Pretty rich, isn't it, for the Argus
and Patriot to settle the presidential
election thus early. Listen!
'"The 28th of last November the Argus
and Patriot said that Hon. William c..
Whitney, Secretary of the Navy, would in
1891 be nominated and elected Governor of
New York by the Democrats, and that Gov.
Hill would be nominated and elected Presi-
dent Of the United States il 1892. Tuesday
of week before last Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney gave dinner at their Washington
Mrs. Cleveland, at which Gov. Hill was one
of the distinguished guests. The following
afternoon all the Democratic members of
the Senate and House, with many other
leading men in the Democratic party from
various sections of the country who were
at Washington, were invited to meet Gov
Hill at the residence of Secretary Whitney,
'Straws show which way the wind blows,
and does not the logic of events indicate
that the representations of the Argus and
Patriot last November are likely to prove
correct
Possibly, but perhaps if Whitney
keeps on giving dinner parties he may
reverse the order. If we remember
correctly the Argus attributed the de-
feat Of Mr.. Blaine in 1884 largely to
feast held in New York, but then the
dining and shaking hands of promi-
nent democrats don't seem to win al
ways. And, finally, to be candid, we
have known this same prophet of
Montpelier to be unreliable in his pre-
dictions, even only few days previ-
Gus to this prophecy of Nov. 28th.
The question naturally arises, if one
cannot judge of events few hours
distant, what is the same persons
opinion worth regarding an election
two or three years hence. But dinner
straws are ominous in the eyes of the
superstitious ex-boss and soon to be ex-
postmaster general of Vermont.

turn in at the Methodist church we
thought perhaps that the folks had mis-
taken the day and were going to meet

was company of the South Plain
members and friends of the Methodist
church making friendly call on their
pastor and his family. They had de-
iightful time, in a social way, then
spread their own table and invited the
family at the parsonage to sit down
with them and be waited on and served

Last Tuesday morning was the an
niversary of the disastrous fire which
swept over this village on the morning
of Feb. 10, 1888, and which for time
almost completely FRUSTRATED the bust
ness part of the town. Many of our
readers will well remember that morn
ing ana the gloom which for time
was cast over the community, but
which was quickly dlspelled, and by
reason of energy, thrift and push of
our business men has proved a bless
ing in disguise. In our issue of Feb.
Esd, of that year we took occasion to
say editorially: "Many of the greatest
blessings in life come disguised, and
we trust that the future will prove to
be blessing of this sort" How well
our anticipations have been realized,
we leave it to our readers to judge, for
at the present writing hardly scar re-

affection which was visited upon the
village of Bradford in the winter of
1888.

By this time considerable crowd
had collected, not only from our com.
pany, but from several OF the adjoining
ones, and were beginning to take an
eager interest in the conversation,
coaxing the darky to crafty the desire
OF the long, lanky, would-be champion
wrestler. In response to their question
as to why he wouldn't wrcstle, he an
swered that he didn't like TO wrestle
with white man, because, II he threw
him, he would get mad and pound him.
Tho boys assured him that they
would protect him, and the big wrestler
also declared that he would harbor no
malice. So, spurred on by our COM
pany, our little darky consented to try
n fall with his formidable antagonist
They stripped for the fray by removing
their jackets, and as they took their
places inside the wide ring formed by
the spectators, on the carpet OF green
grass for which the State is so famed,
| must confess had very little expecta-
tion OF our company cook adding any
thing TO the company's laurels on that
occasion. As they placed their hands
on each others shoulders and took a
firm grip, the discrepancy in the size of
our champion was still more marked.
His opponent lowered nearly foot
above him, and how the little fellow
stood any chance to throw the big fel-
low ! couldn't see.

"Yes, go ahead, said the big one, as
he braced his feet apart, evidently ex-
pecting n powerful side jerk.
well. den. look out for yousef."
With the words the little darby
dropped on his back, pulling his antag-
onist forward over him, threw up his
feet, caught the falling man in the
stomach, gave him hoist, and landed
him on his back on the hard sod with
such force that his desire for further
wrestling was entirely squelched.
The little darky was on his feet in
simultaneously, holding him down; but
it wasn't necessary. Instead, he helped
him up, to stink away. But the shouts
that greeted the little fellows victory
were hearty and prolonged, and were
nearly equaled by the jeers at the van
quished party as he limped sullenly
away, while the cook went back to fin
ish his breakfast. e. NJ. Watson, Co.
