 MT. Blaine replied that the entire Texas delegA- ton had applied to him, as special favor, to let the present incumbent remain.
 "Yes," piped Harrison, "T have got letters from prominent Texans, such Rev. Whangdoodle Baxoer, Gov Ireland, Nose Schaumberg, Hon. A. w. Terrell, MT. Gilhooly, Governor Roberts, Gus De Smith and other leading Democrats, favoring the present incumbent. favor his retention"
 "Gentlemen," said I, "let me put flea in your ear. During the first Cleveland campaign an etephanfns gtganticuss from Texas, sort of . combination between Jack FdlstdG and Daniel Webster, everlastingly mopped up the earth with our orators"
 MT. Blaine was startled.
 "Yes, Jim" l continued q always call him Jim, for we are both powers behind the throne), yes, Jim, Dick Hubbard did more than Parson Burchard and the Mulligan letters to make dough of your presidential cakes He Is the Democrat Mr. Harri- son favors retaining in office In Japan"
 "Nerer" exclaimed Blaine "Mr. President, will you see that my friend, MT. Swift, of Cali fornia, is appointed at once to succeed that Texas bowhard?"
 Mir Harrison, with whom Blaine at that time had considerable influence acquiesced, and l said to myself: "Of with his headl So much for not subscribing cheerfully to the Crosby County ClGr- ion aud Farmers Vindicdtor."

"The Love Story"

Miss Adelaide Moore, the popular English actress, has recently acquired the American rights of "The Love Story,"a new drama by Pierre Leclercq, now having a very successful run at the Vaudeville theatre, London. The play is said to be one of considerable merit, and in the hands of so pains- taking an actress can scarcely fail of scoring as great success in America 1t has upon the other side.

For the Dispatch.l
To the CoIored Race.

An important election is before You.
That YOU Will all vote the Republican ticket
is not doubted, but we will call your atten-
ton TO lew facts ere YOU vote:
l. Whom do YOU ask for aid when IN trou-
ble-the Democrat or the Republican,
2. Who have given you employment, and
from whom do YOU ask advice!
8. What promises have the Republican
party fulfilled TO you? History answers
that.
4. Who are the white leaders that con-
tinuslly seek to produce strife and get you
classed as a vicious race?
8. Who have trusted you and befriended
you?
When YOU think over these things ponder
and reflect, and then think whether 1t Is
not better TO stay away from the polls and
be respected than TO cast a vote for those
who have cheated and deceived YOU, espe-
cially your leader Malone. who detrauded
Langston out of his seat and spurned him
from his presence.
Recollect. no money is TO be given out
until after election, and then you will have
to find who has it-not you.
