BILL NYE.
Ne Finally Consents to Apply Tor
Foreign Mission.

W dpPly vi iot1iSH
the present Administration | have
finally consented to do so, and last
week filed my application for such
mission as might still remain vacant.
To insure my appointment much
will remain for you to do. J now call
upon my friends to aid me by their
united effort. | especially solicit the
aid Of my friends who have repeated
" heretofore promised it to me while
drunk.
You will see at glance that ! can
OILY make the application. You must
srpport it by your petitions and let
tiers. 1t would be Of little use for one
man to write five thousand letters to
the President, but ii five thousand
people each write him letter in
which casual reference is made to my
social worth and 7t-octive brain, j,
will make him pay attention.
NV idea would he for each of my
friends to set aside one day in each
week to write to the President, open
Ing it in a chatty way by asking HIM
II he does not think we are having a
rather backward spring, and what he
Is doing for his cut-worms now, and
how his folks are, &C., &c. Then
gradually leap up to the statement
that YOU think / would be an orna-
ment to the Administration II should
60 abroad and linger on foreign
strand at $4,000 per linger and sta
Gonery.
This will keep the President prop
erly stirred Up, and cause him to earn
his salary. The effect will be to Sc
cure the appointment at last, as you
will see il you will persevere. need
not add that will do what is right
by my friends upon receiving my
commission.
Do not neglect this suggestion be-
cause it comes to YOU in the form OF
II circular, but remember it and act
upon it. Remember that, although
the President is stubborn us Sam Hill
he will at last yield to fatigue, and
when tired nature can hold out no
longer the last letter will drop from
his nerveless hand, and he will sur
gender.
Some Of you will urge that ! have
been an offensive partisan, but when
you come to think it over | have not
been SO alfred partisan. There have
been days and days when it did not
show itself very much. However,
that is not the point. | want your
hearty Endorsement and | want it to
be entirely voluntary, and if you do
not give it and give it freely and vol
unfairly, you hadn't better ask me for
any more favors.
All the newspapers most heartily
indorse me. The Rocky Mountain
Whoop very truthfuliy says:
"Mr, Nye called at our office yes
terday and subscribed for our paper.
We are proud to add him to our list
Of paid-up subscribers, and should he
renew his subscription next year, pay
ing in advance, we will cheerfully re-
Ter to it among other startling news y
| have crap-book full Of such
press Endorsements as this, and now,
II my friends will peel their coats and
write as they should, can make this
Administration open its eyes.
Several papers in Iowa have allud
cd to my being in town, and referred
III the fact that had paid my bills
while there. But press Endorsement
is not sufficient. What is needed is
the written testimony of friends and
neighbors. No matter how poor or
humble or worthless you may be,
write to Mr.. Cleveland and tell him
bow much confidence you have in me,
md it you can call to mind any little
acts of kindness, or any times when
have got up in the night to give you
4 dollar, or nurse collicky horse for
you, throw that in. Throw it in, any,
how. 1t will do no harm, and may
do much good.
! can solemnly promise all my
friend that ii they will secure my APP
pointment to foreign country for
four years | will not return during
that time. What more can | offer?
| will stay longer if | am raappointed.
l would do anything for my friends.
Do not throw this circular carlessly
