The polls Is opened at Bascom's, the caucuses Is

that portion Nv EN- we're rs certin to git ef

us for the sufiishent reeson that tina hev no
where else to 70 to find congenyel associations.
Whether these fellows armed with the ballot kin
contaminate cnuf NV the others to give us the
majority, Is the great moral question. At all
events en- the thing is bound to 90 throo, l be-

the incapassity to take over three drinks per IF

that the rivits is wcaknin. and that ere long It
must bust.
After that wat do care who roofs Kentucky

And the Dimocrisy, CT they arc wise, win hold
themselves in equil roadinis to drop on either
side. In New York city for eggsample, ef the
niger thieves an suckers will only vote er the
white thieves and suckers do, the carryin NV
the state will allus be shoor thing. The only
question is kin they be kept In this coudishen!
Here Is where doubt comes in, and beclouds an
otherwise fair pickter. Kin John Morrissy con-
troll the niger In his distrik, ez he does the
Irish, an by the same means How long viii 1t
