though he belonged to the opposite
wing, but the chair was Obdu-
rate, and the convention, in an uproar
impossible to describe. Lane appealed
that his amendment was merely as to
the method of choosing the delegates,
and did not include the apportionment,

an instant. The roll was then called.

man n. Smith as tellers. As the call
proceeded, the machine took its grip
and the noes rolled in rapidly. The re-
suit was the defeat of the amendment

hind the curtain, with Willyum Hennery
Eustis as advising counsel, to propose

MUST MAKE A SHOWING.
The County Officers Must Come
Down to 1t.

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday in regular session. The
report Of the Overseer of the poor house
for the month of August was submitted,
<hich showed the number Of inmates to

Norton to furnish coal for the
county during the county win
ter was accepted. His bid was

heating apparatus in the new addition
to the court house for $4,000. Bills
against the county amounting TO $4,000
were ordered paid. A resolution Of
fered by Commissioner Erickson to re-
quest the sheriff, register of deeds and
clerk OF court TO submit to the
board at their next regular meet
ing a sworn statement in detail
Of all costs, fees and perquisites
received by them during the year 1887
was unanimously adopted. According
to chapter s. section 265, of the General
Statutes, these county officers are re-
CURED TO furnish such a statement TO
the board at their first meeting in JAN
nary OF each year, but they have failed
TO do so for a number of years past,
probably from a desire to keep the pub
lie in ignorance as to how much their
Offices were paving.

POLITICAL QUIPS.

A man stood near the water tank at
Harmonic hall and earnestly talked to a
brother near him. Said he: "There is
no doubt that Ames win be the Demo-
cratic nominee for mayor and we must
put up our best man 10 beat him. l tell
you, Blethen is the man. Do you know,
Blethen is pure as virgin" Tears
rolled down from the water cooler as he
spoke.
Col. Robert StrattOn can experience
wonderfully sudden changes of heart.
Just one week ago, in a burst of high
moral frenzy, he raised his Sunday
school voice against any plan by which

ieTnal love gurgled and guggled all
through the convention.
Pm. Dahl was elected a delegate on
the Scheffer ticket. Just before the
eaucuses Dahl made this remark:

HE TELLS HIS LOVE.

Hes not afraid to tell his love;
He's hot afraid 10 speak
An tender tones, Though they may bring
blush to either cheek:
A happy glow it is that lends
Its light to eyes above,
That wear a lcok OF youth and age
Because he tells his love.
He does not leave il to be guessed,
AS many others do,
That he's afectionate and kind,
And tender hearted, too:
But in a thousand generous ways
Is his devotion shown
To those whose lot is cast with his
To those he calls his own.
The children hail him with delight,
And round ABOUT him swarm.
And closely TO his manly breast
He clasps each tiny form.
Gay laughter freely bubbles up.
And hearts and homes are blest
And life is brighter far because
True love is thus expressed.
Hes not afraid 10 have it known
His happiness depends
Or those within a certain sphere,
On those he calls his friends;
And though With dignified reserve
The curious he repels,
BY many gracious word and deed
His love he freely tells.

| Facetious Consideration of Base. Raj
and Its Opponents.
Baseball is all the rage now ant
arnica is IN demand. There are evi
dences of it on every hand. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than thousand
men will make a regular business OF
playing baseball this summer
1t is said to be a nice healthy sport.
A poet thus describes some of the
signs of health:
! His eyes were black; his face was red,
He hadn't any teeth at all;
When asked what made him look SO sad
He said i've been a-playin' ball.
The baseball player has no excuse
for being wicked. His occupation
should teach him to lead the batter
life.
A Chicago baseball player has been
sold for $4,000. and the New York
HorlA cynicAlly asks: Nov. what
would the president of the Chicago
Browning Club bring if auctioned off
to the highest bidder?''
Even the colored brother, who imi-
tates all the vices of the white man,
has baseball club. The colored UNI
pire has one marked advantage over
the white umpire. He can't get a
black eye.
Speaking of umpires, it is stated on
reliable authority that baseball UNI
pire was struck by lightning in the
West. Being used to such things. he
merely smiled and remarked "out on
first"
Baseball is very ancient game.
The Emperor Domitian occupied his
leisure moments in catching flies. The
muses. also belong to nine. Noah was
a base-ballist. He was the first pitcher.
He pitched the ark within and with
out The game was called on account
of the rain.
However, it pays to be an expert
base-baller. The Yonkers Statesman
remarks cynically: when a baseball
player gets $5. 900 season. and an
opera singer can only command s., 500.
it does not take long to conclude tina:
pitching the ball pays better than
pitching the voice"
No man can fully realize what a
miserable game baseball is until he
has been a volunteer umpire. and has
had his head split open for deciding
right when the hoodlum side of the
game happened to be wrong.-Aoc1-
