Before and After.

Before Gribley’s election, a citizen says: “That fellow, he hasn’t got sense enough to shake when he has a chill. He-should never be elected,” After Gribley’s election: “Yes, he is elected, and in my opinion will make a fine officer. I have always been his friend, and I regard his success as a great triumph of brains.” —Arkansaw Traveler.
