er together his hOcks and herds, his

j. III. Fleisher's folks have an organ.
We are we'll acquainted with j, b s..
musical prOclivities, and, As cOngenial
spirits naturally gravitate toward each
other, and he tells us that the latch
string is always out at his house, we
shall perhaps hear the notes Of that or
gan quite frequently.
NJ. OsbOrn's folks also have an or
gan. They are quite unsteady inclined
and show good taste in securing the
means whereby they may improve
their talent. They say that Mr.. Osborn
is practicing, so that he may be able,
after the election, to peal forth peans
Of victory or notes OF despair as the
case may be.

The Mound township Republican

Republican caucus, and all democrats
and greenbackers were requested not
TO vote, yet, being urged on by their
leaders, by the sOphistry that voting
for Republican delegates made them
Republicans, they had the brazen cheek
TO carry them on, aud PERSISTED In VO-
ting in tbs face Of the protests Of some
OF our townships best Republicans. No
Republican objected TO the delegates
chosen, but they do object TO members
of other parties setting up their candi-
dates for them, believing that Repubi-
cans are capable OF running their own
machine. We know that thsre are a
number Of democrats aud greeubaekers
who win. (as they are not devoid Of
principal, )fsel that they were ont Of
their own pens, and as q matter Of
course, viii feel aWfuliy mean. To
those we offer the following words OF
consolation; You were mean, VERY
mean, but you were GOOD, boys. COM
pared to those $50 called1 Republicans
who urged you to do as yon did.
