until he reached the close. Just be-
fore leaving the floor the ct. g." said
"the whole ticket" meaning the boss
ticket, twill be elected" This didn't
bring any out spoken denunciation,
and the assembled denizens from the
"banner township" managed to
swallow this, thinking it was the last
dose. But when the t. s. added,
"and Hoadly he will be elected too"
this was more than the honest yeo-
manry could stand, and one of their
number cried out, eff he gets votes
enough" To which the t. S. retorted
"Well, he'll getvotes enough. There
upon the honest yeoman suggested
that he had 1.-TWO tens and five that
said he wouldn't. And SO ended the
second lesson.
Therewerethenloud cries forSloane,
and that gentleman not waiting to be
raised up by the eager and waiting as

Of several things that afterno on and
night had got the boss feelings and
manners in anything but a placid
state, and the above reference to him
as boss was more than his "biler"
could stand. And '1ending to the
eye terrible aspect-this aspect
could have been seen on his eyes all
evening, however he blew off in this
style. "You call me boss. Why I
have two narrow minded radical Re-
publicals in my office that can't do
a thing with This county never
produced two as radical, rampant
Republicans as Cy. Newly and Mont
Morrow, the latter of whom, This
township has honor or rather the
disgrace to bring forth. 1 am to be
pitied on account of my situation"
because he can't boss, them We
suppose. This was hot shot. The
boss was on a down grade that night
and it occurred to him at this mo-
ment that he would better whistle
for brakes. Because those two radi-
cal Republicans had not been
around his office, as he called it, for
nothing, and hence had a little
knowledge about the manner in
which the Liberty township dele
gates, as well as some others, were
selected, and of some of the crooked
ness about McConnaughey's and
Harper's nominations, and if they
were lashed too hard, they might
divulge. So the boss turned his
tune, and began to give these two
radicals "taffey" and. with a true
Christian spirit said, that with all
their radical views he still loved
them.
1t seems that when the boss strikes
a community where he can't buy
Republicans, he tries to catch them
with his piety. And to the astonish-
ment of every one present, he told
them he was in favor of the Second
AmsHdmeHtl Now, just think what
shaking up that community got that
night. He also said that George
| Gardner and Mills Gardner and
"old" Thompson were only advocat-
ing the Second Amendment to catch
Republican votes, but that he was
sincere. Before being accused, he
plead not guilty to the charge that
he was trying to make votes for his
ticket. Now look here, boss, don't
you think the standing Of George
and Mills Gardner and "old" Thomp-
son on the temperance question fur
nishes better evidence that they are
sincere, than your standing on the
same question does that you are sin
cere? When Thompson and the
Gardners want to speak for the Sec
ond Amendment, they hold a
straight-out Second Amendment
meeting, and don't mix it up with
politics, as it is non-partisan meas
ure, but you try to mix the two arti-
cles together. The boss declared
himself for the Second Amendment
at meeting at Kesler's Grove, and
a report comes to us from a reliable
source that while he was thus declar-
ing himself, he had some faIIous
