rounds in political circles.
Where is the great and only "Sconchln.
and why don't he show up now that cleo
ton day is coming on?
Nobody seems to know. and if you ask
some OF the regular hangers out along the
Zine where "Sconchn" used 10 while away
his time. they will say. II don't know; he
went to the convention at Minneapolis,
and then softly whistle to themselves. HE
never came back; ne never came back"
Others say: ION, he's all right You can
safely bet he'll be back. Went down to
New Orleans and backed Sullivan. Walk
ing home. Be here pretty soon. You never
| see an election without him."
Nevertheless San Francisco will see this
election without him. for in the words OF
Blakely Hall, Maloney has went and went
| for good
No more will his Fenian mug be seen on
the rialt0, no more will his strident voice be
| heard in the halls OF state. and those VINO
were wont to see ana hear him have done SO
for the last time.
When ''Sconchin" went to the conven-
ton at Minneapolis last fall the whole
world wondered and many were the in
| quiries as to how he got there. and where
did he raise the money.
Some said that the railroad company still
retained his services and that he had gone
on to attend to the law business Of fhe cor
poration, or something OF that nature.
Others whispered that General Barnes
had put up large amount Of the yellow
lucre TO be used by Maloney TO defeat the
schemes OF Mike de Young, who had de-
feated Barnes as delegate 10 the conYen-
ton.
None of these rumors were true, how
ever, aud 1t turns out now that Maloney 5
sudden departure was due to the fact that
certain members OF society endowed with
great pity for a g-sufferng community,
tgether with pers NAL reasons too numtr
Gus to mention, had put up Job on the
IRON awed statesman and shipped him out
OF the country.
This was not the ely attempt that was
made TO rid the town Of The aforesaid gentle
man, and many will RENE Der that few
years ago rass was procured and was
shipped off to Japan, with the heartfelt
hope in the breasts of those that sent him
that he would remain away forever, but
like the bad penny that he was. he turned
up again after a few months and resumed
his old striking" position in society.
Those that were IN 1Okohama at the
time of bis sojOurn there say that he was
requested 10 leave by the authorities for
| deoauching the police department.
1t seems that ScOnchin, tired Of the quiet
life around the American Consulate, where
he inflicted most of his spare moments, had
filled up on various condiments known TO
the rounder and started out to have regu-
lar old Frisco whoOp-up.
The natives had never seen a wild Soon
chin before, and when Maioney came
among them shouting out passages from
Shakespeare at the top Of his voice, they
fed in all directions.
Holding his regal way. however, he wan
dered into the arms Of a policeman, and
| although declaring that ii was an outrage
and would bring or q war with the United
States, was carted of TO the police station.
Here his usual luck followed him, for the
chief was an freshman, and as soon as the
brogue was heard they fell upon each
others necks and wept.
After talking bit they found they were
from the same place in the "ould cOun-
thry." and started out TO have q good time
together.
They were found in the morning on the
! docks locked In each others arm sleeping
off their p0tatiOns, which caused the chief
TO be exiled and ScOnchin to return once
more to his adopted land.

with the delights of Japan, that he never
ceased to talk about it. and number Of

petition was sent on to Washington.
signed by everybody that could get q sight
of it, and be was probably the best recon-
| mended man ever placed before the Presi-
dent.
Maloney felt so sure of getting the place
that his friends got TO calling him "Ko KO
Maloney," in honor OF his new Office; but,
alas, some jealous politician sent private
history Of "Sconchin" along to Washing
ton and he was consigned to the soup"
When the convention was held last fall,
Malouey wanted to go to the same people
who had worked the Japan affair, made up
purse and sent him with strict orders to
the delegates not to let him come back, dead
or alive.
After the convention he wanted TO come
back, but lack of the necessary funds pre-
vented. The boys, however, carried out the
programme and gave him enough to get to
New York, taking care to make him swear
that he would never turn bis face TO the set
ting sun again.
When he arrived in the great metropolis
he had his cheek with him as usual, and in
some way or other managed to ingratiate
himself into the good graces of some prom
inent politicians.
Nobody knows how he did 1t, but now the
news comes that he is member of the State
Central Committee and goes around sneak
ing OF "meself and me friend, Tom Plat,
and the rest of the b'ys."
San Francisco will see him no more and
politicians can now walk the streets with
safety and without the fear Of hearing
raspng voice in their ear, saying: Have
ye got segar about yep" or "Have We dol
lar or two to spare ?" For Sconchin has
went" and there is joy in the land.
