IBIS weather is zero along side dc
steam beer brand of hot stuff me an
Herv. Lindley an Walter Parker had
up north last week." remarked the
Deputy Zanjero hopping the perspira-
ton from his face with a full sized
American flag bandana as he gulpedci
down dozen raw at THE Deadfall
on Third street yesterday. DE cam
paign aire now fairly on. but 1t took
all de nerve me an Herv Lindley's got
to shape de ting so as 1t 'el run smooth
from now to November. Dis felieT
Spreckels, as has just buyed Republic
can interest in de party from Uncle
Coils and John Muir, has had to be set
down on again de second time since de
curtain went up. Sprecksy is kind OF
hog. He havin' paid spot cash wants
TO run de whole works. Me an Lindley
an Capin Osborne an Frank Flint
went over de mountains last week to
play fair an do all hands, not eXeptin
our own selves de right thing. We gets
up to Frisco an finds dat Spreckels
wants de earth. He was called down
kinder easy like at first. but dat fetches
his dander up. an IL he couldn't name de
tors an de bell boys to Billy Arthur's
campaign and to twenty others, he'd
be sugared If he'd play at ALL He'd
withdraw his support from de party an
all dat rot over again. Will put
de screws on de geyser? whispers Herv.
over to me. Sure. says l. Lift dat dude
Teller often his perch. We aire de peo-
pie, an he is only a rank outsider. as
has got to take what he kin get. or else
de ISOLATION II turn to an again do
business wild St Michael, de old director
general of de party. We has no favors
to ask of de sugar grower, de sweet
thing. He needs us more'n we need him.
Right you are, says Hervey. Watch me
call down dat youngster. Look here, says
de golden haired slugger from Whittier
to de racin' sport from de north, what
kind of Republican are you. anyway?
You're talkin' about boltin' de party If
de program haint alined UP your
way. You're al kid to be al
ways abellyachin' and ,damfoolin'
rot like dat. Who give to you de milk
of human kindness over in Sacramento?
1t We're Herv Lindley. Who brushed de
flies often your overcoat when Mckinley
an de South of Market street rockrollers
had you in de door? 1t were Herv
Lindley Who raised you up when you
failed by de wayside playing euchre wild
Steve Gage an de ISOLATION? 1t were
Herv Lindley again. Now you'he talkin'
bout boltin' an it's Herv Lindley has
once again to blow de dust outen you're
eyes an lead yuse Alright When my
friend de colonel afattened me out from
hell to breakfast four years ago, didn't
bawl round bout boltin'. l took my
medicine like de gun wasn't loaded wild
Cannon. l come up -smilin' de next
time an den another Whittier zephyr
turned me turtle. ! braced up for a
third term against de pack, wild only
half stack of whites an Walter Par
ker to play de hand. Dis season I'm
on velvet. l never bolted an never
will. If you'll do it similar yuse II win
it likewise. If yuse wants on de odder
hand-an' Herv looked direct where
Parker's ten-stone diamond were al
ways anchored-if yuse pulls de hole
wild you, after yuse has a-crawled in
side of 1t. den yuse II get de worst of it,
widout rebate for de capital yuse has
up to date invested in our machine"
"SpreckelS was about to weep bout
dat time, and a gold twenty which John
Muir give to me for expenses before
left the Arcade depot, had turned
into a greenback ten on de spot,
'twere so warm. De sugar glut he tum-
bled through all right an proper, an
he let's the band play de rest of de pro-
gram wild no more encores.
I'VE aire agoin' to have a campaign
committee all our own on dis side Of
de mountains. Judge Dudley of San
Diego is to be de chairman an Walter
Parker de secretary Dis state hain't
big 'nough for me an Spreckles an
Herv Lindley to program in all to onct
Null tl CttNe NdSS dill I llClc SOIlS
gets let down too easy de way de things
now abuild up De Long Wharf gets
us too cheap, an some of de birds round
dis hall is akicllin cause dere hain't
near dough 'nough to go round. Herv's
thousand a month hain't big 'nough
to get much by de Pasadena cars on
Broadway near Fourth an a pass hain't
no good if yuse hain't got little stuff
for meals round Fresno an Mohave.
We has de bulge on the northerners dis
season an we're agon' to press de
limit in de game.
Muir is a-kinder losin' his grip
a-foolin' wild de Trinity, which aire Tom
McCaffery, Dolph Ramish and Gen. Last.
Dat fight down in Turner hall could
have been won out dead easy If de Ca
huenga cyclone had a-stayed east one
day more. Too much wind blows
everything into the middle Of mex week,
an de Weathers too warm for Bourbon
labeled c. S. p A. If McCaffery had
a-been busy keepin' de San Fernando
! tunnel free from smoke, an Ramish had
a-been a-fryin' de PLAT outen de new
crematory, an de Cahuenga valley had
a-been busy chasin' de teredos off de
long wharf, things might have been diff
ferent. But what's de use a-whimper-
in. | told Muir dat only de ISOLATION
aire his friends in dis end of de horse
corral, an de Irish is never to be de-
pended on anyhow. Dem precinct chaps
II have to pay a-ridin on our cars mex
month. De hog trains good 'nough for
dem as haint our friends.
We aire. TO take anodder shot at de
hitchin' ordinance tomorrow, an den
what's left of dat jolly II be feeded to
de elephant down in Agricultural park
Dem merchants belongs to de wrong
ISOLATION to expect any favors from any
of our people. Dey has votes, of course,
but deY always eats too much de day
before lection an dey has de govt de
day followin'. De hack drivers an eX-
pressmenS union don't eat at all Except
on lection day We aire for de down
trodden an oppressed laboring man
every time. Never a-Workin' ourselves
we knows what it is.
DE circus has been shut out an de
cash fund aire shy $500. Me an Sam
kingery don't care. We has winned out
our fight for principle. Sunday parades
don't so cause it keeps people to.home,
when dey oughter be down by Santa
Monica canyon ablowin' in dere dough
agin Senator Jones swimmin' baths an
Johnnie Muir's espee. Me an Kingery
has two bran new ordinances, one a
changin' all hands as IL eat luttuce salad
dis summer, de color bein' bad, an de
odder maxim it a plenepotentiary Of
fence to breathe on de holy Sabbath day
outside de walls of Parson Pitman's
church, which aire situate bout a mile
from Johnny Vaughn's pill compound
cry in de Fourth ward.
Good by. I've got to look into John
Cline'S last applica ton to Join council
