Bro. Brian, of the Comrade, has knocked
the bottom out of his little political tub,
and it will keep him busy bailing from
this time until next April to prevent his
craft from sinking under the flood OF
ridicule and suspicion to which he has
laid himself liable. His late attempted
dicker with the anti-lotteg committee in
New Orleans reminds us very forcibly OF
the fable about the fox that got his tail
cut of in steel trap.
