THE TOWN CRIER.

standard bearers as they were week
ago, and the crowd is as restless, and
its ebb and flow as ceaSeleSs. as last
Monday evening, when the states of
both houses were in doubt. But this
claimant for preferment had to be ruth
lessly slaughtered, and that man
though everybody knew him to be
good fellow-had no claim for reDgnl-
ton, so the engine of state pursued the
even tenor of its way. and brushed
some aside, and even ran over
others as it sped away upon
its ninety days voyage. The
names of the victorious candidates
have been posted on the outer walls,
and consequently there is no necessity
for the myriad of disappointed to haunt
the corridors: but they do so neverthe
less, and majority of them may still
be seen upon the battlefield every aft
ernoOn.
They do not buttonhole the repre-
sentatiyes-elect. nor do they uSurp the
choice places in the vicinity Of the
stove, with as much cOmp0sure as for
merly. They seem to be part and par
eel of the now useless political furni-
ture which the aStute politician, like
stow away in the garret until the proper
occasion presents itself. 1t will then
be taken from its hlding-place. the dust
carefully brushed off, and the comedy
which has until so recently held the
the boards will be re-enacted. But
meanwhile the defeated candidates are
aimleSsly standing around, and though
the majority of them are philosophers,
they form a sad commentary upon the
ups and dowls of life, with particular
reference to the fluctuations of political
prefermeut.
A wel-knoWn man about town. who
attended the inaugural ball last We'd
neSday evening, expressed himself in
language both forcible and characters
tic when he said: Il was surprised
and panied to note the lack of gallantry,
and consequently breach of the rudi
ments of common etiquette, on the part
of many of the young society men pres
ant. These from St. Paul, Minneap-
Blis and all parts of the state, rushed
into the dancing hall at the first indica-
sion of the approaching festivities, and
gemained in the room until the conclu-
sion Of the last cotillion, to the exclusion
of most OF those in whose honor the
party was given. Those who were
crowded out would have been glad to
come in. and with stateSmanlike tread,
walk through the intricacieS of plain
quadrille, or forget care and trouble in
the abandon of dreamy waltz. But
such pleasure was denied them, and
very few were able to crafty their in
clination. They knew few of the ladies
present, and in view of existing circum-
stances it struck me that the Legislators
were not treated with due consideration
by many of the unthinking guests"
-
''But courtesy is courtesy" continued
the legislative champion, as he lit
fresh cigar, land the man who will give
up his seat in the street car to the rosy
checked, pretty girl, to the exclusion of
the female of doubtful age, with the
market basket on her arm, is, after all,
on par with the lass, if SIZE accepts his
offer. [ believe in treating every one
with Difference and respect, and would
as soon think of snubbing a poor rela-
ton as of defrauding my waSherW0man.
There are hosts of men, however, who
view life differently, and would recOg
nize man over friendly piece of ma
hogany whom they would snub at the
Patriarchs' bali. Such men merit the
contempt of all fair-minded persons.
But excuse me! There comes that
odiouS Brown. He has an unSayory
reputation. and he might presume to be
familiar with me because | accepted an
invitation to dine with him last even

Time was hanging heavily on the
hands of S. V. Harris, of the Ryan, last
evening, and in a miSehieyOuS mood he
inscribed on the register in large bold
hand. ''Ben Harrison, Indianapolis"
and turning the Office over to Lutte
Cafferty with a bland smile calmly
waited for results. Hello" cried Billy
Mobiles, one of the many original Ralph
Rockstr ws" in Pinafore, as five minutes.
later he awakened Lutte from a gentle
doZe, sis this the president-elect whose
name | see before me?" "Naw."
Il guess that is fake by Harrls," was
the reply. But news spreads rapidly,
and it was not long before Billy Mobiles
had communicated the fact to Monroe
Felt that the preSident-elect was in the
house, and in short time majority of
the male guests of the Ryan had critic
ally looked at the signature, and one
gentleman positively identified it as
Harrison's, averring that he had often
seen it. The news spread about town,
that the next incumbent of the preSi-
dental chair was in the city. But, as a
matter of fact, it was joke, and the
room to which the distinguished guest
was assigned was not taken into consid-
Grafton when the architect drew the
plans for the hotel.
Ian glad to see the snow," said Off
Ger James Carey last evening. "They
say that an open winter prevents vast
amount of suffering among the poor,
and possibly it does. The poor may
not suffer from absolute cold during a
warm winter, but thousands of unfor-
tunates who have been accustomed to
fall back on winter as last resort for
turning an honest penny, have been at
a loss this year to know how to keep the
wolf from the door. The advent of the
Snow has given hope to them that they
will find work on the streets"

"Ignatius Donnelly made a gallant
struggle for the Endorsement of the
Farmers alliance" said J. j. Furlong
last evening, land he conducted his
fight with an ability which he alone
could have shown. Even if he is de-
feated, he will have the proud con-
SciouSness of having done yeoman work
for his cause" But the Sage was prac-
ticallv defeated. He grasped at the
shadow and lost the substance. and Sc
cured the Endorsement of a useless
factor while failing to get the assur-
ances of the men who formed it's impor-
tant integral parts. But as is his wont,
Mr.. Donnelly was happy and cheerful
last evening, and seemingly careless of
the morrow.
