Omaha daily bee., 1874-06-30

roped in q number of outsiders. For
part, I defy any one of them to
prove me a played'out politician. 1
have never 'aspired to Office, and
will only accept a far "sit" at the
hands of Gen. Strickland, when he
goes to Congress. My friends have
always pushed me ahead. Ishould
not be here, if 1 had not deter
mined to help the industrial classes.
That's the kind Of a squash I am.
Pattee-Mr. President, 1 have
never run for Office. They wanted
me to run for Governor once, and
that's how 1 got my title. If 1
wanted to 1 could buy shopmen
enough to go to congress or any
other place. But 1 will tell you
what is hurting us. You are letting
in too many scallawags. men with
out means, brains, or character,
and 1 am beginning to think the
whole thing is a worse fraud than
my lotteries. Three dollars a piece
terminating fellows, and then you
have no drawing! You are making
too much money out of this scheme.
You have no music to pay for; no
men to bring from st. Louis or Ne
yada, to draw capital prizes; or
postal detectives to hush up. If
YOU wish to have sober thoughts
change your hall to my Opera
House. If you can work up a leg
islative job to repeal the lottery
laws, 1 will build you Is fine a hall
as the Nebraska Orphan Asylum,
which, as you know, is the nOblest
of my l.laHy noble charities. That's
the kind Of q iOttery-ticket 1 am.
J. P. Bartlett-Mr. President, ]
am not a played out politician, the
Trades Unions to the contrary not
withstanding. Send me to the leg
islature once, and I'll have that city
charter tinkered up, so that the city
council will give us a room in the
new city hall and the Ko-.Op FLAG
shall float from its flagstaff. 1hdt's
the kind Of q H6erty-pole I am.
George NJ. Mills-Mr. President
1 am no played out politician. The
mills of God grind slowly, and Mill:

by Georse, want the oaice o.
Mayor, so that ] can bust the fire

wOrkingmen. On that issue, ] shall
be Mayor next year. That's tn
