You ought to see me shaking hands with the variations - the pump-handle and pendulum—the crosscut and wiggle-waggle. I understand' the sci­ence perfectly, and if any of the country candidates wish instructions, they must eall • on me.

I will allow that Swan is the best Auditor in the state—that is, tii] I am elected; then perhaps it'snot proper for me to s-.y anything more.

•Tis not for hrnor.I wish to be Auditor, for in my own county 1 was offered an office that was all honor —Coroner--wWch I most respectfully detditied. The Auditor's office, is worth some 4)5,01 )0 a year, and l a m io f«rr it like a thousand of buck. To show my go<*!ness of heart I1i_make this off-«r to my competitor. I *m sure of being elect­ed, and lie will lese something by the, nan-— vass; therefore I am willing todiv de equal­ly with him, and make these two offers; I'll take the salary and he may have the honor, or, if it would suit him belter, he may take the honor, and I'll be contented with ihe salary, — I n the" way of honors. I have received enough to satisfy me for life. I went out to Mexico, eat pork and beans, stent in t»*» rain and mud, and swallowed everything, except live Mexicans. If ordered to " g o . " I went.
