8, CARRYING elections. That is the ad-
mission Of practical politicians on both
sides. In the shortest canvass the
boar5inss can be covered with pic
,orial caricatures and scores of small
cartoons can be sent to every registered
voter The Unionists have been taken
bv surprise, and their stock of remainders
from last year is tattered and forlorn.

side and with their audacious swagger;
but their faces were too Yacuous to sug-
gest heartless despoilers Of tenants and
wicked conspirators against Constitu-
,ional rights. After twelve months Of
-.Limehousing'' and duke batting" they
are now exhibited as the hoary old vii
laius of political melodran1a, blocking
