THE REASON WHY.

After the election of 1910 number of Loco
focos were earnestly engaged discussing the rea-
sons why the Wigs had beaten them SO badly
in the preceding election. One insisted that it
was because the people were such fools that they
had all their senses taken away by the coonskin
mummeries. Another declared it was not that
SO much as the bribery Of thousands of voters by
the banks and foreigners, whilst third asserted
that the people had gone mad, and had got
drunk upon excitement and hard cider.
"What do you think it was, uncle Josh, said
the first one, turning to a little humpbacked,
gimlet eyed, frosty headed old man, who was
sitting cross-legged by the fire, furiously chew
ing his guild of tobacco, and who seemed to be
the Sir Oracle of the cotere.
You don't know anything about it," said the
gimlet eyed man, striking his stick furiously
against the floor, III ,ras them h-Ufred songs
,chat did the business. / tell you it was enough
to run anybody crazy to listen to them songs
when pretty girl was singing them" "And,
continued the old man, jumping up, and giving
his stick an emphatic thump against the dog
iron, 9" | will never vote for any man for Presi
dent whose name won't rhyme in poetry. Ifs
no wonder Mr.. Van Buren, was beat, for hi
name wouldn't rhyme to anything but ruin"
