They have come, and they have
gone. Like beautiful spring flower.
the politicians aud the 2gth of MAY
have wandered Oh their weary way,
leaving hut the aroma of cigar stunips
and dreamy, hazy. far-away mem
ory OF brass bs.nds, public speaking,
orange peel and peanuts. They have
recited their little pieces, and as the
spirit moved them, poured forth elu-
quent appeals for party aud principle,
or ptherwise augercd wenry but
klndly-disrnsed and forgIving public,
with "what | will do for my cuiistltu-
ents,n springlng upon them this and
and other well-rOasted and time-N orn
"chestnuts,p = to which the people have
become accustomed, ditto the measles,
as time aud circumstances may brln q
forth. But yet the Brownsville public
should not eompaili, they have been
treated to variety, the spice of life,'
aud have enjoyed af almost interrupt
ed How of, In many cases, most cnl-
phntic harangue from the confident,
massive-framed, two hundred pound
er, who, with chest expanded, elevat-
ed head, and arms that cut the air,
gave gratultous information In regard
to the s'sulidlty and certain success of
the partyu and who, when red In the
face, and short of wind, made way
for the little, mild, low-spoken man,
who would ask the kind Indulgence Of
the assemblage, as he said good word
for that highly respectable old lady,

process, of moultlng, and consequently
being en- dish9bitte, falls for this reason
To put in an appearance during this
political campaign. Another blnst
from the well-polished horns, and an
other aspirant to office steps TO the
front, blandly smiling as he pours forth
a eonciliatory address, the sum and
substance of which Is, that he buried
the party hntchet, and with truly
benevolent purpose works only for the
fright man I'm the right D ace and on
reflection II convinced that he himself
Is the right man, and would willingly
accept the right place, or any other
with fat salary attached. Then we
have the man who agitates the labor
question for the benefit of his fellow
man. But as for himself he Is I'm favor
of laboring but on and excepting GER
tain days of the week: these are holi-
days, days of public speaking and the
balance ofthe days. During the time
that may intervene he thinks labor
beneficial to the average American
free man. Again, we have the speak
er, who, with much agitation and nerv-
GUS tremor, tries to advance an opinion
relating To something or somebody,
and being terribly undecided In what
he was trying to talk about, soon had
his listeners in the same condition,
aud Is happy - think that he has al
last made an impression, that the en-
tire assenhlage agree with him for
once, & e., that he had better be at home
splitting wood for Senephena Amanda.
These and many more types are to be
found during canvass, and when
taken I'm connection with the shoulder
hitter, the boyeotter, the confidaut
and assuming, the timid and retiring,
the bondholder, the monopolist, the
manipulation, the bHlldozer, the curb
stone, free cigar smoker. the man who
Is willing to finger political money,
hut generally gets left, the positive
man, the timid man, the man who
can secure votes. the man who gives
points aud never refuses TO drink, as
they pass i'm review form panorama,
which IL not equal to views IN the holy
land for the instruction of Sabbath
school children, who will be admitted
at half price, procession as neatly
and varied as some OF the assertions
made by the candidates, the only color
OF whose nose bellies their assertions.
