"MY CD. what a fix we're in. We
have not only lost our President, but
we've lost the whisky too was the /
mournful expression of an Elkton Demo- .
crat the morning after election.
AS the proprietor of that pole - left |
the hole in the WALL on Tuesday night |
he consoled himself with the remark:
1.-the news from Wicomico county is
glorious" He hasn't spoken since.
\ CHARLEsTowN DEMOCRATIC politi- |
clan expressed himself thusly on Tues |
day night, after hearing the county re-

elf YOU ask me, Brother how goes |
the tight?' | answer, 1t is well. "-Sena-

templated negotiations with Perry Barnes
for the purchase of his bull-his big bull
his tvo-story bull-to feed empty Bour-
bon bellies at a Turkeytown barbecue, in
the event of Hancock's election. But
Barnes bull is at home since Gen. Gar
field was elected.
Has it come to pass that strange gen

don't get back as soon as is expected,
why, all right; it won't make any differ
ence Be kind to the children.
