THE CARPET-BAG.

"
N One of the cleverest carlcatures of the
u campaign represents Grant as the "Great
! american Tanner At his left hand ap-
v 1proach Robert E. Lee, Pemberton and Buck
3 nner, who present the following testimonial:
y nThis is to certify that we have had our
ID hides tanned By q. S. Grant, and that the
!. Y work was by him most thoroughly done"

i nany, Hoffman, presents Seymour and
n blair, with:
y Here, General, are couple of hides to
q e tanned. When will they be done ?h

tNrplies:

Il The artist, by the way is Mr.. Thomas
"A worth, well known in New York as the pay
4 BIZ teller of the Bank of New York. The
u kenesses are ludicrously perfect.
u Some months ago Mr.. Worth, by order of
v u be cashier of the bank, paid check signed
'ssTUornelius Vanderbilt for 1000, which
ii ss afterwards discovered to be forgery.
=ff course, there was trouble in the bank.
M Worth Immediately sat down and drew
'NRIencil sketch of the person who presented
Ee check, and whom he had never seen but
N Nice. The drawing was placed 10 the hands
n the detective police, and in few weeks
e forger was arrested in o railroad car in
illinois, and large portion of the money
Recovered.
u Here is confession wrung by the ''pow-
H. Of mud" from reluctant witness;
The condition of our streets is quite as
fad now as it was under the rule of that
elish scalawag, Baker, and We fear that the
slkost of keeping them in that condition is
little ii at all lessened by the change of
hen. If we are to be cursed with inetfi-
Ilency in the management of our municipal

hls still in power. From them the taXPay

Alas for that Elysium which we were to

Generated Carpet-Bag, how can you be
D cruel as to cody assert:
p It's funny TO observe the general appre- |
nson which exists regarding the issue of |
demonstration next Saturday night
Friend Carpet Bag, IL would take more |
Ian philosopher to conceive fun in |
ry that does not profess to be funny. |
be democrats, on the contrary, are known |
be fond Of fun. The Republicans are |
N pre noted for progress than fun, and they |
~ lupose to move forward next Saturday |
ut in the majesty of their numbers, unat-
+, nded by glittering gewgaws or gorgeous
-Nihe Democrats, very uncharitably, eye the |
= bvement with good deal of jealousy, and |
Ntterings have been heard to the effect |
It they feel inclined to have some fun on
u occasion. ALI Republicans would Sc.
Hasly regret to have their peace demon
hhon turned into vulgar sport, and they |
made footballs for turbulent Democ-
~ to sportively kick around town. This
Eht be fun for the Democrats, but 1t
Tald be anything else but fun for the Re-
blicans, who are not of wanton nature. /
'u7 ~ are "meek and lowly,1 and have no
sHk ire to hurt anybody even in fun.
Ne the sainted JEFF, they desire ito be let |
1uN ne,r and if the Democrats will only con-
@tcend to let them alone next Saturday
pyshk they will have an opportunity
seeing a demonstration every way
lthy Of the occasion; aud if they
not let alone to pursue the even tenor
sheir way, let the fault rest with the
kiy whose penchant for fun would lead
'ol hi 10 incite demonstration different
km that intended by the Republicans.
BE Republican demonstration on Saturday |
'''1 but d intended as peace offering, and it |
III be made in no offensive spirit. So, |
vp4 ssrs Democrats, do let us slone-please
and we will pledge ourselves to use our
host oxertions to convert you to the true
