 Somebody, gifted with droll hu- nor, has recently sent communica- tiou to the Hartford Times, which takes the form of an allegory. By the device of relating what proves to have been a dream, the witty writer suggests what would probably happen, in case fire should break out in one of our large wooden buildings, some cold, windy winter night, or indeed any other night, The points suggested to the mem bers of the hose company in particular and the people of Canaan in general are whether, in case of nocturnal alarm of fire, matters have been 50 systematized that the key to the M. E. church could bs found and the church bell rung with out delay; that the company would turn ont promptly, be able to get into the hose cart house, find the machine and hose in good repair and working order, and that keys to tho hydrants would be available and that ladders could be found, all before it would be too late. It would be we'll to drill the company now and then and perhaps have an oc- casionsl false alarm by way of practice.

This is regarded as somewhat significant, az 1t
,s known that Senator Wallace has not been a
supporter of Cleveland, and openly committed
to Hill. 1t seems to indicate that If the
Pennsylvania delegation is wanted for Cleve-
land there will not likely bo any break In it,
unless it should be made by the Pattison
people Nobody appears to contemplate that,
however 80 long az Cleveland is q possibility.
Gen. ]. S. Clarkson, Chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee, was interviewed
last week and spoke at much length. Among
other things when asked If the President
should fail of q majority would there be dan
ger to the party in the severe disappointment
of himself and friends he said: Oh, no; Gen.
Harrison is too good Republican for that and
too square fighter himself He is SO broad
minded that he thinks more of q man for hav-
ing and maintaining his own views. He has
always done so himself 1t is the main glory
of Gen. Harrison, to my mind, that he be-
lieves in public and not private motives control
ing all men in politics and private affairs.
He would rather lose the Presidency to day
than to beg any man for his support"
In regard to Secretary Of State Harrity, OF
Pennsylvania, it is pretty well known that he
a temper to vote for Pattison, regardless of the
fact that they are for Cleveland. So energetic
has this become that Cleveland's friends are
beginning to charge that the majority of the
delegation under Harrity's control is to be used
as much as possible to interfere with the sue
cess of Cleveland, aud 80 aid to open the way
for Pattison. It is conceded that they will be
fo- Cleveland ostensibly, but that they will dis
credit him by their talk and suggestion that he
would be losing candidate, whereas Patti5on
ia without complications.

wholly anisintSrpreted by you.
BY the resolutions every voter is
Unjoinea TO ffst work through his
party foe the nomination OF a candi-

silver, bat failing IN this, then to cast
his influence and ballot for an indie
pendent free coinage candidate.
Your advice and argument is to the
effect that we should wait until after
the conventions have fixed things and
then take the dose least naeueating.
"Our advice to Democratic is to Gee
chat no man goes to the State conven-

any other man opposed to u inter
ests." That is TO say, send delegates
to the Chicago convention under the
following pledge: We pledge orr
selves to support no man for the
nomination who is opposed to the free
coinage Of silver, but in the event Of
Cleyeland's nomination, knowing his
hostility to silver, we pledge him our
support.
