Some Observations BY the Way.

Charley Patterson is busy man
these days, but it will not be a marker
to the activity that the Democratic
Napoleon" will manifest on election
day. They have him guessing this
trip.
The expected political sock will prob
ably be circulated among the faithful
democratic manipulstors in few days.
It is said to be fat, and much gain is
expected to be derived therefrom to
those who diligently and faithfully
perform what is required of them.
Officer Christley on the strength of
his having been a railroad man and 8
late convert from the republican side
will endeavor to handle the railroad
vote for "his whiskers. Though he
has been clothed to perform this duty
it is not thought that he can exercise
much influence,
It is predicted the grand fandango
and Mexican jolliication gathering
will take place Saturday and Sunday
nights under the auspices of''Charley,"
and the Gagged" participants will be
corralled until Tuesday when they will
be steered against the polls. It is ru-
mored police protection is assured.
