strengthen the faith of the wavering, he
decided to give grand elbow out" the
night before election. His friends
gathered from near and far. There
were solids and liquids to the hearts

hospitality was to be reciprocated by
solid poll of Democratic votes. The
morrow came and behold John was
officiating as one of the judges of
election. His power was dwarfed, but
trusting to the acclamations of Joy that
resounded through the banquet hall, of
the night before, he felt confident of
the result. The day dragged wearily
along, and when the hour for counting
the ballots had arrived, the most of his
friends had departed to their quiet
