DEMOCRATIC LITERATURE.
The Rowling Green Bard as q Cam
pHign RhJmStrr and Slnglst.


LEE KLoPFENsTEIS, of Bowling Green,
who acquired some notoriety as a doggerel
manufacturer and vcnder OF poor music
during the county seat contest, is seeking
wider fields for the display of his genius
as poet and talent as ballad singer. He
has evidently straddled a mule under
the supposition that it was Pegasus he had
mounted, and by vigorous uAe OF spur and
whip, got mp canter OF which the follow
ing is N fair specimen:
Tho lines Of party strife at last are passed
away,
And we'ru going to vo.o for Bishop on our
next eieetinn day.
The stories OF the school fund and such bug.
bears unfair,
Are nothing but mere bags Of wind, real
castles in the AIR.
Ten verses OF this stuff was spun ont by
the bard, and off lie posted for the Demo-
cratic Senatorial Convention, under escort
Of one HITCHCOCK, of Bowling Green-a
man who is somewhat known in this county
on account of the oft.repeatcd back-scts
given to his aspirations after honors in
Democratic county conventions. At the
Senatorial Convention, tho bard was called
upon to sing his doggerel, and it was diff
cult to tell which was the poorest the" lines,
or the singing. In theevening, HrrCHcoCK
brought his protege to our village and gave
open-door concerts in Saloons to little
knots of "smiling" Democrats. This song
Ia NJ; a,,I
hearsal increased the effect upon HITCH
COCK, who would close his eyes, weave his
body back and forth as though in trance
and keep time with the heel OF his pom
derous boot. Some thought they could
see great tears roll down the cheek OF the
old man when allusion was made to bug
bears" but the more reasonable conclusion
was that it was drooling Of the mouth
caused by the length of the song and the
consequent lapse Of time between "smiles. 4"
HITcHcocK Was evidently as proud of LEE
as the average organ-griuder il of his
monkey, and while the hat was not passcd
gaping listeners would of course "set 'em
up" a. each repetition of the performance
The impression made in our village by
this iniIiatory campaign movement, was
very great, and the Democrats of this
county will struggle hard, under such a
Stimulous to hold their own this fall but
it will be an uphill business. II the Re,

lars to spare, let them at once engage
