Ye candidate went forth to seek
For men who have a pull,
And of that kind, ye truth to speak,
Ye state was over full
And yet ye candidate was sad,
And for mans grace did beg:
Because ye pull these fellows had
Was ye pull upon his leg.

Ohio State Journal
Mr.. Welty is doubtless pleased with
the attention he Is receiving from Re-
publican papers and what tickles him
most is that he is always a millionaire.
He is known to the opposition as an
effective stumper and the plan probably
Is to keep him so busy counting his
money that he will have no time to
make speeches.
A slanderous report was circulated
last week in regard to a very respec-
table married woman on Front street.
In which 1t was alleged that she was
being supported by the trustees. It was
entirely untrue, as We know.ACanal

Here, Scott, what business has a man
Of your age and heretofore unsuspi-
cioned character to have such entirely

this sort? Your conduct is unprofss-

A KICK ON THE CENSUS.

situation.)
We're a-kickiH on the census count
here in McKinleyville,
The figures that they give out is
very bitter pill.
They show that riotous Akron has a
mighty big increase;
An Youngstcwn-well they must

But McKinleyville! The census shows
she hasn't grown at all,
An there's wrath I'm the town limits
clear to the city hall.
We can't see how they figger 1t, for II
has been our pride
That In the last ten years there's
hardly anybody died.
"A Few old people, to be sure, jest gasped
fr breath an went
An some other fellows won't be miss
ed-they didn't have a cent;
Ihe doctors and the midwives we been
workin' night and day
An they've ushered in a lot an lowed
but few to get away.
O course there's Grant and Collopy,
Harry Rex and Larry OToole
Who've not added to the census nor
sent child to school;
Then there's COYan ColnpaI uodo o1or
Ed. Langenbach, Bill Day,
Charley Lehman, Jacob Piper and
Reverend Hathaway,
Loo. McQuate and Edward Janson,
Frank Douds and John Fasnaught,
An they say that Charlie Upham
hasn't been patriot.

despise,
Are Ray Harbert, ]. A. weIker, "Aus"
McAllister and Judge Wise.

Nor are Standke, Levi Hartranft,
George Williams or DR.. Shoop.
Ralph s. Amber hasn't given any ev'-
dence o. might
An feller in the same fix Is Sup'rin-
tendent Wright.
But my! There's Pete McDonough's
twins an Obys little tot;
While others have had triplets
and the Lord only knows what.
An other babies! Man alive! You can't
walk anywheres
'Thout bump'in into kerriges with
youthful sons and heirs.
It's Jest a kid percession, I'm the school
house to Shocks mill
But none re in the census they
took o. McKinleyville.
The census mamie needn't say he
didn't see 'em all:
He might be blind, but surely he
could easy hear 'em bawl;
An that's why we're a kickin, on the
census mans report
We got a blame good notion fer to
take the case to court.
We think the census taker IL bloomin
