good of the party
Grand PrieSt-J. s., close the door well. |
May be Little IIarry's" reporter may be
around, and as this is an important meeting,
l wouldn't like to have it published.
j. S.-IIarry's reporters all Il id hum
bug. Harry gets that up himself, and he
has gone out Of town, so you needn't fear
anything getting out, unless VIC have men,
bcrs who tell and suspect there are some.
Grand Prjea.-Do you suspect any here
tonight? If you do we better Scear them
! before we proceed with business.
Dr.-You can't make me believe that
there isn't something wrong somewhere, for
! Harry's reports are correct to the letter, and
he finds out somehow.
Treasurer We'll let's proceed, guess
its all right tonight,
Grant PrieSt.-Wcll, since / hear that
Harry has left town, / feel more comfortable.
May be that Poetry scared him OFF, That
was one Of the greatest pieces of nonsense l
ever saw put together and l would like to
know who wrote it. If | had been at home,
it would not have been published.

it for fun.
M. P.-Yes, and the Joke was all turned
on you. As told you, it wouldn't be any
credit to father it, and therefore l had it
placed under the head of communicated"
S. S.J d. consider it regular trash 1t
doesn't give single point, and its bad
grammar and no meter, nor anything else
Its nothing but Little Harry" "damn it,"
and "Thicf Floyd l suppose that's the
reason why Mr.. p. won't father it. He feels
a little conscientious about "Thief Floyd
H. S.-Why when you brought it into de
Office, and laughed so about it, / sought it
,ras goot-.tiyst rate.
S. DIXON! you ought to have known
) why did that. 1t was done to make those
Union men in there believe, that it was 4
good hit.
Grand PricH-I have a notion to have all
of you exempted for gcaauJ dcJilHy What
say you j. 5.
Treasurer L-Ahcm! none of your insin-
uations, proceed gentlemen, time is pre-
cious.
Judgc VI wasn't altogether pleased
with that Constitutional meeting on Satur-
; day night. It didn't 1T all turn out as IAkcd
to hadH. Miller is not as goo3 a speaker as
thOayhth he caS. lie files from enc Smjcctt0 Tho
othrtoo much. 1Iespoilcd his whole speech
and what he said about the constitution, the
Niger Abe Lincoln and free press. Ono
could easily discover that all of it was taken
from the Harrisburg Patriot s. Union, and {
! supplement from the same office Mr.. 2. haG
circulated the day before, a paper which nC
one attempts to read, except 0r party, who
90 'for the Constitution as it was.o huC
expected to derive some information, but i
| had known that his speech wouldn
: been better, when was making my SpCecj
on taking my seat as President of the meet
ing, / would have continued ON longer for
- would have said good many better thing
than what he did.
Mr.. P.-Wcll don't know, | think tina
the few who remained when l was maxim!
my speech, were well pleased, notwithstand
ing told cm went there unprcparcd t
make a speech.
, H. S,-Dat ish so, Mr.. p, but you tellin!
dem you were unprcparcd, was rather laugh
N able when you pulled out 50 many docu
y, ments from your coat pocket and gomlmeHcc
:, reading, but dem dat went out when yO
- go0tmcnced We're only Union men, but whe
=, Miller Sthpoke l had to laugh how Old JAG

nodded and shook himself. Major SthiN ha
~ the h~iHg Of dc cars.
~ Grand Priot,-No insinuations, you Sc
NJ back Mr. $, and let those speak who hay
u long been in service "tor the good Of IL
( party
:, Prvth'y 81 think too, that Miller ougl
not paid that compliment to Mr.. Wciricl
Of the Selinsgrovc Times, as everybody hc1
,o knows his disloyal sentiments, and Mill
-, saying he was his friend. wouldn't care
- if he was one ofmy conicrecs.
:, Dr.-Thats what ! call birds Of feath
-. hocking together" We better let him :
-, and attend to our county, for fear if v
- neglect Brown he will be beat. And Miller
know made votes against him, for sever
:. told me, who had intended voting for hil
that they would rather vote for jeff at one
49, then they knew how far they could tru
,o9 him. That he spoke too much like Jol
NV Hughes two years ago, and that John h;
charge Of u rebel battery at the battle of A
,,. tietam.
hc Mr. Pts Il great pity that we are II
of in power SO we could suppress some Uni,
M presses, so the poor people could not fiji
60 out all these plans to keep the Constitute
l,o as it was.'
We Grand PrieSt.-Well proceed gcntlemc
NJ, proceed, am getting tired staying here.
