WATSON AND MARTIN.
"Me and Harry" Get Together and Fix
Up the Ticket All Right.


TON, how do you like the appointment
of George Townsend for collector"
ut suits me, Harry; | told Anthony to
appoint him and | wrote to Ben, too, to
put him in; told him if he did not do it
he could not expect my support this time;
that fetched him; he has never refused me
but once, that was General Wilson for
secretary Of war"
at don't suit me. tried to scare An
thony again and make him give it to Colby
Smith, but | failed to do it. You sec, ]
made bargain with Colby TO make George
Watson his deputy. have got myself
and all of my family in Office except
George and / intend to get him place IL
l have to bust the party wide open. l
carry Brandywine hundred right here in
my vest pocket and am going to put it in
solid for George Watson and Joe Martin.
"That's right, Harry; when we put our
heads together something has got to move;
we ere two of the smartest politicians in
this city and we-know it,"
THAT is so, Tom: now you're shouting;
we do the work and we are going to have
our choice of candidates. Harry Conrad
and Phil. Clark never worked like you and
me. and they are always ready for an office
when there is one to be given out. Just
see the work that have done. Me and
Mcpherson johnson have stood up to-
gether at the court house for weeks at q
time and vOuched for everything in the
shape of a voter that came along. That $
when said that six beats five. That was
smart, wasn't it,, Tum2n
Eyes, sir; but not half as smart as was
two years ago, when | told Drape Devices
that Me- Bach and Mahaify would nomi-
nate Pierce Gould-got knocked out then,
but we wont this time, | tell YOU, for we
have them sure; we workers are going to
have things our own way yet, amt we

"That'st the stuff, Tommy I'm with you;
Just wait until yousee me and my deputy
marshals ON next election morning start
out; We'll make the fur fly"
Don't climb tree, Harry -.
snow, see here, Tom, that's blanked lie
out and out, and don't want you to make
use of it again; if you do, | shall challenge
you to mortal combat. ! will fight duel
and stand up before your steel or bullets.
! am brave man and not afraid of any
thing. You know ! gained that reputa-
ton on last election day. Men that wit
messed the deeds of yalor performed by me
and my deputies on that day will testify to
it. Yes indeed, if there is any one thing
that | am noted for il is bravery"
well, Harry, me and Dan and all the
BOYS will stand by Martin and Watson
and we will nominate them too"
Tom, how does Drape Devices, Sam
Hawkins, Al. Ainscow and all of the fell
lows about Seventh and Market stand 2"
Don't know and don't care; don't say
Drape Devices to me; he is no Republican
any way, for he stays around to Frank
Smiths Office with Bill Prtehett, Tom
Reardon, and lot of other Democrats;
he is no better than they are-don't like
any of them-wlsh Drape was dead any
way. Me and Jim Wilson are going to
run this campaign to suit ourselves going
to make it red hot too; you never saw any
thing like it, Harry"
Tom, who do you mean when you say
Jim Wilson?n
Don't you know, Harry? Well, that
is too funny for any use. suppose you
call him general. | did too before | was
call him Jim and he calls me Tom, just
like old chums; do you see?'
