Twas fair to see and sweet TO tasts
For Brepgie makes them 30.
She took the cake to school one day;
It was against the rule;
For children all love Brengle5 cakes
And take bite in school.
AMI so the teacher took the cake
And eat it on the sly;
And after school, with solemn face,
She told the child lie.
She said, the mice had eat the cake
And thought it very nice;
Tba. all of them that tsstedit
Had turned 10 candy mice.
The candy mice the windows show
And tempt the boys to break,
We're just the worry little mica
That nlb5led Mary's cake.
But Mary was not fooled at all.
Too thin" wRs all she spake,
The teacher quick to Brengle's skipped
And bought another CAKE
And Brengle has lots of such Cakes on hand for
Christmas. His CHRISTMAS CAKES, Black.

DEMOCRATIC LOGIC.

In the nature Of things the republican party
cannot remain in power eternally. II pro.
scriptiou reigns while 1t stays in, must not re.
taliation be expected when IL goes out2 Those
who have the interest of the republicans who
throng the executive bureaus of Washington at
heart will advocate precisely the reverse of
what Father CLAPP is so busily disseminating
secure tenure, dependent upon efficiency in
their proper duties, and not upon political
work is what our civil servants need. III sup.
porting an organ Of prescription like THE REs
PUBLICAN they are simply endangering their
own bread aud butteT.-Sunddy Herald
We hail our Sunday neighbor, both as
lecturer and teacher OF political ethics, aud
take pleasure in presenting the logic of its
discourse fol popular consideration. With
its personalities we have nothing to do. 1t
takes especial pains TO remind the repub-
hcans connected with The administration of
the danger to their own bread and butter
in supporting THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
Where this puerile act of bulldozing is in
tended to reach we know not, neither do
we care; but if it has any logical purpose,
it is to warn republican clerks that if they
continue to support THE REPUBLICAN they
endanger their bread and butter should
the democrats attain TO power. OF course
there is nothing proscriptiyei in such a threat.
1t is mere friendly admonition put forth
at this time to set republican clerks to
thinking. Then it plaintively pleads that
if prescription reigns in the departments
now, retaliation must follow when HAM
COCK shall become president and the rebels
control the destinies of this republic
All democratic history shows that that
party never waits for a provocation or
pretext for prescribing republicans when
they have the power to do so Demo
cratic logic, wheu simmered down to
tangible consistency, concretes in this wise ::
When the republicans are iu power and
the democrats want Offices it is impolitic TO
keep them ont On the other hand,
when the democrats are in power and Il
republican seeks place it is impolitic to let
him in. That is precisely the way demo.
cratic policy and logic reasons. With the
democrats it is Il" heads win and tails you
"lose, all the time. They accept the maxim
ito the victors belong the spoils" when
they are in power, but it becomes eflete,
they hold, when the republicans control the
government.
National Republican., 1880-09-13
TIE ASPECTS IN OHIO.

If the New York Sun and its meudacious
lieutenant Mt the national capital could be
believed the democrats are to have walk
over in the state of Ohio. That prince OF
liars uttcrs the following, which is reiter.
ated by its echo and pal here:
Organization, faithful work and energy skill.
fully applied ought TO carry Ohio. IL is srati.
Tying to know that these requisites for sue.
cessful campaign are now in motion.
Two elements in this contest give n mate.
rial impulse to tho democratic ticket. First,
the soldiers vote to he gained by the personal
attraction of HANCOCK; secondly, the desire
for a change of administration among couser.
vative and independent men, who believe that
prolonged sectional strife is not only danger.
Gus to the peace of the union but is ruinous
to their commercial, manufacturing aud per-
sOnal interests.
This is the presentation made of the Ohio
case by the lying side of the question. Now
for the creditable and truthful side. We
have been permitted to make the follow
ing extract from private letter of recent
date, written by truthful, candid and
highly intelligent and respectable citizen of
Ohio to friend in this city. 1t tells quite
a different story from that of the Sun, and
is, beyond question, far more truthful and
reliable:
Republicans here are exceedingly hopeful.
Yea, confident aud enthusiastic In no cam.
paign in the last three years has there existed
such a good feeling throughout the state, such
harmonious cooperation among all classes of
the party. And from Indiana we get the most
promising reports In October we hope to greet
you with 10000 majority in Ohio aud 5000 in
Indiana.
In contrast with the gross and fahu.
lous fulminations of the san this prediction
may seem somewhat exaggerated, but
when October comes it will without doubt
be shown to he much nearer the truth than
the wild and extravugant statements of q
proverbial falsfier of fact aud shameless
traducer of his lellow.men. The democrats
can 10 more carry Ohio than they can
Pennsylvania in this contest.
