From a theatrical standpoint, it combines all the fea-! tures of comedy, farce, drama, and J even tragedy. Every campaign j furnishes illustrations of each, and j gives force to Shakespeare's truism J that "All the world's a stage, and , all the men and women merely play- j eis." Men of ordinarily {rood feel ing and generous nature ex.Tn 'over ; the fallen foe and the success of the . candidates to whom they were favor-1 able. Their exaltations at times is j almost unbounded, and is frequently j accompanied by sarcastic, and even bitter, allusions t*> the unfortunates who ave defeated. We sometimes think that if they could be {riven a ; glimpse within the home circle of ( | some of the victims on election night j they would there see something that would appeal to their better nature, and inspire them with such feelings of commisseration and sympathy as would very materially diminish their demonstrations of joy. Some how, when an election is over, our sympathies run toward the defeated men, and especially to their families. 00 Elections are great occasions days of reckoning, when officials are brought to account for their short comings, their long-comings and their comings-not-at-all. Then old grievances are squared up by means of the silent but painfully effective ballot. The slighted citizen, who i indulges the delusive belief that his party owes him something handsome in return for his years of steadfast swlherence and geometrically straight voting and good army record, but who imagines that that something has been withheld through the in difference or the animosity of some politicians of rank, seizes the oppor tunity to square accounts by voting ! against, and helping in every possi ' hie way to defeat the candidates of i his own party and help secure the election of his opponents,from whom he may expect nothing, but yielding gracefully to the inspiriting influence of the liquified electricity with which they are charged, proclaim them j selves in the Prohibition ranks. 1 00 It was amusing to listen to the ! ventilated grievances of two Demo , crats on election day in town. They j reasoned that their County Chairman i had been well stcaked to pay $2 a j vote but had failed to even liquidate I either of their larynx. They went J to their man but not being favored with their demands for some reason the tallying of votes demonstrate! that: "Time at least sets all things even. And, if we do but watch the hour.
