TnE GOVERNMENT Circus. - The
Hayes circus performed in Pittsburp
last week TO o fair crowd. 1t is very
kind in Mr.. Hayes to give these free
exhibitions, The times are hard, and
shows like Barnums cost money
These free entertainments amuse the
people, and everybody can get in with,
out paying a cent or resorting TO tho
disrcputable dodge of crawling under
the canvas. They also enable small
politicians to thrust themselves into
prominence by hanging on the Prcsi.

these shows. They help the railroads,
the saloons, and hotels, and perhaps
Mr. Tilden's salary may as well be OK.

that the Republicans will not loose

DILL OR HOYT.

The editor of the Doylestown Demo
crat, Gen. Davis, in alluding to the
canvass says;
"Dill or Hoyt--that's the word.
Which will you have? You, the peo-
pie, must decide this momentous ques.
tion at the ballot-box in November.
Well, what's the difference between
them? 1t lies just here. They repre-.
sent different ideas, different habits OF
political thought, and principles as ad
verse as the poles. We have no word
to utter against Hoyt. We have known
him for years and respect him. The
writer OF TINS article was his brigade
commander for two years, and does not
hesitate to bear testimony to his cour.
age on the field. But the trouble
with Hoyt is, that he is only the rep
resentative of the effete and musty
principles of the Republican party. If
elected he will be in duty bound to car.
ry out Republican policy, which the
people are anxious get rid Of Things
will move on in the same old rut, and
hard times will as usual, be cured with
promises. There will be no change
with Hoyt in the Executive Chair
extravaganza in State appropriations
Will continue, and no saving to the tax
payers. 1t is utterly impossible for
party to correct its own evil deeds and
turn aside into new paths. The cleo
ton OF Dill will bring new set of men,
with new ideas into power. They will
be elected on the square issue of reform.

be any who wish things to go on in the

THE MULE POLITICIAN


The editor Of the Philadelphia Cath.
Ole Standard, having sold himself and
his columns to Quay 4 Co. for cash, as
is the usual way of knaves and fools,
sees fit TO lie about and assail Mr., Dill,
our nominee for Governor, charging
him with being y Know Nothing at
eighteen years Of age. This lio is but
ter on the bread Of every Know Moth
ing Catholic This class of politicians
sustain the same relation among men
that the mule does 10 the horse-an
abortion--so deiormed in nature that
uun ana beast see them as they are.
The mule politician possesses one rare
quality-impudence, which he inherited
from his beastly brother-and which
he frequently displays before the human
race as his long cared partner does his
heels. This is about the way they do
it;
Mule Politician.--"Jim they say that
your man Dill is a Know NothingY"
Jim.-"How did you find that out I;
are you one, tooY"
NJ. P.-Ohl the Catholic Standard
says so.n
Jim.-Well, if that is the case, you
Know Nothing Catholics will certainly
be suited this campaign, because Hoyt
is much older Know Nothing than
Dill, You are one of the last men in
the world that should growl. Be sure
You are not lying about this thing"
The NJ. r., having found his match,
showed his hind end to Jim and, mule
like, disappeared.
