The Dog-FenneI Ticket.

Everybody wants to know what Colo
mel Ingersoll meant at Chicago by call
ing Cleveland and Thurman the dog
fennel" candidates. 1t has been sup
posed by some that he really said dog
kennel candidates, meaning merely an
expression Of contempt; but the Press is
happy to state that Colonel Ingersoll did
not say this or mean this, and that he
had no intention of setting bad exam
pie by singing campaign mud. The ex-
preston "dog-fennel" has historic
sense in the sense in which Colonel In
gersoll used it.
During the war Of the rebellion the
Knights of the Golden Circle, copper
head organization that extended over
several States in the Mississippi Valley,
used to drill in back lots, where the ugly
weed known as "dog-fennel" grew, be-
cause they were ashamed to drill in the
public streets or conspicuous part of the
town. James X. Magic, then of the
Canton Qll.) Register. denounced local
company of the Golden Circle Knights
by the epithet of Dog Fennel Rangers,
which some village genius had applied
to them by happy inspiration.
The nickname took from the start. Ii
became the synonym for copperheads in
all that region, and Colonel lngersol,
then resident of the neighboring coun-
ty of Peoria, heard il and sailed ii down
in his vocabulary of gems Of eloquence-
What was more natural than that he
should apply it to the ticket composed
of Cleveland, who stayed at home
during the war, and Thurman. whose
copperhead sympathies were notoriousf

THE MORTON HOUSE AT RT1NEBrcK.

Mr.. Morton, with his family, is tenn
porarily occupying the Huntingdon COT
tage at Rhinebeck. A drive Of nearly
three miles from the depot brings one
to the entrance to the grounds. Through
an avenue of pines and beautifully
trimmed hedges winding path takes
one TO the cottage IL is Gothic struc-
ture painted a sort of drab hue, and is
furnished with wings amply sufficient
to protect Mr.. Morton's brood of pretty
chickens. Broad piazzas all but encircle
1t. From them one secures views of a
magnificent stretch of velvety lawn,
studded here and there with a monster
pine or maple. From the rear a series
Of terraces break the way to a small ra-
vine, whence comes the bahble Of
brook. In response 60 the visitors ring
a quite English butler appeared and
ushered the visitor into his masters Ii
brary. 1t is a beautifully furnished
apartment. The floor is of polished oak,
the feet fairly sink in the soft Turkish
rug that decorates it; an ebony table or
naments the center Of the room; a desk
of the same material occupies place at
the eastern end. Soft cushioned chairs
and lounges tempted the caller to sit Or
recline. The walls and nmntels were al
most concealed with profusion of choice
paintings and engravings. Over in one
corner stood a carved etagere, ON the
top Of which rested bust, whose fea-
lures have a striking resemblance to the
winsome face of Chauncey Mitchell De-
pew.

THE LIBRARY AT RHrNEREcK.

Mrs. Mortons beauty has been de-
scribed too frequently TO require repeti-
ton here. She is rather tall, though her
rounded figure readily disguises the fact.
Her carriage is stately aud her manners
genial. Though perhaps forty-two years
old and the mother of five daughters,
Mrs. Morton appears to be younger. Her
features are blonde, her hair is Just
tinged with gray, and is worn in the pre-
valing fashion. Her eyes are a grayish
blue, and look straight through one.
Mr.. Morton is exceedingly domestic in
his disposition. He is devoted to his
wife and family. Though member of
the Union League and other clubs, he
rarely drops in except in company with
his wife, when he attends dinner or
reception. lie can always be found at
his home in the evening. He gives
abundantly of his millions for charitable
purposes. In 1850 Congress placed the
Constellation at the disposal OF those
who desired TO succor the victims Of the

that no offer had been made to load the

men furnished the remainder.
OF late Mr.. Morton has not been quite
so active in business as in former years.
When in town he reaches his offices in
the Mutual Life Building about 10 a M,
and leaves by 3 p. m. just now he is
avoiding the festive political heller by
remaining in the country. II has been
his custom to spend a portion of each
summer at his cottage, Lair Lawn"

The salt atmosphere aggravated q

He therefore concluded to purchase
property along the Hudson and build n
viTla there. A thousand acres three
miles south Of Rhinobeck, belonging TO
the William Kelley estate, were pur-
chased by him. A regal villa will be oc-
cupied by him and his family in very
few days. A more beautiful spot than

II is TO the credit OF the republican
party that its distinctive symbol IN this
campaign is what teaches patriotism. 1t
has adopted the stars and stripes as an
Offset to the red bandana. II was nat
ural that the republican party seeking a
symbol should turn to the old flag. But
for this party that flag would now be
flying over only half the union; it is the
flag under which hundreds Of republic
cans dice 1t is the flag their children
are taugL % love. The adoption OF the
flag as tn, .,arty ensign is fitting and the
best thing possible.
