Montero, another rObber and Matamoros

How McGinnis Won.

A man whom | will call McGinnis, says
Max Adelcr, represents county IN the State
Senate Of Pennsylvania. He is a Republican
and he was elected BY large majpriiy, al
though his county hitherto has always gone
Democratic. Everybody was amazed 10 find
that il had elected Republican candidate,
and nobody could understand the reason for
it. When McGinDis came 10 Harrisburg
happened to meet him, aud asked him how
it was. He said.
Now, don't mind tellin you how /
worked that thing, but dcn't want you TO
give me away on it, It's a secret When
was nominated, saw at once that bad no
chance Of get,in elected II the thing was run
on square basis. Douney, my opponent,
was Democfat an a church member, an IL
I'd Jest laid low an done notbin', he'd 'ay
skeeted into the Senate ike a snow slide into
a valley. You know tba, when people clo't
possibly get a thing, that's the very thing
they want wuss than anything on this yer
earth. Now, you can't build railroad IN my
county anyhow you Tx it. There's Doihiu'
up there but hills an' monntains. an you
might as well try to bore hole through the
Alegbaues with bar of soap as b construct
a railroad through them bills, consequently,
the people is jest wild TO have railroad in
the county, because its impossible. We'll,
sir. yes before election | hired gang OF bout
eight hundred men, sn' | bought lot Of
chains aud spy-glasses, an them instruments
that Surveyors use, an putty soon had lot
Of fellers layin' out line Of railroad through
every garden, an back yard, an' peffaior
patch 10 the county. When gang would
bust through fence al cit 10 work. tic far
nerd come runniD' out an' hollerin: What
in the thunder are you fe.lers doiD'?' aU' the
men they'd say Why, we're layin' out Tie
line of old McGiunis' railroad. Haven. you
heard about it?" Then the farmer'd 20 10 an
say 10 his wife: Maria. I'm a Democrat,
but I'r, son' to vote for old McGinDis. Why.
gosh he's buiIdin' arailroaI right through
our garden. Well he worti a usillioD when
its doue." That's bow the nd thing worked.
