Mr.. Higgins had gone to bed long befor

Here Is one explanation: Treat. In III,

a railroad attorney, after subscribing TO
these resolutions, they would have con-
eidered q betrayal OF the confidence Of
the people. For the five votes that stood
by him for 80 ballots-Messrs. Dowpham,
Sackett, Short, Wallace and Morgan
Treat has naught but words Of highest
praise, and whatever they want from the
Harrison administration they can get IL
Treat has the say no.
Aro.heF Treat man put IL this way
"When we fouac we could not make
Treat senator, We determined to make
Higgins. Eight beat six at our House or
ganizA,ion, aud we were determined that
this should not occur again"
Still another put it on the ground that
after Senator Moore walked out OF the
CAUCUS be had been trying to leave the
room or secure an Adjournment CON
FINALLY after the tenth ballot-it was
deemed advisable TO nominate man
whom Moore wonld support. Representa-
tive Maull assured them that Moore
would support Higgins and then Higgins
was nominated.
The Massey people have nothing to
say. Thus far they arc too sore at seeing
their splendid canvass defeated after VIC
tory was so nearly within their grasp, to
attempt to give any reasons for their fall
ure. 0ye-.oonadenoe was one OF the
chief CAUSES.

Probably the maddest man In Dover
when the result was announced or before
Il was known, In fact, was Charles d.
Treat. Treat demonstrated bis ability TO
hold ave Of HE followers for over 80
ballots, but the one who left him early In
the balloting and went to Massey-John
A. Lingo of Sursex--is the object Of his
special excavation. 'iHad 1t mot been for
one man." said Mr.. Treat about half an
hour before the nomination was made,
~ would have been In as good position
as the best of them. And that man will
hardly dare to face the people Of Sussex
again."
WHERE HIGGINS GOT THE LEAD.
The eliminating point Of the protracted
cauouH was at the end Of the 40th ballot,
when the Ave Treat votes unexpectedly
joined the two original Higgins men
Hynson of Kont and Maull of Sussex
and ran Higgins vote up to seven. Then
Senator Moore Of Sussex, suddenly With
drew from the caucus and rushed hastily
down the street. Hitherto he had been
steadily voting for Smithers, and 1t was
instantly surmised that he was going to
confer with Mr.. Hmithers IS TO the Anal
disposition Of his vote. But he did not.
He simply went down to the Hotel Rich
ardson and went to bed, only to be
dragged out an hour later and informed
Of the nomination. After his departure
balloting was continued, motion made
by Mr.. Downham after the 39th ballot TO
take Ave more ballots having been
adopted, and on the 4sd ballot the nomi'
nation was made In Mr.. Moore's absence.
HOW THE nArLoTs STOOD.
The best story OF the contest is told by
the various ballots, which stood as fol-

Of the ladies' tournament at that

the first time at a strong gallop and on
the return Jump also did well. Mrs.
Golfers horse SHE'D at the first trial
and on the return took the hurdle in
fine form. Miss Kemler's horse
jumped the hurdle both times at a
strong gallop, and as the horse jumped
the second time the daring rider let go
OF the reins and hit her horse a sting
ing cut with the whip. She was loudly
applauded. Some Of the horses had

jumping hurdles and few refused to
face the jump altogether.
Miss Kemler, OF Winnemucca, was
awarded the second prize in the

A Tale Of Life I'm che state OF Pea-
usylvanta.

The other day a party Of young
men Of Brownsville, over the border
line in Schuylkill county Pennsylvania,
while on a lark, soaked some corn in a
pint Of whisky which they couldn't
drink and scattered it among a flock Of
geese that had wandered from a farm
house q short distance away. The
geese greedily devoured the corn and
then moved off again toward the farm
house. An hour later the woman who
owned them found them in the yard
in a comatose state, and believing
them to have been killed by poison at
the hands Of some enemy, fastened to
remove the feathers from them. After
plucking them bare and deciding that
they could not be used for food under
the circumstance, threw them down
an embankment near by. During the
night the luckless birds slept off their
drunk, and the next morning the
farmers wife was astonished and
chagrined to see them all huddled to-
gether outside the front gate in a nude
and repentant condition. She set to
work and made coats for them out Of
cheap iannel.-N. Y. Sun.
