months after the balloting, and
the intense excitement and feel
ing subsided only with the inau-
guration of Rutherford IB. Hayes
on March 4, 1877.
Newspapers on the morning
after the election in 1876 gem
orally conceded the victory to
Tilden. In that year New York
gave it's electoral votes to the
minority candidate. But in every
ELECTION since that time up to
1916 New York's great block of
ELECTORAL votes has been cast on
1.-The winning side.
Not since the two administra-
|tions of Andrew Jackson, 1929
1887, has any democratic presi-
dent had the privilege of serving
two consecutive terms. Since the
election of Lincoln in 1861 there
have been twelve presidents. And
in the period of fifty-six years
lending next March there have
been bait twelve years of demo-
cratic administrations. These
were covered in the two terms of
Grover Cleveland and the first
term of President Wilson,.

Soldiers falling shot with slugs and mats and leads
Or with systems which pnnctured full punctuation marks
Or perhaps some Linotype newspaper heads.
Picture how British sentry would be filled with keen regret
To be shot with "Gott srafe England set in pabst
Fancy Turk would feel shot wita whole French alphabet
Or Bulgar hit with bold Italic
Then suppose Russian majors killed by German shaded face
What sad and cruel death twould be to die.
If slaughtered by old English lower
Serbian blown up with Turkish pill
Bombets filled with qpads and spacebans It's awful thing

And it's sinful distribution, To be sure:

sion being the fact that the Judge is
a Republican and his appointment
was made by a Democratic admins
tration. Young Mr.. Chuzzlewit
ramped gleefully over Congressman
Shouse for permitting such thing to
happen and then wallowed in his
mess of drivel like a drunken luna
tic. His feeble mentality failed to
grasp the situation at all. The place
required Republican, hence Mr..
Shouse recommended Republican to
fill 1t, instead of a Democrat. And
while he was about 1t he found Re-
publican who was capable of filing
it, and one who would be an honor
and credit to the state. Naturally
this latter fact made no appeal to the
literary light from the cradle roll.
He was so eager for something in the
way Of campaign thunder he had no
time to consider facts. But perhaps
we should not be too severe. En-
dowed by nature with vacuum in
stead of a brain, then set to a task of
making campaign dope out of moth
ing, after having said vacuum cooked
to a brown turn by a forty-days'
drouth, is some handicap.-Stafford

Frank Gates and Earl Raymond, a
Ford and hay rake. made rather
undesirable combination, when the
rake and the Ford came in contact
Monday night about eleven o'clock,
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
the Artesian school house. The boys
were in Mr.. Gates Ford and were
driving west. At some point along
the road they met a man driving a
team hitched to big wagon. From
the report we get, he failed to give
half the road. Frank Gates, who was
driving the car, turned to the right
sufficient distance to pass the wagon,
but the dust raised by the horses and
the wagon made it impossible for him
to see that rake was hitched on be-
hind it and that it extended out sew
eraI feet. The result is easily guessed.
The car was overturned and the oc-
cupants thrown out, but fortunately
not hurt. The Ford and the rake
both were quite badly wrecked

The Tri-State Poultry and Pet
Stock Association will be big af-
fair this winter, if the plans are car
ried out successfully: The promoters
are beginning to get ready for this
show early, and hope to get large
number Of entries. The Tri-State
Poultry Show is by far the biggest
affair of it's kind in this part Of the
state, and is recognized as such by
the larger associations in the east.
This year it is the Intention of the
association to, open the doors free to
everybody. They are also planning
to, have a big Farmers Institute in
connection with the poultry show this
year. The Agricultural College at
Manhattan has already told us that
they would be glad to arrange their
dates to suit this occasion. w. A.
Lamb of the Kansas Agricultural
College at Manhattan will be the
Judge at the poultry show. 1t will
take about 500 to finance the show
this year and the Bucklin business
men should all rally to the support
by donating several dollars to this
cause.-Buck1in Banner.
