We are much gratifed to learn from
The New York Tribune that "the
democrats of New Jersey seem to be
following fast in the footsteps of their
quarrelsome brethren in Ohio. The
first thing that made Judge Hoadly
unhappy was his failure to secure a
state committee which was heartily
enlisted in his interest. A similar un-
happiness threatens Mr.. Abbott, the
candidate for governor in New Jersey
If the slate which is now made up
shall be finally appointed, Mr.. Abbott
will find that the men who are to man.
age his can vass are mainly his bitter
enemies This is hardly sure promise
of success. The cause of all this
trouble in the democratic ranks of two
states is the same. Neither the party
in Ohio nor in New Jersey has any prin-
c'ples worth mentioning or fighting for.
Under such circumstances canvass
naturally degenerates into squabble
for personal advantage between the
leaders OF the different factions" ToI
the same purpose The Washington
Republican, Il radical organ, cynicaily
remarks that 1.-THE Maryland democrats
are awfully harmonious-those of them
that are doing the talking. But you
just ought to see some of the sturdy
old farmers who believe in Gov. Ham
ilton. Their faces glow with honest
wrath, and if they 60 to the polls at all

I "You are a candidate for consta.
ble,'' said Colonel Ping'ory leaning
back in the chair he was sitting In, and
eleva:ing his feet to table near at
hand.
"Yes SIR"
..On the Fuller ticket 2"
"Do you want to be elected I"
"very bad"
"Well we just want to know how you
stand on this gate post question"
Bettersee now saw he was in fix.
His heart beat violently, and he hardly
knew what to do. He wanted to be
constable. and yet he hated to 60 back
on his friends.
"You see" said Col. Pinglory you
will fill a public Office and can send
your patronage wherever you please.
Before We will support you, we must
know that you you will not patronize
that thing called the Snowflake. and
will patronize the Crusteater."
And the colonel spit and nodded his
head, and all his friends expectorated
and nodded their heads. Bittersee
hardly knew what to do.
xviii you do what a committee of
three leading pullers say do 2" asked
Col. Pinglory.
That seemed fair enough, and Bet
tersee who had better see what he
was about, SAID:
"Yes."
swell I'll appoint the committee
when this campaign is over. But let's
have this all square now in black and
white"
Paper, pens and ink were procured,
and it was put in black and white.
Then Bettersee who still could not see
what the leaders were up to, signed it.
"Now keep this quiet" said Col.
Pinglory.
Bettersee fearing he had done wrong
to his friends suffered much anxiety.
The election came on. There was
hooting and shouting and working,
and hurrying, and pickering, and
quarre!ing. and pulling men aside.
Filling out tickets, scratching names off
tickets, and writing others on. Some
were drinking too much to be quiet,
and some had drank too much to be
noisy and one would have thought
the fate of nation depended on the
result of that days election.
It was over at last and Bettersee
was elected constable of Tanbark
Township. :

CHAPTER XIX
IN WHICH A NUMBER OF THINGS HAPPEN

IN WHICH A NUMBER OF THINGS HAPPEN
During all this time the Crusteater
had been making most bitter warfare
against the Snowflake. The latter post
had adhered to its original policy of
ignoring the Crusteater and making no
reply whatever to its furious TRADES.
The Crusteater strictly adhered to the
suggestions of Col. Pinglory and never
lost an opportunity to call its opponent
"long cared ass" non.de.scnpt,
donkey, a fool. and when he had used
up all these epithets commenced using
them over again.
1t seemed as if the place in which
Bittersalt kept his venomous epithets,
was rather shallow. and that he was
somewhat barren of resources, for he
invented Lothlng new. After he had
called Magrew a "long cared ass"
and the colonel aud his friends laugh
ed at the wit the expression contained,
he then called him "long cared nom
descript," which was thought quite an
original idea. The next issue Magrew
would be addressed as a donkey"
and the next the proprietor would fall
back on the first term to 60 over them
all again. Everybody but Col. Pinglo-
ny and his friends got tired Of these
terms, and quit gong to read what was
on the Crusteater, and went to see
what the Snowflake had on it. There
they found chaste pure language, every
thing harsh or vulgar was carefully ex-
plunged, and only the best essays,
poems, stories. news items and adyer.
tisements allowed to 60 on its smooth
white surface. Many Of the enemies
of the Snowflake were compelled to
admit its superiority over the Crusteat-'

ten is on the track. Take every ad.
vantage possible Of them"
Then the Colonel galloped away and
his friends each with paper and pencil
went to work. There were many
strange names on their papers, the re.
suit of an over excited fancy and zeal.
A few days after Wontllsten heard
that the Colone!'s time had expired,
and started for Rag.own.
There he found, Col. Pinglory with
Mr.. Pension at his side harranging tie

Wontlisten had been so rash as to
lose his toes in the war with the Set
tiers it was better to appoint Asusa,
especially as Mr.. Pension recommended
it, and the appointment was made.
We can not descibe the scene which
followed at Stringtown. when the Colo
mel brought back the news. A pound
and halt of fine cut tobacco was
chewed up and the Colonel and his
friends stood on the corner of the road.
and hooted, and ieered. and pointed
their fingers in derision at Wontlisten
as he hobbled by with his cane, and
putting their thumbs to their noses as
they passed the Snowflake wriggled
their fingers.
And Bittersalt had written in large
letters that Wontlisten was poor Office

did not appoint toeless man to Office
