on your beers. came to bury Foster,
not to praise him. This amt my funeral.
The evil that he has done to you and me
shall be buried with him. There is no
good to live after him. You have been
told that Calico was ambitious. This was
so, but he is all over it now. He was my
fir lend, but after he cut my throat and gave
away that Chicago hotel bill cut his ac-
qua.ntance. You all do know that on the
lapercal at Chicago he did pretend
to hand LIE the crown, and yet he gave
it to Garfield; and yet he claims to be
an honorable man! We all did love him
cnce, and not without cause; but when he
went back On US, and you, dear Germans,
We had to get even! We have done it..
Hulrah for the ideas of October! Hurrah
for the Dutch! All, now you smile. and 1
perceive that you feel as good as I do.
Bear with me till get down on the coffin
and dance jig of JOY.

But yesterday the word of Foster might
have stood against Ohio, now he lies there
like Sinking mackerel in the moonlight,
aud none SO poor to do him reverence, ex-
cept his son-in-.aw.
First voice in the crowd-'Bully for
Johnw
Second voice evidently a Democrat
We knew it was goin' to happen"
Third voice-"Hit him again; he has no
friends in this crowd
Sherman was saying when you
interrupted, Foster is dead. But hold!
here is a parchment which bears the gov
ernor's seal. 1t is not pardon, nor re-
QUESTION, nor message from the govern :
or. It is his last will and political assign
ment. Let but the Office seekers hear tbs
will, which, pardon me, do not mean to
do
Citizens Tin chorus Come, old boss, give
it away. Read it, for we will find it in the
newspapers.
Antony Shermau-Keep your shirts,
and look out for vest-pocket tickets. You
all do know this gubernatorial mantle. I
remember when Calico Charley first put it
on. helped him to keep him from tear
ing the lining out of the sleeves. Look at
this spot on the bosom. He dropped to-
bacco spit on it while speaking his Akron
piece. See this stain on the tail. This
was made while sitting inHessenauer's gar
den at Columbus waiting for an audience
See what "a mighty rent the Dutch vote
made! and here the Prohibitionists stab
bed with Democratic majority, and when
the mighty Calico saw them all strike, he
said his goose was cooked, oh, you Brutes,
or something like, and returned to lis dry
goods business. I see you are feeling
worse than ever, better take good look at
the corpse; you may never see it again.
Crowd gathers around with mirth. Ike
tucker faints and falls in the grave. Fred.
Mussey breaks down, and is carried over to
Lawrence Beck's saloon by Fred Blank
ner.
Antony Sherman resumes Resumption is
his best hold) to screw down the lid forever
And I will read the will. His senatorial
toga he bequeaths to his dear Democratic
friend. Calvin Brice. It has never been
worn, and no Republican will ever wear it.
His gubernatorial shoes he gives to Judge
Hoadly in fee simple! Loud applause
by the Germans present. Iketucker
he commends to the poorhouse. To
his son-in-law, Frederick Barbarossa
De Mussey, he leaves his awful
example. Oh, what have we here-I am
remembered: To nee, to me, Mark Antony
Sherman, he leaves receipt in full for
that Chicago hotel bill. Here was Calico
king. When comes there such another!
Let Brother Townsend and Brother Nash
and the other pall-bearers take up the
corpse and bear it hence and bury it under
that Democ attic majority.
First German-No; stuff it.
Second German-Put it in beer.
Third German-Away with it to the
nearest medical college and put it in
pickle. They bear the body out.
Iketucker revives and yells, ''The militia
to the rescue, crying Foster and revenge!
Down with the liquor rebellion! Down
with the Dutch! Down with beerv' Cur

down several glasses of beer.
