The herald., 1896-05-04

marked the deputy zanjero as he check
ed off the Pullamn drawing room res
ervation upon some transportation from
the law department, at the Aracde de-
my hand some'bout de program up In
de malaria end Of de state a day be-
hind tomorrow. We aire again to send
Jim McLachlan through awhoopin.' De
poetry in de book up to yesterday was
to ditch de Pasadena Puddin' and in de
nine hole. run up de racin' colors of
Herv. Lindley or Gov. Sheldon, but
all de golden color in his whiskers an
de ISOLATION it bucked Sheldon's aget-
tin in de fight right cause we needs de
governor to save de country when 1t
comes to 'lectin' a man to do dis feller
George Perkins from Oakland next jan
uary. Besides McLachlan is cheap We
has him an he don't show up in de Ar
game for me an John Muir. an de long
wharf down by Bob Eckert's free
an easy. OF course some of de
bean counties IL snag an buck
on Mac. but we kin choke. 'em
off by raisin' de cost of cartin' dere
prunes down dis way. or beatin' dere
man as is to trot ,sid Lindley to St.
Louis in Gle dog days. r'
'McLachlan's as good as winned out.
in spite of de colonel an San Pedro an
de chamber of commerce"
Say, when Mac run first two years
ago, we'uns in de ISOLATION all had him
sized for a second cousin to ST. Pat
rick. His name was kinder South of
Ireland like McKinley's, you under
stand. He wasn't one of us den, an
all us good people was about ready to
lop it to him. John Muir an Lindley
calls me in for session an I sees Nc
Lachlan an axes him to join de 'socia
ton. III join anything says he. to
win out dis race, not barrin' de Saliva
ton Army nor de California club So
swears him to do de pope an Martin
Marsh an Andy McNally an Johnny
Gaf1ey. an he passes de outer guard
all right an proper. But 1t was a close
shave, cause de 'visory board looks in
de dictionary an finds dat Mac hisself
bein' agin foreign immigration, his
great grandfather come over from de
old country, an cousin of his'n In
Scotland once went by cathedral once
atakin his hat off right den to wipe de
sweat off his whiskers. Since Mac has
got to Washington he's asquared his
record by wastin' big talk for spendin'
money for schools only as is inspected
by Rev. j. S. Pitman. an for two har-
bors. OATS why all us people as kin
see right side up wild care is for Nc
Lachlan."
Say. de colonel is agin' de Pasadena
puddin. an dat settles de lection in No
vember. De old man as is a-swampin'
Mckinley round here writ to McLach-
Ian two weeks ago dat he would have to
shake loose from him. His excuse for
boltin' is dat McLachlan don't believe
w. C. Patterson bout de harbors which
nobody'll get cause we all wants one or
both of 'em. Muir had about figured it
out to put McLachlan on de hog. but
when d1e heerd bout de colonels letter
he back tracked on his own trail an
made up his mind to keep de Pasadena
orphan in de walkin', an dat feller
Muir's got a head on him like one Of
Walter Parker's diamonds. 1t shines all
de time and extra fine when de sun goes
down.
Say, we didn't do ting to de eagle dis
last week, 'ceptin' to pull de feathers
outen his tail an shove 'em down his
throat. First we used Mckinley to win
de caucuses. den we used Mckinley
some more to pull de primaries, den we
used Mckinley in spots where it done de
most good, some more, to win out de
district conventions, an now We'll use
Mckinley again to go to de Mississippi
river mex month Dere We'll do McKin-
ley like we done de eagle, unless he lays
a brand new egg an his name hain't to
be de colonel. We aire de people, an de
Will of de 'socia alton must be respected"
DE captain as Is my frien', Osborne,
struck de town yestedey like a brass
band guy a-conin' wild a circus. Dere's S
a chap as kin be trusted, even when dere
hain't been an single head of water in
de zanJa for season. Dat feller kin
help program so quick, he beats a ex-
ress train in walk. You see. de Colonel
he owns Mckinley, or thinks as he does,
which aire de same medicine down by
First and Broadway. De Colonel hain't
in dis fight fer dough. He has money
to feed sick cat wild. He wants to be
great, an is a-playin de mark de 'socia-
ton is boycottin fer system. See
soon as he lands his man, which
may be he will an may be nc, he owns de
earth, an has de world, de frozen orange
belt an all by de tail. De Colonels got
a monstrous round head it bein' some
times swelled. an now he owns a biz
share of de Mckinley works. Dat was
ceilin' spell of his'n a-gettin' on de
ground floor moons ago, when me an
Herv Lindley an de push was a-chasin
chips as pass in de dark an was a-call-
in 'em Allison an Reed an Cullom.
But 1 was a-sayin' bout de cap'n
my frien', Cap'n Osborne He let's dc
Colonel abuse him an whack him out
ten de party, an den, it bein a nice
large day, de Cap'n comes up a-smilin
from under de horses hoofs, where he
was pein' run over, an rides in de bant
wagon wild de boys, where de Colone
can't get in tousand years.
"Good-bye. Keep Fred Wood off'n dt
Workman franchise, an don't let NJ P
Snyder do the oil inspector, as is g
twenty-second story frien' of me an
Herv Lindley's tomorrow. Dere's g
jackpot in dat sleeper wild hundred
dollar limit. I'll tell yuse how 1t hap
pened when gets back home. So long
III see yuSe again"
