CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The GHEAr " wAsHrD. n-Y yesterday TUESDAY
evening the front Of the City Hall was duly rugged
up with flags, transparencies, and devices sppro-
pirate to the distinguished " auspices" under
which il Was gotten up, including the stuffed buck
or stag with ten sntlers." Some dissatisfaction
was expressed by boy, that he could not see the
auspices" but was quoted by being informed
that the stays head was the veritable thing.
The booming Of the same cannon that walked
Magruder's babies (more, by the by, than it win
ever do for Mr.. Buchanan, announced that the
play was going TO begin, when 10 it appears that
~ the elements, in whose ennobling strife" no good
Democrat finds himself exalted, interposed their
auspices" which was considered by the Presi-
dent not 30 suspicious" as horsepicious, for the
crowd broke and run like quarter-borses. They
did not even wait for the SOCIOLOGY which he felt
in duty bound to give.
Like raal foreign soldiers, the men deserted
their guns the fsu-deJo;s was changed to Foy-
da-mowrryul. At command, they doused the
glims," and the old buck not having enough light
to shine his glass eyes, looked forlorn, all forlorn
Whether the stu6ing was spoiled by exposure we
dix not learn, but suppose 1t was better seasoned
than the party. Alas, poor Buck do you not see
In this an omen. You have great many fair
weather friends who will desert at the 6rst patter-
ing Of the storm that shall forever hide thee.
MyoRMATIoN WANrED.--Many of our friends
have inquired what object the Sag-Nichts had In
decorating the speakers stand at the City Hall
with stuffed buck.
Sag-Ncht at our elbow suggests that, having
Polked the Wing party in 1874, and Pierced It
In 1882, ii ID their intention to Buck the Ameri-
can party in 1855. The most reasonable and sat
isfactory explanation, however, which has yet been
given for the presence Of the stuffed buck at the
fusion meetings is that In the absence Of their can
didate, they have substituted the stuffed animal
test of fidelity for the new recruits to the for
eign party, every one OF whom, 1t has been sug-
gested, will be required, on his arrival at the place
Of meeting, to seize the horns of the defunct ami
mai, and announce to the assembled crowd his de-
termination to support the candidate whose repre-
sentative they have taken by the horns in token
OF their encerity, and that any man who falls to
comply with this reasonable and simple mandate,
win be considered an outsider, and unworthy the
confidence of the leaders OF Foreignism.
This notice may induce the Sag NIGHTS to change
the test but that some such evidence of party
fealty will be required we have not doubt.
We think that the stuffed buck is fair emblem
of the Foreign candidate for the Presidency, for it
is established and incontrovertible fact that the
leaders of that party have, since his nomination.
been stuffing for "Old Buck" with the idea that
he would be elected Such deception is unpardon.
