that state in the free silver column.

tary Of the advisory board of the A. p.

THE LUCKY LETTER.

The genius who IN q presidential year a.
ways figures out success for his fayor.ts
candidate by means Of an arrangement Of
letters has broken out in q new place this
year. and bases his faith upon what he
considers a peculiarly fortuitous ascend
ency OF the letter IN" Selecting names
which terminate with that letter We have
a brilliant galaxy Of celebrities. OF course
Napoleon, Wellington, Raglan. Cadogan,
Milton and Nelson readily suggest them
selves from across the sea. but nearer homo
the theory finds strength in the glori-
Gus names of Washington. Jefferson, Mad
ison. Jackson. Van Buren,. Buchanan, Lin
coin. johnson and Harrison. so that 1t is
an easy step to the year 1886 with Morton
and Allison.
1t is an axiom in newspaper Offices that
accidents. murders. suicides and fires al
ways run In triplets, SO that when the IRE
bell has rung out an alarm after a long
interval. the reporters ears are always on
the alert until for the third time the de-
partment has been called out. Then he
takes rest. The world has had its cpl
demic Of the fourteenth letter Of the alpha
bet. and the fourth letter may now perhaps
have its inning. Garfield and Cleveland
are the first two Of the regulation trio.
and those who are specializing upon lucky
signs had better cast about for Q candidate
who fills this requirement.
The twenty-four presidents have Travelled
pretty fairly over the alphabet, but the let
tiers "A'' and m" have had more than
their share. with John Adams. John
Quincy Adams. Arthur. Madison and Mon
roe. Two Harrisons and Hayes have given
another letter more than il is entitled to.
and still another has had jefferson, jack
son and Johnson. The other favored let
tiers are represented by Buchanan. Cleye-
land. Fillmore. Garfield. Grant, Lincoln.
Polk and Pierce. Taylor. Van Buren, and
Washington. If there is to be fair play in
this matter It would look as II Quay or
Davis should be entitled TO some considera-
ton, unless we take NC" to be a title and
claim, in case OF McKinley's election. the
letter TX" is to be credited with
him. There might be other considera-
tons than literal qualification in the final
selection. and we only throw this out as a
suggestion to the letter" crank.

PREVENTION OF BoLTING.

II will not be entirely safe for the Dem
ocretic party to 70 to bed again until
II has decided a very knotty problem.
