Too Much Politics For Him

Gustave Henman has been a tailor on Washington street for some years and by industry and economy has paid for a home and laid by a nice little sum of money for a rainy day. He was an arüent republican and claimed to have done much for Harrison's election. A son and heir, he has named Benjamin Harrison Herrman and the president elect has acknowledged the letter containing the announcement of the child's name. flerrman is a candidato for the position of postmaster and firmly believes that he will be appointed. He has launched out into extravagances buying several hundred dollars worth of furniture, a gold watch and diamond ring, ordering lifesized portraits of himself and the Lmperor William, &c. He has designed to christen young Benjamin Harrison on Christmas, at wnich time he expects the president elect to be present and many prominent citizens have received invitations for the great event. He has been in the postoffice to look it over, inf ormed Blum, O'IIearn, O'Kane and Macom)er that he would retain them and all the rest would have togo. Wednesday he called Editor Leisimer in to flud out why he hadn't written up the baby and after he left followed him up with a poker. He wanted a warrant for his arrest on the preposterous charge that he wanted to steal his new watch and ring and has been bothering the offlcers about it. Au effort will be made to have him cured by a short stay at Pontiae. During the campaign he got the idea that he would be ruined if Cleveland would be re-elected and says he got down on his knees every mght to pray for Harrison's election. Tnis idea and the election excitement has borue fruit.
