THE ADULLAMITES.
Every One That was in Distress and
Every One That was in Debt, and
Every One That was Discontinued,
Gathered Themselves Unto Him."
(Continued.)

At the appointed time the meeting
was called to order by Loquacious Moses,
who addressed the meeting as follows;
'Fellow-citizens: l feel the liveliest
satisfaction l assure you, in meeting you
here this evening. feel assured
by your coming together this even
ing, knowing who you are to meet,
that you will stand together at the
polls. l commend your forbearance
toward each other. When l see such
men as Garibaldi and Charley the
Trooper striking hands, think it tore
shadows the Millennium" (Cries Of
down with the missionary. 81 beg
your pardon gentlemen. As | was going
to say when l see the Scion from Wai-
| amaze, reconciled with General Detici-
| ency, it seems to foreshadow victory
at the polls" CDeafening applause).
This, gentlemen, is the spirit in which
you must work. Lay aside all past diff
ierences.n (Applause). Forget that
there is past and that you and your
associates have any past records" Gap
plause and cries of hear, hear. Lay

political differences and principles, and
work only for victory" prolonged APP
plause and cries of hear, hear. In NOM
mating ticket tonight | hope you will
keep constantly in mind getting votes,
LAYING all other considerations aside"
The Elder sat diligently rubbing his
knees in nervous expectancy, while
Garibaldi near at hand twirled his sym
pathetic moustache and glanced furtively
about with an oblique grin on his classic
| countenance. When Moses ceased speak

| smirk and a bob here and bob there

delft little pleasanty,whieh all seemed TO

A momentary pause ensued during
which all seemed Illuminating on the
prospect of a nomination ON the ticket SO
auspieiously startled, when, 10, Carl
haldi slowly assumed standing posi-
ton, not as military and erect as OF yore,
being apparently stricken with "la
grippe" and after hemming and wiplng
his hands as though washing the past
away, spoke as follows;

what the great and only original Moses
is saying"
GAS was just saying, natives all want
poi. Its a national dish, and we must
| have one man on the ticket whom the
natives will consider a national candi
date, and so as we cant find anyone else
for District two present the name of
W. H. Poipalau. And now, continued
Moses, let us make this nomination
unanimous"
Whereat Poipalau, being something of
dark horse, was nominated with great
enthusiasm, the applause evidently serv-
! ing as means of relief to the depressed
spirits of the weary workers.
At this point Cuspidor stepped quietly
up to the table and held whispered
conference with Moses, all others main
tanning a respectful silence. Then Moses
arose and addressed the meeting as fol-
| lows:
Gentlemen, it seems to me that you
are about to forget that our ticket was to
represent no class, clique, set, doctrine,
principle or policy. Now, you all know
