@ Fernando Wood will no doubt be re-
elected Mayor of New York City, as We notice
his opponents are moving earth and hell to prove
him horse-thief, a blackguard and an assassin,
which kind of talk, though it be all true, as it
doubtless is in this case, is just what always
makes a big-gun of squib, and President Of
one-horse lawyer. Moral: If you discover that
candidate Is q villain, don't tell anybody of it
if you do, sympathy will throw in q handful Of
lschrymose votes for him, and he'll be elected as
surely as the polls close. II you would defeat
him, keep shady.
