Some Of the swiftest kind of re.
partee comes out in political cam

binders who address open air meetings
and their audiences. Inside a hall the
average New Yorker feels difHdent
about interrupting the speaker with
questions or comments, but when
standing in q crowd in the street his
nerve is generally with him, and many
a sharp crossfire of verbal missiles re-
suits. The recent campaign in this
city was no exception, says the New
York Tribune.
A Tammany orator, who is also a
petty officeholder, drawing salary and
"perquisites" from the city, had been
fervently urging a crowd at the Bow
cry and First street to support
Croker's ticket, ignoring for ten min
utes frequent questions shouted at
him which he did not care to answer.
At last his temper got the better Of
him, and, singing out one of his tor
mentors, who had been especially
vociferous on the subjects Of "1ee" and
"Ramapo," he shouted:
