Mn. JOIN RoRrseN, the circus man
ager, who ran fof Mayor in Cincinnati,
the other day, does not seem to be
pleased with his first and only experience
in politics. On the night of his defeat an
audacious reporter had the temerity to
call upon him and ask what he thought
about it,. WheA they brought the re-
porter to, and had cleared the, birthstone

not reeollect exactly what Mr.. Robinson
said, but he judged by the energetic
manner of his speech and the size and
frequency of the eaths that he didn't
care to run for Office any more.
