ABILENE REFLECTOR
THE DRUMMER.


A drummer stood on the corner,
q His work in that city was done:
He'd two hours left to wait for trair,
And was quietly looking for fun.
A maiden came out of store,
With packages larger than small;
The drummer braced up to the daisy
And offered TO carry them all.
The daisy objects to such action
On the part of the drummer so bold,
Who begs some thousands of pardons,
But thought he had known her of old.
The daisy's papa in the distance
Is seen coming swift along;
Ta-ta, my elegant drummer,
/ will change your beautiful song.
Bif. bang, and the gay festive drummer
Thinks he's shot with gating gun;
But twas only the foot of ner papa,
~ Starting him toward the sun.
He returns quite early and sudden,
And, striking the walk with crash,
Thinks of his mother and Heaven,
And thinks of his failure to mash.
Gone from his sight is the daisy,
Gone from his rear is her dad;
But all of the people who saw him
Will always think drummers are bad.

Arthur and the Louisiana Deleg alton.

President Arthur secures the vote
of Lou Siana in the jun convention"
says guilcless innocent of the Repub-
hcan rerSuaS on, because his policy
has been so honest. wise and moderate
as TO conciliate the discordant elements
which distracted the country during the
early part Of his term
This is indeed touching. The thought
of the Louisiana Republicans rallying
Spontaneously 10 testify to the adm ra-
ton for Arthur and his honest, wise
and moderate policy is calculated to
Str the deepest emotions Of the trusting
part san heart and irradiate the politl-
cal horizon with a golden CLEAN of hope
and trust in com nc millennium.
Tn ortunately. however, there is no
excuse for indulgence in so enhancing
a vision. President Arthur's attain
ment of the Louisiana vote bears no
such golden-tinted. rainbow-hued sig
nificance. 1t is due wholly and SO ely
to the machine" and is really about
rs d.Sreputable piece of business as
the President has ever permitted his
name to be mixed up with.
At the head of the list of delegates is
dictmeut for alleged completely in the
Star-route frauds, and whose immunity
from prosecution is widely attributed to
the unwillingness of Arthur's Admins
tration to 90 to the bottom of those
frauds. His three associates as dele
gates-at-l arg. are Federal office-hold-
ers, indebted to Arthur for their posi-
tons as Collector. Surveyor and Naval
Officer of the port of New Orleans.
And of the other delegates, twelve in
number, it is currently stated that all
but two are also Federal oflice-holderS.
A delegation so constituted does not
mean intelligent unsought approval of
President Arthur or OF his policy 1t
means a convention manipulated in his
interests and carried " the same dis
reputable means to which the "ma-,
chine" has always resorted in sucn
cases.
1t means something more. 1t means
fragrant disregard in President
Arthur's interest, by men officially re-
sponsible to him as the Executive head
of the Government, of the Executive
order which forbids Federal officers TO
take part in the management of political
organization or caucuses. That order
was undoubtedly violated in the organi-
zation of the Louisiana convention. 1t
viii be violated again if the Federal
officials chosen by that convention sit
rs delegates at Chicago. 1t is Presi-
dent Arthur's duty to punish the dis
obedience already shown. 1t is his
duty to prevent any further disobedi-
ence. But there is not the slightest
reason to believe he viii do either.-De-

Camel rearing is not as important
an industry in Russia nowadays as it
was in years gone by, the goat ranches
having superseded it. There are only
about 100000 camels there now, while
there are over 100000 goats The
latter is now the principal occupation
in mountainous portions of the eau
casus, and it brought in over 100000

Democrats Enthusiastic at Cincinnati.
ISDecial TELEGRAM IN the Globe


CINCINNATI, o., Oct 1S.-If any despon-
dent Democrats were to be found last We'd
nesday they have evidently taken different
view OF affairs since then, for to-day there is
nc city in the country that contains so MANY
enthusiastic Democrats as does Cincinnati.
This feeling Of confidence has been gained
entirely from Tuesdays experience, which
taught the Democrats of Ohio that on
a fair election this state is not
Republican. the acts of violence and
intimidation practiced by Lot Wright's Ken
lucky negro deputy marthals has done more
to soidify the Democratic ranks in this
county than anything that could have been
planned. Preparations have already begun
in earnest to marshal the Democratic hosts.
and an attack will be made on the 4th of No
vember that will shatter the false Republican
majority into splinters. The Democrats
confidently claim their ability to reverse the
fig ires, and will endeavor to roll up a ma
jority Of 5000 in this county for
Cleveland. In this they viii have a united
party, assisted 10y scores of Independent
Republicans, and by hundreds of non-parti-
san men who looked with alarm at the high
handed proceedings Of the drunken deputy
marshals.
In conversation with large number of
Democrats of all shades of party feeling it
was learned that never before has the party
been more determined TO rebuke fraud by
carrying Hamilton county in November. II
is argued that the party not only owes It
TO its individual members, but should also
protect its Independent brethren by making
it so hot in this state as to render It impossi-
bic for the Republicans to seud their repeat
ers to the Hoosier state without endaneerine
success in Ohio. The result last TUESDAY
has greatly encouraged the local Democracy
to renewed exertions. In the last twenty
years Ohio has never but once given so small
Republican majority in the Oc-
tober elections, and hasA at the
same contests returned out about
one-third Of the Democratic congressional

Especial TELEGRAM TO the Globe. |
Yenber.''

lCpeCldl lCieSIan W tue GlOU6.l
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1S.-The presi-
dental election is not absorbing all the at
tention of the politicians in the city. The
complexion of the next house of representa-
tives has been carefully canvassed. At pres
ent the Democrats have over seventy ma
jority, so.that it will require Republican
gain of at least thirty-six members to over
turn the Democratic majority. If there was
a Republican tidal wave this might be effec-
ted, but no such popular movement is indi-
Gated by an election in
state always surely Republican in pres
idential years, where, after spending
nearly million of dollars and employing
an armed force of murderers and cut throats,
this party, so far from gaining, sustans
loss of s, 900 votes on the election of fouI
years ago. Four states have voted so far for
congressman, Oregon electing one Republic
can, Vermont three Republicans, and Chic
electing ten Republicans and eleven Demo-
Gratis. In Ohio the seats of Butterworth,
Brown and Romeis will probably be con-
tested, but assuming them to have been
legally elected, we have in these four states
a Republican gain of three. Estimating
the other states upon the most liberal pos
sible basis for the Republicans and conced-
ing to them the gains claimed by them,
which many Democrats utterly repudlate, we
have the following changes in the congress
sional delegates as they now stand:

nominees. This year the state sends ma
jority of Democrats to congress, and, ac-
cording to all, that majority, instead of being
slender as it is, was only prevented from be-
ing overwhelming by the grossest frauds
and corruption. Next month the Republicans
will be without the aid of deputy marshals,
corruption agents, govern ment repeaters and
drunken negro bulldozers. On the
contrary the Democratic city authori-
ties will be the sole guardians
of the ballot box, and thus insure an hon
est election. The latter is all that is asked,
and with it Hamilton county will go Demo-
cratic by good majority. The Democratic
cause will not be allowed to sleep, but, on
the contrary, pushed with untiring vigor
1t is thought that all that is necessary to Sc
cure triumph in Novem Der is to maintain
the party strength and prevent Republican
frauds.
