Dr. Dryhash said that he did not
see where all these elimination and
recrimination was going to end.
Since he had joined the conclave,
very little had been said of a peace
full character by the speakers and
he felt constrained to move that the
turbulent members Dick Blunt and
Angus Mcravish be expelled from
the conclave."
Long Tom seconded the motion
in q number of loud and detached
sentences, which were cut short by
DR.. Dryhash stating that she had
not made any motion, but had only
stated that he felt constrained so
to do"
Wigglty Wagtail, ESQ, native
lawyer, did not like to see this OPP
portunity for fee pass quietly off,
and he "moved that the two unruly
members be elected in such man
ner as may be afterwards agreed
upon"
Jim Tintrumpet, said that he
"followed the peaceful business of
tailor; and thought the conclave
could get along better without so
much froth. An interchange of
opinions is required in the discus
sion of important questions; and, il
the mechanics had erred, both the
President and Vice-President had
equally erred. Regarding the in
temperate language used, there was
not much to choose on either side;
but the example was due from those
holding the higher positions.
Theo. Gag said--'t hem's my
sentiments, and if that long fellow
there (polnting to the secretary had
shot oil his jaw TO me as he did to
the two mechanics, l would have
doubled him up like pair of COM
passes.
Job Periwinkle thought "there
could nothing be gained by QUARREL
ing, and he hoped the conclave
would return to peaceful and har-
monious working"
Kew. A. Whangbuster had "been
silent throughout all this unpleas-
antness; but he would now address
the chair with view of throwing
oil upon the troubled waters.
Mr.. Presidential is natural for
youn. men TO be impetuous, and
they are generally the more so when
successful in their undertaking.
especially in financial sense. When
success and youth go together the
combination should he closely watch
ed. In this dangerous connection
experience cannot give her helping
hand, and the dictates of prudence
are often hushed TO whisper. l
am glad that grey hairs and other
signs of mature age form so large
an element of this conclave, which
decidedly needs restraining in
duence. Exhibitions of petulance,
hatred, prejudice, or even exclusive
ness, do not strengthen any political
party in whose ranks these vices
show themselves. AS said in one
of my first speeches in your pre-
sence, we should "be all things to
all men," This advice was given
by a much wiser man than any one
present here this evening, and the
wisdom of the advice has been con-
firmed' in every generation. We
must learn to govern our tempers,
or else we will be sure to lose the
election. Our political enemies are
much more numerous than the men,
beers of the Calathumpian Party land
it will not signify that we control the
army, and the several branches of
the government service, if the ma
jority of the votes be against us. l
therefore counsel circumspection and
forbearance, and may God speed
our cause"
"Amen!" groaned DR.. Dryhash.
$50 mote it be!' said Job Peri
Wrinkle.
"Och Aye!" sighed Angus Nc
lavish.
"Gammon!" calculated Dick
Blunt, who turned his magnetic eyes
upon the Vice-President, and gave
that gentleman a whitening and ex-
pressive glance.
During all this time the President
had been studying the situation. He
felt the position insecure, and every
remark that fell from the speakers
seemed only to confirm his fore
holdings. Even the oily words OF
Rev. A. Whangbuster fall d to re-
assure him; and the discord, which
had shown itself in the conclave,
moved as spectre in his mind. He
held portfolio in the cabinet which
brought him Il large salary, and he
ielt that it was about TO go from hlt
grasp. Then what would he do;
His power would be gone, and he
would be reduced to the level ol
other men, with no trade or prOfes
sion to fall hack upon.
While he President was meditnt
ina in this fashion, Jabez Corncobb
Esq who had been out on a mission
