i!C IlttllItlcSS illl llc kllOWU,
My palace Is the peoples hall,
The ballot-box my throne
Who serves to-day upon the list
Beside the served shall stand;
Alike the brown and wrinklcd fist,
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor,
The weak is strong to-day
The sleekest broadcoth counts no more
Than homespun frock Of gray.
To-day let pomp and vain pretencc
Ny stubborn right abide;
set plain mans common-sensc
Against the pedants pride.
To-day shall simple manhood try
The strength of gold and land,
The wide world has not strength to buy
The power in my right hand!
While there's grief to seek redress
Or balance to adjust;
While weighs our living manhood less
Than mamnon's vilest dust,
While there's a right to need my vote,
wrong to sweep away,
Up. clOuted knee and ragged coat.
A mans man to-day.
Those living near the polls should
vote early, so that others who want to
make a days work may have plenty
Of elbow room during the later hours.
The indications are that the "of-
fensive partisans' will ''cut the tick
et'' to considerable extent.
Hence, it will take some time to
count the vote. Definite news will
be scarce until Wednesday afternoon.
This for the benefit of those in the
habit of staying up all of Tuesday
night.
a. Beall McKaig. democratic nom
inee for State Senate, has been forced
into the position of responding or, at
his peril, declining 10 respond to sort
of interlocutory decree. "a Reform
Democrat' propounds to him the fol-
lowing question;
VIII you, if elected, in compliance with
caucus dictation or under any clrcumstan ces
which may arise, vote for ArthurP. German
for United States Senator?
1t is made incumbent upon Mr..
Mckaig to answer, and to answer yea
or nay. In connection with some as
ISOLATED remarks unfriendly to Mr..
German, ii is shown chat the GnimuS of
the court partakes Of hostility to that
gentleman.

1t IS not generally known that there
are poets in the coal trade. The fol-
lowing sample showeyer, is taken from
Il Buffalo correspondent Of the New
York Engineering and Mining JoalHaj
We're | the King OF france.
Or the blessed Pope of Rome,
ia have no empty ears abroad
Nor loaded cars at home
/ would have thc railroad run
As fit had a soul,
Give dispatch to every onc
And especially to coat.

\ merchant alone in a dcsulule store
Sang "Wiliow, tit-willow, tit-willow.'
l said to him why are you pacing the floor,
Singing Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow?'
ALAS - he replied as he smothered his cries,
Il thought it was nonsense to advertise,
And now I've no custom at all but flies,
Oh willow, ;it-wiilow tit-willow."
y Buffalo coal dealer says there
are few ears at our disposal; what
could be obtained have been taken by
the anthracite men prices are no bet
ter or worse; demand increasing and
manufacturing interests show good
! Improvement the railroads haul for
nothing and the dealers are selling
without profits 1t looks like there
will be hard times this winter outside
the coal regions.

My aims were pure and high;
| used to think their slender points
Were close against the sky.
1t was . childish innocence,
For now they fall kcrAump;
know that honest men condemn
The wandering mugwump.
