DIsGRuNrLED MAHoNEITEs. The money
given TO Mr. Lewis Mckenzie by General
Malone to deliver" the vote of this city at
the approaching election bids fair to become
the rock on which the Generals party here
will split, as each day the dissensons III
their ranks grow wider. Those among
them who have been working for and bear
Ing the burdens of the party for years are
sore at being ignored by the Generals &C
ton and his letter saying that, "in conse-
Quence of Mr.. Mckenzie having made ar
engagements to deliver the vote of the
city, he had been given the money"
has had the effect of bringing down invec-
tives upon his head, and many of them say
they will show him that they can not
be sold and delivered like SO many sheep.
They say, also, that Mr.. Mckenzie has
no standing in the party; that at public
meetings he has been repeatedly repudiated;
that he was bounced" from the position of
Vice President of the city Blaine and Logan
clubs last year; that less than six months
ago he could not even be elected a delegate
to the Richmond convention, and to have
him put over them in this manner is more
than they are willing to stand. The Execu-
tive Committee of the party of this city met
last night, it is said, for the purpose of re-.
signing and announcing their intention of
taking no part in the approaching election,
hut AFTER some debate they adjourned with.
OH; action until Monday night, when, it is
given cut, they will call meetings in the
different wards to express their indignation
ut the treatment they have received.

The feature of to-day's parade, was the case
In 1881, was the fine representation of the Penn
sylvania militia If Pennsylvania did little TO
elect Cleveland, 1t did much to inaugurate him.
The soldierly bearing of the imposing body of
troops reflected the greatest credit on the Key
stone state. The other stones of the Union arch
might well follow the lead of Pennsylvania in
their militia policy. few other states do

Of efficiency, but as a rule too much indifference

But one Thought occupies the American peo-
pie to-day, and beneath all party feeling bui
one wish animates them,-a wish that the new
administration may be successful by truly re-
necting the guiding impulses Of the nation. y
heated controversies divide the country, and
the real perplexitie, of the time are those which
should unite good men of ali beliefs rather than
separate them further. Ii is not unlikely thai
out of the present dearth of living issues and in
difference to historic party lines may spring
new organizations more expressive OF public
opinion bearing on questions of the day. In
that case readju>tme ut of party lines is newt
able. During the campaign some held thai
whichever party Won would be destroyed as the
price of success. such tragic compensation may
not await the victor, but the democrats Will
ind IL more difficult to propose than to frus-
trate legislation. Where the main thing is t.
cr1ticise an opponents policy, differences as to
the precise nature degree of the legislation
that Is to be blocked are of slight account, but
when 1t becomes necessary TO propose some
definite substitute these divergent views at
once assume Importance How easy it would
be for the democrats to start out with a quarrel

The Forty-eighth Congress expired at noon
to-day. Nominally it was two years old, but its
conscious and wake1ul days amounted in all to
only pa. An unprecedented volume of BUSH
ness was presented 10 IL for attention, but only
small proportion was acted upon. Among the
few important bills that escaped the common
fate were those establishing bureaus of labor,
navigation and animal industry; to- repeal the
test oath OF 1867; to reduce the rate of postage:
to remove certain burdens ON navigation; to
provide civil government for Alaska; to ex-
tend the court of Alabama claims; to declare
forfeited the Texas Pacific land grant, and to
provide for the ascertalnment of the French
spoliatton claims. Among the failures OF note
were the Morrison horizontal tariff, the various
banking bills the Blair educational bill, the
electoral count, the bankruptcy dill, and the
silver susi ension bill, together with others too
numerous to mention.
Ouce at a wake the friends of the deceased
were sitting around the remains trying to think
OF some hing kind and yet true to say OF the
dead. Unfortunately his character had made
this a task OF some difficulty, and there was
silence among the mOurneTs, until one old
woman OF tact rose and exclaimed, with sigh,

BUFFALO, Sept 6.-The interest in the
State pigeon shoot eliminated in yesterdays
events. The shooting was for the. Pierce dia-
mond badge, worth $3.50, for the best score al
fifteen live birds, twenty-one yards distance,
the winner to hold the badge and take all the
entrance money for that match and the Dean
Richmond trophy, worth Sl,is0. TO be held by
the winning club, in trust. The victories Of
Fl. B. Whitney, a l6-year-old marksmau
from Phelps, \. Y, on the previous day had
already caused him TO be known as 'ihc boy
wonder" In every contest in which he Gu
gagged he had come of winner.
When the Shooting for the Pierce badge be-
gan, therefore his work was watched with
much interest. There were thirty-fve con-
testants, including several veteran marksmen
Of long established reputation. But three Of
the thirty-fve killed all the fifteen birds.
They were young Whitney, c. Wagner Of
Rochester, G. G. Luther Of Syracuse. These
three proceeded to shoot OF the tie at twenty
four yards distance. Each man shot at FIVE
birds, Whitney and Luther killed them all,
Wagner missing one. Whitney and Luther
then shot at five birds each, at thirty-one
yards distance. Young Whitney brought
down all his birds, but Luther missed one
This gave the best prize of the entire contest,
as well as the money Of the lesser ones, TO the
''boy wonder" His nerve is considered very
remarkable. To a reporter young Whitney
said: Il was sixteen the llth day of last June
am going to school in Geneva on Monday
next" He was born and raised at Pbelps,and
had done most of his shooting during vaca-
tion. He could not tell how many matches he
had been in or how many prizes he had won. but
he had been shooting since 1882. In that
year he had the best average i'll the Syracuse
tourney. he also made the best average in
the Bradford tournament this year. He said
he used to use Remington gun, but had dis
carded il for a Lefevre hammerless gun.
Gust wait until next year and I'll show EN-, y

cant smile-ErcIdn0e
