DISPATCH. II am very grave an6
serious man. not apt to be amused
at anything worth speaking about
With feelings of great solemnity ]
went forth to the great republican
show last night il this place. My mel.
ancholy nature was all 5uated up and
enjoyed the performance, a right
smart chance.
The audience was all that
could be expected. The women with
their babies and oiEer children
filed UP most of the house, wait.
ing with smiling faces to hear from
the quartette that every body was talk
ing about all day. There was some
delay getting ready for the quartette.
Mr.. Wells acted like there was some
thing on his mind when he first came
in, as he seemed right fdgety for
little season. | spoke to myself, say.
ing that bow OF Heber's is regular
bicycle bow. 1t pushes forwards all right
but jerks back too quick. This bow
Heber should correct if he mas to re-
hearse it, for you see, MIR. Editor, am
an observing man and when person
bows forward very much aid then
jerks back too quick, it is as much as
too say, our republican breath is bad,
sir" Heber must rehearse. Excuse this
depression.
After some other prel1minaries Heber
got up and relieved the anxiety Of the
women and children by explaining to
them that there was nothing particular
upon his mind. Then he sat down with
IAN exit" l think they call it in the
theaters.
Then the quartette performed some
more. This was fun. Bow the wo
men and children laughed and spatted |
their hands. The singing didn't |
amount to much, but the words and |
grand and glorious sentiments were so
sublime! Taen the sympa thy of most |
everybody raised to a fever pitch. |
Many of the people who had eaten greens
and suckers and thietIes and rawhide |
and ether gardt n truck in p oneer days
felt real bau when these poor fellows |
OF the qurtette told about how bad it |
is to eat crow, but the people here are
kind-hearted ana are always willing to |
mr. E1O,, SI.a
own experience. Excuse this dilgres
sion.
Now the evenings ENTERTAINMENT
was again disturbed by a gentleman |
named Allen. He said he had sbme-
thing on his mind. The old pr3verb
that says that appearances are del eiv-
ing comes In right here [ trieeA my
best to get my share OF what Mr.. z llen
had on his mind, but s9on got sssb in
sympathy with the women AID cLssS]. |
rem who wanted to hear from the qfisf-
teGte that only memorized b few OF
the troubles weighing on Mr.. Aliens
mind. AS | understood him be thA lks
the whole democratic party stuffed the
ballot box at Sanpete. He don't tHiink
any particular scrub did the work but
the whole party. thought they must
nave had jolly time ''scrougihg."
MI, Allen is troubled with the comics
tion of ideas. He has got it on his
mind that all the good that was ever
done in this great country have been
done by the federallsts, wings and re
publicans, and none Whatever by the
democrats. Excuse this DEPRESSION.
BY now the people were tired wait
ing for the quartette, so much SO that
Mr.. Allen also got tired and com
menced to eXort, but with little effect.
Whispers all around could be heard,
Oh L wish he'd stop. [ want to hear
'em sing"
AS Mr.. Allen ''exited" from speak
ing, great applause With exclamation
marks, Now we'll have some more
singin.'" Joy reigned supreme for q
season.
TheL Frankly J. was introduced.
Frankly showed the best, Mr.. Editor,
ever saw him. He had pranceo
one heat already, acted now
like trotting round just for a cooling
off before going in Tor the night.
Brother Frankly preached line dis
course until he undertook to show his
hearers how to be saved. Political
hell and damnation were aWfully pic
tured. Great sensation all over tn t
house. The women and children got
inter ested and almost forgot the quar-
tette for short season, as it were, but
the way to be saved was pro- osed.
The women and children commenced
to cheer up and whisper for the quar-
tette. Excuse this depression.
The people were highly pleased with
the slight interruptions by the speakers
The most of the folks went home much
pleased and wishing the quartette
would come again.
UNCLE DAN.
