left no choice to delegates between the policy
of a seperate ticket and a selection of a can

that the present Convention was called to

man, who pe Imps had splashed him with
his mud shovel, or the like. Dustman
would make no apology; willing to try a

him suddenly by the back of the breeches,
whirls him aloft, in horizontal position,
pitches him into his own mud cart, and
walks on.”—Exchange.
