HOW THEY TAKE IT 
Many Republican papers take their recent 
defeat philosophically, and some even humor¬ 
ously. Vide this Illustrated item from the 
Rochester Evening Express: 
Our Poultry Show Is postponed this year on 
account of the weather. 1 his little rooster for 
a cent only puts In un appearance.

Address BUFFALO, N. Y. 
And the Democrat and Chronicle, (Rep.,) of 
ye same goodly city, Is responsible for the fol¬ 
lowing Items: 
Bring up the scalawags — Good heavens! we 
mean the stragglers. 
We are now prepared to wager a small sum 
on the result In this State. 
The ex-lionorable B. F. Butler doesn't believe 
In the Press. Good-by, General. 
Now then, to conclude this thing, JIlp—hip 
—h-l-i-l-p-p- Silence! This meeting Is ad¬ 
journed. 
He who lives to run away will fight again on 
some subsequent occasion. We forget the ex¬ 
act quotation. 
Vote for Smith! (We beg Smith’s pardon; 
but ’pon honor this Important paragraph was 
crowded out yesterday.) 
And the N. Y. Evening Mail (Rep.) thus 
Jubilates: 
It was considerable of a storm after all. 
If any one dares to mention “ Third Term "— 
'* Shoot him on the spot." 
Hooray for-1 Well, Hooray, for 
Jones ! We must “ Hooray " for somebody. 
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser (Rep.) Is 
responsible for these sparks : 
“ For of all sad words, by tongue or pen, 
The saddest are these, * Wo shan’t have Ben.”’ 
Et tu Jersey. 
All one way, isn't it? 
Who frowed dat las’ brick? 
Come now, let’s talk about something else. 
“Off years" had better be abolished alto¬ 
gether, if this is a sample. 
And here comes the Dansville Advertiser, run 
by a charter Republican—brother Bunnell— 
and thus explains how it all happened: 
If anybody says that we are responsible for 
the defeats In the different States we shall de¬ 
fiantly deny the charge. We told the Republi¬ 
cans to vote straight and they didn’t doit. If 
they had heeded our advice all would have 
been well. W hy didn’t you vote straight ? See, 
now, what has come of it. It Is positively 
shocking.

SUMERS ONLY (and allow no middlemen to make 
any profit on our Importations), wnich will enable 
us to supply them with Teas at prices lower than 
have ever been known, and of those fine qualities
