- The Tally-Ho Coach.

We see by the Newport Daily OBJ
server that Hon. Henry B. Cliford's
mail coach, "The State of Washing
ton" is The handsomest ever seen at
Newport 1t is equipped with "colored
tigers" after the old southern style.
The coach is red and black, carries
twelve persons and weighs loaded over
5000 lbs. Mr.. Clifford has just started
on coaching tour of the southern
watering places and will no doubt talk
Washington Ell route. The new
state deserves congratulations in hav-
ing a man of Mr.. Clifford's mental
caliber and wealth to boom it's re-
sources. He is boomer in the full
sense of the word. His methods are
SO novel, yet he is so gentlemanly and
fair in his manner, that even the citi-
zens of Nashua petitioned that he re-
turn here and speak at the opera
house the second time on the same
subject. The taking of his private
coach on his trip shows him to be
ever ready to present Washington in
an attractive way.
"A lOur-ln-hand is very expensive
luxury; experts generally rank it in
the same category with a wife or a
steam yacht, neither of which extrav-
agances Is to be thought of by aman
with moderate income. The whole
turnout costs, to begin with, not far
from $50OQ-a handsome, we'll built

to $4,000. Eight horses are almost
necessity, as the huge carriages are
heavy and nnwieldy, and, if used con-
stantly, wear out the strength OF the
sturdiest steeds after a very. little
while. Then there is all the
costly paraphernalia of silver noun
ted harness, liveries and so on, while a
we'll instructed corps of men in the
stable to keep the whole establishment
IN order goes without. saying, not to
mention those imported footmen who
SIT IN elevated places and gaily toot
the horn. So il is little wonder that a
coach represents the height of lux
nry and dazzles those who look upon
1t as it rumbles by with all due pomp
and circumstance.

how, some years ago, himself, with
Ldward Miller and John B. Forbes.
if we remember right, met as a
central comittee, in the old Shelton

Tor the election of that year, and
elected a part Of it too. This goes
to show that not a great deal of
interest has been taken in the
politics of Mason County IN by

republicans (who were then in a

The Offices Combined.

The county commissioners at
tIelr recent session decided, upon
the belief that Mason County con-
tanned a less population than three
thousand, to consolidate the offices
of sheriff and assessor and of the
auditor and clerk. <. Section two OF
the act relating to fees and salaries
of county officers, makes that
provision for such cases, wherein
the duties do not conflict. There
seems to be much doubt, since the
completed official returns are not at
hand, that this county has less
than three thousand people, and of
the propriety of consolidating
these offices. The. new election
law, upon the Australian principle
provides, in direct contradiction to
the above section, as follows
s'Sectipn 6. No certificate of
'nomination shall contain the name
Of more than one candidate, for
each office to be filled. No person
shall join in the Nomination of
more than one person, for each
office to be filled. and no person
shall accept nomination to more
than one otfce.'' :,
In the event,thaf this county is
within tho twenty: sixth class, 5000
or less, 1t is contrary to the letter
and spirit of the Australian system
for one person to be voted tor two
offices, and the county commits
loners should look the matter up
and not undertake the risk OF
lnvalidating any par of the cleo
ton, which we believe. exists. 1t
may not be an easy matter to
lind compctens persons to enter
the lists TOR the separate offices,
under the small salaries that we
provided. and while auditor of the
county and clerk of the superior
court may be acceptably filled by
one person, the duties of the
sheriff cannot we'll be handled by
the same person, when taking the
assesssmAent of the county, and vice
versa. The salaries provided are
as follows: Auditor, S7OO; clerk,
$500; sheriff 500; assessor, SIS.
per. day.-all excepting the latter
who is employed a short time in
the year, too small, for the full
