AT ABERDEEN-AWA.
The spirit of democracy is dominant vs. Aberdeen. A little while before the city election a candidate for an office thought he would call on a few of the leading city councillors. He hailed a cab and told the cabman to drive him to Councillor Bissett's, the treasurer. The councillor was found in a blacksmith's shop, shoeing a horse. 'I'll see Bomebody better than this," said the candidate. " Drive me to Councillor Maitland's office." The cabman thereupon drove him to the pawnbroker's. "Drive me to Councillor Gray's," he ejaculated. "lam Councillor Gray, sir," replied the cabman.
