CIRCULAR FROM BILL NNE.
He Finally Consents 10 Apply for
Foreign Mission.
To my Friends Regardless of Party.

the present administration, have
finally consented to do so, aud last
week filed my application for such
missions as might still remain va
cant.
To insure my appointment much
will remain for you to do. l now
call upon my friends to aid me by
their united effort. l especially
solicit the aid of my friends who
have repeatedly heretofore pronls-
ed it to me while drunk.
You will see at a glance that l
can only make the application.
You must support it by your petit
tions and letters. 1t would be of lit
tie use for one man to write five thou
sand letters to the President, but
if five thousand people each write
him a letter in which casual refer
ence is made to my social worth
aud III octave brain, 1t will make
him pay attention.
My idea would be for each of my
frieuds to set aside one day in each
week to write to the President,
opening it in chatty way by ask
ing him if he does not think we are
having a backward spring, and
what he is doing for his cut worms
now. and how his folks are, etc.,
etc. Then gradually lead up to the
statement that you think | wonld
be an ornament to the adminlstra-
ton if l should go abroad and ling
er on foreign strand at $1,000 per
linger and stationery.
This will keep the President
properly stirred up, and cause him
| TO eaIn his salary. The effect will
be to secure the appointment at
last, as you will see if you perse-
we're. | need not add that | will do
what is right by my friends upou
receiving my commission.
Do not neglect this suggestion
because it comes to you in the form
of circular, but remember it and
act upon it. Remember that, al
though the President is as stub
born as Sam Hill, he win at last
weld to fatigue, and when tired ma
ture can hold out no longer, the
last letter will drop from his nerve.

Some of you will urge that /
