Electoral messengers from only two States

with all due solemnity the IL votes of North
Carolina for Cleveland and Thurman. Later
in the day Mr.. Robert s. Green, Jr., presented,
with equal solemnity, New Jerseys nine votes
for Cleveland and Thurman. Mr.. Ingalls, ac-

Cleveland has undoubtedly been elected"

IT is interesting to learn, on the authority
of Mr.. Childs, that Mr.. Singerly finds Mr..
Cleveland cold man; but it is not especially
surprising nor is the fault peculiar to Mr..
Cleveland. 1t is natural, if not inevitable,
that the Democratic wheel horses should
find pretty nearly everything very cold this

Bad Southside Streets,

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Recently noticed in your paper some ac-
count Of the muddy condition of the East End
streets. I would like to call the attention of
the authorities to some of the Southside
thoroughfares, especially South Twenty-eighth
and Twenty-ninth streets. The latter leads to
the Jones & Laughlins' bridge, and 1 must say
1t is nearly impossible for men, much less
women, to reach the bridge on account of mud.
II anyone doubts this statement let them come
and look at the street. 1t is so cut by heavy
teams that light conveyauces cannot get
through. 1t is not right, and would like to
see the matter remedied speedily. ]. W. 8.

THE report of case in New York in
which woman was arraigned for pawning
twenty-seveE pairs Of trousers which she
had been making at the ideal wages Of
80 cents dozen, and defended herself by
the fact that she could not get the wages
due her for making eighty-eight pairs for
the same employer, should lead society to
ask itself in earnest whether the present
rule of shaping economic operations for the
benefit of the rich is not failure.

IT is rather misstating the case to assert,

is likely to accentuate the general belief
that Colonel Dudley smirched himself.

All Eyes on Blaine.

The presence of Mr.. Blame in the city has ex-
cited lively local interest in the question of
Cabinet possibilities. Mr.. Blaine is placed, by
this condition of affairs, in very unenviable
position. His hotel has been besieged by re-
porters and correspondents of metropolitan
papers who have been instructed by manag-
ing editors to obtain interviews with him on
the ruling political question of the day; and to
all of these Mr.. Blaine has been obliged to deny
himself studiously. He cannot comment on
the President-elect or venture an opinion of the
possibilities of his choice for members of his
political family. Mr.. Harrison has told him no
more than he has told anyone else, and I have
the authority of those who have talked with
Mr.. Harrison recently, and for whom he sent
to W ashington, that he has told no one any,
thing concerning his plans. One Senator who
went to Indianapolis and had long talk with
General Harrison said to me on his return to
this city: When they tell you that Harrison
has said or intimated this or that concerning
bis plans, believe nothing of what they say. Mr..
Harrison asks great many questions but he
has not committed himself in any way, and I
do not believe he has made up his mind yet"
Knowing nothing, then, Mr.. Blaine would be
much embarrassed by curious questions con-
cerning his political future and that of the new
administration. For this reason he has been
denied to newspaper men and has received only
the personal friends who have called to pay
their respects.

A Significant Straw,

During his brief stay at the Richmond, and
before his removal to his permanent quarters
at the Normandie, Mr.. Blaine was entertained
informally at dinner by General John B. Hen
derson, of Missouri, and his wife. This event
was looked upon by some people as significant
as General Henderson is regarded as strong
political significance. however. Mr.. Blaine has
been friend of Mr. Henderson for long
time. Mr.. Henderson was chairman of the
convention which nominated Mr.. Blaine tor the
Presidency nearly five years ago. Mr.. Hender-
son was not at that timo Blame man, how
ever, and he has never been a supporter of Mr..
Blaine for the Presidential nomination. He
had hoped before the convention of 1888, that
Mr., Sherman would be nominated, but when
he saw that the nomination OF Mr.. Sherman
was not possible, he did some strong work for
General Harrison. During the campaign in
October, when money was being freely spent in
Indiana, Chairman Huston, of the Indiana
State Committee, made an appeal to General
Henderson for financial assistance. and within
As hours meeting had been called in st. Louis,
and S35 600 raised and forwarded TO Mr.. Huston.
1t was done SO quietly that not 200 Republicans
in St. Louis knew anything about it. That
s35. 900 did power of good" in the campaign,
and General Harrison has probably not for
gotten 1t.
relation to the campaign that he, like Mr.. Quay,
did not know General Harrison. His service
in the Senate was long before General Harri-
sons time, and although he has met the Presi-
dent-elect, he has no acquaintance with him.
This does not prevent General Harrison know
ing General Henderson by reputation, and he
has made inquiries about him of several of
those whom he has summoned to indianapolis
to advise with him. This is significant of moth
ing except that General Harrison has had Gen.
eral Henderson's name called to his attention in
some strong and impressive way; but it opens
the road to many speculations. General Hender-
son was responsible in great degree for the
surprising political change in Missouri in the
recent election, and 1t is possible that the next
President will think that recognition of that
State will pave the way to bring it into the Re
publican fold in the near future.

SIGNIFICANT WINK.

An Anecdote Of the Famous Cheeryble
Brothers Of Dickens.
A great part of what is called a
mans success in life depends upon his
finding out in good season what his
natural bent is. and then following it.
James Nasmyth was particularly
fortunate in this respect. Although
his father was an artist, and he HIM
self had no little aptitude for drawing
and painting. yet he was sure that he
was "cut out" for a machinist and a
machinist he became. Having learned
his trade. he went to Manchester to
start in business for himself. and there.
among other good people, he met the
Brothers Grant. the famous Cheeryble
Brothers Of Dickens. He was first in
troduced to Daniel. who invited him
to his house. and presented him to his
noble brother William" as Daniel
always called him. At the dinner
table young Nasmyth sat next to
William, and was asked many ques-
lions.
hOW OiO are you!
"Twenty-six."
Rather young to begin business on
your own account"
"Yes; but have plenty of work in
me, and know how to be economical"
what capital have you?" Nasmyth
confessed that he had only sixty-three
pounds.
The old gentleman thought that
very small amount but after giving
his new friend sundry cautions, he
added that he must keep his heart up.
If some Saturday night you should
need money to pay of your hands, or for
any thing else, you will always find a
credit of five hundred pounds, at three
per cent, at my Office, and no security"
Nasymth was, of course, as much
pleased as surprised. and, as he says,
could only whisper his thanks in re-
turn. To these Mr.. Grant responded
with a squeeze of the hand, and .
peculiarly knowing wink.
This wink made q most vivid i'm

As he describes it, '.Mr. Grant seemed
