CDR. Logan thought that Jim Ferguson
would do well as a Malone, and wished
that the false and fleeting Clarence would
only come. but Atkinson said that Jeems'
had been prancing backwards and forwards
setween the lines so long, and was so OLD
as prowler and forager, that no Democrat
would follow him into any movement, and
the Judge did not have much influence,
anyhowe This settled the Judge. Col.
sterling thought that Judge r. S. Brown
might make Malone, at any rate that an
alliance with him would draw large pro-
bibition vote to a coalition. Grandpa
Beach knocked this project in the head, by
suggesting that the performances ana
Spanish war dances of this distinguished
gentleman at the ball at the Capitol had
caused all good temperance men to give
him looks Of askance and regard him as
a doubtful brother"

Yves. Atkinson suggested the propriety OF
a consultation with Gen. Three Per Cent.
Moorehead, of Parkersburg, upon the adyis,
ability of fusion between the rag babies and
the Club. He threw out hint that the
promise of the Republican nomination for
Supreme Judge, at the coming election
would impress the General favorably
and draw the whole Greenback
Darty to our lines with
Shrek and a yell. This impressed them
all, and on resolution the President was in
struced to open communication with the
ancient communist of ParkerSburg, and the
meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the
chairman, when a reply should have been
received. Things have come to pretty
pass when the party OF Lincoln. Sumner
and Morton must ally itself with dishonest
money and abandon its honesty in the greed
for spoils and plumber"
"You are little out of sorts, Colonel"
'Ishould say was. The Lincoln Club, in
stead OF deYoting itselfto legitimatepar adj
yancement a1i5 doing disinterested work for
the entire party has fallen into the hands
of a small CLIQUE of exclusives, who use 1T
for their own office-seeking, and believe
that they are bosses and natural leaders for
men of moral ideas and intelligent convic-
tons. And then look at the way things
are going on in Washington. Arthur We
toes the Chinese bill, and by so doing tells
the workingmen all over the land that
their interests are not matters to be con-
sidered or advanced by the Republican
party. Now the whole Garfield Cab
met has been hoisted as with
a petard, and half-breeds have been sat
down upon until they hardly dare to squeal.
OF course am disguised. Then crew OF
half crazy fanatics come along with their
Pond bills and temperance nonsense and
run all the Germans right into the Demo-
cratic party"
Here overcome by mingled feelings OF
grief and indignation, the gallant Colonel
swallowed cocktail and sauntered out into
the night air while the reporter muttering
to himself, "can such things be, " hied him
self away to his sarctum to give our read
ers such a nice Republican dish, all the
time wondering when the black birds would
begin to sing.
