KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 20.-Now it
came to pass In the first year of the
reign of Grover, the Reformer, that a
great and mighty tumult arose, and the
people did clamor throughout the land
to go forth and possess the country and
it's offices; yea, even the fat offices
that were to be bestowed on Democrats
and such as were worthy to stand in
the presence of the mighty ruler did
make haste and borrow money TO get
them to Washington. Not only did the
people congregate at Gotham, but at
the wayside mt throughout the land
even unto Missouri and jefferson City
thereof. And it pleased the governor
and committee, and the whole people
were called together, even the Demo-
cratic people, to say in convention who
should rule this people. And even the
people of Audrain did assemble; yea of
the town of Mexico. Many were called
and few were chosen, IA those who
are worthy. Now in the county they
do strive and wrangle who shall be
called, and both Cog and Magog mingle
together and wonder whether they be
one of whom or which. And no man
knoweth whereof he wrangleth or unto
what end, for one man saith, "Lo, ! am
he," and another, 10, | am ne" And
the people are muchly mixed. Now
BENJAMIN the drummer hath no oppon-
ent, neither hath him who walketh
upon one leg and doth record the deeds.
Neither should they have, for..great and
good do they stand before the people,
even the whole people. And So also
doth John of the tribe of Atchisons,
who stoppeth the hayward IN his wick
edness and is a stumbling block to him
who doeth.wrong. Verify, goodness and
greatness overwhelmed him. Selah.
Now Benjamin of old-he that keepeth
the county records-is not as he that
runneth the race alone, for David, a
= pedagogue of NJ mean repute, otfereth
himself for county clerk and chief boss
book.keeper. Therefore choose ye, oh
my people, whom We ought to boss
BENJAMIN or David. Now cometh Or
llando, akin TO him that gIindeth. Ill
seeketh to be chief prosecutor II tn
county. Worthy and good is he and al
a~bomination is he INTO the evil doe
I and man of wicked ways. See, oh, III,
people that he maketh his calling an
election sure. Now divers and sundr,
are they that clamoreth af er the coun
ty reyenue and collection thereof, 70
near and dear are the people to them
and a new song is in their mouth an
= honey and sweetness cUineth there
from. Selah, James, who worketh a
dentistry Dick, who once fed the mi
-, lion; Johnnie, who ramb'ed for year
laying tribute upon the land, and Hop
e kins, who calleth loudly from the west
and others to heal from do clamor loud
q Iy for the spoils, and the song {
each and all, from governor to night
i watch, is in the language Of the Psalm
list:
r How do you do. sir, how do you do,
How-s your wife and how are you?
% Are all the little ONES rom pain qaite free
Now. please sir. won't you vote for meP
And the whole populace standet
