and get enough woes, either by ballot,
or by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
viva-voce, TO enable the return judges
to declare nm elected, he will employ

hours and fifty nine minutes and fifty.
nine seconds A day to do his work for
him, and | The Cniei Of Saints, would
name the little S lint to do it.
Then my little STUNT would have a
vote that | might give TO Mr.. German
OF the black stripe, or Mr.. Cleveland
of the yaller stripe, as the case might
be.
And then, don't you Sc 2-thert
would be saints and even political
angels in Washington Ii those days
And yet, oh ye of little faith you
are requiring me S.. J)hn to descend
from my "incog" throa-, and drop my
editorial "we", and assume my gen
eric and irrepressible 81" to impress
upon your dull me1taities a thing s.
plain as that
Why Jlmgram's fifty dollar m nth
man viii! vote fer Cleveland every time
| tell him to, and for German every
other time-it German says my VINE Is
old; while Billsmi.h's fly dollar a
month looter, will be just as sure to
vote the tother way as not, no matter
how | tell him.
And yet you require me TO drop my
incognito, wave my Civil service mask,
come down from the clouds where the
angels dwell, and IN thy own Inherent
ego,-that have the devils ow time
to repress anyhow-,remind you that
cit appears that in tile Third district
barticularly Mr.. Smith is tie Mstru

Why, you s,upids you ought t have
know. that all the time
You could not doubt tina, | was there
when the Democratic primaries assem-
bled that | was there at the County
Convention, and that / 7gaS tile Cen

It's Saint.
Your pestiferousness is simply pre-
posterous, even as your preposterous-
ness Is pestlferous.
What did you think | was there for2
You knew | was there, and that |
had come down from M SANITY estate
to secure my own political and per
sonal purposes.
l tell you again, John was there,
and | did 1t; and l did II, because l
knew you would not dare to question
my wise saintliness, or nv sanity wis
dom.
or course, 81 do not care especially"
in fact-I never do care especially,
that is always my way-not TO care
especially, whether school keeps or
not. that Is the only way that saints
can run the machine-by not caring
you know; and so of course don't
care whether that fifty dollar a month
fellow. be Billsmith, or a imgram
man, so long as | can run him.
But you see l must run him at all
risks
Politics is getting to be altogether
too sordid, and we must rely for our
political salvation upon the faith deliv-
cred to the SAINTS.
Ind there am / e0c,y time.
And again, of course, | know that
you are not going 10 do it.
What!!
Elect BiIlsmlth and leave NE out?
Why what was | there for?
tell you again IdIdH.
Has it come to this, that the Demo-
cracy of Cecil will question the wisdom
OF Saint John7
Why. IN Baltimore am | not purist,
the chief of the reformersP
In Annapolis am I not .poilsman?
ready for every grab, whether 1t
come from sun light, or Gas-light?
And in Cecil, where I retreated
from my Chicago independence of all
political chicanery, am l not tie
bravest and the toughest of the lot?
l tell you, my fellow Democrats,
| am getting scared.
l started out to lecture you, but the
further l 60 the more | far you are
rot the saints that flourish in my upper
realm.
Let me close summary by insisting,
that both as to the SO called Con-
vention, and Bilsmith,-I John did it."
