'.Fritzie. of Delaware. whoever that
may be, wields lively quill, as witness F
the following to the Ohfo STATE Journal
of TIE day:
Hubbell didn't want Beatty re-nomi-
mated. Therefore the Hon. Jeemes
must needs take a conspicuous part IN
endeavoring to organize opposition TO
Beatty. Why this travail of the polite
al soul of the wabbling jim Does he
feel It in his bones that Beatty viii beat |
him out of his boots As an humble |
worker in the Republican ranks we viii /
wager our monthly allowance OF billed /
shirt that it will require six months or
thereabouts, after the election for the |
Hon Teemes to find out what party he |
belongs to. He'll be terribly scattered |
so wofulIy mussed I'D that he will res
urrect POLITICALLY of coursel in detach-
ments. and wont find out what political
CORDS he belonged to until the devil gets
hinl-as he's religiousIy bound to do
YOU know-HubbeH and all such apos-
tates. It viii be remembered that by
an accident in counting the vote of
Richland county at the Delaware con-
vention in 1864, Hubbell was nominat-
ed by one majority over Beatty. Hub
bell it is said, begged that vote with
tears in his eyes, and was constantly
! present in the nvention-buttonhol-
ing the delegates, while Beatty dignifled-
| ly kept in his room at the hotel. he
| Hon. Jeemes can lacrynose atwill, and
hat too, most coPiously. 1t IS matter
Of history wide Congressional Globel
hat he welled up and over so quickly
after voting for legro suffrage IN the
| District of Columbia. that but for the
1mely aid of a colored boot-black he
would have drowned in his own tears.
| He was too full for utterance, and there
by neglected to compensate the boy for
| MS services. At the Democratic Con-
rressional Convention which nominated
/ colonel Burns in 1867. HubbelI, IN
| peech to the Convention. said that he
wept for very grief when he heard of the
! capture of Jeff Davis. He Proffered
! hat statement as evidence of his sound
| democracy. All! fated Jeemes r! that
was rather tao HzHch democracy, and
| Barney Burns was nominated on the
| first ballot. Hubbell at that time knew
| full well that every Democrat IN the
land was sorry that Jeff had been caught
but he hadn't been in the Democratic
family long enough to know that that
was a family secret not to be diVulged
TO the world without. He is most heart
ily despised by both political parties,
and will be beaten fifteen hundred to
two thousand. His nomination is the
weakest that could have been made and
| is. in fact, a virtual concession that the
Democrats Of the Eighth District are
without hope. We predict that the
chronic grim which distorts the baby
face of the Hon. Jeemes during his po-
litical campains will blossom into a
whang-doodle wall ere the ides Of Octo-
Der. When Beatty gets after him on
the stump HubbeH will feel more like
attacking half dozen ounces of spirits

a sick boy. Whether the benzine will
whale him, as Curt. did, Iwot not. Ben
has a vast deal of nerve. however, and
II is silly noised about that he (the afore
said BENZ has foored the smiling Jeemes
quite frequently of late. How is that
| for high !? I'll come again some day.
Yours. FRITZIE.
