A Played.out Citizen.

The citizen aforesaid is ycleped St. John. His
title made him all that there was of him, and
that being gone, be is nothing. As he never % :.
from any merit or ability of his own, he is a.
t,ned out, With no power TO recupcrate. I;.

John, and nominated him, the y .,ost nal
way TO humiliate his chief oppov ent From that
time, st. John has displayed cf eek upnar,lIeled
and has kept himself mp or cb..L eve, since
Attaching himself to hOh, .oy. and pretending 10
great piety, he has man nailed in his train the
strong minded womS N, the churches and the
sunday schoois, an made them all pay tribute
70 MN. win az effrontery never equalled, he
has squeezed the temperance societies, the
ehurch contp Jufion box, and the Sunday school
nickel savrigs bank, not only for money TO pay
his way IN politics, but also drummed out the
ssdiVidnal members of all these organizations
to control primary elections in his behalf Sweet
charity has been squeezed dry to contribute to
his slnsh fund. But he is crushed, with his hob
by under him, and his cohorts around him. His
methods are known. and are scattered to the
anew. With his loss Of Office, his followers will
desert him, and he could not next week carry
the delegates of three Counties in the State, he
TO choose his Counties. Newspapers and politi-
clans will not hasten to offer him service and cor
porotions will not pnt up funds for his use No
palace cars will be at his command, when he
wishes to take a journey, but he will have to
pay full fare for q scat in a second class smoker
The dignitariss Of the land will never again be
invited TO the honor Of meeting and dining with
him at the residence Of New York millionaire
People will not interview him, and hang SPELL
bonnd upon his commonplace cant. He will be
dropped like q hot potato as a candidate for the
Presidency. His services as n temperance lee
tursr will not be in demand, for his lectures were
terribly thin, and will lose their interest when
the Gov" is uncouplsd from his name The
title was all there was to him, and its loss will
leave him collapsed indeed Then people will
wonder what there was about the fellow to make
him popular, and why such poor stick appear
ed such a brilliant rocket for brief time The
starving settlers in the West will have to shiver
and starve, and the colored refugees will have
to suffer, for St. John can no longer use them as
blind TO bum electiOneeriug funds in the East
The ignorant, impudeDt pretender has had his
run, has showed men of talent into the back
ground, to make room for himself, and has been
brought low as by sudden shot Now that he
is dead and stnks, do not let his parasites crawl
from his dead body, and fasten themselves upon
some one else in power, where they can suck all
the good there is TO be had. Since st. John is po-
liticslly buried, the suckers and tosdies that
belonged to him should be buried with him.

HISTORY REPEATING ITsELF-The results of
recent elections are not q new thing in this
country. The same thing was witnessed, just
forty years ago. Gen. Harrison was triumphant
ly elected President in ls4O, as Gen. Garfield
was in 1880. Harrison died soon after entering
upon the Office. His vice-President, Tyler
succeeded to the Office; he at once abandoned
Harrisons policy and his friends, and set about
Tylerizing the Wing party, with view to his
own reelection as President. The elections of
ls42 went Overwhelmingly Democratic, in near
ly all the States, among the frst being Ohio,
which elected Wilson Shannon Governor over
Tom Corwin. But in ls4t the Wing party had
recuperated, and was enthusiastic as ever !;
and, although Henry Clay did not become Pres
ident, he was elected by the honest votes, but
was overcome by the gigantic frauds in New
York City, and the Plsqnemines fraud, in Louisi-
sna. Two years from now, Arthur will be as
dead Tyler was in I5i4. There is a states
man now living who is likened to Henry Clay.
If the Republican party puts him at its head,
he will lead them TO victory in ISs4, in spite of
treachery and frand. q

n The Atchison Champion suggests that it is
about time for the "kickers" at the last election
to stop their nagging and shouting and boast

" 1t will be remembered that Doniphan
County opposed the nomination of Mr.. Morrill,
for Congress, while Atchisou fairly adopted him
as her candidate, declaring that that the person
al and business relations existing between Atch-
ison and Brown Counties, rendered it impossible
that Atchison could do otherwise than favor
him. He was nominated. The reader will sup
pose, Of course, that Atehison County voted
practically unanimously for Morrill, Well, she
didn't-she gave about 100 majority against him !;
while Doniphan County, that was taunted, and
abused and bcsmeared for not favoring his nom-
ination. gives him over GOO majority. It is a
clever thing to shove a candidate upon other
people, and then do nothing yourself toward
electing him, but let those other fellows do it,

y One of the singularities of the recent cam.
paign in Kansas, was the fact that in some OF
the North-Western Counties, an idea obtained
that Click stood no possible chance Of an elec-
tion, ht that Robinson the only candidate
who could heat ST. Jon. Therefore. nearly all
the persons opposed TO 81. John voted for Rob-
inson. In some Of the Counties. very many
Democrats voted for Robinson. solely on this
ground, and Click did not get anywhere near
the Democratic vote. while Robinson polled a
heavy vote. This obtnseness in seeing the drift
Of fate, might have resulted in the reelection of
st. John.

= What effect will the late elections have
Oh that frst-elass circus known as the Tariff
Commission As we understand it, this arrange
inent is a squad of hgh-toned, brainy impractic-
ables, appointed to have good time for year
or two, at big salary from the Government, to
eoncoct something that fifty out of every forty
Congressman cannot understand, and that would
be of no earthly use if they did. A Republican
Congress, instead of tackling the tariff, and re-
vising it to meet the needs of the country,
switched it off TO this side-track that is never
used for live freight The Tariff Commission
will spoil iu the shell.

lF Jim Burnes is elected TO Congress, in the
st. Joseph District. by large majority. A
most bitter fight was made upon him. He may
be tricky, as a politician, but he has the reputa-
tisn Of being public spirited and liberal. We
have heard business men say that they could
get accommodations from him when they could
get them nowhere else. II he has acquired a
fortune for himself, it shows that he possesses
good business capacity, and amounts to some
thing, when he takes hold.
