Show TAKIXQ TUB POLITICAL Our gray-hernled reporter, he with the flowing white locks and venerable corporation in front, was around yesterday yes-terday evening taking tho political senc of the city. Ho reports mighty littlo sense aoywhero ; says ho could only find four straight-out Grant-men, whilo fivo expressed thamselves that they didn't care a semi-hemispherical expletive whether Bchool kept or not Of the. five, threo wero Republicans, and two Democrats. The number of Grceley-mco ho counted at for a while and then gave it up. One gentleman, an old-fashioned Democrat, very emphatically em-phatically consigned Greeley to a region supposed to bo a trifle hotter than New York in the dog days, where the roses undoubtedly breathe a sulphurous perfume; and intimated that said locality would havo a tolerably tole-rably durable coating of ico before he would vote for Greeley. Another, an old Republican, flatly declared the nomination of Greeley meant his election in November. While still another, of tho samo school of politics, said he was a Lincoln man, and when told that Greeley had been a Lincoln man too, responded that he had a sympathetic feeling for Undo Horace, as he was not pathetically attached to anybody that always contrived to give something where thcro was a fair certainty cer-tainty of moro being returned. Tackling Tack-ling a delegate to tho late Philadelphia convention, that gentleman seemed to be troubled with the tenderfoot and halted as if inclined to change his position. posi-tion. ' Numbers of Democrats shouted lustily for tho old Abolitionist, and al though tho colored troops hereaway havo not yet been called upon, there is no question but Groeley stock is considerably con-siderably above par in this burg. P. S. The white-haired reporter didn't consult more than two or three Mormons, knowiog they were political nobodies, but generally confined himself him-self to the Gentile side of the house. |
