........ The unsuccessful candidates, so
far as have heard, take their defeat
very philosophically, except Mr.. Run
yam, as I see by your last issue. 1t APP
pears from his squeal that he il not
satisfied with the downing the people
gave him on the Bird. Soon as he finds
he is down, forthwith he jumps upon
and tramps himself into the mud I'M
til his most intimate friends don't rec
ognize him. And now, Mr.. Runyan,
please step around the corner with me,
where the readers of the REGISTER
can't hear lis. and will give you q bit
of advice which is like this. When you
go home try and persuade your wife to
take you out behind the house, and
give you good switching, ard if you
can't prevail with her, hire a cheap
boy to kick you all over the barn lot,
or until you promise to never be guilty
of SO puerile an act again. And fur
Their, never allow yourself to run for
an Office again, as am satisfied that
many who voted for you at the late
election, after reading your epistle to
the editors of the REGISTER and Cour-
ant, wish they had not done SO and,
: our defeat the next time, will be more
emphatic than this one. A hint to the
wise, etc........I In my last you make me
say DR.. Lambeth reports 10l pound
boy at Geo. Meredith's; said Geo.
Merril's; and the week before when I |
said q pound boy at Harry Muth's,
you made me say II pounds. Be a lit
tie more careful hereafter, or else come
put and take the cussings yourself. ..
