Seats on the roof OF a six-story house
can be had at 81 90 each, and when
the fair custodian Of the register was
asked If they were all front seats her
only answer was a provoking smile.
An italian fruit dealer announces
seats under an awning, on the pave
ment, at g each; yet these prices are
Insignificant when the purpose is con-
sidered it is worth princes ransom TO
see loyal President march to the
White house again.
This mornings Press (Republican),
says: at looks as though the murder
of John NJ. Clayton was q political
necessity" and Mr.. Harrison said to
Louis Altheimer, of Pine Bluff, who
was at indianapolis when his assas-
sination was made known,
at is terrible. There has been
nothing since Mr.. Garfeld's assassi-
nation more disgraceful to the state or
people. Such outrages will have to
stop"
When the news was received here
yesterday morning it was believed
that Powell Clayton was the victim,
and it created much excitement and
unqualified condemnation at the capt.
tol. Senator James, Of Arkansas,
when he heard it said "Plumersville
was the place where the ballot boxes
were stolen on the night of the last
election. Every effort to discover the
thieves had so far failed, and it is
probable that they, feeling that Clay
ton might be OH their track, conclud-
ed to put him out of the way.
That is probable.
Here is fine nest of probabilities;
more reliable than those of the
w Gather Bureau. Is it probable the /
thieves" acted on their own volitiOn, !
or that the con testee's friends put up
the damage signal ? 1t is refreshing
to know that an effort was made to
discover the thieves" The COLI
5estee presumably used every effort
% discover them.
The committee in the Washing ton
county ballot box robberies and SINH
ar pleaasantries, made their report
substantiating the facts
presented by the memorialists, Hack
worth, Moore and SchutZe. Sem

'ort, declaring there is no county of
in Texas. No such per-
ons as the memorialists ever existed,
r If they did, they were republicans,
therefore, don't count, consequently,
he majority had no right to make a
eport.
The Press while it, hand on heart,
eclares, personally we have for
ZEN. Malone none other than the
indest feelings" further says: "The
epublican party with great unani-
lity, would be delighted if President
Harrison would appoint Gen. Malone
} some foreign mission, and thereby
ecure a united republican party in
'irginia.n This will throw Malone
lto ecstasies.
A toilet reporter at one of Mrs
Yhitney's receptions took the cake.
Miss - wore skirts of cream color
d vermicelli lace, and a too utterly
etching incroyable coat of dark wine
elvet, trimmed in the most bewilder-
lg manner"
Represen tative Breckenridge, whose
eat the murdered Clayton was con-
esting, has the gall. Last evening he
aid, Judging from what had been
ublished regarding the details of the
ragedy, he supposed that the MUIR
erer was the party who stole the bal
1t boxes on the night of election. but
ssumed that politics had nothing to

Idicious, very, Mr.. Breckenridge.
