Nv 1llihoy, with Joe Bigley as his
deputy, while sech patriots ez me and
Deekin Pogram are redoosed to the
necessity NV getting our likker on
tick, is violashen uy civil rites wich
we can't too strongly condemn.
Resolved. That these new recroots
may put in all the resolooshens they
choose about civil service reform, and
purity, ETC., but they must indorse
sich ez we deem necessary; be it fiat
money, free trade or tariff, jist as the

near the promised land, but Wuz not
permitted to enter into it.
There Wuz animated discussion

the Corners and the elite NV Boston
wuz Weepin over the corrupshen in

that we must cOncede suthin to Boston

The phrase: Don't QiUe a dam"

This would be beginuin. We shOod
be generus and meet them half way.
If Boston wuz wilIin to start down

ers shood be willin to try climb or
two up toward Boston.
The alterashun wuz conceded, with
the ashoorence, however, that no
