BOLLMEYER AS A LOVER.
Bollmeyer as lover is successful
This is right, this is all right; for there
are many sweet creatures IN this town.
But one word of caution, Bollmeyer.
Do not, to such an extent, prolong your
perambuiations on the South Side; for
it makes you look sleepy. Nor IS he
ignoble on the North Side. For whilst
his vast body fits through the dusky air
like mighty bird of love, and whilst the
temporary pallor Of exhausted passion
upon his massive countenance mingles
with the soft moon-beams, minded
ladies holding midnight devotiors at the
corners Of the streets, gurgle up from the
depths, Yea, re1itu aehat q husband he
.could make.
BoLLMEYER AS A POLITICIAN.
Bollmeyer. as politician fails, most
egregiously fails. He was green as
thunder when he clutched the quill he
did not know how to take the people.
Quite unfortunately, in his political bar
bering, he, with Iusty flourish that would
put to shame an Ethiopian expert, comb
ed their hair against the grain. Boil
meyer is Ike the unfortunate young
Phaethon, who egotistlcaly begged the
right 10 drive the fiery steeds of the sun;
the request being granted, the course of
that luminary became so irregular that
the entire milky way was set on fire, and
sparks were scattered over the rest OF the
armament. Moral: SO it is with the Plot.

| the substance of which was, the people
do not care a straw for the whims of an

| TICKETS FOR COUNTY OFFICERS.
have looked the matter all over. and
am ready to pronounce upon my critical
opinion that the Republican ticket Is
about fifty per cent better than any other
ticket before the people. classify them
thus in scientific order: LIST, Republican
ticket; ID, Democratic ticket proper
Sd, Bohemian ticket; 4th, Peoples tick
ct, CT Democratic ticket improper.
One Recommendation which the Re-
publican ticket has, is this, it is freer by
certain percentage from old party hacks.
And, surely, the farther you get from
political hackdom the nearer you get to
the interests of the people. This greater
freedom from old party hacks is prima
.facse evidence of It's quality. And,
certainly. the unanimity with which some
| particular men were nominated, speaks
we'll for them as individual candidates.
Granting that all the tickets are more or
less lnperft CT, 1t IS the part OF the wise
voter to go in for the least evil. Things
must be for the better The Republican
t, is a change, therefor carry the Re-
| publican ticket to the polls The only
way open now for reform is to vote the
straight Republican ticket, for it is a
change. l close as begun, the Repub-
liean ticket is fifty per cent better than
any other before the people.
MORAL CENTRAL.
All parties are more or less naughty;
but it is my critical opinion that the
Republican party is far more trustworthy
and less given to stealing. And further
more, most Of the moral strength and
Intellectual power, and what few progress
sive ideas there are in American politics,
are all found in the Republican party.
The winks OF simpering villains will hard
ly satisfy the stomachs OF the honest
masses, who need the food of principles.
ECLAMAGUzZLING PROPER.
One Of the most contemplate things
in the world, is this selling out process In
politics. Strange to say, among those
who claim the rights OF American cltl-
zenship, numbers can be found that will
sell their brth-righ for the Smiles Of
saloon keeper. 4 man might start out
with a team, and few green backs In his
pocket, and bring in load Of voters like
so many calves. Whilst [ would advise |
good hou>e wives not to take the rem |
nets CT such to make cheese, yet [ think |
their hides well tanned would make good |
boots.
Not uniiequently is seen in skilsful by
pocricy, an Atheist or some other spirit
uallv outlandish ''cuss" taking whole
religious sect by the ears, and setting |
them up to his own liking, or leading
them around with a yards length OF po-
lticai waxed end; whilst upon their
conferences is mingled expression OF
holy contentment and a smiling holo
Is ttat for high towards their bell-wether
champion.
POLITICAL VISION.
A multitude OF Democratic County
Conventions in state of titmanhood, a
mixed mess of bruised champions from
whose mushed bowels bubbles, and grinds
through the mind, like the rnusic of
thousand rasps,-B a-c-h, bloody Bohem-
ians exposing teeth all glittering and
savage between which is quivering hair,
an occasit nal wanderer such as answers
the description Of Dante in his picture of
hell, who e bleeding trunk moves about
clutching in its hand the hair Of its own
head whore eyes serve as a lantern, liquor |
shops overturned and dancing in de!er- |
ium tremens to the MUSIC of broken dem
johns, masculine lights soused in the |
pathos of termagant iemininity lastly old |
spawned politicians turned It other end |
up and inside out.--all. all these appear,
and all, all concur in one hell-movemeLt |
towards the far-down thrown of Beelze- |
hub. And it occurred to me. if |
Pomerania, Swabia, Dalmatia, and the |
fertile banks Of the Nile, could be repre-
sented. and if there could be an Infusion |
Of rig-taiied Mongolians, then would the |
glory Of American politics be realized,
then would the county at large be al |
right. then would the City CT Manitowoc |
