There Is some talk of fusion legisla- tive ticket in Pima county, but there is no probability that anything of that na- ture will be accomplished. Pima is the banner republican county of the terri tory and as at least four-fifths of her legislative ticket will be republicans, the members of that body are but little likely to acquiesce in an equaldivisIon of what they have heretofore practically controlled. Instead of fuslng with the democrats it behooves the republicans of the county at their convention, to put in nomination such men as will commend the admiration and re- spect of the people This being done, the only fusion necessary will be at the ballot box where they will receive an over whemlng majority to the discontinue of all competitors for legislative honors. Put up the right kind of material and then fuse the voters of the county in their behalf and here need then be no fear that the interests of Pima county will not be carefully and conscientiously attended to.-Citzen.

that some one the other day compared the red bandana to an auctioneer's flag. It represents something worse than that, and it is peculiarly appropriate em- blem for the British free trade party in this campaign. A red flag is recognized by all railroad men, business men. and the travelling public as danger signal an imperative notice to step danger ahead In advocating now somewhat frankly their well-known. but hitherto sugar-coated free trade principles, the democrats have unwi,tingly adopted as their campaign flag the red bandana-a danger signal-,hus giving all working men and business men who are not color blind notice of great danger ahead"

Pat and the Deacon.

Some months ago, as Deacon ingalls,,
of Swampscott, Mass, was travelling
in the western part of the State of
New York, he fell in with an Irishman
who had lately arrived in this country,
and was in search of a brother who
had preceded him and settled in some
of the diggins in that part Of the
try. og
Pat was a strong man, a true Roman
Catholic and had never seen the in
terror of a Protestant church. ingalls,
was a pious man. He told Pat he was
going to church and invited his new
made friend to accompany him thither,
his destination being a small meeting
house near by.
There was a great revival there at
the time, and one Of the deacons, who
was a very small man in stature, in
vited Brother Ingalls, to a seat in his
pew. He accepted the invitation fol-
lowed by Pat, who looked in vain for
the altar, etc. After he was seated he
turned around to Brother Ingalls,, and
in 4 whisper that could be heard all
around, he inquired:
"Shure, an isn't this a hereto
church9" SIS .Afzt
"Hush," said ingalls,, "if you speak
a word they will put You out"
"Divil a word will l spake at all, at
ALL" replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the pastor.
Pat was cycling him very closely,
when an old gentleman, who was
standing in a pew directly in front o.
Pat, shouted, "Amenmm
"Hist, ye divilw rejoined Pat, in hi
loud whisper, which was heard by thu
minister, "be dacent, an don't make ;
blosckhead of yourself
The parson grew more fervent in hi
devotions. Presently the deacon ut
tered an audible groan: "Amen"
"Hist, ye BLACKBOARD! Have ye NJ
dacency at oil :" said Pat, at the SAM
time giving him a punch in the ribs
which caused him to lose his equi
ibrium. $50
The minister stopped and extended
his hands in a suppliant manner, say
ing Brethren, we cannot be disturb
ed in this way. VIII some one pu
that man out ~ - ~
"Yis, your reverence shouted Pat
IT will do it." And suiting the actio
to the word, lie collared the deacon
anl,6to the utter horror of the pastor
dragged him up the aisle, and with
tremeud0us kick sent hinf into the YES
, thule of the church.-Er.
