There is no darkness, sir! It is all

laid out, something like a ship

his clothes in the sun, but the con-
fusion of the scene and the want of
comfort in the look of the place and
of the man were speedily forgotten.
After few words of courteous well

expcund his doctrines concerning
"chattel slavery" which, he was
careful to remind me, had first been
introduced by Englishmen into
America. He spoke with earnest

BALLAD.
Il was not in the winter

II was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast. ~
It was the time of roses.
We plucked them as we pass'd.
That curlish season never frown'd
On early lovers yet
Oh, mol The world was newly crown'd
With flowers when we first met.
Twas twilight, and babe you go,
But still you held me fast.
1t was the time of roses.
We pluck'd them as we pass'd.
What else could peer thy glowing cheek
That tears began to studi
And when asked the like of love
You snatch'd a damasL bud
And oped it to the dainty core,
Still glowing to the last.
1t was the time of roses.
We pluck'd them as we pass'd.
Thomas Hood.

this year. IN the present canvas, used the
following language:
Another act consists OF jEgglery in fig

This feature Of the Canvass is the claim

the comparisons rhey make with former
administrations.
They claim that the state Indebtedness

reduction OF $49s, AZ should be placed 10
their credit.
In other words, the assumption Is that
out OF the current and ordinary revenues OF
the state they have paid current expenses
and Ia addition reduced the state indeote-
ness in the sum Of $4s6. $50 a..
This proffered balance sheet is not only
deceving out * u dishonest.
IF they have really been as economical
as they profasa they would have reduced
the public debt in the sim OF $Sa9.Sss.49. be-
cause they have received that amount out

sources. viz: the tide land fund and delin-

Lewis Admirers. Who Once offered
Two to One. Want Even Money.

Special D.spatch to the Post-Ints,ligencer.
TACOMA, Nov. 2-Severai waze-s have
been laid here OF the state ticket. Late last
night, after the fusion meeting, an over
enthusiastic admirer of Cot Lewis offered
to bet two TO one Mr.. Lewis would be
elected lie hadn't declared himself be-
fore his bet was called, and now some so
or there abouts OF his money Is IN the
hands Of a stakeholder.
Today small bets have been made in sew
eral places about town. The TWO 10 ono
proposition OF last night however is no
longer In evidence and there seems 70 be
a downward tendency In Lewis money.
The bets thus far made are all small. but
II they Indicate how the wind blows. Lewis
stock Is not In the ascendency. The odds
which a week ago 1t was said would be
offered on Congressman Lewis are not to
be found. Fifty to forty on Lewis is the
very best bet TO be had here, and In two
cases out Of three the odd givers weaken
and want even money when 1t comes to
depositing their cash.
