viii br remembered that when Mr.
Cleveland was nominated in 1854 al
admlrins friend down south sent hin

animals killed in "A graveyard AT night
with instructions that he should keel

year he was occupied with the tariff to
such an absorbing degree that liz for
got all about the rabbit foot. and some
oi the believers in this emblem OF good
luck think that he never should have
put it aside.
Congressman Doiisherty of Florida
~ an earnest believer in the rabbit
foot. He says that when he was first
nominated there was great opposition
to him. One day during his campaign
he was training n lot OF young hounds
and they scared up "A rabbit, which ran
into buryingground and disappeared
under tombstone. When he went
home he mentioned the circumst ance,
and his friends decided that he must
have that rabbit. some of them were
so superstitious that they vowed they
would not vote for him unless that
rabbit was caught. The moon was
shining brightly. and a party went ont
one night and caught the rabbit. One
of the feet was cut OFF and mounted.
and Mr.. Dougherty SAYS he carried il
and was elected in spite of the odds
against him.
