To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE Some
sable brother, who no doubt has aspirations
that at some time In the near future he may
be called upon to fill the position of chair
man of the Republican State Central Com
mittee has been trying his hand in a small
way to become sufficiently educated i'll the
art of using the jimmy and of making a
full hand at safe burglary, knowing that Is
one Of the herequisites for filling the high and
honorable position above named. | am
afraid our sable brother will never make a
success In the particular line of application
which he has marked out (Which his
illustrious predecessor has SO successfully
done, } for the man who undertook and did
accomplish stealing my corn was too great a
fool to ever get far beyond his present
standard of education in the particular
groove which he has undertaken to run as
the road to gain high political reputation
as an executive officer in the Republican
party, which the present head of the party
machinery has attained, and who do not

as the track he took to get home with his

the idea of man praetieing on my corn

track ed the route of the thief who took my
corn, to within less than hundred yards OF
house, and here lost my trail. The chick
ems had gone and done for me by eating all
the scattered grains of corn. /
cannot afford to employ this kind of
aspiring politicians in day time and
furnish all the corn they can steal from me
during the night, and would therefore say
to ali such persons to practice your night
operations on some of my Republican
neighbors who raise their own corn and
have large crops always on hand. As am
not raiser of corn, but only buyer, it
comes just little heavy on my pocket to
educate in this way Republicans for high ex-
ecutive positions. With kind regards to all
such thieves, no matter whether they are just
starting out at the bottom of the ladder

tion which 1t leads to or the individual who
has reached the topmost rung and holds IN
his grasp the coveted object of his ambition,
