THE rub-a-dub-dub and the pee-wee-wee

life, too.
WE wonder how the President of the
Jackson Greenback Club (whom everybody
likes) enjoyed run, Democrat, rum" when
he expects to be hand to hand with the
Democrats in the great battle with Radi-
calism in 1880. "Oh John, John, don't

Chancerv Clerk, S. Livingston for Circuit

wale of split tickets.
THE attempt to consolidate the Green
back and the Radical tickets, by each side
81 wing one half for luther" has proven a
failure, and the three cornered fight goes
on. The trouble is neither could induce
any of their candidates that they belonged
to the half that was to "step down and out"
Democrats and Conservatives, who have
gone off to the Greenbackers, how did you
like the sound of the Radical fife and drum
On last Monday night? If it was not sweet
to your ears, charge it to your leaders, who

have hold of its tail and the Republicans
its head, and they have nearly pulled it in
two. There is no telling which side will
have the biggest piece if 1t should come
anart. We advise Mr.. Gill to soap the
black line tail if he wants to see the Green
hackers loose their grip and "draP'
