II is perhaps tho funniest incident

Hero 1t is in the Bill Pyle YER
nacular:
1t is gratifying to us to see that our sug-
gestion that Mr.. L. j Burgess, OF Logan: be
Nominated for Congress by the Repnbli-
cans ofthe Capital District, is receiving SO
much favor through the press OF Il Dis
trict. MIR. Burgess will be especially strong

influential friends in Franklin and Picka-

Young giant of eloquencs and Vulcan of

Let Us test the question of value to Am

gold.
Here is great opportunity,
We guarantee the 5000 lrish.American
| voters in the four big counties comprising
Ohio Capital District, regardless OF their
party affiliations, will support Levi J. Bur-
CESS, the silver tongued orator and earnest
advocate OF protection as against the advo-
cate OF free trade for Ensland's benefit,sup
ported by English gold-the angel of de-
| strnction to free government.
We eknow that there are those Who VIII

cratic. But will you give up without q
struggle?
Out upon you! 1t is not creditable to n
man TO light an infant, but it is great glory
when the opportunity arrives for Lilli-
putian to strike down a giant
so the Democrats and Republicans stand
| apparently in this Congressional district;
A. Lilliputian
VS..
\. Giant.
1t is not often we have such a
funny article in print.
The "Vulcan of Protection is
good and we think original. The
''glant of eIoquence,r IS ours. j. We
constructed it and used it on re-
peatcd occasions when McIeyi was
harrangueing the Democracy,
and denounc,ng the Republicans in
all the lively past twenty years. -
Wo also applied to him the term
"silver tongued." We still hold on
to that, but Vulcan of Protection, .
got US down. We yield our title to
that term to tho Irish Times.
Now this we want to say. We
don't want any true Irishman like
O'Burgess left with coat tails trail
ing, and not protected. The Irish
Times does not do him full justice.
1t is due to the O'Burgess, the
Only with two apostroptes to state
that he came out of Ireland with
McBill O'Pyle, O'ReilIy of the Ir-
ish Times, ,Shamus O'Brian and Tim
O'Brian, the perennial O'Green
and others who could not pay rent,
and who were too proud to do as
Parnell does. tip the subservient hat
and say TO the landlord. "May 1t
please your lordship, can l plant a
peck of potatoes.
We Irish, whom McLevi leads
don't plant potatoes. We are abov
that business. We are statesmen
and run for Office.
1t might occur to 1899 of the
5000 the Irish Times pledges to
O'Burgess, that We Irish leaders
and pledgers of Irish votes would
be better employed with hoe In a
potato patch, than writing political
drivel for the not "hated English
gold" but the loved Republican
subsidy.
We have campaigncd with o.
Burgess. He took two licks of the
Blarney stone before he left the ould
dart, and he can pull 5000 Irish
every time he wags his silver tongue
If he gets any of the "hated
British gold" he will be irresistible.
Later on when McIIevi is homin
ated, and the Irish Times puts up
Its 81 900 of American notes on his
election, we will take occasion to
help the cause along, by reproduc-
ing from our files some of his speech
es, when Democratic candidate,
and tor fifteen years q Democratic
campalgner.
We have notion that his speech
es will not enthuse Republicans, but
will be of great comfort to the Irish
the Irish Times.
We might add as a wind up, that
we concede Pickaway county to o.
Burgess. We will also conccde to
him and to the Irish Times, the
solid vote of Cork, Limerick and
Derry, these counties all being IN tie
intelligent Irish Times district.
