The reporter heard good one yesterday
on a well-known business man and official
in this city. It was in the campaign Of
1855. Farmers were busy threshing and
stacking grain and all that. The gentle
man went out to Goddard in his canvass.
Here he found Orrin Herrin who runs
livery stable in that town. The candidate
asked him whether he was a good hand at
stacking, feeding a threshing machine, at
blowing, at the mower and other sundry
occupations that the farmer was engaged
in at that time of the year. After agreeing
that he was a man for all this he went out
with the candidate. At one place he
found the farmer busy feeding threshing
machine or blowing or moving. Ofcourse
the farmer was invariably too busy to talk
politics when the all-rouud man went out,
did his work, gave the farmer chance to
talk politics for half an hour and then
drove of, having secured his man. II is
needless to say the politician got there"
