JEROME B. CHAFFEE.

The ex-Senator of Colorado Speaks Entertainingly Upon Current Topics. A New York correspondent, writing to The Cincinnati Enquirer, says: Ex-senator Jerome B. Chaffee, of Colorado, chairman of the republican national executive committee, arived here Thursday, de astonished the natives py his talk on current politics, To begin with, he is dead against Blain for 1888. “Because I made a fool of myself once is no sign I will again,” he said to me to-night. “But it is pretty good evidence of what Blain would do. If he had let the writiing of letters alone and had taken up a stuffed club whenever that dude from New Jersey came around him he might have pulled through. But he wrote a new letter every day. and the statements in them were proved*to be false within fortyeight hours as a rule, and then to cap the whole tking he wrote his ‘Dear Phelps’ letter. No wonder he couldn’t pull throuh. Why, I went over into New Jersey a few days after the election and found that it had been generally understood in that state that if elected Blain would made William Walter Phelps his secretary of state. The worst of it was that it was true, I guess. Th country had a narrow escape. They may say what thy like about Cleveland, but he is doing better than that.

“What do you think of Cleveland’s message, senator?” ‘Well, on the whole it is’a pretty good message, I don’t agree with his civil-service nonsense; nither do I agree with his | silver views. They talk all the time about the coinage of silver driving out gold from the country; yet since we resumed its coinage there has been an annuaj flow lof seventy millions of gold into the country. That does not look as if silver was driving out gold. I want to see them retire the greenbacks and replace them with silver certificates. There is $346,000,000 of greenbacks outstanding. They were a forced loan on the people without interest. They are payable at any time in any coin. The howl of moneyed men is that they are fiat money. The silver certificates would be worth then at least eighty cents on the dollar more than these greenback dollars, and the country would be that much better off. There will be nothing done in congress this winter on the silver question. The silve. men are too strong.”

“What about the future of your party?” “It hasn’t got any the way things are running now. It has no position on which to stand. It is wrong on this civil service question, and yet the mon in position are afraid to declare so. The reformers are the most venal men in public life. They are all for sale or for office. They go stepping along as old Eaton does, like a bull in a corn-field. They are innocent-looking enough, but not any more to be trusted than that same bull. The party has got itself planted on this equal represent ition question, and fight it out on that line. But there comes in a difficulty. Every time any one gets up to '"omand that there shall be a full vote and a fair count in the south, or taat if the votes are not counted at the polls the representation shall be taken away, some long-haired reformer yells bloodyshirt,’ and our fellows -re afraid to say any more. We have got to get back our old courage of conviction and go to work as if we meant business, or else give the whole thing over to the democrats, aud let them run it to the dogs. “I told Teller and Bowen that they ought to say to these New England cranks in congress: — “When the silver and other questions come up, gentlemen, you must come into a caucus with the republicans, understanding that we shall abide the caucus decision, or we will turn this into a democ t atic senate at once. ’ That would bring things to a crisis. Those fellows want things their own way, without letting any one else have any consideration. I would fetch them to time in short order —Edmunds and all of them. I think that Teller has the backbone to make the fur fly if the eastern men refuse to go into caucus, but if three or four republicans stand together on that proposition we will soon have some kind of party head.”

Stuart Mac.

A horse may take a premium in any class at a Fair, and yet be a very inferior animal; or he may win a race and still lack a good deal of being a race-horse —his success may result from inferior competitors, or incompetent judges. But if he repeats the experiment, of racing, his owner will most likely learn to his cost that he had overrated his horse, and if he should continue to exhibit at fairs, the same fate will most certainly overtake him, for while it cannot be denied that incompetent men are frequently selected as judges of stock, we must concede that exceptions are in the majority, and whenever the inferior animal strikes a committee of experience and judgment, his experience as a prize winner is effectually checked. True, many horses of superior merit have been frequently beaten in the fair ring by animals in no particular their equal—sometimes through the stupidity and at other times through partiality of the judges, but such instances are exceptions rather than a rule.

But when we strike a light-har-ness horse that has been shown at county, district and State Fairs every season from a three-year-old to a seven-year-old, without failing in a single instance to win first premium, we must unhesitatingly pronounce him very nearly perfection. And such is the true history of Stewart Me., a chestnut stallion bred and owned by J. H. McCollum, Monticello, Ini At two years old he was broke to harness by James Hazleton, who has handled him ever since. At three yrs. old he was shown in light harness at the Knightstown, N blesville, Anderson, Kokomo, Logansport and State Fair, and captured first premium in every instance. W v en four years old he was shown at the same fairs, with Peru added, again winning at every point. At five he show d at all the above, and was again successful. This year, in his six-year-old form, he again took in all the above, and added Rushville and Newcastle, winning first again,

and at th? Indiana State Fair taking first, in light harness, and sweepstakes, which is for best stab lion any age or class. But his claims to superiority are not based alone upon his victories in the show ring. Last fall at Peru, Ind., he won the 2:40 trot, in 2:37, though it appears no official time was given, and in his first rac } this season, which was at Middletown, Ind., he won first money, making one heat in 2:28, and the other two each in 2:29. Next won first at Noblesville, was third at Anderson, first at Xenia and first at Newcastle. Steward Me is near perfection in form and style, and his gait is the admiration of all who ever saw him move; and though Blue Bulls generally carry a good deal of weight he carries a 12-ounce shoe and carries no toe-weight. That he wonld make a first-class racehorse is beyond a reasonable doubt, but Mr. McCollum is averse to campaigning horses, and Me will at once be retired to the stu»!, where he can hardly fail to prove a grand success. As stated above, Steward Me was bred and raised by his present owner, J. H. McCollum, of MonticelF, Ind. Foaled 1879; sired by Wils n’s Blue Bull; dam Fanny by Nightshade (he by Falcon, son of Lexingtonf; 2d dam Dolly by Red Oak, sop of Cadmus. The extraordinary success of this horse will be accounted for in a thorough examination of his pedigree.— Western Sportsman and Live Stock News.

“We Can All Swim.”

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer: Senator Voorhees had a long chat with the President on Friday, with referen'e to the silver question.— The President sen. for the Senator to discuss the subject. He was an attentive listener. The Senator was frank in his expressions, and manfudy told Mr. Cleveland why he could not support his recommendation for the discontinuance of silver coinage. Said the Senator: “Mr. President, I represent a State containing an area of over thirty thousand square miles, which will produce as much, if not more, acre for acre, than any State in tyhe Union. It has an intelligent population, engaged in manufactures, commerce, banking and agriculture. I flatter myself that I am well known in the State, and that I know its reople. I have yet to hear from any quarter a hint or suggestion in favor of again demonetizing silver. I have not received a single letter favoring the suspension of coinage. On the other hand, when the bill to remonetize silver was pending before Congress my mail in favor of the bill was so large that it would have required a wheelbarrow to take it to the Capitol. The sentiment of the people in my State is in favor of the silver dollar, and I would grossly misrepresent them were I to vote to interfere with the law as it is.”

The f resident, while admitting the strength of the Senator’s claim as reflecting the voice of the people of Indiana, then made some hypothetical reflectiohs as to what may be if the law is not repealed. “Now, suppose—” said the President. “I know what you are going to say, Mr. President, “said the Senator, “and thus anticipating you let me illustrate it by an anecdote: One bright, sunshiny day three boys sat on the bridge crossing a stream fishing for trout When intensely interested in their sport a village priest passed by. ‘Boys,’ said he, “you ought to be ashamed of yonrselyes, violating the Lord’s day in fishing. Suppose you sho’d fall in and be drowned, where do you think you would go?’ ‘We ain’t going to fall in,’ said the most precocious. ‘But,’ continued the pr ; est, ‘suppose you should fall in.’ ‘But, 1 tell you,’ replied the boy, ‘we ain’t going to fall in.’ ’But, suppose you did/ continued the priest, ‘where do you think you

would go;’ ‘I tell you,’ said the youngster, ‘we ain’t going to fall in, and even if we did we can swim.’ Now, Mr. President, it would be useless for me to attempt to convince my people of any supposed dangers liable to come because of the present silver law as it was for the priest to alarm the boys on the bridge. They will wait until the ‘supposed’ comes, and then they can swim.’ The President enjoyed the illustration hugely.
