! Boo hoo-hoo. O, my. what shall do
! After all our fraud and stufling and buy
ing and ku.kluXism and false counting
and growing, it turns out at last that
Hayes is elected, and that we are to 1--we
under black Republican administration
four years longer--and Oh! my blasted
hopes. | felt sure this time; the Z. 0.
and my success | had in full view. So
! certain was, that ordered new suit of
clothes, and made arrangements to keep
tho =. 0. in one corner of the saloon
and had directed the deacon to sum up
my drinks as | would square up on the
receipt of my first quarterly salary. Now
| find myself nowhere, only a great deal
worse. | went in this time with the
great rcformers of our country to win :;
and think, on review of our efforts
we shall have no regret that we did not
do our Level best. In my zeal tor the
interests Of democracy, am sure | was
inspired by its father; for who else could
have reconcilcd me to all its damnable
plots and counterplots. Knowing well
that fair and intelligent expression of
the peoples wants would be overwhelm-
ingly against Us, we adopted every con
ceivable plan to prevent such an express
sion. We bulldozed whole districts and
used freely the shot gun argument We
made promises of office, and many a
''likker" was dealt out without stint. ]
told the deacon to dca! out as need seem
ed to demand, and all would be made
right when Tildcn was elected He did
once have the impotence to suggest that
he preferred pay down. We brought in
to requisition all our party skill in lying
and dOublefaccdncss to deceive and make
show that we were sacrificing ourselves
for our country's good. We ransackcd
earth and hell (heaven we had none) for
aid and argument We put in front as
leaders the mcancst men we had-still all
did no good and our cause is lost, and
am forced to submit to that dread decree
that cOnsigns our party to eternal infamy
and unpleasant odor.
The array of trash and character we
brought into requisition the pill was too
nauseating for even strong stomachs; and
our high pretcnsions and promises to re-
form were too thin, and an intelligent
people were quick in seeing that 1t was
all bosh; and that we were Tie same old
rebel party of 1860. There is only one
thing left for us, and that is to take the
government by force. We tried tina:
once and failed and am afraid we could
do no better now
Fate seems to be against US; and
shall he obliged t" leave the Gross
Roads" and retire into obscurity and
there spend my remaining days in Il hap
py remembrance of what once was and
of the good times | have had in anticipa-
ton. So farewell, my comrades in re
form. ).

A REPORT is current in our exchanges,
that w. G. Mclaughlin, the eloquent and
energetic temperance worker, has fallen
from grace, and relapsed into habits of
dissipation, We sincerely hope that the
runi.r is unfounded. Mclaughlin was a
most talented and effective speaker and
laborer in the good cause, and it would
be real calamity to him and his as well
as the temperance reform, if it should
prove true that the cursed appetite that
before dragged him down to degradation
and misery has again asserted its bancful
sway over him. Very few realize the
strength of will and watchful vigilance
required by the reformed drinker to
guard against his ancient enemy.

SEVERE ACCIDENT AT WINTHROP
On Monday last, Mr.. f. p. Brintnall met
with quite severe mishap while return
ing from Winthrop TO his home a mile or
so north of the village. His team, pair
of spirited colts, became frightened and
unmanagable, and breaking the pole Of
the buggy, threw Mr.. Brintnall violently
to the frozen ground. When taken up
by persons in the vicinity of the accident,
it was found that one of his hips was
badly injured. When examined By the
physicians it proved to be broken near
the body 1t Is feared that the injury
will confinc him to his bed for a long
time, and perhaps result in permanent
lameness. At last accounts he was very

THE UNION Spy The rendition of this
beautiful drama by the amateur talent of
our city last week at Kings Opera House,
is recognized, we think, by all, to have
bee II one of the finest entertainments ev-
er placed before Independence people
The characters, with the single exception
of Col. Temple, the author and manager,
were all amateurs, and without exception
did exceedingly well. Ransicr as the
Union Spy, jackson as Charles Morton,
Freddie Hunter as Willie, the Drummer
Boy, Jacobs as Farmer Morton, Clarke as
Pussy Jones, McEwcn AS Tom, and sew
eral others in their respective characters,
are deserving of special mention and
their acting in many respects was pro-
nounced nearly perfect. The ladies, too
must not be excepted. Misses Ella Her
rick as Anna Morton, Matte Sherwood as
the old lady, and Mrs. Minnie Palmer as
Nellie Morton, sustained unusually diff
cult characters in splendid style.
The tableaux were very beautiful and
appropriate and were well executed Our
people will long remember the drama
with pleasure, and will welcome the oc-
casion for its production IN the future.

Antt-Chlnese Club.

Last evening there was full atten-
dance at the regular weekly meeting
of the Anti-Coolie Club of Los Ange-
les, the President in the chair. The
minutes of the previous meeting hav-
ing been read and approved, the Com
mittee on a memorial to the city gov
ernment reported a petition asking
for the punishment of all parties who
neglect to obey ordinances in exis-
teuce, and such others as are suggest
ed for passage. An harmonious in
terchange of sentiment upon the gen.
eral objects of the organization ensued,
there being perfect harmony in the
sentiment that the objects of the Club
could and should be accomplished by
legitimate and peaceful means alone.
The memorial to our Senators and
members of Congress, asking for an
abrogation of the Burlingame treaty
was presented with the signatures of
fifteen hundred names. Others will
be circulated during the coming week,
when they will be forwarded to Con-
gress. The membership is increasing
at rapid rate, and before many
weeks the Club will be forced to more
commodious quarters. For the pres.
ent the regular meetings will be held
in Hibernia Hall every Tuesday eve-
ming. Every citizen is cordially invi.
ted to ioin.
