Artemus Ward once lent money. He
thus recounted the transaction: ga
gentleman friend of mine came to
me with tears in his eyes. 1 said, why
these weeps?' He said he had mortgage
on his farm, and wanted to borrow $500. 1
lent him the money and he went away.
Some time after he returned with more
tears. He said he must leave me for ever.
I veDtured to remind him of the $500 he
borrowed. he was much cut up; thought
l would not be hard upon him-so told
him would throw off 800. He bright
ened-shook my hand-and said: old
friend, won't allow you to Guido me in
liberality-I'l throw off the other hun

Seldom has mn election occurred unlor such
peculiar circumstances ns TINT of yoHtorttay.
Tho mombors Of tho Bar had declared for tho
ro-election OF tho flvo judges, and Booth was
tho only ono who mot with any opposition among
them worthy of mention; for, with tho pro-
verbally short momory OF tho people, tho fact
WAS ignored how "graciouB" Mr. Williams may
DO to domagogue undor certain circumstances.
Thcre wero no opposition candidates nominated.
Mr. II. Darbor, Jr., had retired from ls candI-
'dnturo. Mr. Julius Rosonthnl determined too
late to tako it up, and appeared to DO not in tho
fold ut all, so TINT, finally, Sam Ashton alone
opposed n1r. Booth.
To tho credit Of those German wards which
yesterday placed their Intelligence and aclf-
respect in worry bad light by giving largo ma
joritieB for ARhton, wo wish to state that aino-
tonths OF tho citizens who voted for him know
not what thoy did, that they did not know who
Sam Ashton is.
In any case, the votes for this man would hayo
beon incomparably Bmal]or it tho domented bo-
inga Of tho Temperance Bureau had not insultcd
the Gorman-AmoricnnR in the grossest mannar
in their last call in the interest Of hr. Booth,
and, 80 to speak, driven thom to the polls by
forco to vote against Booth. "Anybody to
bont Booth was tue resolution OF many.
Sam Ashton received tho support Of not Hin-
glo newspaper. The Frcie Prcsse warned ita
readers against this mau, and oven tho 8taats-
zcitung, which would very gladly have seen him
elected, seconded its Sum only by attacking
Booth iercely. That, In Bpito Of all tlis, IN
Ashton could get moro than COCO votes, should
set those people to thinking who, in their blind
fanaticism, place thoir constrained views over
tho Constitution and tho right. If tho agitation
over tho scolding of Alr. Booths friends could
Hecuro so largo minority for sucl q sorrowful,
unsupported candidate Us Ashton, it may be as
sumod that tho united action Of all those who
will resist the joyleBs, Puritanical Sunday and
other kindred restraints will DO strong enough
to inBuro tho election Of froo-thnking mon;
inimlcal to all unnecessary prescription.
