CANDIDATES DEFEATED FOR PUTTING
ON AIRs.-There has just been ma lie pubic
funny incident OF the recent OHIO elC -tiOB.
Mr.. John &. Covert Wa running for the
legislature on the rePu' iioan ticket. when
u was recalled by the opposition IN anlgers
That in June, 1876, he had written a very
sensible article on Cheap Living" an arti-
Gle in which he Shove I, with t'le ability OF
Miss Juliet CorSou. that a soup could
he made at cost Of six cents for
as, onions, asparagus, spinach aud
small beef bone which The butcher was
thas was savory and nutrItlOGs and wodld
MAKE meal for poo, mans family.
Mr.. Covert was thereon as ailei al 1.-The
coup bore candidate who thought that re.
iuSe beef bones were GOOD enough for Amer
lean workingmen; cartoons pre- sented him
as ladlirg out soup in exchange for work
ms mems votes, or a. running down The
syringe charged wit broth. Toe result wa !
that IL took uhe official count TO decide that
he vas elected by some twenty votes, thou gh
MS district went republican by large ~ A.
JOrity. This recalls the fact that Tom
COlwin won his first Congressional elC =
ton in district hopelessly oppOsi-
ton by telling how his opponent, wIo
did indeed wear ''store- clothes" slept in a
night-gown. He intended the story for a
joke, but the freemen of Ohio took it in e1r-
nest, and rallying against the pampere1
arlstocrat, defeated him. A somewhat sinl-
lar story is told Of a WING candidate in New
York, who, stopping for a dinner at a way
side Inn, Orderet his beefsieak to be brOilC I
and not fried. Whether his alert COnstitu-
epts thought he was relap5ing into savagery
or putting on airs il nos known, but they
promptly made that brOiled beefsUesk a live
issue la the campaign and ne was defea.el.-
