1t is said that in Washington the feeling
among Republicans Is that the domination
of Foster for Governor of Ohio Is evidence
of the growing strength and renewed pre-
dominance OF the respectable clement in ii c

spirits Just now over their prospects.

REGARDING the alleged bribery and bali
dOzing of voters by Republicans in the 1878
election at Bennington, VT. the Burlington
FREE Press SAYS that no doubt the parties
implicated would be able to match every
instance Of bribery or intimidation on the
Republican side with one or more on the
Democratic side" Then it utters this sound
doctrine: ''But that would he no lustifci-

His SisTFEs, Ills COUSINS AND Ills
AUNTs.-A Joke is tolC on certain gen
tleman which is too good 10 be lost. Our
friend purchased pain of pants a few
| DAYS ago, which. upon being tried on at
home, he found too long. That night he
remarked 10 his wife tha he ishcd her
to take of about an inch from each leg,
but being fond OF tcaZino her husband,
She told him that she shuildn't do any
thing of the kind. and he loi,rd, finally,
without haviu" obtained promise from
her that She would aticLd Ia the matter.
Soon after he had left Tor lis room, how
ever, She, rs a matter oi course, clipped
of the surpertluous inch ~ she had been
asked to do. The family i composed OF
six female members, in addition to the
good man, and it chlncal that each
one oi the five, who Were n adjoining
rooms. including the molherci our friend
heard the dispute bitween man and wife
about the pants, and after the latter had
taken out the required inch and retired
the old lady, desiring 20 keep peace in
the family and not knowing what her
daughter-in-iaw had done, cautiously slip
ped into the room and cut of another inch.
In this way did each of the five Ladies',
unknown To- the other, and all with the
piaiseworthy object al preventing any
misunderstanding between the married
couple. clip an inch from the legs OF the
gentleman trousers. The following
morning, all unconscious Of what had
taken place during the night. he rolled
up his pants in piece Of paper and took
them 10 the tailor Ia be shortened To the
desired length. Upon i nasty glance the
latter ycnturcd the opinion that they
were already rather short but the owner
was to well posted ON that score and in
sisted that they were fully an inch too
long. On the following Saturday he call
ed Tor the pants and took them home, and
the next morning, when he came 10 put
him SELF inside ui them, he was Supremely
disguised AT finding that the legs reached
only a tritle below the knee. In other
words. they had been altered TO the fash
ion OF century ago, when knee brcechcs
were in vogue. lie straighlway accused
the tailor Of having ruined his pants, and
his Indignation WAS expressed in language
anything but mild. His wife heard him
and came TO the +, scue of the Knight oi
the Shears, explained that She had taken
an inch from each at he legs. and her
acknowledgement was followed 10y that
OF each OF the other five ladies, when it
was discovered that altogether the legs
had actually been shortened To the extent OF
seven inches. lHniotrR (Pd) chronicle.
