“The Campaign.”
I think the campaign haw opened.
I am no politician myself, but I
think so because a drunken man
fan against me last night, and veil
ed:
“’Rah for Thompson!”
And ho had scarcely staggered
out of sight when another intoxica
ted individual came running
around the corner and hoarsely in
quired:
“Where’s the reptile that called
our candidate a horse-thief?”
Later in the evening several men
halted m front of ray house and
they thus addressed me as I slum
bered:
“Come down, here, you old gray
lieaded heathen, and give us money
to buy powder!”
I didn’t go down, and they un
hinged and carried off my gate,
and broke down two of my shade
trees.
As I said at the start, I don’t keep
myself posted on politics, but I am
convinced that the campaign has
opened; this is the way, if I remem
ber rightly, that all the campaigns
have been opened for the last fifteen
years.
This morning, while I was selec
ting a roast at the butcher’s, a man
with rod eyes and wicked face came
up, slapped me on the back, and as
he twisted around, so as to givo mo
the full force of his tan-yard breath
he remarked:
“Gimme yer hand—less holler
for Johnson !”
He seized my hand and shook me
around, and continued:
“I kin lick any human being who
says a word agin Johnson.”
“Who’s Johnson?” Tasked, for
reajly I did not remember of ever
hearing or reading of him.
Who’s Johnson!” he exclaimed
gazing at me in astonishment and
indignation; wliy lie’s lived in your
own ward for ten years!”
“I never met him.”
“Never did ’? Why, lie keeps the
biggest and the best saloon in the
ward!”
“Ah!”
He looked at mo for a moment
in a puzzled way, not understand
ing what “ah!” meant, and then
he pulled oil hi'-, coat and exclaim
ed:
“See here, maybe you are going
to cut Johnson and vote for Spi
cer ?”
“Maybe I am.”
“You are, eh?” he yelled. Yon
arc going to cut Johnson and vote
foo that long-haired Spice.
A policeman took the man away
just as ho was pro paringto demon
state the freedom of the American
ballot-box, and I got my roast and
went into the grocery. Old Mr.
Lovejoy and-old Mr. Arnold hap
poned in at the same time. I kneiv
that they differed iu politics, but
also knew that both were good men,
and had been friends for twenty
years.
Bully for your tin-pan.
“Going to boa hot campaign, I
guess,” remarked Mr. Arnold, as
he hunted for a match to light his
pipe.
“Oh, I dunno,” replied Mr. Love
joy. “I think we’ll scoop you
high and dry without much of an
effort,”
“You will, eh? I’ll wager that
you are the sickest looking man
in the country before the snow
flies.”
“Guess not,” said Mr. Lovejoy
in a nettled tone;” “the people are
tired of being robbed and plunder
ed and burdened and roasted at
the stake, as it were, and they are
rising in their might to hurl the v.il
lanous party from power.”
“Wnat party do you refer to, sir?”
demanded Mr. Arnold.
“You, sir.” replied Mr. Lovejoy.
“Then, sir, you are a dotard and
a liar!” shouted Mr, Arnold.
“And I’ll knock you down!” cried
Mr. Lovejoy; and they struck and
kicked and fell over a barrel, and
were separated only to avow eternal
enmity.
From now until the campaign is ;
over I shall see such sights every j
day. As I come up home men will,
demand money of me to drink the
health of this or that candiate; men
will seize me and rush me into sa
loon, ami oblige me to swallow some
villainous drink to show that I fa
vor their candidate; men will throw
brickbats at me if I come up a back
street to avoid them. If I ride on
a street car I shall hear men abuse
and malign every candidate on my
party ticket; if 1 ride in the omni
bus J shall hear men relate villain
ous lies about every candidate on
the other ticket.
T chance ;an that me butcher
i , ."fv and tailor will fall out
with id” ,! -• 1 •■'■fuse to hurrah
$2.50 A YEAH.
! for their candidates, or because I
: can’t see that Saunders is a liar,
hypocrite, horse-theif, burglar and
jail breaker, while Morton has to
wear an overcoat to hide his angelic
wings.
During the day I shall hear all
these things down town, and when
I come home to rest, and just as I
am enjoying my first nap, someone
will ring my bell and want to know
if I am on this or that ward or city
committee. In less than half an
hour someone voting the other
ticket will heave a rock against the
door from across the street to re :
mind me of the error of my ways.
At midnight parties will come along
and hurrah for sorao one, and at
daylight the man who has been
“laying wires” all night will wink
at me as he goes along home. If I
take any part in this campaign I
must fold tickets and lay plans on
Sundays, remain up the most of
every night, drink with every man
who asks me, treat every loafer en
countered, lie about men whose
characters are above reproach, and
praise men who are not lit to asso
ciate with heathens. I sometimes
think I won’t have anything to do
with politics.— M. Quad.
Ralston’s Mode of Life.
The domestic establishment of
this Prince of Bank Presidents was
composed of every nationality. For
eignere from all countries were
guests, and if they could not speak
English, they found servants who
could understrnd them. For a
Frenchman there would be a French
servant standing behind his chan
at thelable; for a Chinaman, u Ja
pause; Germans, servants “of their
nationality. The bank allows Pal
ston twenty-five thousand dollars a
year wherewith to entertain the
guests of the bank in addition to
his fifty t hot sand dollar salary.
His expenses, in entertaining br
anny of guests could hardly have
been less than five or six hundred
dollars a day. At breakfast,
my first visit, there were only k ts
four who sat down. Ralston said
he didn’t know what was the matter
with his friends that (hey had desert
ed him. He didn’t fed comfortable
unless there were one hundred.
The breakfast was a bewildering va
riety of courses, with wine of every
kind pressed from the grape. The
dinner was the same, only more so.
To give you an idea of one item of
expense, I satisfied that there were
not less than three hundred dollars’
worth of cigars smoked that day,
for they were all of the choicest and
most expensive brands. The ser
vants were all dressed in black and
white vests. The only female ser
vant on the premises was Mrs. Ral
ston’s maid. The house was filled
with pictures and other objects of
art. One imm mouse room on the
ground floor was called the music
room. It might have been termed
a museum of music, as it contained
every known instrument devoted to
melody, The floors of the first sto
ry were beutifully inlaid with differ
ently colored woods—no carpets
except in tho chambers. The hour
for breakfast was 11 o’clock, but a
hungry mortal, taken out of a bed
at delusive sun rise, could find a va
riety of food upon a buffet always
on service, and a sideboard con
taining the materials for a modest
quencher.— Exchange.
T shown Away. —An inebriated in
dividual staggered into the city hall
yesterday and yelled out:
“Hah f’r Fou’th July!”
“Four’tli July, you dough-head!”
replied a policeman—“why, it’s Sep
tember.”
“I know liic.”
“Tko 16th day of September.”
“Course ’tis, an’ zont Fou’th July
alius comes on shixteenth day Zhep ■
tembev V”
“No, you idiot.”
“It zliont?”
“No.”
“Zhen what fool I am!” sighed
the iuebriate, “to go’ flow ’way all
zhis drunk!”
And he staggered sadly away. -
