DIVIDING THE sPOILs
Judging fran our Vallejo correspondence there must
have quite rich time at that embryo city yes
terday. Inc Presidential electors there Tor the
purpose OF going through the form Of voting for President
and the patriotic gentlemen who desire the
iry-snd themselvesihinkiDg il good idea to have
the assistance Of the electors ocked to The Capitol
swans, esch enc with petition In his pocket praying
for office ard setting forth in glowing color his
uaerdinary times for the place These pstions the
electors called upon to sign and TO be forwarded
TO Washington Of course Every federal Office In Caltor
MIA high low and medium was subject Of petition.
This il all right enough upon the principle tha the
yctors belong the spols But it would look less greedy
and rational for the rctors to be they
spells before they divide them. IL it turns cut the
'ipiitsm correct about the Presidential election,
these patriotic petitioners like Fslsta and his
will end ttemoiyes set upon by the in buckrsm and
the spcis taken away
