in Jackson Ward. while others are In

The Luck Of Mayor Hart.

conducted his own campaign in a
mastery manner. The situation was
peculiarly delicate. Normally, Boston
is Democratic, but at the December
elections there was bolting wing Of
the Democracy that threatened at the
first sign of a mistake or the utter
ance of an unwise sentiment to return
its allegiance to the Democratic can
didate. Mr. Hart therefore planned
for a short campaign with few speech
es. There were no mistakes, and the
bolting Democracy elected Mr.. Hart.
When 1t was "all over but the
shouting" Mr.. Hart, in conversation
with one Of the Republican leaders,
said
This campaign reminds me of the
old southern darky who was brought
before the court for stealing chick
ems"
"In what way?" some one asked.
why, the judge asked the old man
looking at him sharply and speaking
in his steTnest manner: Were you
ever in court before for stealing
chickens?"
No sab, said the colored brother
with a grin; Use been mighty lucky,
