INsULrED BK REPUBLIC
An Afrront Onered the Swiss at Recent
Meeting.

s
Joe Mobile is native Of Switzerland,
and, while he has been resident Of this
country for twenty years, and is faithful in
his allegiance to it, yet. like all Switzers,
he is proud Of his native land and it's rec
ord as the oldest republic in the world.
There is q little republic in the heart Of the
Apprentices that antedates it, but it is SO
small as to be insignificant when speaking
Of republics. Most Swiss are proud Of
their coantry's history, and think their
native land deserves precedence over all
other European countries in American es-
timation for it's record as land Of free
dom. It has preserved It's Independence
inviolate amid all the turmoil Of European
Governments, and for this alone should be
treated with courtesy by American speak
ers.
Mr.. Mobile was present with many
other Swiss at the meeting OF the Italo-.
Swiss Republican club at Republican head
quar- rters one evening recently, and the
meeting was addressed by several OF the
local Republican lights in English. The
gentlemen dwelt long and earnestly upon
the grand achievements OF the italian
people in terms highly complimentary OF
bn6G MONARCHY, Wnlcn ID only OF cOmp0fa-
lively recent date as q united Italy. and
after the most that can be said of it is still
q monarchy and in league with the strong
est despotisms Of Europe. The Swiss
among the audience had no objections to
the praises these American republicans
lavished ON Italy and waited patiently to
hear some allusion to their own country,
which deserved the most consideration
from the gentlemen speaking.
But what was their disappointment to
see them retire one after another without
having so much as alluded to Switzerland.
It looked to them like premeditated
insult, and Joe Mobile, when talking OF the
circumstance. said he only expressed his
own and the sentiments OF his other CON-
patriots when he pronounced it deliberate
affront to them individually and collect
lively. 1t was something they could not
comprehend that American citizens Of q
republic should single out monarchy,
and that one of the most modern OF Eu-
rope, to lavish complimentary praises
upon it and utterly ignore the oldest
republic in Europe, which, they naturally
supposed, deserved first consideration from
them. Mr.. Mobile and his compatriots will
not forget this affront OF their native land
when the time comes to make their dis
pleasure felt.

REPUBLICANS QUAWKs.
THE INTER MOUNTAIN BRAG
CALLED DOWN.

n'xamples Showing the Lack Of Conf
dence Of the Republicans I'm Their
Cause.-The Jack Dowd Boast Ex-
ploded-How an Inter Mountain Man
Took water-Democrats Show tho
Faith That IL In Them.
Inter Mountain, slst: Jack Dowd, the we'll
known sporting man, offered this morning to
bet 81, 800 to $500 on the election Of Harrison
and Morton. A Democrat who hes been LOOKING
for bet OF this kind was challenged to take
Mr. Dowd mp, but instead he took water.
This must be one OF the cheap election
lies Of the Inter Mountain, or else Jack
Dowd squawked. For Mr.. Barney McDey.
tit, who, though not q sporting man, is one
Of the gamest birds in the pit when it
comes to backing up his faith with his
money, went straight down to Mr.. Dowd's
place OF business, when he read the above,
and putting down $500, told Mr.. Dowd he
was there to take him up on that propo-
sition. Mr.. Dowd refused to come to time,
saying he was not betting on any such
proposition.
This is sample Of the Republican talk
round here. II the Inter Mountain wanted
to give q sample OF their faith in the Repub-
lican ticket, why didn't it mention the
backdown OF q member OF it's staff few
days ago? The individual referred to went
to prominent merchant and offered to
bet him Thousand dollars that Mr.. Clark
wouldn't carry this county. The merchant
took him up before the words were out OF
his mouth and $50 q side was deposited by
oaNh Nth a o1 30.
the understanding that it was to be
forfeited if either party did not put up the
remaining $3.50 before noon next
day. The merchant visited the real
estate Office several times before the
time appointed and about half an hour be-
fore noon was told that the Inter Noun
tain man had check for $3.50 but had
gone to cash it as he didn't want the name
on the check to be seen. just before noon
he went again to the real estate Office but
no one was there except clerk. Handing
him a check for 81 900 he notified him that
he would claim the forfeit il the $3.50 was
not deposited ON time and when l2 o'clock
came the Inter Mountain man had squawk-
ed and the merchant got his forfeit.
And why didn't the Inter Mountain
make any mention Of o bet OF $4,000 to
81, 900 which member Of prominent
mercantile firm made with one OF the can
didates on the Republican ticket for the
Legislature that Mr.. Clark will carry the
Territory? Three to one in thousands
shows the confidence of the wellknown
Democrat in the head OF the ticket, but the
Inter Mountain doesn't want to let it be
known that the Republicans have 80 little
confidence in their cause.
From a gentleman who is agent Of San |
Francisco powder company, q Republican
himself, it was yesterday learned that the |
betting there and all over the Pacific coast
ia even on the result OF the election in Cali
lornia. In Portland there are slight odds
In favor OF Oregon going Republican, but |
elsewhere the powerful effect OF President
signing the Chinese exclusion
bill has upset all Republican calculations
and makes that State extremely doubtful
with strong chances Of it's going for Cleve- |
and.

MELoDRAMA NEXT WEEK.

Succeeding the Juveniles come Robert L.
Scott, Harry Mills and Miss Jessie Bon
stelle supported by a good company in
''Chip o. the Old Block" which has been
we'll received everywhere on the road. The
New York Sun said of it that the author
has retaine the accepted forms OF melo-
drama while departing from the conven-
tionality OF burlesque, and between the two
the night passed quickly and enjoyably.
'The Chip was an old salt who had seen
service, spiked guns, spilled buckets OF
blood, and then talked about it all the
rest OF his days. He figured as the pro-
tector of the melodranatic lost child, who
had to dance and sing constantly, in order
to keep her spirits under the indefatigable
pursuit of the geuteet villain; in the end
she triumphed, becarse she was pert,
pretty, plucky and on the correct side OF
the law.
"Briskness marked all the coluedy, and
appropriateness was a feature OF the musi-
cal trimmings. Mr.. Robert l.. Scott, q
droll and original comedian, who talks and
winks like Lester Wallack, was the Chip,
and Mr.. Harry Mills was equally acceptable
as the horsey young man who loved the
heroine, and welded her with the Chips
blessing. The performance was smooth
and spirited. Nothing better in it's line mas
been seen this season."
