JUST TOO CUTE.

JUST lOO CUTE.
In speaking of spring poetry, it
reminds us of certain few verses
that appeared in cold type not long
since, from which there has emf
mated much trouble to the com
poser; rendering him political
wreck, and several thousand dol.
lars weaker in finance. If the kind
public will remember they ran
something like this:
40. Sissy Mckay, o. Sissy Mckay,
Why do you whine in that heart rcndng
way,
Why do you kick with your little pink toes.
Why do you wrinkle your liberal nose?
+
A blockhead like you couldn't have any
show,
In country where genius and intellect
grow.
A mans understanding you'll never display,
Your noldl IS too shallow, poor Baby Nc

| 1t was at II time when great,
big man, that aspired to Lieutenant
Governor, thought he would jump
onto u struggling little newspaper
in our midst and completely de-
molislit it. That it had no friends
and its editor was country boy
that he could scare away with IL
flop like an old woman at the chick
en-. And so he flnpped and Topped
and Topped, but the little bantam
wouldn't fly away.
Here is another one of his flopp-
ings, and by the way it comes in
very good now that the Republis
cans have so unceremoniously
dropped Pursell and placed Mckay
at the head as standard bearer:
"rhe idea of Pacing Tom or Nose
oiogy running Il political party is
supremely ridiculous. Intelligent
men are never led by idiots or i'm
haciles OF the dubby-dub calibre."
This appeared i'm an issue of the
Gazette, March %, 1s93-just two
short years ago-and O, how
mighty is the change and how great
the fall.
AT that time the "big man" was
away up. He was chairman Of the
State Committee, by his own solic-
itation. He was a candidate for
all the big offices, big dog in the
puddle of sin, and felt that it was
like the huge lion playing with the
little mouse, when he would SLAP
Mckay with his big paw.
Where was Mckay at this time
Going along the path of life like &
gentleman. He was Superintend
ent of the M. E. Sunday School
President of the County Epwortl
League, prominent Odd Fellow
and a respected Mason; humble
prominence that the "big man
would scorn. These brothers in the
church did not like to hear theil
uperintendentan and president called
an idiot, for it threw them in Il baf
light. The Odd Fellows and Ma
sons, who are sworn to resent the
assailant of II brother, were not al
together pleased with Mr.. Mckay
being called such unpleasant names
,, by man that the black balls coulG
not be numbered against should he
apply for admission to their honor
able order.
And so 1t went on. The abuse o
the big man fell thick and fast up
on the head of the strus sgling gen
tile. He could not think for mo
Iment that he was cutting his owl
throat, but the experience of twt
years seems to have taught him, b.,
the way he is moping around will

and must prevail.
He has had his day, and his day
were those of SANDER and dirt. Hi
mud-slinging has crushed him, a
it should crush every body who In
dulges in it. The "idiot" that h
said could not run political part,
has i'm two years recovered hi
senses sufficient to be now th
leader of his party in Hooking, AM
to cause his viled-tounged assailan
to offer his paper f1r sale.
