Colonel Robert g. Ingersoll bitter In his anti Blaine
ak. do IS reported as saying :" IL was at any tlme
impossible that this convention could have committed
he mistake of nominating Blaine. Blaine would be
political criminal TO accept the nomination that

chance TO futter their wings. The sunshine Of
cas0n alone would prevent Blane's nomination. II

"John, what are you doing with Gresham badge
IN your coat 7" asked old Indiana man of another
yesterday. Il thought you were for HARRISON
so ann replied the other, as he gazed ia aston
shment at the badge of Gresham on his coat. Il
on't understand this, and can't understand why you
re wearing a. Harrison badge when you are strong
ireSham man.
The other looked at his coat, and, sure enough he
vas paradlng the handsome badge OF the Harrison ad
leronts. The two looked at each other for
moment, and then smile broke over the face OF ono

Oud laugh You've got my coat on and I've got
ours. thought mine was a little tight across tho
hohlders"
The mystery was easily explained: the honest old
loosiers occupied the room, and on dressing IN
he morning an exchange Of coats was accidentally
lade which, for few hours, transformed an ardent
into a warm Greshamlte, and vice versa
"Do you know what the defeat OF Malone
