Wat rite hez the President to desert
his post and go away so fur that we

Carryin with him trunk implies

But he, forsooth, must pack his trunk |!
1 am not recklis nor hasty, but warn
President Cleveland that this packin
NV trunks won't do. He hez dooties to
perform, and the Democrisy insists
that he performs EN-. We don't keer
SO much about polisy; we are willin to
swaller any dose which he offers US, but
we want the offises. On that question
we are iron-clad. And we want EN-
now. He can't sine commishuns in the
Adirondax, and afore he gets back 1
shell hev died Nv drouth. He must re-
member that four years hence the De-
mocrisy may pack their trunks. Let
him beware. The starved tiger is the
most feroshus.
