AUSTIN, October 20, 1873.
EDrroR SENTINEL: Now l know what
Judge Mckinney and Tommy Smiler were
doing in the poker room the time that
Tommy showed Mac Lander Democratic
letter in the SENTINEL. They were cooking
up a letter that was published in the Eureka
Leader. In that letter they say that
Lander Democrat Is a man who drinks
at Colfax's expense three or four times o
day, and hat I am ready to drink Tommy's
whisky. Excuse me; l have more regard
for the coating Of my stomach. Tommy
and Mac make their letter to the Leader a
a defense Of Judge Mckinney for renting
cheap cigars, canvassing for life insurance
and directories, and for an attack on An
derson. Mr.. Anderson is a lawyer and q
gentleman. Mr.. Mckinney graduated to
Eldorado County, California. Mr.. Ander-
son scorns TO do q mean action in his can
| vass, or allow his friends to do anything
tudt even iOOhS ike lflChcfy. mSnciiuty
and his man Smiler will do anything mean
to elect him. Mac is the candidate OF
Triplett & Clark's whisky mill, but Nc
Kenney goes about the country with a kind
Of sanctimonious, three days meeting look
ON his face, and tells people that Anderson
is q nice man and makes a very good Dis
trict Attorney, but dropping into a sort
of confiding tone) the poor fellow has the
fatal habit of drinking, and would not be
reliable on the Bench. Im-Mac-uiate Je-
hovah When did you come down ?
'.Alas, poor Yorick l knew him WE'LL"
What drinking Anderson does is done
| openly and like a square man, and he is
not one Of those inside pocket, hazel brush
men, who go to meeting and sing, Its
religion that can give" etc., and then
run around the saloon putting up for the
voters to drink and he does not have a
man Friday. like Smiler, to go around and
make boasts that the Cornishmen will vote
for him because he is a Methodist, and the
Irishmen will vote for him because he has
got Mac. to his name, and puts a green
necktie on his little boy, and drags him
through the crowd with it on, on the
Fourth of July. Thu letter in the Leader
says it is well enough for our citizens to re-
member that the Irish element is, soul and
body and spirit, with the Democratic
party. and that if an English Protestant
does not care to ~officiate with them, whose
business is it? l can speak for my Irish
fellow-citizens. and say that they have
nothing against the English Protestants.
and that the prejudice is all ON the side Of
Englishmen, but the Irishmen do not seek
or care for their utilization but / do say
that an Irishman in Austin who will vote
for q Republican Is untrue to himself and
his country Of birth, because the Repub-
licans have tried to crowd the Irishmen
out of the camp and fill up their places
with Cornish, aud because the | aders Of
the Republicans here hate the Irish, but
put them ou their ticket occasionally to
catch Irish votes. One more word about
the Leader letter. and / am lone with that.
1t says a lot OF asses got up an anti-Mon-
gol'an party for the purpose of keeping
their hands in at speech-making. The
head man on the Republican ticket, who is
running for Senator, was the head one of
the asses who got up the society. John
O'Donnel, the man the Republicans pnt
up to be knocked over for County Com
missioner, and got knocked over before
election, the man CHARLEY Lund was in
such a hurry to. bail out of Jail, has
passed in his chips, resigned from the
ticket, and says that If they attempt to
burn that Irishman for a fool they will
lose their wood.
Smiler Colfax cried aloud. my king
dom for an Irishman for the long term"
They threw out a niccly-baited hook to
Cusick, but that fish from the ..Old Sod
gently swan to the other side of the
stream. Then the Smiler and Birchfeld
sang. Come, My Love. and Sit By Me-"
to John F. Lynn and Michael Cummings
but the boys gently sighed, mot for Jo-
seph no, not for Joe."
$50 then" General Jack said, eff neither
turf nor grass will do, we will try what we
can do with stones. 80 the General slyly
poked Doc. Wixom in the short ribs and
said. How is it that l never thought of
you before? That relic Of the sweet past
replied: I'D if l know but, General,
you can just pass that old rooster to some
one else" Doc. got badly wal med for
County Commissioner four years ago. and
knows he cant never take another trick in
this county.
General Jack got Albert S~tandback to
take the place. and the Genera says Albert
will carry the Dutch vote to the ticket.
John Frost got somebody to write a card
for him, and he put it in the Rereilte. say
ing that he Is not running for Sheriff to
give to somebody else, and that he will III
the Office himself. All of the people know
that it is hard work for John to write his
name, and that he wants to give the Office
to his brother-in-iaw, just out from the
East. John would be the Sheriff. and the
other fellow would be deputy in name, but
the deputy would be Sheriff in fact.
The great Mighels got here last night,
and will tonight speak to the .sinsuficient-
ly prosecuted Irish, recently imported
Cornish, and imperfectly naturalized Ca
nucks. He got off of the Eureka wagon at
the international Hotel, and the first thing
that he asked for was Tommy Triplett's
wigwam. Some old Californians said he
was a monte dealer, and others that he was
a detective looking for Tom Lawton.
These curious fellows were sitting around
the big wigwam stove as he entered that
magic rendezvous, but when old Butcher,
the man that was washed down the canyon
in the late flood, and Harrington, the
Churchill County Colonist, rushed at him,
they all knew that that was Mighels,
Smiler's man, who would set it to our lit
tie kid-gloved fower-ornamented editor
when he came. So the three, with Billy
Clark, who was behind the bar, took a
brotherly smile, when the Churchill Col
onist tore himself way and rushed for the
Battle Mountain stage, as he had Just been
telegraphed to fly to the Comstocks, and
the old hero Of the food and Harry went
arm in arm to the International saloon,
where old Butcher introduced Harry to all
Of the stiffs, and said: II knew him in
Marysville in 81, where he painted his last
sign" Old Biuch next escorted Harry to
his room and then went out to drum nm
Republicans, but he only got two, General
Jack. whose duty at the hitching-post is
imperati. in such cases. and the man who
can't write Jack Frost without running his
tongue out. This is the kind Of reception
these great blazing Bonanza rockets usu-
ally get In Austin.
