but you come too high and he
had to let Breidenthal have You
Sorry for that, Brer. Kelly, because
when an old-dyed-in-the-woo repub-
lican gets tangled up with the high
sounding phrases that explain the diff
ficulties between capital and labor and
the oppressive and Oppressive monopo-
listic tendencies of the times and the
slavery of the debtor and the tyranny
of English capital together with the
Importance of immediate soeialistio
revolution to bring absolute equality
and justice to all and the necessity Of
adopting the initiative and the referen-
dunn, when, as we said in the beginning.
when a republican plunges into this
populistic deep sea of political uncer-
tainty, he finds himself laundering
among lot of experimenters and be-
levers in the widest fakes and theories
that ever added the brains of men.
Brer. Kelly, you are now in this sea.
1t ever you needed life preserver,
you need it now. All the hifalutin Of
your letter and all the mystifcations
of your financial and economic theories
and your dull platitudes will not ex-
plain the difference between what Lee
land offered and Breidenthal proposes
to give. The boys will continue to-
ask of you, Brer. Kelly, what was ths
consideration. No, it won't be fair,
because any man has right to change
his politics, but then they will do it,
you know.
Do you think, Brer. Kelley, that the
pops will be wise enough to send you
to the senate? Will they have the
Judgment to see and appreciate the cut
of your senatorial jib? They do some
queer things, it is true, and if you
could suggest to Breidenthal, LEVEL
ling and other candidates for the senate
that you were going to stand strictly
on the original pop plank, not much
used now, which read, "the Office should
seek the man, we believe your chances
would be greatly improved. There is
no charge for this advice, Brer. Kelly.
We offer it on the ground of old
friendship, and besides, the mission Of
this excellent paper is to do good. We
can see your embarrassing situation as
you cross the threshold of the kitchen
of this new party. The pastry cooks
may at first consider you a staff officer
for Gen. Sanders army seeking tempo
rary refreshment. The officers of the
kings household may look coldly upon
you. But bide your time Brer. Kelly and
use your wood saw industriously. True
merit is bound to be recognized. Genius
like yours, eminently fitted for leader
ship in the crank revolution now upon
us, cannot long remain undiscovered.
Brer. Kelly, you may not find the path
way to reform, of the Kansas brand,
strewn with roses. If you fail to reach
airy or martyr and thus surprise your
friends. The board of health might
require an investigation to hunt for
cholera. The board has money, or il
will have if the auditor does not kick
against the 1000 steal, and while such
position might not satisfy your lofty
ambition it would enable you tor
keep your ear close to the prairie
grass. You see, Brer. Kelly, our adj
vice is along the line of promotion
You will be Jealous convert because
you are new. You have been one Of
the boys of the world so long that 10
will not be easy for you to adjust your
self at once to the harness of reform.
The tugs will have to be shortened and
the check reign drawn tighter, and we
advise the managers to put one OF
those new kicking straps on to keep
you from getting your feet over the
dashboard. If it is your intention
Brer. Kelly, to go entandem with Mrs
Lease and Mrs. Diggs. we suggest that
the turn out would be little gay,
if Breidenthal held the
reins.-Capital.
