AFTER THE OFFICES.

The leaders of the Ohio Democracy
would like it understood that the aspira-
tions of their candidates are induced by
philanthropic interest in preventing
the country from going to smash. The
fallacy of this pretention is apply illus
tr ated in Chauncey Depew's woodchuck
story, which is as follows:
The teacher of a district school up at
Pc ekskill called up the three brightest
boys in his class one day and said:
"Tom, you are Republican,
eyes, SIR"
"And Jim, you are Prohibitionist?'
''Yes, SIR"
"And Sam, you are Democrat?"
eyes, SIR"
"Well, now, the one of you that can
give the best reason why he belongs to
his party can have this woodchuck
caught on my way to school this morn.
ing. Now, Tom, why are you Repub-
lican?'
81 am Republican," said the boy,
"because the Republican party saved
the country in the war, abolished slav'
cry, and brought about the resumption
of specie payments; and has done every
thing for the good of the country
"That's very good" said the teacher
Snow, Jim?"
81 am Prohibitionist, sad Jim
glibly, 'because rum is filling the jail'
and filling the poorhouses, and viii
ultimately ruin the country, and If We
would have prohibition we would moi
need any prison or poorhouse. Every
body would be well OFF,"
"That is a good reason" said the
teacher. 'Now, why are you Demo
crat, Sam?"
swell, sir" was the reply, 81 am 1
Democrat because 1 want that wood
chuck"
