ton of the Democratic party in this district to

them an opportunity to "laugh' and indulge
the hope of success, but now that the Republ-

be realized. Here is the story:

over the fence again, somewhat bruised. Pat
ielsurely picked himself up, with the consola-
tory remark. "Well it's mighty foine thing 1
