HE WANTED A LITTLE TIME.

A Democrat who heard something awful good in the City Hall yesterday morning started for Woodward avenue with his hat in -his hand. Meeting a straxger at the gate he swung his tile and called out; “We’ve met ’em!” “Yes.” “And won a glorious victory!” "Yes. It is the big gest tidal wave ever heard of.” “Just so.” ‘And it will sweep the Republican party off its feet.” “It will.” “And give us a Democratic President.” “I believe it.” “Then let’s give three cheers.” “I—l that’s a little too much.’ “How—why? Ain’t she glq rious?” “Yes, but you see I was a Republican up to midnight last night, and it might no be in any good taste for me to utter any Democratic yells before to morrow. I’m with you—l’m all right—but give me a little more time to get used to the new party.’ Detroit Free Press.
