Mister Sam. Burdette, Charleston, W. Va:
DEAR SIR:-Yes, it wuz a komplet fail
ure. The other fellers wuz too flip fur us.
Tbey,reuv opinyun that our krowd would
INT make a red brush jury fur apennyroyal
lawyer tn talk tn. Flick told me when l
wuz to Martinsburg that he wud set down
on the krowd; that he wuz an innosent tel-
Ter, an wuz imposed upon by our highly
kuiored pictures of ~finanse, wealth an otfis.
He said we'd about ruined the Republican
party, what wuz left NV it in West Virginia
an that all the amendments he eud otfur
wouldn't klOse up the vacation in the base
ment NV our pOlitikal trowsers. Flick glts
sarcastic sumtimes.
The next time you see Slack an Burlew,
tell them to write them imposters at kO-
lumbus to draw on the old city council OF
GallipOlis fur tibet 10 pur sent OF the
Doodle claimed by them. They's more po-
htical kleptomaniax in Ohio to the square
inch in the Republican party than even
our artikle of faith requires. Lie says
Kolumbus is nuthin' but a fence fur polt-
zeal thieves. and that it wuz a bleSsln' our
sekret c~onyenshun wuz busted, fur they
wud hev stole everything we a with us
and got Judgment before the Ohio Supreme
Kort fur our ole klOthes.
Lie is quite q prOfet; she's the eth
dotter of a 18th dOtter-the old man he'd 4
wives-I don't member which wun wuz
her muther. Anyway, Lie says we OF to
kollect our little : fer konvenshun an
start out on the road before the kampane
gets lively and advertise this as
the only living What is it?'
/ thot We were advertised enutf,
fur l see every Democratic paper in the
State and sum of the Republican papers
hev published our surkular with many
sarcastic comments. One NV them advises
us to hold our Sekret cOnclave on the 2Sth
in an ash barrel fur that's n good place
fur dirty work. This is ~discuragin' to a
hard wOrkin', 'onest Republican. | feel
lOneSum.
Elkins gets mad an SEE he didn't belong
to Pap Prices army. Steve, you're a fall
ure, I'm afraid. Almost all the boys is
goin' back on us, an sum NV them say
they he'd nuthin' to do with Jim's menag-
erie. Wonder who the Others were who
with jim, wanted to ''bewilder the watch
full enemy?'
Even the little boys on the streets make
fun NV us. When l wuz gOin' down town
the other day / heerd one gutter snipe say:
''There goes ole 'Anti-BOOdle;' wonder
where he's going with his red umbrella?'
And another Arab replied: "Oh, tibet red
umbrella is a auction sign. He belongs to
Jim's menagery of Ohio refugees
what wus goin to sell the otises to the
highest biddir fur kash and votes fur Nate
Golf" | had a nOshun to knock that boy
so fur he wouldn't Il seen n sirkus fur Il
year.
Mister Campbell, of Hancock, Riley, of
Harrison, Whaley, OfMason, and Peterson,
of Cabcll kOunty, hev writ me that they
would deny havin' anything to do with the
Kolumbus tiaScO, but to pay no 'tention to
it, ez it wuz only intended to klOze the
eyes Ofthe party. All the letters | got
lately favor hOldin' a secret kOnklave when
the State Sentral KOmmittec meets, an cz
the Doodle will be divided out, we kin gin
git a big scupe. They all agree that we
must sakrifiSc all other Oftises TO clekt the
Legislator and git our Caesar in as our RO-
man Senatur.
Your badly mixed friend,
ALIEN. ANTI DOODLE.
