About the meanest man that ever
existed in this community, I take it,
is hotel keeper who not only fails to
pay the bell-boy and the elevator at
tendant their monthly stipends when
due, but coaxes them upstairs of an
evening, inveigles them into game
of poker, and wins all the ducats they
have collected during the day in the
shape of tips.
Since the story told by Breckenridge
has been made public, the members of
the police force have been seen in pairs
much oftener than formerly, especially

Stove Polish Morse has once more
come to the front, opened his mouth
and put his foot in it. This time the
dotard displayed his ignorance in the
House on the day set apart for eulo-
gies on the late Senator O'Neill, of
Pennsylvania.
According to one who was present on
the occasion referred to, Morse told of
his travels in Europe and his hopes of
a bodily resurrection, which he evil
IDENTIFY understood as parallel to a re-
election. Morse" said my informant,
talked of everything under the sun.
Mentally Morse is not much of a gun.
He doesn't hold up for one thing: he
shoots under and away to the left. His
front sight needs knocking over and
his hind sight notching up. And
another thing which grew palmer as
Morse pranced further in was that the
stove-polish publicist didn't know
enough about the departed O'Neill to
dence In some poetry which the gifted
Morse. sprung on the five men who
were listening to him"
During his rambling, if not incoherent
chatter, the Rising Sun of Massachu-
sets said:

The explanatory parenthisis, as we'll
as the vile grammar, both belong TO
this engaging congressman The ap-
propriate taste of it all is displayed
and some light perchance shown an an
how much Morse knew of the man he
was "eulogizing." while that gentleman
was yet on earth, when one learns that
F., O Neill who died at r. was a bachelor
all his life and preferred it that way.
He never was married and never
wanted to be, and the point L want to
make is that if the gentleman from
Massachusetts is so confoundedly ignor-
ant of the lives and characters of the
men with whom he daily associates
how can anyone reasonably expect him
to know of the needs and the issues

When Tillman first came forward a,
a political figure he was received will
little consideration. He was uncouth O
figure and speech. He had little edlI

linians had been educated in the north

fond of classic learning. They like
to put Latin phrase now and then il
their speeches. They were very partia

But Tillman undertook to achieve 20
