SQUIRE WHEELER'S WATCH.
"I'm Mrs. Wheeler Squire Wheel
er's second wifo, ho being a widower
when I married him ; and most folks
know how Sqniro Wheelor used to be
a 'kind of a distracted man when I
first married him, and how he kept on
being distracted for a considerable
spoil of time, so's I r'ally didn't feel
to expect he'd ever get out of the
habit. lie didn't keep no recollection
of events, somehow, and did Bort o'
curious things. Put on the big, strip
ed arm-chair cover instead of his
dressing-gown, and went about with
ono shoe and one slipper on, wonder
in' what made him bitch so, till I told
him. He fetched home my bandbox
from tho milliner's, and a new coal
scuttle from the store, one day, and
when he came in he throwed the
bandbox into the fireplace, and sot the
scuttle on my work-table; and one
day I jest saved him from takin' shot
instead o' pills.
"I'd knowod he was sort o' curious
before he came to.see me, and I larnt
it well durin' that timo, for you see he
built a new house for me while wo
was a courtin' ; and he took me over
for to see it arter 'twas all painted
and calcimined, and papered; and
wbilo I was lookin' at it up stairs he
forgot how's he'd fetched me and
went off and locked me in. It was
quite well set back from the road, the
house was, and all the lower windows
was fastened on tho outsido; and I
suppose I might have starved there if
it hadn't n been for Riker's little boys
corain' up about five in the afternoon
to steal cherries. They thought I
was a ghost, and so brought 6omc
folks up to look at me, and I got
let out.
"I was real mad, I kin toll you, and
first on I refused to hev anything to
do with the Squire; but ho pleaded
with me, went right down on bis
knees in his white pants in a mud
puddle, and I was tender-hearted.
Though I was most sorry I had give
in vlien he weut down to tbe villago
aud opened his office one Sunday.
I'd no idee what he'd done until he
came home to dinner. Then he was
lookin' at me, and says he:
" 'Jcrushy, I guess thero's goin to
be a weddin'; there's crowds of folks
goiti' into (he church.'
" 'A weddiu' Sunday?' says I.
"'Law!' says he, I thought 'twas
Saturday, and I've been sotten at my
desk, full face of all the folks, writin'
the huil niornin' me a deacon, tool'
"Then I called him 'a distracted old
critter!'
"However, I got over that, and he
scorned to be goin' along better than
usual, when one day be was goiu' to
start for Ihccily. He was all fixed up
and the Squire's a personable man
when he's gut hirf best clothes 011 ho
was all fixed up, mid had a new blue
cravtit, and a white bat and kid
K loves; and I was kiuderadorin'liim,
when it struck me that the clock had
slopped, and that I shouldn't know
tin: lime (or all day.
" 'Adonirain.'says I 'Admiiram.do
tel! 1110 the lime ho'h to set Hie clock.'
"The Squirt; lie was just figuring up
to got expenses all right and didn't
want to slop, go he ou fastened hid
watch oil' Hie chain, aud handed it to
me, and 1 went into the kitchen to net
the clock. I was quick as lightning,
hut bless you ! when I came back the
Squire was gone. The buggy was
most out of sight.
"'What a provokin' thing!' says I.
'Gone to town without his watch. He
wou't know about the tiains or any
thing.' And I fretted about it all day.
Well I might; I didn't know what
good reasou I had to do it.
"The boy brought the buggy back,
aud said the Squire hadn't missed his
walch, and that he'd gone off on the
right train. And the Squire he got
to New York all right, as I after
wards knew, and about ten o'clock
Cousin Peter Jones stopped in, and
f-aid he was going lo NVw York, too.
"I want to know,' says I 'whore
will you dine?'
" 'The Stuficm House,' says he.
"'Oh,' says I. 'Well, Adoniram,
he'll dine there, too, and you'll meet
him there. Just take his watch along,
won't you, and give it to him.'
"So Peler says : 'All right, pleased
to do it,' and put it loose in his left
vest pocket bis own was in his right
and off he went.
" 'Some chance of Adoniram's get
ting home to-night, now,' says I, and
felt more comfortable.
"Little I knew.
"Peter went down to the city got
there at noon, and made straight for
the hotel. Adoniram wasn't there
yet, and Peler is always tryiug ex
periments with himself; so he thought
he'd go into the barber's shop and
have his whiskers and mustache
phaved off aud his hair shingled.
And I must say for my poor husband
that I shouldn't have known him
from a crow. Ilis ears sot out so, and
he looked so lantern-jawed. He'd
worn tbe beard ten years, aud always
had his hair long; and having fixed
himself up after that fashion, he went
out again, aud there was the Squire
coming up the slreet.
''Now, Peler is always for haviug
his joke, and what should he do but
bide behind a pile of shutters and
bolt out at the Squire, and grab him
by the collar, aud say :
'"You're my prisoner!'
"Now the Squire he's sort of seri
ous aud he's sort of heavy, end be
gavo a jump, and tbero was a banana
skin on the sidowalk, and ho slipped
on it, and down both of 'em went. A
mercy they didn't break thoir legs.
But up they got, and the first thing
Petor knew tho Squire was holding
his collar and yelling 'police !'
" 'Squiro ! Squire !' says Peterdon't
you know mo ? Don't you know mo ?'
"jno, uont want to,' says poor
Adoniram.
"Then up comes tho police.
" 'Arrest (his man,' says tho Squire,
'he collared me in tho street, and I
reckon that he's got my watch. You
see it's gone. There's tho chain hang
ing out of my pocket with no watch
on't.'
"'I'm his cousin. I camo down
last train. He left his watch at home,'
says Peter.
"And nobody paid any atteution,
and they took him to the station and
searched him, and there was the
Squire's watch in his pocket.
"'I fetched it to him,' says poor
Cousin Peter. 'His wife asked mo to.
I'm, his' own relation, Peter Elimer.
Look at me, Squire.'
" 'Peter Kilmer's got long hair and
a most amazin' beard, you rascal,' Bays
the Squire, 'and wheu I left Spotts
ville he was abed yet, his folks said.'.
"So they locked Peter up for high
way robbery, and detaiued the Squiro
to appear against him; and about
uiue that night, when the last train
arriv and went on aud didn't fetch
him, me and Cousin Peter's wife sot
cryin' in our kitcheu, makin' up our
minds wo was both widders.
"The only wonder is Petor isn't
serving a term in State prison now,
for his own wifo couldn't swear to
him when she saw him until he show
ed hor a daguerr'otypo of both of 'em,
hooking arms, that they had taken in
their courting days for a locket ho
woro; aud it took tho wholo family,
and tbe dominie, and Lawyer cfross,
and lots of money, to get him off; and
then Peter wanted to sue tho Squire
for false arrest and imprisonment.
"It was a dreadful time, and there
was a coolness in the family for years,
but good ariz from evil, an tho dom

When General Garfield wuh on his
way to Washington to bo inaugurated
as President of the United States,
John 11 , a well known public.
mau from Ashtabula, boarded the
train. Ilo had been one of Garfield's
pupils when the latter (aught school
in a little log school house in the
Ijiirk woods. As the teacher hoarded
wilh Mr. II 's. mother, they hud
been uioro intimate than is usual
with master and pupil.
Many significant stories were told
when they met which illustrated the
hnrd struggles ol the future I 'resi
dent iu his youth. One whs that, ou
some occasion he was invited to a
country parly, but on tho very day it
was to take place he split at the knee
one leg ot his Ii-owkith. lie hsd hut
one pair of very course jeans, and no
money lo buy another. Garlield had
set his heart ou going lo the merry
making, and was bitterly disap
pointed. "You go to bed," said the hostess,
"aud let me see what I can do for
you."
Tbe teacher obeyed, aud in an hour
received his trowsers so neatly
darned that it was impossible to find
where they bad been broken. He
thanked her so earnestly, that the
good woman cried out :
"Never mind, Mr. Garfield! when
you are a great man iu the Ohio
Legislature, nobody will ask how
many pair of trowecrs you had when
you taught up here iu the Keserve."
This little incident recalls a story
told of our other martyred President.
In 1330 a traveling peddler came one
eveuitig to a cabin in Illinois, and
asked the farmer's wife if he could
stay at the houso all night.
"We can feed your beast," was the
answer, "but we cannot lodge you,
unless you are willing to sleep with
the hired man."
"Lets have a look at him lirst,"
said the peddler.

bouse, where a lank, hix-foot man iu

The Drift ol the Miteat Vote.
There has beeu iu Maine no trans
fer of republican ballots to the dem
ocratic side. Ou the other hand,
there has been an extraordinary re
publican gaiu at the expense of the
democracy. The drift of the silent
vote, about which we hear so much,
has not been from tbe republican
candidate to the democratic. The
movement is altogether away from
Cleveland and toward Blaine. It is a
very striking fact. JVewj York Sun,

"THE WATCHMAN'S" VOICE.

to Defeat.
Mr. F. M. MacDonagh, editor of the
Nebraska Watchman, published iu
this city, has "como out" in favor of
Blaine and Logan. Mr. MacDonagh
has, as a general matter, been inde
pendent in his support of political
candidatos. Ho has not been at the
back of any political party but has
supported and denounced official
aspirants as, in his estimation, they
justified the ono aud moritod the oth
er. As a consequence, very frequent
ly his has been an electic ticket and
many of thoso whom ho has support
ed, have also found favor with tho
people. "Littlo Mac," as the editor,
is ono of tho oldest and most widely
known journalists in this state. His
support of Blaine will therefore be
extensively heralded throughout the
state. "Little Mac" is also an Irish
man, and his support of Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Logan will therefore strong
ly appeal to his countrymen in Ne
braska. WE'RE FOR BLAINE.
We have waited many weeks floun
dering among charges and counter
charges of tbe presidential candidates,
in search of evidence and facts, and
here is our conclusion :
The charges against Blaine have
been satisfactorily explaiued and
proven cither false, misconstrued or
distorted ; while tho charges against
Cleveland aro unauswered and unan
swerable, and he stands boforo us a
decidedly unfit candidate for tho
presidency. Descended from a race
of bigots, bo has shown himself a con
temptible, narrow-minded bigot in
lobbying tbe "freodom of worship"
bill to its dofcat in tbe democratic
assembly after it passed tho republi
can senate.
Know-nothing Bragg of Wisconsin,
"thanked God and loved Cleveland
for the enemies be bad made," viz.,
the Irish Americans, aud, as he said,
"tbe Irish can go to hell, the demo
cratic parly cau get along without
I hem." May-bo it can. We'll see.
Now, we aver that Irish Americans
detest Clevelaud for tho friends he has
made; tho British government send
ing money for his election, tho Eng
lish newspapers at home aud abroad,
and such papers as tho New York
Times, owned and controlled by Eng
lish opinion ; Harper's Pictorial Pole
cat, that always pictured an Irishman
liko Darwin's grandfather, the baboon.
Clevelaud will not carry Ohio. He
will not carry New York. He will
scarcely carry a northern slate and
not all of the southern. Blaine will.
The longer tho campaign lasts, the
weaker grows Cleveland, the stronger
grows Blaine. We have the docu
ments to buck up our convictions. We
are for lllaine.- Omaha Jtcjml'lican.
How .lluay know'
In these days of campaign vituper
ation and-ljing, and these democratic
allnnpts to construct mountains out
ot inole-hilis, let men of sense stop
and think! Read the whole Fisher
& Mulligan series of letters and then
ask yourself what is there iu them ?
Mr. IMaino is nobly vindicated by
their publication ! How many know
1. That the Little Uock and Fori
Smith Railroad bill passed both
Houses of Congress unanimously.
2. That Mr. Blaine's ruling on it
was right and just and could not have
been withheld in honor.
'A. That wheu it was made ho did
not have the acquaintance of a single
person interested in the road or in
strumental in promoting the passage
of the bill.
4. That ho alluded to his connec
tion with the bill after his interest in
the road had been obtained.
5. That the bill was a declaratory
statute merely, not granting lands
nor reviving a dormant or lapsed
grant, and conferring no original nor
substantial rights nor benefits.
0. That the investment was a
losing one.
7. That Mr. Blaine honorably
shouldered all the loss and restored
to his friends every cent they had
invested in the bonds ou his repre
sentations. 8. That in the letters addressed to
Fisher he said he had done the friends
of the bill "a service without know
ing it."
'J. That instead of obtaining a
favor through the managers of tbe
road he suffered a severe pecuniary
loss.
10. That his ruling as Speaker was
in no sense caused by his interest in
the road, but was fix months ante
cedent to his obtaining a share in it.
11. That he did uot rule iu favor
of the hill (which passed both Houses
unanimously) because he wa inter
ested iu the road, but became inter
ested in the road because his atten
tion was directed to it during the
passage of the bill through Congress.
12. That the land-grant was
simply restored to the State of Ar
kansas, which conferred it upon tbe
road.
Yi. That the justice of tbe bill
continuing tbe grant and the right
fulness of Mr. BlaineV. ruling in
point ot law have not been disputed
from that day to this, and cannot be.

inherent abiding lovo for fair play

FOREIGN-BORN CITIZENS.
Itegaa Repliea to Headrieka Falla

Mr. Logan, in a spocch delivered by
him at Toledo, Ohio, replying to some
of the falso statements of Mr. Hen
dricks, referred as follows to the
action of thctwo parties in tho rights
of citizens of former birth when
abroad :
Mr. Hondricks last night, if ho is
correctly roportcd in tho nowspapors,
Btated to his audienco that tho Repub
lican party had boon derelict in its
duty toward foreigners in this land,
who had boon pormittod to suffer, be
cause of the failure on tho part of tho
Republican party to porform their
duty. Now, I am sorry that Mr. Hen
dricks made that statement. For
forty years ago, as ia well-known by
every reader of political history iu
this country, and I speak of that timo,
because of the fact that tho Democrat
ic party controlled tho Government
nearly all that timo, foreign Govern
ments, led by England announced tho
doctrine that "once a citizen always a
citizeu"; that the doctrine of self ox
patriatiou was not a correct doctriuo ;
that a citizen did not thereby sever his
allegiance from tho mother country ;
aud if he returned to his native land
they bad control over him as a citizen
of their owu Government. While tho
Democratic party stood in control of
this country let ray fricud Hendricks
point out one singlo statuto that was
enacted by tho Democratic party de
claring that the citizon of tho United
States should bo protected, whether
ho was a uativo or foreign boru citi
zen, when ho passed back to bis uativo
country. Now, I toll you, to-night,
that it was left for the Republican
party, iu 1SGS, to pass a law declaring
that a citizen of this country, foreign
boru, should bo protected ou his own
mother soil, in porson and property,
the same as if ho were a native born
citizen, and never was that doctrino
enunciated in a statuto of this country
by the Democratic party. Nor was it
ever done until, as I said, the Repub
lican party announced the doctrine,
and it was because of the fact that
persons of foreign birth, who had
taken the oath of allegiauco to this
country returned to their former
homes and were impressed into tho
army. Now, then, why should Gov
ernor Hendricks say that the Repub
lican parly had failed to perform ila
duty toward foreign born citizens? 1
am sorry to hear a mau running for
the high office that be is, inako such a
statement, when he must know that
he can ho contradicted by overy stat
ute on the books, and that the Repub
lican party performed an act that he
claimed never was performed by
llieui.

Hondricks has said so much about
"overhauling the books" that the de
partments at the scat of government
began to feel a little uneasy and have
beeu taking a look through uome ol
the old accounts. The news waa re
ceived iu Indiana the other day that
they had just commenced turning
over the leavos of Tommy's records
when he was commissioner of lauds.
The fright and indignation was very
great in democratic circles and the
leading organs of" the party do not
hesitate to say that it is an insult and
outrage to go as far back as that.

their own convention in the nomina
