The great handspring of SUCCESS in politica
: campaign is organization. Our Democratic
friends have discovered this fact. Without or
ganization, and the watchful care of the lead
ing statesmen, the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party are liable to be lured by the syrel
tongues of the Republican politicians, anC
some of them apt to vote their sentim ent
as to certain measures-even unto scratching
the Democratic ticket.
The Jackson County Democracy have triet
every conceivable method of carrying on
political campaign, except fair and straight
forward course. AS the present campaign il
one great struggle against Charles Foster
money (?) and Levi Dungan's record, they, the
Democrats, became almost swallowed up IL
the Slough of Despond, as it were-out the
Howard and Col. Micawber held them up, aye
even the great Democratic party, held they VI
by the tail. The Howard enjoined his friends
to remember the great warning, Through
much tribulation, &C."

the heavens, countless twinkling stars decked
the blue DOME innumerable insects filled the

| was street meeting of Democratic reformers,
with a wall-eyed Republican in the back
ground.
| This was meeting of the Committee of Ways
and Means to Defeat Republicans. And our
| scene opens with Frank the Doctor-Slayer ad-
| dressing the meeting.
| "My frens" said he, "virtue hez ceased to be
| a forbearance. Wen come at these Republi-
cans like they do in old Yazoo county, Mississ-
| ippi. Well clean 'em, even as Joe an me
cleaned the Doctors"
"Down with the Doctors!' followed Rip.

"Yes," said Frank, "they lie on our candi-
dates"
ayes" said Benjamin Brick, "and eff they tell
the truth on some of 'em, its SANDER Now
there's Bluster, done more to help me raise my
company in the war, so that l could git a Lieu

Buster was in command at headquarters
then"
"And he stuck by ye when ye wuz candi-
date before the convention for Sheriff in
1865"
But the Brick was gone, and Cardinal johns
remark was not finished.
"Now," said Frank, springing to his feet,
"Tm in earnest-rm goin' down 10 Jefferson

"Do! Dor yelled Cardinal John. "You can
do good work there. When you go there, they
hardly ever give over three hundred Republi-
can ma"
But Frank just then espied a wild-eyed Doc
tor going round the corner and he 'went for
him.
Lewis the Sleepy arose. one side time, and
said that he had been thinking some on plan
of campaign. He thought the Col ought to
speak at Ragland,s, in Liberty, where he had
such tremendous rush Of"
"One colored man." yelped Bandy, "ant he

"Then," said Lewis, 81 think Buster oughter
go to Scioto, and speak, and repeat that little |
scene at the market-house in 1884, when he |
shook revolver over his head, and swore that |
the editor of the Jackson Standard would soon |
be in Democratic headquarters"
"He didn't say that" said Bandy, she said |
he editor would soon be in hill"
''Well. what's the difference ?" inquired Long |
Ed.
"Then, said Lewis, 81 think the Learned S.

Here Truthful James arose, took bite of
Long Eds tobacco, and said that he would like

"Down with confusion ~ yelled Rip.
"Whether,'' p said Truthful James, "The DEM
crats on this ticket going to drink fair, or
whether they are goin' to trade every man on

Gen. Buster jumped up excitedly. "This is
10 time," said the General, for argument We
must dry up these Republican slanderers. By
lank believe we ought to mash their blank

"That's what say / heerd Nv records my

The Col. tore up copy of Piatts last speech.
Amidst all this excitement the Learned Shoe

asked if he thought frost would come early Y

'D-n the Republican party !' said the Cardi- o
II, and he emphasized 1t with a vigorous "
hack on the pavement, with his stick. R
At this time an evillooking police officer was Il
