the bulk Of the party. Well, the young man
commenced by addressing the audience as
{. fellow citizens and fellow Democrats q And
told them what great pleasure it afforded him
to speak to such vast audience, composed
of Democrats, and especially ona Democratic
subject. It first filled him full, yes fuller /
than he had bees for some timer But, says

political speeches. A fact which was very
apparent to every one present, after he was
through. Now, after these few Introductory
remarks, be sailed ip,, and of all the clean

in the management of the government by the
Republicans. and said, il the Democrats got

suppose he thought the General would want
to select some of them himself, especially
from the late Rebellious States. Mo- he
passed the rest by and went away into Scot
land and told us about two very lofty noun
tains there, fact which is very pertinent to
this campaign, and just tore right through,
putting In one clincber after another, of like
character, until every one began to be terri
fled, and began to pass their handkerchiefs
around-getting ready to cry. When the
young man noticed it, he took very short
turn and brought them back to high state
of enthusiasm by telling Chinese story. He
said John Chinaman was one day locking at
"a locomotives and not knowing exactly where
it got it's propelling power from, made the
following remarks, " No psshey, no pulley,
but go like belly" and that brought down the
house. They just roared and stamped, aud
one dog under the benches set up an awful
howl. Well, after this was over, the speaker
thinking he had made such a hit with one
Chinese story told another one, but this one
did not stir them up SO much. ), He. said net
long since, one afternoon as he was about to
get ready to take one OF the trains leaving
Philadelphia, he went rather hurriedly after
his washing, and in his haste forgot to take
but John says, ssNo checkey no washey -
g Well" says he, ssJohu, I'll bring it next
time If go back after it I'll miss the
train" But no use, that heather Chinee
would continue to say, mo cheokey, no
washey" The audience looked around dumb
founded, as they could not comprehend which
check the gentleman meant. the one given
him to get his clothes with, or the one to pay
the heather for his washey. But the greater
part of them supposed the latter, as it is sup
posed some wicked Republican, had posted
John about the gentleman's politics, and
thereby caused him to think he might be
victim of misplaced confidence. So, after
telling this last story and receiving no ap.
plause, except one mournful howl from the
dog, tile speaker hastily thanked his hearers
for their kind attention and appreciation of
his remarks, and subsidized, with the belief
that be- had settled the whole question; and

that had Joined the Republican Club here one
week before, stepped up and was reoblgated
aud ordered his name put down, saying, "he
would not hold out against such argument
aud the Republicans didn't sugar up as well
as the Democrats did. Now, its no use talk.
ing, if the Democrats are going to begin so
soon with their heavy guns in this campaign,
the Republicans are gone sure. But we will
keep up courage little longer aid await
