Uacle Dich.:-My dear friends, this was to
have been day of rejoicin' and tsastin with
| us, an the precious people was to tut the
bills, but you see how it is: Here lies the
body of the Dimocrat party Of Cecil, acct
dentally shot by the ole carbine-Local OPP
ton. l told you, Charles Carroll, to keep
that flask in your side-pocket little more
shady, or there would be q ympathetic COM
busti0n.
Charles CtttroU:-I know you did, my dear,
and honored Uncle; but who would have
thought that old thing was loaded. It's
been kickin' around loose for the last five
years and l didn't think there was any
danger of it hurting anybody. This cry OF
women's prayers and tears and the bread
being snatched from children's mouths to
pamper the rum sellers was, | thought, a
mere Radical campaign howl.

Uncle Dick in9;onantlv:-seizet the devil:
didn't | seize her Cesar and hold on till
| got y good fat office and didn't you wire
me out, and now can't even seize q collsc-
torship.
Charles CorroU:-Btt every dog must have
his day, you know, Uncle, and you have
had yours; so now take n snort, and give US
a blow, and then the burial will proceed.
Boss S.epDard-Holl. I move that we
