aud the whole Republican party. Near
the rear end a small. lean man, wear
ing beard. slouch hat, and Prince
Albert coat, appeared with tin box
N his hand. His name was little
johnnie Reilly, IL the Martinshurg
Herald. He appeared III tho gang
way expecting to be admitted as tho
others were, bnt he was rejected. Capt.
Wisner kindly informed him that he
must return his little box, as no could
moi take his Office along with him; and
Furthermore he could not 60 along I'M
less the whole crew consented as he
had helped cut him (Wisnerl down
with his little Ratchet. Johnnie sob
bed. and leaving his little box at the
wharf, at the Intervention Of Bowers
and Miller, Capt. Wisner consented to
lei him on.
Possibly an hours time was used in
making ready and seating the passen-
gers. Atabout 10 o'clock Capt. Wis
ner shouted Ready, Cast Adrift. T
Pilot Huber set to work ut once, and
in q few minutes the old ship was leav-
ing the wharf and grooming under its
heavy load. Hardly had she set sail
when the benighted crew began sob
bing and believing, as they turned
their gaze on their government idols,
and bid adien to wives aud children.
The sight was indeed . pitiful ono,
and could not help but touch the heart
Of the bitierest Democrat.
On they sailed until Bishops ware
house was reached, whom the Captain
ordered the Pilot to cast anchor, and
take on good supply Of protection
coal, sugars, coffees, etc. This done,
the old ship again set sail. AT Fitz's

At this point Andy Lambert climbed
on q store box and shouted, & Who
struck the G 10. Pr Hardly had the
words fallen from his lips when George
Bowers pulled him down, and took the
stand. Gentlemen" said he, /
think Wisner should stay out 81 poll
tics now. He has been up four or.fIye
times, and has been beaten every time.
He knows he can't DO elected to any
position, and why don't he stay DOWN.
Such nominations are what best the
Grand Old Party. Prolonged ap-
plause. 81.
Little Johnnie Bateman, who for
once in his life was as mum as an oy-
sier, Occupied near theeenter Of the
ship seat on an ash barrel. All at
once, as if struck by lightning, he
jumped to his feet and exclaimed
well, some Of you fellers have gotten
thegood Of the party, while we donethe
work" Then he spat and sputted. TIL
W.Shoher got mad ,threwup the sponge.
and again loneed to be q Democrat.
According to Wills idea, II the bal
ance Of the Republicans had worked all
over the country like John and himself,
the whole ticket would have been elect
ed bv an overwhelming majority.
In rear and Of the vessel were
grouped Nels. Page. Jake Turner. Rose
Pritcllard, Pent Williams. and others.
They were discussing the situation,
and agreed that their efforts had all
been in vain. Charley Lamar and
Wesley Kaufman assisted the captain
in keeping order, while Louie Gerharit
acted as private secretary, ON pros
pectiye salary 81 n 900 per year.
Writ Kittle, with grip in one hand
and an old umbrella IN the other, YEN
cd forth from > cheese box, I" Bowers,
that won't do. We don't want any
insinuationshere. Wianer would have
been elected il he had just got enough
