| soSle'eye, but you can't write a letter to
ketch us fellers out here where we raise sech
statesmen as Buck Hinrichsen. and the big.
gest corn in the country. You set down at

2aras Bay an you sort o. git an idea in your
mead that you know more about money than
Us ieIlers out here in this great prairie State
"here oats grows as high as your head-when
IL amt too pesky dry an the signs is right
anu the Governor puts in most of his time
writn' letters.
Grover, you may not know IL, but jes'
come over to tell you we I'VE got the dadgast-
edest letterwritin Governor you ever run ND
OF INK in the middle. He's got tub full OF
words an when he turns loose he smears
them on with whitewash bresh. Some time

over tho Now York Central Railroad 10 shake |
on the effects, an 1t is whispered around |
fuckebrush that Mr. Depew is not complain. |
ing yet of feelin' eny too good.
Then, Grove, on another occasio, he -o,,,o,,.o,
tho Supreme Court an Judge Woods for tho
rank treatment they give Gene Debs for the
little tantrum he tuck last summer when he
tried to oust the Pullman cars and regulate
the runnin' OF the u. S. mails | tell Won
uIoFe' we've got Governor that IL don't
take much to provoke him 10 write a letter
ne seems TO like letter writin almost as we'll
as the pardon business.
now listen, Grove. an I'll give you some. |
thin' on the dead" II you get gay when
a"ay on hshin trip an get run in, send for
our governor, and he'll pardon you out, for
ne 5 a llm hummer at the business
SAID he'd pardon you. l amt SO blamed |
sure about that Maybe he haint forgive Won |
Tor sending them United states regulars into |
'his state last summer. He never forgits |
ehything an i don't think forgivin' Is his |
ohg sult but there'd DO no harm in tryin' |
nm IL You ever need his service. But revert.
hg TO the phinance, Grove some OF us fellers
las got 1T in our heads that you are a little ,
100 sound on the money question. We are not {
'nly in favor OF the free and unlimited coin. I
ge OF silver. l6 tol, but go further an are in q
aVor OF corn, wheat, oats, beef an pork 6
ein made legal tenders for all debt, public !
n private, at 10 to i, or thinner II possible. !
silver can be coined at 10 to and made a q
egal tender, why can't corn be legal tender I
'ow Grover us fellers cut here about Puck. a
rbrush think you are afeard if silver is made
legal tender that corn will foler suit and .
on VIII have TO take your salary in corn. .
'ell, suppose you did, You could have il made
ITO Ticker to use an appetizer when out o
shin or to skeer away the chills when duck. p
lootin'. O.
In conclusion, Grover, you ought to be ~
NAMED for gettin' in with the gold bugs ~
s because you are afraid cowhides. corn or :,
methin' will be made legal tender If silver =,
