LOTS OF Fun IN WASHINGTON.

LOTS OF FUS IN WASHINGTON.
We have lots OF fun in Wash
ington. This is headquarters
the pulling Of the wires. We
make daily reports of what Is
going ON throughout the States.
The truth we carefully keep to
ourselves. The lies we start
around to 30 their work. The
bigger the lie the faster it will
travel. Here is where the fun
comes in, watching the journey
ing of the lies. What papers
will take them up and print
them az solid truth, and watch
ing the uninitiated swallow
them whole like pigs would
mellow apples. l tell you we
Lave fun here, sitting upon the
prominent mountain Of pluto
cratic greatness: toying with the
rabble at our feet, surveying the
whole field OF politics, issuing
our orders to our underlings IN
every State, sailing our cattle
with good plutosratic doctrine
on every hill, witnessing with
what anxious upturned faces
they humbly ask for more. Oh,
We have fun in Washington.
We've brain, boodle, backbone
and buncombe in Washington,
and don't you forget. We have
already started nsws that the
Alliance is composed OF cranks,
political heretics and vile rene
gades, and is going to do no good
in any State. AS soon as we
started it the whole plutocratic
press rehearsed it, and the fools
will believe it. For this class
We print mostly. This is some
amusement to us; how we gull
them, But the funniest part
we make them pay for the gull.

Here's whore the fun comes in

We have two wings to one
army. Harrison wants to b.
general OF the right wing; Har
rison is all right. Cleveland
wants to be general of the lef

but he turned fool and said h

election. But David Hill i
smart; he has such cold tina
he can't talk when he is aske'
about free coinage. He has
splendid opportunity to play tn
