ONE CONSOLATION.
Once upon limo thcro WITH MI old lady soro
bosot with troubles, but sho was not without
consolation. ello sail TINT whou nil things o!so
failed her slio could fall baoI OH tho dictionary.
So tic supporters Of tho Citizeus' Union ticket
can rcllact TINT, although thoy wore boaton By
$4,000 majority, tho principle Of Eelectlc,sn ro-
1nalns. 1",oy have already boon advised by tho
oxpoundcr oil tl,ia grcat principle that 100000
Eclectic Tickets wore printed BY Hounds t. Ja,noB
printers to tho now school Of pol!ticu II Is true

proves tint thoy were too precious to be uBod
for voting puypoAcg.
And lot tt'bo recorded, too tint tl.ero is ono
man ut lonst wlo when llo tirnws tho tlrapory of
hta conch about him, roposes in tho conaclous~
nesa Of having dono llia duty to mankind. Thia
IN DR.. Wilbur +. Storey, the head Of tho Eclectic
practice. Like MI groat roformcrs, he must ro-
gard tho first feeble results Of his efforts will,
tho unaloya1 naHsfacton conHoquont upon good
dec0s. Virtue Is Its own reward. So Is Eclcc-
ticiHm sufficient unto itself. Ono year ago, tho
distinguished advocato Of Eclocticsm failed to got
The O'Conor tickets printed, and tho noble bard
Of Eclectic rcforlnors wont detected from The
polls, unable to exercise tho inaliennblo rightn
Of EcfccticiBm for luck of ballots. This yenr no
less tlan 100000 OF teso titkotB wore gtruclt or
Hero WIS II cloar gain In ono year of 100000 in
Chicago alono. Wlnt If thoro waa not single
Eclectic ticket voted? Doesn't tho satisfaction
Of knowing that 100000 tickots wcro prinlcd
compensate for tri1ing disatrcction Mt tho
polls? Isn't the soul Of Eclccticiam still march,
ing on9 At this ratio Of progross DR.. Storey,
DR.. Mattcson, and Prof. Ashton, II. D.. 1nay nc
tually cast their Eclectic ballots next time. Tall
oaks from little acorns grow, etc. Mon must
croop boforo they walk. Groat bodies moyo
slowly. Tho bud Of Eclecticism may blossom, un-
nwarcn into hugo suntlowor tint will brighton
tho political life Of mon who aro diagustcd With
the offeto practices Of existing factions. Think
Of 900 Eclectic tickots boiug printed for
q municipal olection, and, wo presume. paid for! !
What noble martyrdom waa rhat Of tho man who
opened his purso-strings to provide loo, 600 BAL
lots for three Eclectic votors who did not roto !
Or WAS it the Eclectic printer who contributed 10
generously to The good cause ? Wo defy plilo-
sophicaI or medical Eclocticism to produce oyi-
dcnce Of devotion like this. When did tho clo-
qucnt utterances Of Victor Cousin, or tho mugi-
chi No. powders Of DR.. Thompson produce 80
magnificent result? II political Eolocticiam
goea no further, DR.. Storey will ever have tho
satisfaction Of having accomplished all that ono
mortal life could DO expected TO compass. When
ago croops still further upon him. aud declining
years bring thoao gcntlo reflections OF u woll-
spont life, he may turn with justifablo pride
to that particular copy Of his Eclectic newspaper
making tho announcement that 100, 900 Eclectic
tickots had been printed! Better still, he may
mako o collection Of thom. from which not ono

future ages, make suro TINT hlB name will bc
