N,ggcr In lne wood PLle.

The last dodge of the secret Leaguers
to carry the election on Monday,is through
the "wood procession" to take place to-
day. 1t 3 a very cheap advertisement of
bogus patriotism. After waiting until the
severe winter weather has passed over
after seeing soldiers wives sent to the
poor-house, without moving to relieve
them--after listening complacently to the
recital of scenes Of starvation among SOL
diers' families in Cincinnati and else

suddenly, on the ere Of an election, seized
with a spssmodic attack Of irrepressiblt
patriotism, and conceive the brilliant idea
of electing their ticket by grand display
of "charity" on a weod-wagon. Tha
trick won't win. The ebony shins Of th'
sable gentleman are too plainly visible il

occasion great hardships and much suffering.

Congress proposes to do Through the long
