" DEMOCRATIC GRATITUDE.--A few
years since the life and soul Of almost every gather
ing Of the faithful a, Tammany, = clever young
man by the name Of Edgar Welsh. Gifted with tia,
peculiar lmproyisatonal talent which made HIM
an impromptu versiher and singer, Edgar was
always on hand with some OF his sparkling witt
cisms to d1spel the duness of the very Logical
and very stupid speeches Of the Cases and Cam
brellngs of hunkerdom, and many a round Of
hearty applause told how well lis shafts were
aimed. No man was more Jealous, no one more

Edgar who think that his bones are deserving of
