are in favor of Blaine?"
"None."
"Are there no German newspapers
in New York which advocate Blaine ?"
"If there are do not know them"
"Are you so settled in your resolu-
ton to support Cleveland that you are
not liable to change in the next two
months ?'
mo, I have kept quiet. l mean to
keep quiet for while longer; but will
spend my money for Cleveland. In my
judgment he will carry the State of
New York by $4,000 votes"
