Tampa Tribune: Attorney General
Lamar told rich anecdote in his speech
this morning. He said three boys were
standing on corner discussing politics, one
OF them being a democrat, another q repub-
ncan and the other. little dried~up runt
believing in the third party. An old gentle
man became interested in their discussion
and stopped to listen. An old negro came
| up with big fat 'possum on his shoulder
and the old gentleman told the boys that he
would buy the 'possum and give it to the bow
| who could give the best reason for his polit-
ical faith. The democratic boy said be was
democrat because bis mother had taught
him to be one and his best Judgment backed
up his mothers teac lings The republican
boy said he was a republican because his
father was union soldier and republican
and he believed like his father. The third
party boy, looking at the old gentleman as
il to determine whether be would keen his
promise, said II believe in the third party
'cau;e-'cause want that 'possum." Col.
Lamar pointed an excellent moral to his
tale by adding. And that's what's the
matter with Mann, Baskin g. Co.-they
want Office and the Democratic party
wouldn't nominate them, aud that's the
reason why they are third party men,"
