When 1 rc. turned I wuz coldly met. Looizer Jane wuz wasbin as yoosiial, only harder than fvfer, and I notist the childnen hed new flrocks ami shews. Tite fust afternoon 1 wuz at home I askt her in my old fatnilyer >way fora dollar and a halt, ez 1 wantid to the street. "That’s played!" she remnrkt. “ Hevn’t you got it?" I askt. “I hev,” she replied, “and I propose to ieep it. I hev diskivered suthin since Jbove bin gone. I heve found, that it’s *easv enuff to support myself and the children, washin atot dollar a dozen, but .add to that n hulkin tmni,-with a Rose like yoors, and it’s harder then I kecr. This house is mine—yoo can vacate.” Mud she calmly rung out a shirt e? tbo wat she sed wuz a common-place remark failed uv a practlkel diverse. Haft her. A feendisb Ablishnist hed I put this idea into her head ami she hed I actid onto it. Since tliat time 1 hev wendled sly way alone, subsistin by clutnv■■ EJMsiinism owe® me the home I hed. Al> Tislinism owes me the likker I ought to hev hed, out uv wat that woman hez. 'earned sence that crooel day. O wat a Tearflil debt to pay.

The J ctsit Democrat may ask wat I I want uv a noininashen when defeat is certin. It’s suthin to be a candidate. I aliood make, u tigrqus auupano. They nfasses in the rtmflnbdcesiriks doft'C atleir see a candidate for so high an ofiiis, alp! I shood beam onto cm all. Uv (Xturse 1 sh<s>d from this date to the seeofid Toosday in October hev free likker, Tlie rank and file wimhl esteem it an honor to drink with me, and 1 shood consider it a Convenience to drink with them. For two months 1 shood hev all I wanted, wich wood lie the happiest two months in my life. I shood probably dio Uv delirium, tremens, but I'Ctibd afford it Oh wat-a-gorgus prospeck! Oh wat an elysium! Kin the Dempcrisy uv Ohio be so itoocl ez to deprive me uv it? I kin at least hold the votes uv the hard-handid Dimocrlcy wich wuz knowed ez Coppcrhcds' doorin the war, and 1 ain’t see that we hev ever got any other kind, no matter •who we nominated. Es that element aint strong unuff to elect me, I spose 1 shood go to jine the unnumbered throng uv Dimocratic candidates who hev encountered defeat in the dreary years gone by, and whose ghosts still hover on the confines uv politlkle life. I submit this to the Diinoi raSy uy Ohio, feelin that I am askin only wat is my doo.
