THE ELEPIIANT.-Here is an Elephant.
See how Big he is. That long, timber
thing in front is not his Tail. because 1t IS
at the wrong End of the Elephant. Ii 1t
were at the other End it would be his Tail.
1t is not Rubber Hose, such as Flremen
use in pouring water on the Man who yells
ssfre.'' 1t is the Elephants trunk. He
always carries trunk when he travels.
But he never gets it checked on the Cars.
He keeps it under his Eyes, where he can
Watch it. His Trunk was never Stolen,
nor burst open by the wicked baggage
Man. He keeps his clean shirts and HAIR
brush in his Trunk. Once a Baggage Man
tried to break open an Elephant trunk,
and the Mans Widow now takes IN sew
ing The Elephant is native OF Oshkosh
He was caught with rope while packing
his Trunk for Railroad Trip.

The Three-Legged Ticket in the Field.
Various reasons and circumstances com.
PEELED a large number of Democrats in Ohio
to declare open hostility to the denomination
of Governor Bishop and Lieutenant-Gov.
ernor Fitch, who had been elected in 1877. By
some 1t was surmtsed that Governor Bishop,
II he were elected, you'd enter the field for
President in 1886, and events proved that he
was a candidate for yice-President that year.
Dissatisfaction with some of the Governors
appointments created q bitter feeling toward
him, but, perhaps, the true reason Of his de-
feat for denomination was the opposition
In C~uyahoga County to Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Fftch's renomination. He had
a~ntagonized the wishes of a large majority
of the active Democrats in Cleveland by op.
posing q reorganization project. They unhes.
itatingly declared they would not support
him, and the nomination of Governor Bishop
would carry with it Q denomination of Gem
eral Fitch. The opposition in Cuyahoga
brought out az q candidate against Bishop
General A.v. Rice, of Putnam. and when the
convention assembled at Columbus there was
q. warm and animated struggle. James B.
S~teedman. of Toledo, was the presiding officer.
1t became evident that there was a warm
feeling among some of the Democrats for
THOMAS EWING,
OfFairnelds and when the contest was hottest
and between Bishop and Rice. Ewing's name
was swung In as q compromise candidate.
The Thurman-Thompson men made q desper-
ate rally for Rice. but the Bishop people, see
ing that their candidate was losing ground,
wheeled and voted for Ewing and nominated
him. The scene in that convention that day

To be brief. After many ballots Ohio found
