WHEN THE WINE is IN, THE WIr IS OUT
I At the grand tizzle at the Coon pen on
Thursday night, live whig-whose labors
IN trying TO get the "tqme rack" up had
made him awful "tired" "-.-hiccuping out
/ his attachment to Scott, because he was a
Native American and down on the d d
lrlsh," to crowd of Irish Democrats who
were laughing at the tom fooery going on Mt
the whig head quarters, when one of his
comrades, not SO far gone, stepped up and
lugged him off by main force, declaring that
he would "let the cat out of the bag" en-
tirely, if he left him there any longer!'
| The free Press then goes on to relate the
main performance Of the evening. lhe
! 'spln OF 1910" say you are aroused. Get
ting drunk, storming Democratic printing
offices, damning the Irish and Foreigners
so the whig spirit Of l84O must indeed be

q whig meeting on the principles of 1910:
"TnE VINO MEETrNG-The Whig Gro
Gerry was opened in this city, night before
last. There are some incidents connected
with the affair which deserves notice. Wet
have found the expense, to us Of such meet
ings-.we may hereafter estimate our DANA
ges on such occasions; and also the pecui-I
arlymild and gentlemanly character of who.
gerry, when going down with their rickety
ship. The Free Press Office, was assailed
with stones, its windows broken and the spir-
it of the party left within our wals Its all
very well. We have perhaps earned the ha-

to have enlisted their sympathies. Our
establishment is large enough to afford good |
mark for the drunken rowdies of the party, |
OF all the decency; we have perhaps been

casion seemed to overshoot the mark every
lime, A leading whig, on leaving the house
when Mr.. Noble was speaking, said; .What
filthy and ridiculous ira h; it is always the
way with our people; we get fools to advo-
