Incidents of Elections.

Among the many funny things of the
election of the Sd inst, we noticed a
written ticket which not only bears
marks of genius but awfully black re-
publican principles. The man who
bore it must have taken lessons of Wen
dell Phillips. 1t read thus:

president and vice president of the L. S
\.
Paul Dillingham;,
Horace Fairbanks,
ii. b. Gushing,
L. +. Brown,
A. b. Billiard"
Another ticket bearing the names of
Grant and Colfax was endorsed as fol-
lows: Fearing Seymour, if elected,
would be controlled by southern rebels,
and believing Grant will firmly MAIN
tain democratic principles, and not be
controlled by such radicals as Butler,
Sumner & Co., consider it my duty to
vote this ticket.

generally favorable to the result of the

'.BRING ON YOUR VEAL~"-Lieut.-
Governor Thomas delivered rousing
campaign speech in the town of Barnard,
Democratic stronghold hitherto and in
the course Of it he turned to good account
the parable of the ''prodigal son." which
the other side have been using SO extern
slvely to illustrate the return of the
South to the Union:
He insisted that there was no parallel
between the prodigal sons departure and
return, and that of the States that went
into rebellion. He did not run away,
neither did he steal anything when he
/ left. He was of age and had right to
go-hc asked for his portion OF the estate,
and said he would 80 and seek his fortune,
leaving the other boy at home to look

portion, went away, fell into bad COM

party, spent all his substance in riotous
living" and becoming very hungry from
/ his reduced circumstances, returned home
in an humble and contrite condition,
acknowledging he had made mistake,
and asking the least possible tavors at
| the paternal board.
The feast that followed. and the
reloicings were all very natural under the
circumstances, Tor no great crime had
been committed. The South stole every
thing it could lay It's hands on, and when
compelled to return by necessity more
exacting than overlook the prodigal son.
it came back rs arrogant and proud as
when it left. With bravado, and a
buster, it made itself heard, if not '.secn

which could be equalled only by Viz

We doubt whether the applause that
followed this graphic rendering of the
'prodlgal SON parable, has yet died away
among the hills of Barnard. The speak
