we give Dennis the praise Of being a GOOD,

IN making things show of to advantage, and a

about the worst looking one we had. and
though we took the sidewalk and assumed an
air OF Indifference as though we had no interest
IN thai load OF trash, we were not to be let of

prevent his answering, at the top of his voice.

think that, if successful, they would be in the
condition Of the man who had bought an ele-
plant and had no place in which to keep his
animal, had not the wherewith to support
him, could not sell him, could not even find
any one who would take him us u gratuity.
The Leader says:
''Besidcs this, what il we should succeed
in capturing the President? After we had
taken him, what would We do with him.
Could the Democrats pass one OF his measures
through Congress? Could they sustain one Of
his vetoes? Could they give him money to
carry on the Government? Could they even
pay him his salary if the Republican majority
objected? The Republicans are strong enough
as it is; but if we should drive them into one
united party by seducine the President they
would be invincible. The people who dislike
