polls wanted to vote particular who for, If he
only had the biegest flags and the most bulies; was
little puzzled after all how TO do it; had read all the
political print. to find out the best man. but in udg
ing from what the newspapers say rning the DIFF
ferent candidates the various factions in thus city en-
terrain peculiar ideas about the requisites necessary to
qualify man TO gil public station. Not An ndivid-
ual lie ever nominated for any office who Ia not eulo
gized by some Of the public journals, as drunkard,
liar swindler ncendiary, Assassin or pubic roober.
Assuming from the wonderful unsnimity of the papers
on this subject that these amsble qualities constitute
the fitness Of the nominees for places ct honor trust or
profit I have endeavored to anslyze the gradstions
Of criminal merit, and discover exactly how big
rascal a nan must be to qualify him for any given Of
fee The result Of my investigations Is as follows:
No one is eligible to the office Of Mayor of the City
unless he has forged draft and got the money on
il; and on at least two separate ccca.ons, set IRE to
his bouse TO get the insurance. Candidates for Al
dermen qualify themselves by carrying revolver,
getting besstly drunk and stabbiog policeman or
two before they get sober. A Common Councilman
must drink with the Short Boys, give prizes to the
fremen's target excursions carry slungshot IN his
nocket and have personal interest in Peter Funk
auction. shop. Police Justice must gamble little,
cheat considerable lie good deal, and &c. drunk
clear through every Saturday night if he can
READ easy vorcs and write his name, Il is, generally,
no ssr;ons objection; but the Know. No,bings will not
hermit even his on the plea that the science Of let
Ter. is of foreign origin. who can pick

pirants 10 minor Offices are classified )rding to
ds,eIt. but mo- one who has not at least, committed
petit larceny, is allowed a place on any regular
ticket. As to Offices Of more importance, l should
say from what can no " nudge that no man eau
be elected Governor of the State unless he guilty of
