Everybody in the city knows Jim -.
Who in this vicinity ever made such sharp
trades in horsctlesh, or is more competent to
judge Of the qualifications of 'swifter!'
Jim. with his other accomplishments, is an
aWfM democrat. He was never classed in any
political canvass among the "doubtful" ones.
You can put your hand on him at any time OF
the day, and reckon on a man who is sure to
vote the straight democratic ticket every time,
without! any adulteration or Interpolation sug-
gested by conservative" republicans or dis
affected democrats, hoping for success. On
Monday Jim appeared at the polls in his ward
for the purpose of doing his duty, armed and
equipped with democratic vote. Out of cour-
tesy, friend handed him republican ticket
which he deposited in the bottom OF one of his
pockets, consigning the democratic ticket to
another pocket. The horse question was in
troduced, and in the bewilderment of its dis
cussion, and its fascination, Jim forgot his
country, her rights and her wrongs-forgot
even that there were such things as political
parties-and remembering only that he had
vote in his pocket to deposit in the ballot box,
he stepped forward and deposited the gentle
messenger that does the freeman's bidding
But what sensation is visible in the little ward
room! The republican who sits over against
the polls with check list and pencil in hand,
rises from his seat and looks in blank astonish-
ment and the democratic guardian of the polls
is stricken with paralytic shock of surprise.
Jim has roted the republican ticket He is
charged with it, as though it were crime
He denies it stoutly and in language never
used in properly conducted Sabbath schools.
lie finally appeals to the officers and specta-
tors, and they all witness to the truth of the
charge. He had put his haRd in the wrong
pocket, and inadvertently had for the first time
in his life voted right He will never get over
that blow while he remains in the democratic
party.
