Hooker And Prohibition.
[From the Rutland Herald.]


INSIDE THE BREAsTwoRKs, Jan. 81
The die is cast. The deed is done. It's
"Hooker and Prohibition
Hurrah for Hooker and Prohibition. ;"
What campaign cry it will be! How
it will thrill the heart of every true Yer
monter. What a ringing summons to
victory!
How the heart of every rrohibilionist
will throb with joy and swell with pride
"Hooker and Prohibition"
Twas a magnificent coup detdt, that
surprised even those who know Brattle-
borus favorite son best; and tonight
they have not yet recovered from their
astonishment and their admiration for
the clever generalship and wonderful skill
displayed in this crowning master stroke
of long career of political triumph.
Hurrah for Hooker and Prohibition! ;"
1t was known that the gallant Colonel
was to be starter as he would say, on
the Rutland Fair Grounds, and his record
was well known; but that he would jump
to the front at such pace and distance
the field was not forseen or even imagin-
ed by the slrewdest of 1.-The boys" and
the short end won heavily.
Ten minutes after the Heralds arrived
this morning. there was mighty commo-
ton within the breastworks. and all was
confusion. There was a scurrying TO and
fro, there were quick exchanges of sig
infant glances, little knots gathered here
and there and in whispers discussed the
situation, while ever and anon the Herald's
dispatch from Burlington was brought
out and read and reread. 1t was read with
spectatles and with eyeglasses, and with
out either. 1t was read backward and
forward. 1t was read upside down and
through the paper from the back side.
Every few moments some one of the
faithful, full of enthusiasm and emotion
Chats what it's called inside the breast
works., would break out with lusty
whoop, and yell:
"Hurrah for Hooker and Prohibition!
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1890-02-06

Word comes up from Brattleboro
that the faithful are spelling for re-
venge on the Phoenix, and are threat
ening to start another paper. Why
not, to be sure They already have
a printing press up here in the sod
she ebang." 1t is true Harrington is
gone but somebody can be picked up
to edit it. Wouldn't it be nice for
these fellows to have an organ of
their own with GEO. B. HIT, l.. L. D., +,
as censor. Ha, Ha Please ex-
change.

SIT DOWN, sIRii

Now, Brother Hooker, look here,
the SITTER has given you some
mighty good advice, heretofore, and
it is going to do so again. You
want to send "Hub." Taylor back up
north, tell the rest of your strikers to
make themselves scarce, hug Levi,
throw a kiss to Waterman & Co.,
paint your cheeks blue, gather up
your long robes of self conceit and
go and sit down in some dark corner
and sing:
I'm poor, little, sorrowful "boss,"
Defeated, disheartened and drugged,"
Ifrd only had the seuse of q hoss,"
My name In this business would never been
lugged.
The farm is over-run with wild brakes.
The cabbage In measly condition,
Fred. Childs takes the postoffice stakes,
And there's nothing for me but Prohibition
And you sit there, too, sir !! The
people don't want to hear any more
from you for long time. They have
heard enough from you and your as
mime foster brother. There hasn't
been a Grand Army meeting, a State
or County fair, meeting of the Sons
of Vermont, or the Sons of the Revo-
luton, or the Son-of-Guns, for two
years but you and Levi, one or both,
have been there to address them.
This has become nauseating-digust-
ing, and the people are sick of it.
They don't want to hear any more
from you. So make yourself scarce !
Crawl into your hole; send up to
Londonderry and get that old bundle
of confiscated SIFTER's and stop the
hole up. Bye, bye !

Shake, All Around!

The SITTER extends its congratula-
tions to the nearly five hundred Re-
publicans, good and true, of Brattle-
boro who stood up last Saturday and

for honest efficient service in public
positions. 1t was glorious victory !!
Shake all around

SETTLED

1t was thought awhile ago that the
question of high license versus pro-
hibition would be an important issue
in the coming campaign, but happily
the matter is settled at the very
threshold, by Col. G. W. Hooker an
nouncing that he favors Prohibition.
Well, the SITTER is pleased that the
Colonel is right for once, and hopes
that he will stick to it.

LOVES WY.
They say it's IN old, Old stosy,
That the soul Of nsture came
OF old, In an hour Of glory,
A loving heart Of name;
With tendefest human feeling,
For the proud, the hardened slave
or lust, for the outcast, reeiing
Through shame to nameless gravA
And that still this old, old story
Is only mystic dream;
That creations brightest glory
b science and law and steam.
But love has its sciences, older
Than the oldest worlds Of times
And its laws and forces, bolder
Than the heroes called divine.
1t loves, and dies, and comes again;
Rejected, 1t dies away;
But conqusrs life through joy OF pain,
Il god OF each night and day.
