Eater two prominent Republican Office
holders
lst Q6ies Holder (ioqufiw).-well, our
District matters look decidedly blue |
don't see how we are 10 beat Vail. this fall.
I'd once Holder--well that's true; after
his bcatingCdmpbell the chance is bad enough,
and besides there's no telling where this in.
iernal Douglas business is going to end either.
Amt you a little afraid yourself3
LEI Office Hoider--lt isn't any sure thing,
that's true, and looks squslly enough But
who's afeardl 7 can buy votes enough to
save me, il Vail. was ohly out Of the way; he s
such an energetic fellow TO stir things up
lSomething must be done
I'd Office HOlder--Well, I'm out Of heart
about the whole thing. This railsptiinR
business is all stupid farce and Lincoln him
self a miserable humhug, while these infer
nal Democrats are crazy over the wittle
Giant and | never knew so much doubt in
our ranks, aud 80 many changes against us
But must run again though The only
thing we have 10 rely on is money aud we
must spend It like water. Tn good for a cool
thousand, and you must shell out too old
hoss, for the whole ticket There 5 nothing
like the spondoOiicks As for Vail, he s
going about the country making dangerous
speeches, and takes well some how or other
wherever lie goes He s changed his tactics
this campaign, and is as mild and insinuating
as can be. We have no show unless we can
get somebody who can stump the District and
cOunteract him lie s taking advantage Of
us going about in advance, and you know
there are always great many wavering fell
lows who go with the current Unless ice
can force him ont TO denoURee the BreckR-
ridge men, there s no hope at all no matter
who runs against him. But the fact is, he 3
too d--d sharp for us any way and we can b.
deny that he Is done his duty in Congress anc
made good Representative.
lst Office HotdeI. Well all you say is
true but he $ too smart TO denounce anybody
now, and the Breckenridge men will work for
him as hard as any Others and m not sure
that most of the Bell men won't vote for him
too. Don't you think upon the whole we had
better attend to our own bailiwick, and let
Vail slide. The less we stir him up the bet
ter That old fool Of the Journal is always
putting his foot into il He never had any
sense, and now he wants to dig up that ugly
John Brown affair." and that pike next, too !
suppose. He II beat us all, sure as he did in
1866 The Democrats are stirred up enough
already, and there s that nuisance, the Mexi-
can Rancho, or whatever they call it, too |
wish the lightning would strike il and burn it
down. And our fool Club had to go and let
the niggers have our Republican Wigwam to
have their ball in the other hot night, and it
stinks yet and worse and worse, the whole
party begins TO stink in the nostrils of the
people, and no wonder If VIC could only get
up the Old Wing party again.
Enter 'Tom-tit,' in high glee,
Loguitur "7oDttiL" u We heard you, old
cogers; but don't be scared III fetch the
wagon out of the mud with Lincoln rail,
and then with little linseed oil--d--n that
luseed business-"linseed otherwise called
Aaxseed, II II make it run sleek as grease
The fact is, if hadn't killed myself last win
ter about that Chase affair, and some other
silly things, | d been the very fellow to beat
Vail But it cant be helped now; so never
mind my lads.
Ereunt severally.
