not refuse to see anybody. Most every.

You are no doubt getting good prop
erty if you buy the paper. Do not count
too much. however, on the good will of
paper. When l closed out at what vss
called by the foreign clotbier who closed
me out "a great sacrifice" did not GET "a
much for the good will of the paper a.
did for the navy revolver which I had
used in securing the good will.
You need an organ if you contemplate
coming before the people as a candidate.
and would say that you should lose no
time in closing the trade. Unless he has
basely deceived you regarding the bucket
and the potash, you will do we'll to close
with him at once.
The beauty of having an organ whils
you are candidate is that while you can
say the most fulsome things about your.
self no one will ever suspect that you have
any interest in the paper. No one ever
does. With paper, Mr.. Smith, you will
be surprised to notice how the public will
be as clay in your hands. Guard with
jealous care the good will of the paper.
used to put the good will of my paper Oh
top of the dictionary and then put the die
tionary in my chair to make it high
enough to fl the desk. When the of6ce
was afterward shot into by admirers of the
paper, the good will and the dictionary
alone escaped mutilation.
You will excuse me, Mr.. Smith, il in
closing 1 wish you well, and also expires,
my amazement that green politician
should punctuate so we'll and write such
good copy for the printer as you do. Can
it be that you are, after all, Journalistic
