When the umpire Of base ball game
is found to have up a wager on the
winning side he is either mobbed or all
bets are declared off In consequence
and the chances are that he will not be
given another opportunity to umpire a
base ball game again in that neighbor-
hood. Now, supposing somewhat
similar case, if for instance, an alder
man should use bis influence with a
commissioner for the appointment Of a
certain man to position Is liquor agent
or any such similar position and suppos-
ing he had used his influence TO the OK
tent of having written a personal letter
to that commissioner. Surprising then
that the alderman. having come to the
conclusion that another man was to be
appointed, and being given an oppor-
,unity for a wager, supposing be
bet twenty FIVE Blackstone cigars
and "a quart Of run that the other
man would win. and then, finding
that if he should cast his ballot in fhe
meeting of his brother aldermen for the
man he had supported it would make
the vote tie, suppose he forgot
bis honor as a man and saved those
twenty-five cigars and that quart of rum
by voting accordingly. Suppose this 10
be true what would tho people Of the
city, over which that alderman helped To
rule, think of the chances of having
their wishes carried out according to
their vote.
