were the members of party
who made good the absence of show
at the Peoples, last night within the
awe-Stricken precinct of the windsor
hotel. The occasion for this unusual
feStivity and loyefeaSt- was due to the
presidential election. The twelve gen
tlemen named, each Staunch and able
advocate of his party, sit at the same
table in the hotel and in the course OF
the recent political agitations they
made the following wager: Ii Harrison
and Morton should be elected, the six
Republicans would tender the Demo-
Gratis banquet; and if Cleveland should
keep his seat, the Democrats would
stand the
RACKET FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
Last night matters were brought to a
pleasant pitch OF good cheer. Toasts were
offered and responded to at the rate of
six every fifteen minutes, those who
were standing when time was called
would be promptly choked off with
Mumm'S Extra Dry and POmmery See.
Upon the expiration OF the term of SER
vice of two cases of the finest, the COM
pany repaired to the billiard room to in
dulge in game of muin-pOol. The
rules were that if-anyone rested his cue
OH the floor, or touched the chalk, said a
word, Unlisted or did anything else that
might prompt an attack for breach of
agreement, he would have to pay for the
Indulgence or the crowd. The frequent
installment of this indulgence was a
principle feature of the evening.
Frank Tattna1l pasted a piece ofpaper
Oh tie end of his cue, and thus saved
seemed rather tired, rested his cue on a
cigar stub, and c. N. Bell picked out a
full siZed>cud and planted his cue on it.
Matches were used to place the cues on,
and anything within sight TO get around
the laws OF the game. The science of
the deaf and dumb was mutilated in
great shape by those who had some
thing TO say, yet could not give vent
lest they should be taxed fora sound.
G. J. Monfort added materially to
the show, wearing his flag between
his collar and skin; willie Dr. Werrick
proudly stood beneath an Old be-rimmed
SLOUGH hat. John III. Lynch kept up an
animated discussion with the coat rack,
and HenIy Shade played a selection
| from West st. Paul Fight OH sill
yer tray. W. III. McDonough performed
some wonderful shots on the table,
planting the white Uali every time.
And Mr. Cady wanted the table cush-
ions painted red instead of green.
George Hardacre saw that 10 one got
away. Maj. Loader assured himself that
he was enjoying it immensely.
The only person who did iiet take an
active part in the performance was a
GLOBE reporter, who kept a lot of dogs
from climbing in the windows to see
what was up. 1t was a grand time, and
one of when Harrison and Morton may
well feel proud.
