 the conclusion that they sprang from the

She had no cafnpro- mise io make with any raTty that was not

 was wealthy, highly respected. and well equipped tn perform any duty that might
 fall to her lot. She had very large family of sons, the most of whom psrteok largely os the old lady's nature. She lived however, in aistric. that was Republican. by a small majority. There was to l~ an election held to Ill the vari- oas offices. She calls her sons together.
 Now boys you are the wealth and intelll- genee of the district, So you count your
 selves in. That Is what cali a fair count, all things considered.
 Now. the old lad, had two boys, Dick and Harry. who were little waywar,l. She could not trust them, only for certain purposes. They were experts. however, on election days. They could count their own party in. and the ''rads" out. and cry out. ''a fair count with such q pleasant smile that you would readily believe that they felt they were the most innocent erea- tares on earth. We'll. after making "a fair count" for a number of years. Dick and Harry came 10 the conclusion that they were prc-eminently qualified for some high position. They began to feel that they were the two brightest stars in the whole constellation. So they go to the old
 lady. and say. Hook here. man. We want some hig office, and we must have it."
 Well, boys, you know what the rulings of the Democratic party have been since the foundation of the government. You must prove yourselves trustworthy trst.r ''The d-l you say, ii we have 10 wait that long the chances are we will never get anything. Now look here. old lady. if you don't give us something we will 20 over 10 the republicans and will tell them just how mean you are. You stun ballot boxes. you count out. and. in fact. you are too mean for anything that is good. ; Very well, II you think that 1 am going to violate any of the Democratic principles, to gratify your ambition. you are very much mistaken. Ky the way, boys. what are you going to call yourselyesgr "Demo- crats." ''lf yon are Democrats. why not stay with ne s'' .sYes, but you will no, let us have any Of the finances. It's the money We are after" So away they gu for republican headquarters. Now the Republican party in this district Is com posed principally Of negroes. with a very light snrinkting of whites. Among the whites. there is one Jim Fisk, who has ac- cumula,ed considerable property. He Is considered the head of the party. Dick and Harry approach him, with smile, and say. look here, Jim the old lady has become So contrary, we can't do anything with her. In fact. she Is mean all over. The election Is coming soon, and you put ticket in the iieii, and We will help you down the old lady. What do you want me to do that for, are you not the very boys that have been counting us out for io these many yearsS~ 'sYcs, but Jim, let us tell you. we are going 10 give you one of the best paying offices in the whole lay out. We will take tise nex, and give the negroes the sail end. so keep them in good spirits and make them think they arc equal to us.- We'll, Jim loves chicken pie. and he has not heard dinner horn In all his life that sounded more pleasant io his ear. So they go into the fight. inscribed en their banner flair count" and of course they counted themselves in. The next elocssGn. however. they told the darkies to get tc the rear and remain there that Jim. Dick and Harry wanted ali the offices them selves.
