THE SANE OLD COONS
The Patriot, alluding to the Wing meeting in
Aisqunh street, says:
Z" 1t is pleasing to attend these meetings. The
same warm hearts and the sane old coon" of 1910,
there. The Wing spirit is up-the work goes
bravely Let there be slumberng. Keep a
fixed eye upon victory. We have tIiumphed IN Bal
limore-and what men have done, men may do
again"
Boys do you hear that The same old coons OF
lSa0' are at work Be not deceived by their silence
and apparent apathy. These coons about day
and night burowing under ground and smelling IN
every corner of the city. Let's turn out IN mass
the Ssh of October next and have general coon
hunt. In order To make il glorious triumph, we
must be moving as in ioImer days. Just sound the
old dru and these coons will be scarce as The re-
demption of their promises Baltimore Republican
and Argus.

despolls !" "tyrannv!' and all that. The thing :
slightly rldculous.-Ibid
The communication OF Equal Rights" &c, has
been handed over tn those who have the matter IN
hand Patriot.
1t was very right in the Patro' to hand The
ncatloD lover to those who have the matter in
hand as that paper has nothing to do with equal
righfs'-excert II be To oppose them.-Ibid
We have triunphed in Baltimore, and what men
have DONE men may do again. "-Pdtriot.
Yes, you have uumphed in BaItimore;" but
1t was long time ago" As to what men have
done IN the way of quilting the people with false pro-
nises they may think they can :" do again !" but we
have too much confidence in the spirit and ntelli-
twce-ihey are not to be caught in coon-trap al
though be baied with that roast beef and dol
lars y."-Ibid.
The Wing meeting las, night at White Hall was a
most excellent one The very best feeling prevailed.

same old coon" was there Baltimore P1triot
That same Old Coon" that same Old Coon y
How sunken and degraded
A perfect picture OF his friends
Whose hopes OF pap have iadel.-Ibid.
