PAT WINSTON
Running for Congress a Democratic
Candidate.

for Congress as Democratic
Candidate.
The following from the Statesvills Land
mark, will be read with interest by the nu-
merous friends of Pat Winston, throughout
the State:
They do say that Pat Winston-whose
counterpart has never vet been born-who
went to Idaho less than two years ago as
Federal Office holder, is now running for
Congress in that Territory and running as
Democrat at that. Pat literally joked him
self into the Idaho Office. He nearly killed
President Arthur whenever he went to beg
him for place, and Arthur said he was the
funniest man he ever saw. For the matter
of that he is the funniest man that anybody
ever saw. He made \ canvass of the State
two yeas ago as Republican, and was him
self az much amused at the idea as any one.
One of his speeches was at Statesville and is
we'll remembered for its incompatible drol-
lery. He had shortly before that time pro-
mulgated through the. press an address to
the public, taking leave of the Democratic
party--a sort of Washingtsn's Farewell
and now it is rsld here that his competitor
in the congressional race in Idaho has writ
ten to WinstdA, where Pat resided at the
time, for . copy of the address, and that
neither Republican nor Democrat will send
it to him, old Pat being so popular there that
they all want him to.be elected If he should
happen to get to Congress wouldn't he make
things hum?

One generally waits to begin these hunts
TIL the season Is sufficiently advanced to rem
der the animals Infatuated by hunger and
ready for anything. We used to start at 10
or II o'clock In the night, choosing moonlit
evening. Four Of our swiftest horses were
put to the sleigh whose management was con-
ided to prudent and steady old coachman
who had been In my husbands service for
ten years All depends on the driver in these
expeditions, for if he loses his head, and al
lows the frightened horses to run away dur
ing the chase, one stands a very good chance
of being thrown off the low sleigh and de-
voured by the hungry animals one seeks to
kill A bundle of straw is tied behind the
sleigh and allowed to drag in the snow, and
you take with you young pig tied in a
strong canvas bag. You have occasionally
to pinch the poor brute SO that his squeaking
may attract the attention of the wolves and
make them pursue you in the hope of q
hearty supper.
When once arrived on the white, smooth
plain, the horses are started off at gallon
and you soon see whole squadrons of wolves
making for you at full speed Their fiery
eyes glare in the mi-dsrkness like burning
Goals, and their low growing bay IS enough
to unsettle the courage of all novlces. A:
soon as they are near enough you shoot then

GREENSBORO BUDGET
THE CREAM OF THE WEEKS NEWS
FROM THE CITY OF FLOWERS.

The acknowledgements Partisa"s
Voting Mixed Tickets-Col. Morehead
defeated fer tho Legislature.
Special Correspondent Of the Sentinel.
GREENSBORO, Nov 3.-The election yes
terday was unusually quiet considering there ]
were three full tickets in the field and all
working hard. There was good deal of
challenging done but every thing passed of
psacably. The negro vote was verse split
than it ever was. A good many voted
Republican. There was more splitting and
scratching generally than there ever was
known. Men who have heretofore been the
most incorporating partizans in the
county, voted mixed tickets. Very few
"straits" were polled. This is a good thing
and shows that men are doing their own
thinking and not allowing themselves to be
driven by the party lash. 1t is especially
q matter for congratulation with regard to
the negroes. They have always allowed the
RAIDS to lead them by the nose. One man
who used TO be the staunchest Republican
deal toward Prohibition, voted the Demo-
| cratic Judicial ticket yesterday, and . good
| deal of the County ticket. This is good
sign.
! 1t is reported here this morning that the
Democratic Legislative ticket is defeated
but that the County Officers will be elected
by a very small majority. Col. Morehead
told me about 10 o'clock that the Republican
Legislative ticket would be elected beyond g
doubt and that the remainder of the ticket
was still uncertain. The Colonel says the
Third Party is what has done it-that ht
believes the better class of those who votee
it were honest in intention but that in trying
to secure Prohibition, they have elected
free whiskey." He thinks that if the cleo
ton had been week ago the Republican
majority would have been 500 NOR
than it is, but if it had been PUT off
week longer Democratic victory would hav
been assured. Prohibition Democrats ar
just beginning to open their eyes and if the
had had little more time the most of tn en-
would have been back in ranks.
RADICAL TRICK.
Mr.. J. n. Nelson the Democratic nom
nee for Clerk will likely be defeated by a
ingenious and no less dishonorable trick tina
the Republicans at High Point resorted t
to elect their man, Alb Holton. They ha
a lot of Democratic tickets printed whicl
were exact counterpart of the genuine tick
cts, but in which the name of Holton wa
substituted for Nelson. These tickets wei
voted by great many unsllspecting Demo
, Gratis. The vote being very close in tt
county it is likely that this stratagem will
sufficient to befeat NELSON. Nothing cou
be more characteristic of the two partie
tbs thus the Republicans have ever rssortt
