The Nobody Nominees.

and then-turn from the panegyrics
to an inspection Of the ticket as the
several papers in question keep it at
their mastheads. by the process the
slwarts and nobodics there told by

these editors themselves do not
know enough about the candidates
to print their names correctly. from

our table We have cut copies Of the
ticket they keep standing, Compar.

features which they seyerally present.

The name of the nominee for Au
