Then there were floats representing “Buch and Breck,’’ the Walker filli busters, border ruffians beating wom en to death, southerners applying tar dnd-feather coats to free-state men, a Simon Legree beating an Uncle Tom, a Brooks breaking his cane over a Sumner’s head, Brigham Young and his wives, (Mormonism was then a democratic asset) and all winding up with a representation of the “gigantic Douglas attacking the Missouri com promise. That day it was declared there were only two parties in Ohio— “The Peoples' and the Postmasters’ .” When the election was over there was hardly a suggestion of a cessa tion of the republican activity. No body believed that Buchanan would j be able to solve the delicate problems | which confronted him.

'.—Stewart Davis, who is managing the move ment to put a colored candidate In the field for the United States Senate, has the certificate of candidacy of W. Ashbie Hawkins, colored lawyer of this city, filed In the office of the Secretary of State. He announced that the petitions tor the candidacy of Hawkins had al ready been sif^ned by not less than 2.500 persons and that It was ex pected that before the list was closed it would mount up to at least 5,000 names. Not only have the petitions bee1 signed, but they have gone so far a-^ to organize about twenty colored clubs in the city and various parts of the State, and some of these have the name of Harding Coolidge and Hawkins. The colored people are reported to be very active for a can didate of their own, especially at Easton, Cambridge and Hagerstown, as well as in Baltimore city, and the backers of the colored candidate say they can count on the almost solid support of the women of their race for the candidate for the Senate. j A Good Front.

When Millville graduated from • mere struggling hamlet Into a growing village it had two well traversed thor oughfares only. The first <JHe had been called Straight street from t.tne 1m i memorial and was aptly so designated. Branching off from It was what bad been originally a mere cow path. No effort was made to untangle Its sinu osities. The precise (^posite of the broad, far extending street called Straight, It was naturally termed I Crooked street. As time went on and the town grew they changed the name to Bellepl^ine avenue, but the old aer ! tiers and even the younger generation 1 very often called it by Its old name. It was probably mere circumstance ’ that lodged Vernon Blair on Straight ; street. The thoroughfare was respect able and he «as of a character that would seek such an environment. It was predilection, however, that drift ed Blake Massey to Crooked street. ! Gradually that avenue had become oh j score, Its houses dilapidated. It was the social dumpirtg ground of tjm town and what there were of drinking places and the like found a harhor that suit ed them. Massey had decent rooms above a pawn shop. He liked to be amid scenes of activity and excitement and the place suited him. He never stopped to think that the companion ship he incidentally gained was nut elevating, hut he cherished his lively evenings among men who liked to Bee ; what they called “life." He had charge of a floor In the principal department store of the town and Vernon Blair was the man ager of another paying the best sal ary In the establishment. Blair had worked hard and faithfully to gain this pre-eminence. He had honest dreams of a future and when he fell In love with Leshla Burrows he fan ; cied Hie .saw success before him. Blair was uneasy when tie learned ■ that Massey had been Introduced to Lesbia by a mutual friend and noted that his flashy ways had a certain effect In Interesting Lesbia. her faml ly and her friends. There was a flaunting, specious fel low named Greg Barth with whom Massey trained and one day at the noon hour these two met In a restau rant near the store. “Well, I fancy I’ve set the ropes,” was the greeting of Barth. "So far as this Burrows girl you are so wild over. Is concerned. 1 don't think bet folks will tolerate much of Blair's j company after a letter I have got a particular friend of mine In Empton to write reaches them. That will be his quietus.” , “Now then, about his position at the store." “You know that little cousin of mine, Ned Trotter, was transferred to Blair’s department last week?” “Yes.” “Well, leave the rest to Ned. I’ve posted him and he Is clever as they make them. Pretty soon Blair's de partment will be In a muddle, mls-'ng 1 goods, neglect In deliveries and all that. You understand?” “I do,” assented bis unprincipled confrere, “and I won’t begrudge a liberal rake off when I get the new position.” A month later to the amazement of everybody who knew him, Vernon Blair was dismissed from the service of the store. Because the parents of Leshla began to act coldly and sus piciously toward him he left Mill ville, attempting no explanation of his dismissal, and took a subordinate posi tion In Empton. This confirmed a certain suspicion Mr. and Mrs. Bor rows entertained, for a letter that : coupled his name with a young lady who came from that town had reached them. Leshla mourned, but she bore her grief In silence for circumstances allowed no meeting with Blair again. One day Leshla was passing a street corner when an automobile furiously driven turned It sharply. A lad of about sixteen was directly In Its path. He was borne down and then tossed against the curb. The spot was only a square from Leshla's home. She recognized the lad as Ned Trotter, knew that he lived poorly with strangers and In her sympathy and Interest In an orphaned hoy had him conveyed to her own home. For a week Ned was given tender and willing care hy the Burrows fami ly. His Injuries were quite serious, but he mended rapidly. He was seated In an Invalid chair ou the porch one day, when he notleed Lesbia gazing at a photograph, her eyes brimming with teaps. The original of the pic ture at a glance he knew to be Ver non Blair. The better nature of Ned stirred within him. He recalled the plot against Blair In which he had been In duced to act. He knew about the false letter. He had come to Idolize these new friends who had done so much for him. “Miss’ Burrows.” be spoke, “I have done yon and Mr. Blair a great wrong. Will you help me right It?" And then the whole story came oot. If presented Ned In no enviable light. "But Tm willing to suffer If I have to.” he declared plucklly. “My part I will freely confess. Ail I say abont the letter I will prove.” It took only a few days for Leshla to straighten out the tangle that threatened to destroy her happiness and that of Vernon Blair. Quietly Massey was discharged, as quietly Blair was reinstated. The plotter de parted for parts unknown. His victim won the bride of whom be wsx truly worthy.
