THE OHIO EXCITEMENT.

Way out in Ohio there's trouble for Sherman,
Who pulls up his collar and pulls down his vest,
Prepared for the cohorts of Ewing and Thurman
Who poster him terribly there in the West
No longer he boasts of the bloody shirt banner,
Which erst he had borne in the front of the fray
His foes, in the most inexcusabe manner,
Have forced him to put the red emblem away.
In vain he may search every regiments roster
OF men who came forward the Union to save;
Tom Ewing he finds, but no trace of Charles Foster,
And he learns that RiCelett good leg in the grave
Gold dollars and greenbacks together are cleaning,
Squeezed ont of the clerks who have little to spare,
And Hayes's mild Countenance bandly is beaming
Among the big pumpkins and pig at the Fair.
In vain for Gods bountles he claims all the credit,
Big crops and Americas labor and skill;
A heavy accounts to be placed to his debit,
For people remember Frauds victory still.
What more can he doP There has not been blum
der,
And he and Charles Foster take balm to their souls
TIL ponderous Thurman comes forward TO thunder
At Deputy Marshals and troops at the polls.
Now he and his aids must be up and be doing;
Out there In Ohio his battle is fought;
John Sherman must fall with the rise Of Tom Ewing
And all his fine scheming come quickly to naught.

THE ENpLEss PRooRssIoN.


Down the vista OF the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward slow and solemn,
Go, In never ending column;
Here the honest, here the knave,
With rhythmic step sublime,
To the grave.
Like the rolling Of river,
Going on and on for ever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for an instant straying;
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
Equals soon TO mix and mingle
In the grave.
Duty can not, nor can pleasure,
For moment break the measure;
They are marching on to doom,
They are moving to the tomb;
All the coward, all the brave,
Soon to level all distinction
In the grave.
Since the morning of creation,
Without break or termination,
Ever Oh tne line ls moving,
All the loved and all the loving,
All that mothefaever gave
on to silence, on to slumber
In the grave.
Here no bribc the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken;
Each one for hlmself-nO other,
Son nor father no, nor brother;
Love the purest can not save;
Each alone the roll must answer,
At the grave.
Who commands the dread procession
That shall know no retrogresslon2
Who can he the great dictatorP
Hal that grim and grizzly spectre,
Him that sin to Satan gave;
Death, the mighty King and Terror,
..aa And the grave.

THE SOLDIERS AND THE DEMOC-
RACY.

It is fact not found In any Republican cam
paign speaker, that there are more Union soldier
employees on the rolls Of the present Democratic
Congress than were ever borne on the rolls of any
Republican Congress. 1t is fact which Repub'
lican journals and speakers studiously ignore,
that the Union soldiers have received more consid'
Grafton and much better treatment from Congress
since the Democracy gained control OF the House
and took charge Of the appropriations, than were
ever accorded them during the long period Of Re-
publican rule.-- Washington Post

of Kansas are billed to wash their
dirty linen in presence of the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections A score or two Of the
most prominent Republicans in the State, includ.

made oath that Mr. Ingalls, secured his election
by bribery, and their statement having been ur-
gently pressed on the attention Of the Senate Mr..
sausburys committee will go out there to hear
what Mr.. Ingalls,, his friends and his enemies have
to say. Kansas will be shaken up with violent
storm of passion. deal of political nastiness
will be exposed But this will be nothing new in
the history Of Kansas politics In fact it will be
in accordance with well,established line Of pre-
