"And you've called to pay IT," says Mr. o'Meagner'
taking up his list and his pencil i've been expect
ing you.
"Ah, yes to be surc, of course I was going to
propose a-er settlement"
"A what!' says Mr.. O'Meagher, sharply.
Mr. wimples mops his brow. Tho fact is he
says al don't happen to have so considerable sum
as $4,000 at tho-er, moment, and was thinking OF
suggesting that Just pay you, say, $4,000 down.
and give you two-er notes.
"'Twon't do,' says Mr.. o'Mcagher. shaking his
head and fetching his pencil down upon the table
with a smart tap, " 'twon't do at all.'
"Eh? Endorsed, you know by
Mr. wimples that $4,000 in hard cash must DO

"Or your name goes Of the tickct.'
Mr. w!mplcs groancd grasped the whisky bottle,
poured out copious draught, tossed 1t down his
throat bowed meeky and withdrew. In the vestibule
he met the Hon. PerAdus Brace, the Mayor OF tho
city, whose term Of Office about TO expire, and as
TO whose denomination there was going on q heated
controversy. Mr.. Brace a reformcr. 1t was as
q reformer that he had been elected two years before
At that tine Mr. OMeagher found himself menaccd
by strange peril. It had been alleged by Jealous
enemies that no corrupt and they called loudly for
reform. At first Mr. O'Meagher experienced some
difficulty in understanding what was meant by corrupt
and what by reform His mission In lie, rs he
understood Il, was to name the individuals who
should hold the citys Offices and to control their
official acts in the interest OF Tammany Hail. and he
had great difficulty in comprehendng how 1t could be
anybodys business that he had grown rich performing
his mission But percelving that large and danger

concluded TO humor It II he could find good safe
rcformor on whom he could rely. In this emergency
he had produced the Hon. Perfdius Brace.

When the Democratic party came into
power about three years ago it found the
offices of the country in the hands of the Re-
publicans with hardly an exception in all the
land. President Cleveland made no whole
sale changes which would have badly de-
moralized business and detracted from
official efficiency. This course was not ap-
proved by a large class of radical Democrats
who after quarter century of Republican
rule were eager to apply the sentiment of
Democratic saint, "To the victors belong the
spoils." The Republican papers were not
slow to taunt the Democrats that the pros
perity of the country required the keeping
of Republicans in Office because Democrats
possessed neither experience or competency.
Well, the President has gone to work slow
ly but surely and seems to have found both
experience and com potency within the Demo-
cratic ranks, for the affairs of the Democatic
Government were never more ably and efici-
emily administered than they are at present
and as for the number of Democrats now in
office the following table may prove inter-

~ Geyser is catching it all around. Last
week he sent out a card, or something like a
card, but in reality amixed up mess of words
the sense of which was incomprehensible to
the average mind. One was sent to that
straight-from-the-sho Republican sheet
the Bowling Green Sentinel, on which the
editor commented as follows:
"In another place we print letter from
Senator Geyser. Just what the senator is
driving at we are at loss to understand, but
he probably means it as defense for boiling
the regular caucus nominees at the beginning
of the session, and for kicking up his sena-
torial heels pretty generally ever since. AS
card writer, able to make himself under
stood, Senator Geyser is not a success, and
if he will lend us his confidential ear a
moment we will whisper in it some good
natured advice about like this: Stop writing
apologies; get down on the right side of the
political fence and go to work for the
interests of the district; vote hereafter with
the Republicans and always bear in mind
that mugwumpry is very distasteful to a
large majority of the Republicans of Ohio"

.3y~ In looking over the columns of the
Signal last week, we see that our old friend
Humphrey has broken out again, over the
nom de plume of "Just So," discarding that
of ''Tax Payer" and the numerous other
signatures he has assumed. We were some
what at a loss to comprehend how the re-
hashed stuff was allowed to find place i'll that
journal, even if it did appear over bran new
signature, unless the editor was bamboozled
into the belief that over the unique and pert
disguise of "Just So, no one would recognize
our old Republican friend VIM. Humphrey,
who has misrepresented and prevaricated so
much that he has been justly dubbed public
nuisance.
| The naughty Democrats are continual
worry to our old friend, but we fail to re-
member of him making any distinction when
he wished to dispose of his Bohemian oats
and fruit trees. A Democrat then was as
good as a Republican.
He has a hobby that the Democrats are
bound to bankrupt everything, and he il
riding it for all there is in it. Democrats
don't pay any taxes, therefore don't take any
interest in county affairs, only so far as to
squander money, which all comes from Re
publican pockets, of course! But to be can
did, friend Humphrey, don't you believe
Democrat is Just as capable of conducting
business as q Republican, and don't yor
honestly believe Democratic set of count!
officials are Just as capable to govern TIN
county as a Republican set would be? Botf
pay taxes, are equally interested in the coun
Il ty, then what folly it is to assume that on
or the other is only striving to bankrupt tn
county! Yet, this is the only construction
one can place upon Mr.. Humphrey g palaver
q OF course his prejudiced POLITICAL min'
won't let him acknowledge as much, an
