A VETERAN CARPET BAGGER.
In a republican procession in Gin
cinnati, the other day, was an old
man of eighty, one of the fathers of
the city, who carried an old carpet
bag with the inscription: "a Yer
mont carpet bagger-18O8." That
bag was the identical carpet bag in
which Captain Strong brought all
his worldly goods when he went to |
the then wilderness, in 1903, and
the old man who carried it was
Captain Strong himself.
New YORK QUIET.-The Tribune
of the day following the Pennsyl.
vania election contained the follow
ing:
"COuld not our Philadelphia friends
contrive to have an election every
day in the week, and every week in
the yeari We do not know how

was assaulted. Nobody had his
pockets picked. The police had
little or nothing to do. The police

should like to make permanent
loan of those interesting classes of
our population who, on yesterday,
helped to give variety if not at
Effectiveness to their election. Don't
send them back to-day, an you love
