-LIFE- all the rest. The enthusiasm was intense. The train thun- Wiey = = ——————— dered into the dépot amid the wild plaudits of the “whole yy ) : . population,” as Mr. Depew delicately termed the three hun- yee ee cee dred men, five women and two dogs present. Mr. Blaine, HIRGS 5C1S§ having been introduced, spoke somewhat as follows : CITIZENS OF YONKERS: lam honored by your kind reception. It is, as you all know, purely a matter of favoritism as to who gets the Presi- dency of the United States. I can fully appreciate, fellow | citizens, the various channels in which it is possible for you | to be useful to me. I hope that next November you will all | cast a few anchors to the windward in my behalf. Give my | kind regards to all your wives, and believe that though cre- | mation may overtake the body of him who stands before you, the large, luminous letters writ deep on my memory, describing the pleasures of this hour, shall always be labeled : “Do Not Burn These Letters, James G, BLAINE.” The band then played the Mulligan Guard March, and Mr. Depew passed around the hat, as the train left the | dépot amid the cheers of the Blaine men in the crowd, the smiles of the Cleveland men, and the yelps of the two dogs.

Ah, me, but these partings are sad beyond reason ! Do n't laugh—it isn’t a tear.” (I'm hanged if I come to this place next season— I've had a close shave this year.) —Puck, Taking this reception as a fair sample of all the rest Mr, Blaine should not be begrudged the comfort which he must receive from reading the New York 7rzbune. “ Don't lie much on the left side,” says the writer. No, if you must lie do it on the winning side.—Burlington Free Press.
