SKTTLEI AT LAST.
Although it was known to a mor
nl cwtr.inty all over the country on
lNuv(iiil).jr Gth that Cleveland had
U'fii triumphantly elected President,
yot, in obedience to a telegram from
Blaine, the trickster, to the National
Committee, to "claim everything for
a few days," suspense followed for
awhile which was annoying to
Democrats and Republicans alike.
But the final canvass has now been
rando which settles all. It shows
Cleveland to have been elected and
the Republican press is forced to
concede the point It was more than
suspected in New York State during
the several days the Republican
claim was kept up that Blaine would
finally be shown to have carried New
York, that a bold stroke had been de
cided upon to reverse the "figures by
force and fraud and bribery; but the
temper of tho people manifested it
self during these days in many em
phatic ways, and showed the manip
ulators that they would tread upon
i xtrpmely dangerous ground in any
'attempt to debauch the returns as
they had decided to do, when the
Kchemo ,was abandoned.
COME AND GONE.
Hon. J. M. Siglin paid Denmark a
professional visit last week, stopping
over a couple of days and returning
td the Bay Thursday." Mr. S. has
hosts of friends in Curry county,
who aro always glad to have him
among them. This fact was suffi
ciently illustrated last June when, in
the face of a Republican majority of
forty votes, he carried the county by
siitv. maioritv. As a lawyer he
. stands pre-eminent in Southern Ore
gon; as a joker, everyone yields the
palm -to "Sig."

that up to that time no sign of frost
had assailed our ranch, and we reckon
that was what brought it, for we have
had to witness two. very chilly morn
ings down thero since then.
Judge G. VY. Cooley passed through
Denmark last week, going north.
From his hurried movements we in
ferred that he was endeavoring to
: reach Marshfield in time to attend to
tho Democratic jubilee over Cleve
land's election.
"We tried to bet a horse, a band of
sheep or all the money we had, on
the election, and failed to find tho
right mam All the loot wo got away
with in the scramble was one solitary
35 suit or clothes; and we had to
give odds for that bet.
Jim "Wilson scooped in the scads.

on the result of the election. "What

would, in turn, have skinned the
Jdail man.

fact that so very few Blaine hats
were sold during the campaign. The
manufacturer who went in for a bo
nanza and lost, now explains. Ho
says too few of them were made of
sizes ranging from 5$ to 6$ inches.
Our placid friend at Ellensburg sent
to San Francisco for a 5 Blaine

was to return with one Gl. Bentj on
a Blaine hat our cordial friend afore
said bought a lot of rope and pro
ceeded to coil the same under the
sweat-hand. Donning "it he went
forth, but his acquaintances recoiled
from contact with him. They, took

With but one of his kindred near.
Dear to us is the spot where he sleeps,
And, sweet the strains that Angels pour;
O, why should we in anguish weep?
Thou art not lost, but gone before.
Shed not for him the bitter tear, .
Nor give- the heart the vain regret;
'Tis but the casket that holds him there,
The gem that filled it sparkles yet.
