Almost Tuckered Out.

The corporation election will bo held Monday, with two or more tickets in ilitT field. Immense interests are at issue and extraordinary effoils will be made by tbe democracy to elect a mongrel ticket with a nntjori.y pledged to promote the private interests of a select few. They are prepaied to “scoop things this I'me” aud boast to the world of '-another great democraUc victory over f aud and corruption in a stronghold of nidi calks at!’’ As usual the nationals will not support any man for office who is not pledged io the Toledo pin. form, but they will vote the democratic tiefcot ail •he same. For the seventh or eighth rime the grizzly hero of Pogue's llun wants to be town marshal some more. That office chases him like a nigger after "a ’possum up a gum tree, and it has the aged hero nearly tuckered out this time. Guess it win ca.ch him, , It is su’ prising how an ofi.ee wi l ! sometimes get right down from tiic f ont pon'h and chase and worry a man, out into >hc gu.den, around iho pear tree, behind the currant bushes, over ;he onion had, be.ween the corn lows, uniter the barn through the fence cracks, out into the streets, around the fields, up i'i'l and down dale—relentlessly, remorselessly, tireloes’y, unceasingly—uutil its victim is completely exhausted and falls a helpless prey to ruthless, heartless, unfeeling office! Poor old victim! He’s nea’ly tuckered! Tnc office, i amperageous, It .is foam upon its lip; Ami roll a yard of sidewalk It clears at cv’rv skip!
