As forecasted In the illumi nated book of the opera, the third act of the Politico Melodramatic comedy opened in the Chamber of Horror, aenr the right hand entrance of the city hall, where tall swearing is done In all the languages by On aha votrrs who were too sick, too absent-minded or too far gone to present themselves for swearing on regular regis tration days. The Fontanello Indian band struck up "We Won't Go Home fntll Mourning." and the curtain rose with Little Blllee Edbourn, the stalwart cuHtodian of the scrolls, in the foreground. Presently a knock was heard. "Ontrny," shouted the scribe, who talka French on occasion and lisps In Italian. "What Is your further pleasure? We are ell at your service." Advancing two measured steps up toward the counter and tragically waving a huge folio of manuscript toward the scribe, the Salt creek seaman exclaimed: "Most worshipful and honored scribe: I come before you bearing the tearful and heartrending appeal of several hundred In dignant demo-pops and a corporal's guard of demo-republico kickers, who feel keenly the Indignity put upon me by one called Klopp, who tripped me with a ballot while I was on the political race track October 10, A.

There Is a well defined rumor In the streets that another aspirant Is filled with the ambition to set his sails for the water works port regatta. This Is no less a per son than Ernest Stnht, whose friends all over the city are said to have urged him to try his sea legs on the briny deep and register himself In the office of the city clerk as a 'democratic candidate with re publican proclivities.

This seemed to me very strange, to say the least. I listened also for the discussion of Issues, but failed to hear any. The talk about boodle and corruption was good, but It looks to me as though It would have been better to have said more about other public questions and something, at least, for the national ticket." Many old democratic war horses were "impressed" with the fact that the speeches made frequent mention of a for mer party nominee for president W. X Bryan.
