506 plurality. Since then there has
been large Republican immigration in
to the State from Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and of negroes from the South to work
on railroads. West Virginia now from
this Republican increase of voters should
have gone at least 5000 Republican.
Notwithstanding the great influence of
the great Mr.. Elliins, who was a great
Blaine man in 1888, but deserted to Har-
rson for cabinet place in 1892, West
Virginia, we regret to say, at last ac-
counts was placed at some 5000 to 10000
majority for Cleveland. Evidently Pres
ident Harrison has not been wise in all
his political investments. In view of the
sIde-lights, of which the reader has herein
caught some glimpses, it is apparent
that Harrison's defeat is largely the re-
suit of his own way OF doing things.
And yet although he rode in an ice wag-
on his record was unexceptonable. lie
was conscientious and faithful to every
trust from his own standpoint. lie was
the best speaker in the United States
from the tail of cart, from the rear end
of railroad train, or at Sunday school
picnic, a good man every way, and yet
to compare him in craftsmanship, or in
those brilliant qualities of genius that
captivate people, and men of advanced
thought with Blaine, is like standing up
pigmy by the side of giant. Now
! 81, ho a1a ic
doubt Mr.. Blaine will before long tell
the story of why.he left Mr.. Harrison's
cabinet and will write philosophically on
the causes of the political avalanche of
1892. When he does so it will be mighty
interesting reading.-LTroy Budget.

House Cleaning Pretty Nearly Used the
Sympathetic Husband Up.
Can anyone tell why il is that in all
the pathetic stories of house cleaning
with which the newspapers periodically
abound, 1t is invariably the husband
and father who is represented as the
chief sufferer? Here, now, is the latest
of such veracious chronicles. clipped
from the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. Per-
haps the mystery Is explained by the
excessively sympathetic nature of the
average man.
Directly after breakfast the man of
the house took to the sofa in the sit
ting room with the morning newspaper,
while his wife set about the house
cleaning. She was dismantling the
front room, and before he had finished
the sporting column she had carried
past him seven chairs, three tables, a
desk, four footstools, all the pictures, a
piano stool, bookcase and sundry 9TH
er pieces of furniture
Then she lugged in a pair of steps
and pail of water and began to clean.
