the fifth instant he issued circular price list
wherein he eloquently recounted the price Of
canned corn, beans, Strawberries and toma-
toes, and wound up with the following
tribute:
"There is hardly quotable market. The
hopes of the whole nation are centered around
the bed where our hero martyr is battling
bravely for the life that the whole nation is
praying may be spared to himself, to us, and
more than all to that bravest of the brave
his wife, and all thoughts of markets or mer-
chandise are for the moment lost sight of.
We said the whole nation; we must except
one; from the man to whose over-weening
pride and over mastering, selfish ambition has
come tho not Directly the idea that took
root and grew in this fanatieal lunatic's brain,
until it ended in the foul deed that bids fair to
cost us our truest and nOblest. From him,
the man of all others who should have felt a
sorrow that ought to have crowded out all
thoughts of self, there has come no word of
sympathy, no prayer of hope, and
we cannot but believe that if the
life SO dear to us now, there should be nothing
left but the memory of noble deeds and a
Christian death; and this man Conkling should
dare to attempt to make that death stepping
stone to place and power, we believe there
would come from all over the land one
righteous burst of Indignation that would tell
him and his sympathizers (if there be one lefty
that in the grave where a great nation buried
their hero, they buried also Roscoe Conkling's
future.
To-day at noon the tidings from Washing
ton are more favorable, and though we fear the
worst we hope for the best.
J.K. ARMsBY & Co.
The very day that Jake was issuing this
philippe and erecting (fguratively speaking)
monument of canned "apple sass" to the
writing this sentence to member of the cabi-
net:
My profound sympathes are with the Presi-
dent and with all of you every hour. The con-
fict of reports keeps hope and fear striving
with each other, with nothing stable except
| facts, and trust the worst has passed. wish
you would express to the President my deepest
sympathy in this case which should hush all
discords and enlist prayers for his safe deliver
| ance. Please also to give to Mrs. Garfield my
most respectful coincidence, trusting that all
will be well. Cordially yours,
ROSCOE CoNKLING.
We believe it is not customary for canned
goods 10 explode, but Jake evidently went
off at half cock. He mixed politics and bust
ness very promiscuously. The issue of such
business circular is a public announcement
that the party so doing desires to con-
fine his trade to those who agree
with him politically, and should
be so accepted. For instance, neither Demo
Gratis or Stalwart Republicans will force their
trade upon Jake Armsby in the future. He
does not desire it, and only wishes to affiliate
with the half breeds, who want to see Conk-
ling hung His wishes in that respect should
be regarded. His eminent talent
as an author Will keep him occupied when the
dried "apple sass" trade grows dull. He can
turn his attention to driving off the few "half
breeds" who may cling to him, and have a
comfortable business in dong nothing.
There will be NO occasion for cir.
cular price lists, as thse who buy dead issues
(canned) will prefer to deal with some one
who attends to business rather than politics.
They will feel little safer in the deal, and
besides will be glad to give Jake an opportu.
nifty to expend his undivided attention upon
literary work for which he is eminently quail
qualified
