Somebody asks the Democrat why it
does not give more local news. To
which its editor replies as follows:
P.S. To be real. slowly in an orotone
voice:
l. The world has been g-o-v-e-r-n-
ed by the vanity of mankind long
e-n-o-u-g-h and its ambition from hence
has mostly arisen. These two things
are contrary to the purposes of pure
Intelligence and reason, and
as Of consequence, are opposed to the
idea of all moral and religious love.
With about yard more of such stuff.
One good news item is worth whole
volume of such bombastic nonsense.
How is the following for good gram
mar:
We have not heretofore said but lit
tie in regard to the reunion to take
place i'll September 1st, I'd, Sd, and for
the reason, that at the time the thing
was first mentioned, the republican |
party ,cere likely to hare nominated

gcod-very good.
A gentleman versed in signs and au-
gurieS dropped IN this morning to tell |
us that he had just discovered that the
initials of Hancock's name-W. S. H
are the initials, Will Succeed Hays"
This is one of the most significant things
that we have observed since the begin
ming of the canvass
P. S.-We have just found out that
these initials also stand for Won't Sue
coed Hays" We hardly know what to
make of this; we are bewildered.
