Some Pulling Questions about the McKin-
ley and Lodge Bills.
To THE EDIroR-Sir: ! konkluded to mt
you a letter; not that I am much OF a
ritter. for | swOw | hardly no how to git at
what want to rit about.-You see / am
an ole timer from away-back; but onfor-
tunately for me, l don't read the papers
and haven't voted nor red a paper
President Tilden was lected and didn't get
TO fill the offs. l cluded it was no use.
All | know since is what my boy Bill I lis
me You see Bill spires to be some OF a
p~oitishiner, but l recon by the time he
gifts as ole as his dad hele find out a thing
or too. You see Bills only bin ole nuf to
vote since these five or six years past, and
l kalcalate politishiners amt had any
onateral baksets in that time. But what
| want to git st is this, Bill tells me that
the President of these United States of
North America hez issoed his massage
to the CONCERTS of the m and in it
rickomended to silk to the Tareoti made
by a Mckinley and a Force Bill of Lodge.
Now Bill says that man Mckinley who
made the Tareoff want lrcted to CONCERTS
last lection, and that 10 him, and force bill
OF lodge. is tributable the general politIkal
land side that left so many out who
wanted TO git in and that the latter wer
OF the same poitiks rs the president of
these united ate aforesaid and that the
force bill Of lodge belongs to the same
politiks. Now | don't no nothin owe the
tareoff kaise 1t van in the ishooes when /
quit politiks, but Bill tells me it means
the poor man to pay 40 cents tareoff and
go cents for each yard OF goods ne bves,
or in other words he pays 60 cents
for the goods and 40 cents for the
tareof. If that Is it l don't wonder al the
perlitikal landslide. Bill seq that the
Force bill of Lodge means to make it
possible for whatever perlitikal party that
is in power to put one in Office whether he
was really lected or not. Now, il 3 II ia
kerrect | don't wonder WHY there was a
change. / had Almost lost konfidence ir
human mater; but, thank God, | haint
quite lost il, human mater is human mater,
as tile last lection shows and | am booked
to re-ente polertiks from hence forward
and on. | noticed that Bill Miers and
Pete Beanblossom, two OF my neighbors,
who alters heretofore tended lection, and
it is sed voted thu republican ticket,
didn't 90 this lection. While Joe
Lookahead, formerly a stanch repub-
lican, is sed to have voted for the
hole din,ikrat ticket. l dident think much
about it at first. yet l noed they red the
papers; least ways l seed them git them
out Of our post offs at the corners. / now
spect that McKin ey tareoff and the force
bill OF Lodge had something to do with
their axions. | alers found them kerrect
in our dealins. and disposedto do as they'd
be done bve. But as Bill is young yit ]
kant Git all | want 10 no from him. ! axed
him ii this president of the United States
aforesaid was the same Harrison who
lived up to indianapolis, who at one time
was sed to be n captin OF some
city sogers who, II was sed, orga-
nized to shoot down laborin men
who were sed to be demanden advance
owe wages or protesting agin n cut In there
ineaeer wages, and the same OF whome II
has bin sed that he once sed n cheap kotC
covered n cheap man. Now. Bill says lac
kant "a II it Is the same or mott lowed
may he IL was for the axions suggested In
his massage and that attributed to the
lnginapolis man harmonic 80 kumpletely
that my kuriosity Is reused. as you live
IN I%npinapolis and YOUR posted aud | want
YOU to rt me to onst. at the Corners, and
satisfy my mind. Also tell me II my BilI
" kerruct about that Mckinley tareoi
aud that force bill Of lodge.
