Governor Curtin enjoyed large measure
Of Mr.. Tilden's confidence. lie was master
ful In his ways, eager, well-informed, and
ardent, without being reckless. After the
election, when there was discussion about
the composition Of the fatal Commission,
Governor Curtin spent one Sunday at
Grarhercy Park. II was a question just
then Of how far Mr.. Justice Strong might be
trusted to he In the great forthcoming arbi.
tration. II was nervously anxious time
for all concerned, and Goveriiof Curtin
spent hours walking about the streets, and
between intervals Of conversation with
Tilden trying TO resolve with his own mind
and conscieiice the great question whether
Strong could be trusted against all the in
nuences that would be brought TO bear on
him. Whatever Curtin's advice 10 Tilden
was as 10 the outcome Of all that copsulta-
tiop, IL Ia certain that II was nothing, In any

There are but two industries at Narragan-
sett Pier-bathtpg aud flirting. All the
morning people ask every one they meet II
they are going to baths, and all the evening
II they have done II. Every moment In be-
tween is spent in noble devotion to the
other leading industry. There is something
in the air that predisposes 10 II. Girls who
rigidly eschew detrimentals at home, and
never allow themselves to DRIFT into even the
semblance Of love-making, there have half a
dozen affairs OH hand at once, and enter ith
zest into each one. Not long ago young
woman who had been at the Pier for some
weeks, and had been much admired, was
Joined by friend Of her own age and sex.
The first night Of the new oomer's arrival
they sat up late together In the formers bed,
room, feasting upon the remnants of bon
boniere, some crackers and glass Of sherry,
the belle initiating her friend into the gossip
and manners of the Pier. "I'll tell you
what it is" she burst out at last In mo
ment Of supreme confidence, "there's some.
thing perfectly irresistible about this place.
I've kept my lips all right, bnt have given

MISS wooDrORD RETIRED.
She FlWaIIy Breaks Down-Trcmont
ana lnsp cclOr n. Also Amlss.

The reports that have been circulated
from time to time that Miss Woodford had
broken down aro now admitted 10 be true by
Mr.. p. +. Dwyer. Miss Woodford has been a
valuable mare 10 the brothers from racing
standpoint, and there Is no reason why she
should not be just as valuable as brood
mare, for It is fair to suppose that they will
breed her next spring. As a two year-old
Miss Woodford carried the colors Of her
breeders, Bowen Il Clay, aud for them won
Eve races out of eight starts. In the au-
tumn Of 1882 she became the property Of the
Dryers, and for them she ran, In all, forty
races, Of which she won tAirty-twO, was
second six times ami unplacsd twice, her
net earnings under the fred and blue"
being $lO1 $50.
Miss woodford's breakdown ia attended
also with an announcement that fremont will
not run again this year and that Inspector j.
has gone amiss that is, the Inspector ia quite
lame, and may or may not run again as a
three year-old. In this respect the Dryers
are simply having their old luck, their three
year olds invariably going amiss almost im-
mediately after the summer meetings. In
spector b., however, did we'll. He has run
In all this year sixteen races, Of which he
won nine, including the Belmont, ($2, 100, }
the Tidal, COS. $40, Stud, ($2, 225, Lorillard,
(sl3.s9o,) Harvest Handicap, ($l, ,s55 }
Travers, ($3,s25,) Iroquois, (Si,O75.) aud
the United States Hotel Stakes. ($1,775.) }
Tremont's temporary eclipse is to be most
regretted, as many hoped that he would win
at least seventeen races this year, and thus
beat the record made last year by the Eng
lish colt, The Bard. As 1t Is, fremont has
won thirteen without defeat, record never
equaled by any two year-old in this country.
The Dryers have every reason to believe
that he will be great three year old next
year, and as he would have to carry heavy
penalties in all his remaining two year-old
engagements, they wisely decide to take no
further risks of a possible breakdown, aud
so they retire him for the year with $39, 135
winnings to his credit.
With the exception Of Tom Martin, who ,s
also broken down, the Dryers have still a
powerful stable, including Hanover, who Il
an unbeaten two-year-old, with Agnes,
Mile, Louise, and Bessie June for the two
year. old races, Dew Drop and Winfred for
the three. year old races, with Pontiac and
Cotton for the all-aged events, and several
other lesser lights.

township he was we'll and ably sup
ported, and received nearly the solid
vote of his party. Only a few outside
OF Kansas City put on the traitors
garb and defied their party's indigna-
ton. In Kansas City he was not only
betrayed by the Kansas City Times,
but by hundreds OF Democrats who are
only SO when it is money in their pock-
cts or whisky in their Unsuitable maws.
In Lafayette, too, the day was dis

state. 1 shall speak of these hereaf-
ter. The streets of the city are wide
and we'll kept, and generally well
watered at the public expense, but not
while we were there unfortunately,
and with nice wide sidewalks. The
rivers Cayote and Guadalupe, that
form the eastern and western boun-
daries of the original town at some
seasons of the year are filled with
flowing water from the mountains and
the valley, and sometimes they even
overflow their banks, but while we
were there they were nearly entirely
dry. They are each spanned by num-
erous bridges, which make the access
to the town from the country very con
venient. The truth is the suburbs to the
town are SO thickly and nicely built up
that it is hard to tell when you are in
or out OF the town proper. Excepting
the dust which prevailed to a consider
able extent while we were there, San
Jose presents new and inviting ap-
pearance to the stranger, aud without
doubt is most delightful place in
which to live. 1t is near enough to the
bay to have the sea breezes daily, which
begin about O'clck p m, and con-
tinue until the close of the day, and it
matters not how warm it is at noon
day. These delightful breezes reduce
the temperature to a most enjoyable
mildness. While waiting this realize

We have entered upon another

That great brayer of its own morali-
ty, that traitOrOus and perfidious con-
Germ, the Kansas City Times, erawls
high enough out of its slime this NOM
ing to say in speaking of the congress

Kansas City must have become sur

WARNER ELECTED.
[From the Higginsville Advance. I

lFrom the Higginsville Advanced
The congressional campaign of 1886,
in the fifth district, was close, and
in some localities an exciting one. In
this immediate neighbOrhood there was
no strong fight made by either side.
The strongest fight was made in Kan
sas City and Jackson county, and
there lay Warmers main strength, and
more SO OH account of the attitude of
the Kansas City Times OH this ques-
ton. The president of the Times Co,
and managing editor of the Times.
DIR. Morrison Munford, was an aspi-
rant for the nomination in opposition
to Judge Philips, and the Indifference
of the Times Is attributed to Munford's
defeat. A bribe has been hinted at as
playing significant part in the course
of the Times. But be that as it NAV,
the Times has not only injured The
democratic cause in this contest, but
itself and DR.. Munford as we'll. In its
issue of yesterday the Times endeavors
to explain away its lukewarmness on
the ground that the campaign was
managed by Thomas CORR gan IL Co.,
to the detriment of Kansas CITY. 1t is
pleasing to know that DIR. MunfOrd
has any defense at all, but it is too
weak, and he will find that his lack of
interest will rebound to the injury of
himself and the Times.
1t is not necessary here to state all
the causes that led to Philips defeat
1t is enough that the fifth district has
not been redeemed, and that a noble
and an honorable man, capable and
worthy of the honor and trust attend
ing the congressional office, has been
sacrificed to the caprices of sorehead
ed and disappointed editor.
The vote shows that the entire dem
ocratic strength was not brought ont,
many staying at home, and not voting
at all. All through the district repub-
llcan gains are noticeable. johnson
county gives bare majority of 3 for
Philips; Lafayette gives him 7O4, 253
less than Graves majority two years
ago, and Jackson county, outside of
Aaw township, rolls up 1888. In
Kansas City Warner has majority of
!. .3ol or majority of 73S votes in the |
district.
