glory in this day OF grace, although the
hat was nearly new. But somehow it
looked little hike Grape which, even in
it's finest gloss, is not exhilaraiiIg G. Mr..
Kelly is not hard to please. He said:
"After Blaine, who? Why, Gresham
or Alger, or Hawley. ! would prefer
Hawley. He is tho ablest man."
The reporter yentured TO ask why he
wanted the larty to break the record
and nominate an able man.

Mr.. K.-"Is not Blaine great man"'
Reporter-"Whath has Mr.. Blaine ever
done?"
Mr.. K.-"What has he not done"

JUDGE BRUNsoN.
Just as Mr.. Kelley beat retreat from
the defense OF the Plumed Knight, Judge
A. Brunson came on the scene. In answer
to the conundrum, the attorney Of the
Santa Fe system said:
