A WISH.
BY W. E. SHAW (NEsToR.)

BY W. E. SHAW (NEsTOR.)
] wish was a printer
really do, indeed;
It seems TO me that printers
Have everything they need.
They get the largest and the best
Ofeverything that grows,
And get free INFO circuses
And other kind of shows.
The biggest bug will speak to them,
No matter how they dress;
A shabby coat is nothing
Ifthey own printing press.
At fairs they are almost Rugged
BY pretty girls who know
That they will crack up everything
The ladies' have 10 show. isEf'5zt
And thus they get blowout free
At every party feed;
The reason is because they write
And other people read.

A Mistaken Man.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
We were told during the campaign by
Democrats in office that if Hancock was elected all
Republicans would have to go. think that would
have been right. expected, however, that if it
went the other way all Democrats would have to
go; but they still stick in all of the Departments
! think this is wrong; don't you?
