 We present hesewifh the oplv porsr,;t eser publifhe6 cf the Hon. Ioe Mulhaf- nns 0. l., the candidate of the cum- mecM sraselers fpg president of fhe
 United Ssates. A the time and place cf
 MT. Mulhatfsn's birth depend aIone upoo
 his own assertions, t has been deesned
 best to omit any further reference shere1n
 It may be stated, however, that Mr. MuI-
 hastan will be eligible so the ures;drncv
 in point of age by the time of his elecfios
 thereto. His claims b the presidency
 had been up to certain period indis-
 putable. AS liar, plain and simple, for
 number of years he took the palm, and
 there were none to dispute his claim nn-
 al MT. Blaine began his career os men
 dacity and had himself written down in
 history as continental liar. Mir. Mol
 haitian has done good work in his line.
 His trst effsrt recounted a fearful con- test between a Cincinnati drummer and two highwaymen on Big Clify bridge. on
 the c., O. and s. W. railroad. This
 caught the press of the entire country. and put Joseph upon his mettle. Foliox- ing rapioly upon this came the discovery of wonderful cave, containing many mummies, and located in Barren county. 50 admirably was the story told-with such careful attention to scientific tech nique-that the scientists of the old world deiuged the little country postoffice near the alleged cave with letters of inquiry. Other stores of the same piece of cloth
 were rapidly invented, and when Mir.
 Mushattan changed his residence to
 Texas. he announced his intention to run
 Tom 0 -hiltree out of the state and take the belt as the champion liar of the world. His first exploit there was a me. teor yarn, ard again the scientists went down before his ingenuity. His meteor covered an are oi land. and buried be- meath 1t Mexican's house and family. Scarcely had the Texas press recovered frorn the assanishnseat produced by this phenomenal liar, than he was -eady for them again. ca the plains h. found a carriage beneath tree, which had been by lightning. The horses lay dead, and in the carriage sat bolt up- right the mummified corpses of an Eog- fish tourist and his family. The story crossed the ocean, and hundreds of let ters from England poured into Texas, written by the agonized friends of parties touring in, the United States. MT. Mul- haitian returned to Kentucky after this exploit and his only masserly piece of work since that time was his discovery of cave in Crayson county, leading to subterranean Arctic ocean, in which float great iceoergs. The circumstantial ac- count of the exploration was sent to the Chicago L1kty Oeean, which paper pub llshed 1t in full. and it was widely copied throughout the union as true story.
 Mir Mulha;tan has a genius fer this class of work, but does not seek to invent stories which shall harm others. This ske'ch is bare outline only of his genius 'or lying, but may serve to give the coun- ny an idea of the latest presidential can- didate. It should be stated in MT. Null aattan's behalf that he claims to be merely ! mancist and that he is but Dickens n another field.
