OHIO's CONTRIBUTION OF DOGGEREL
One from fredericksburg, Ohio, has the fol-
lowing:
Iowa speaks of night-cap strings
That round thy neck should glide
AND rid us of a monster
by choking till thee died.
We would that we might hug thee
With love that would not falter:
Our love should be grim death to thee,
Assisted by a halter.
Or. if a plan to tortue thee
Our wits could now devise.

And with vitriol burn thy eyes.
Nay! monster. do not hold thy hands
In holy horror up;
Gaze on thy lot, then Garield's.
Whose is the bitter cup?
SOME POETRY FROM LYNCHBURG.
postal from Lynchburg, Va, addressed to
Guiteau, the assassin, is embeIlished with
sketch of a gallows with man hanging on it,
and conveys the following message: "sAlrs well
that ends WE'LL Thus do you end. Charlie, you
are bad boy to shoot the President so, for you
know he might die then to hell you're sure to
go. If the law don't take its course and should
let you 60 free, an angry mob will take you out
and hang you to tree. Thus always with
tyrants and murderers.' b.
