The Savannah, Ca, NelOs, in commenting on
GaIfi Ids action in hanging on to his salary grab
until public indignation and the imminence OF
political death forced him to give up the swag
illustrates the case by the following story An
old gentleman was invited to a fashionable din
ner and on the table large pyramid OF fruit had
been placed near the top of which there had
been inserted few red peppers by way of orna-
ment. Our friend, not recognizing the pepper
and thinking it was a rare species Of fruit, helped
himself to one of the little pods and without ex-
amining it closely, began to chew 1t. The first
bite revealed its nature, but knowing that 1t
would not be polite to make any noise about 1t,
he herocaly kept 1t in his mouth. The heat
from the cayenne became intOlerabe. Tears
coursed down the old gentleman's cheeks and his
agony was intense, At length, unable to stand 1t
longer he took the offending pod between hi
6ugers, and with voice trembling with emotion
said Ladies and gentlemen, with your permis-
sion I'll put that damned little red thing back
Never did story apply so appropriately to any one
as does this to Garfield. He held on to his salary
grab to the last moment and refused to give 1t up
until thoroughly scorched by the hot indignation
OF his constituents Only then did he with
trembling voice ask forgiveness and agree to
put that damned little red thing back"

DE GOLYER GARFIELD,s "PINA-
FORE" SONG.

When was boy scarce went to school,
But bossed the career Of towpath mule;
Iurged him from spring until late in the fall
To pull big boat on the raging canawl.
My urging that mule was so eff Il Client,
That now I'm candidate for President.
rolled up my trousers as high as could be
And relied on that mule TO educate me;
soon learned many Of his tricks and ways,
Which helped me much at the counting in Of Hayes
At the counting in was such an Instrument,
That now I'm candidate for President,
AS older grew. to religion turned
The ways of the plous speedily learned,
learned to preach, and learned TO pray,
And learned to hide what carried away.
This learning used with such good intent
That now I'm candidate for President
1 went to the war, and came home again,
But stayed long enough to write myself Gen."
When bullets were flying about so free,
thought that Congress would better suit me.
That Congress suited was evident,
For now I'm candidate for President.
When held the strings Of the public purse,
might have done better, but not much worse:
grabbed at the left, and grabbed at the right,
And never missed a job that came In sight.
My grabbing was known as so excellent
That now I'm candidate for President.
My party saved from sudden perdltIon
By counting in Hayes to his present position,
And now his successor I'll be- no doubt.
Unless the people shall count me out.
My chances, l fear, are I worth a cent,
Although I'm candidate for President.

Forney's Progress: Garfield sold his votes In
Congress at so much a head, and he now offers to
buy the people. 1t is fair exchange. The Pres.
identlal candidate Of the Republican party never
cast vote on great job that he was not duly
paid for 1t, as proved by his own confession and
clinched by the denunciation Of his own party
and now his suctioneers are selling his promises
In exchange for the ballots Of the people, 1t is
sight as utterly without parallel in our politics as
the presence of candidate for President who
runs for that high Office blstered all over by the
scorn and contempt of his own party.

fooling 'em.

DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH IN THE
NORTH.

The selfrelisnt Democrats who vote as they
think right must smile with contempt, Of course
to hear 1t used as an argument that either "the
South OF "the North" is with or against their
party or their opinions. But there are weak NOR,
tails who may be deferred perhaps, from giving
effect to theil real sentiments by the fear or the
feeling that in so doing they will be going against
their own part Of the country, Senator Conkling's
whole speech on Friday night was addressed to
such persons To them we commend the follow
ing table of the Democratic votes cast at the last
Presidential election:

ty the large maj rity Of its members are citizens
of Northern states sixty.two and one third per

The Life of General Winfield Scott Hancock,
related in soldier fashion by General James 8.
Brisbln, has been prepared entirely from material
furnished by General Hancock and General
Mitchell Of his staff. The details therefore may
be relied on as entirely trustworthy, the work is
recognized by the National Democratic Commit.
tee as the leading campaign biography OF General
Hancock, Republicans will buy the book to see
what the author staunch Republican, has to
say of his friend General Hancock. Democrats
will buy the book because it is officially endorsed
by the Democratic party. Some few documents
and brief sketch Of Mr.. William H. English
have been added that the reader might iud the
book reference volume for the mighty struggle
just begun as well as an interesting story OF
great life, The name OF the author is a sufficient
guarantee Of the excellence of the work, he pre-.
pared the manuscript originally for $500 book
but condensed 1t somewhat, and 1t is now offered
to the public at the remarkable low price Of %
cents.
In the publishers Notice" Mr. Smith says:
This hasty sketch of one whose greatness is not
Of his sword only, is written out of friendship
and admiration for its hero, The book has been
called forth by the necessity that exists for
cheap and reliable edition OF the Life of General
Hancock that tells the reader who he is and
what he has done to deserve the readers esteem
and appreciation. General Hancock deserves
election not alone because he has been selected
by the D ymocratc party but for his individual
worth and the undiSpued title he has won to
nations gratitude. soldier pre- eminent in bat

conspicuous in the hour of his cOuntry's need
