OLD GREEN HORN.

"at."Although somewhat surprised
at the result, yet we never antlcl-
pated such an easy victory as II
great many did, knowing as we ana
that we were contending with an
opponent wide,awake and always
on the alert and with all somewhat
INSCRIPTIONS as to the means used
to insure success.
The only really sensitive nerve
possessed by some people is the one
running down into their pockets
and they only realize the necessity
of doing something when it begins
to cost them something. We are
inclined to think this class Will be
fully aroused before next election
or would be If the cops had things
in their own hands which we are
i clad to know is not the case as yet.
The cops have since the election
formed themselves into sort OF a
mutual admiration society. They
are naturally considerably elated
over victory which was nearly as
great surprise to them as it was
to us. The certainty of getting to
feed at the crib again is very
gratifying thing, having been cu'
off from it for two gears past by a
barbed wire fence. No doubt the
poor fellows were getting pretty
hungry and they can not be blame
for rejoicing, for perhaps 1T Is the
last opportunity they will ever gel
at offices.
There is one consolation about
the republicans elected. They seen
to be pretty good fellows and nc
doubt will make good officers. We
hope 50 at least, so far as our coun
tv officers are concerned. A mans
politics cuts no figure if he is ar
honest man and capable of trans
acting the business pertaining t(
the office, he is all right.
"Populism dead since the cleo
tion," Did we hear some one say
Not much Mary Ann. More alive
than ever. The populist party
thrives on such as this. 1t woulo
not amount to much if it did moi
get backset occasionally. Reason
ing in a logical way, there is never
an effect without a cause.
Now, in this defeat, we can PLAIN
" see the effect and we must make
4 search for the cause and remove
it so that such a thing may not
happen again. Let all the reform
forces get together-organize them
selves and begin the campaign
now. (Thats our sentiments to a
dot.--Editor.) If we do this, we
this we will be pretty hard to beat
in 1900.
An addition to the family OF
VIII Prewitt lately in the shape OF
nice little girl baby. viii is to
be congratulated upon his success
in this line.
And still the good work goes on
John Filler, in reckless way has
added another boy to his establish
ment. A fine bouncing fellow
weighing 10 lbs.
Well, Flummerfelt and Fogarty
got there anyway. Nobody can
eainsay the fact that they are two
as good men as can be found in
the country.
In the recent election, quite a
number went square back on their
political records. One prominent
citizen. which amounts to the same
thing, was recently heard to say
that he was born of democratic
parents, rocked in democratic
cradle and raised on democratic
pabulum, but he was henceforth a
democrat no more. Now as we
know this same prominent citizen
halls from North Carolina we are
inclined to the opinion that he was
rocked in tar barrel and brought
up on mOon-shine whiskey.
