THE BARBECUE
Wa . sal failure. just as we predicted,
the Democracy were there In full force from
Gold Hill and elsewhere. and got away
with the beef. When the Convention ad-
journei and vent up to Treadway's to see
the fun and get something TO eat. they
found the Democracy just polishing on
the last Of the skin bones. One clutched
q head and horn and Was gnawing the
small bits Of meat remaining on II, an
other was performing ON tho end OF .
thigh-bone like o clarionei. while another
was doing 4 shin-bone "a m fute. and the
rest were performing ON various shaped
homes. the whole looking like . band OF
Feejee Island musicians. Smilingly they
pointed 10 the pit where the ilrr had been.
with their flutes and jews-harps. and the
Republicans saw nothing m those scat
| tered bones worth going for. while hun.
cry dogs licked the polished joints and
| cursed the Democracy.
Two Gold Hin Democrats. ex-Jndgc
Putnam and Deputy Constable Saunders
were among that famished horde. When
| they got through eating they went 10 the
scales used by Uncle Treadway for weigh
| ing his hogs and tested themselves. Put
nam hal gained twenty-five pounds and
Saunders seventeen. 10 makes q great
| deal Of difference To u Democrat whether
he has his dinner Or not.
