GOV. Morton, O1 new OrK VINO |
is the favorite of that state for
the presidency has five highly
cultured daughters who are all
politicians in their ways, constant
lily watching the corners and ad-
vising papa how the wind blows
among the politicians, keeping
him posted. The "cutest' one Of
the bright daughters is the young
est,who advises papa to he a
"jingo, policy man,assuring
him if he is ever elected to be
president OF this country he must
flatter and cajole the working
man and the old soldiers, who
she considers the "jingoes." No
candidate heretofore has ever
tried to f1atter these two elements
in politics, however mnch they
have played the "poiicy game"
wi one or the other. but, no
candidate has secured the good
will of the poor working man
and the old soldiers or his election
would have been assured. Mics
Morton figures that it takes votes
to elect, and reminds her papa
of the fact that there are many
more poor people than rich ones,
and if he can please them in
some way so as to make sure OF
their votes and the votes of the
old soldiers ON the same side,
his election is a forgone conclu-
sion. Nearly all of them work,
and those who do not are too
lazy to vote. and the man who
does not strive for the working
mans and the old soldiers vote
will get left and fall far short of
becoming president of these
United States. All of these
daughters of Gov. Morton's are
wire-pullers and well posted on
all the leading political subjects
being we'll acquainted with the
leading politicians of all the
parties, they have an insight into
much of the machine work that
makes nominations an assured
fact. Gov. Morton will be II
strong candidate from the first,
having the solid vote of the
delegation from his own state
and the promise of many others
(Ex.)
We are a little anxious to
know how the "Boys in Blue,
like this, "Jingoes" sounds very
we'll, coming as it does from a
family that are expecting SC
great an elevation, afamily that
has been so often honored by the
solid support of the limoges
We have had the honor Of
wearing an Eagle" and belong
to the 'old guard" but we draw
the line at aJingoes." The" Boys
should pass this around.
''The American people are
watching the proceedings Of this
Congress. They are tired of being
made thepuppets of the miserable
policies that are being pursued
and the time is coming when they
will say so in terms and tones
that cannot be mistaken. Politi
clans are inventing makeshifts
but the people will marshal theil
mighty columns upon the line o
living issues, and the cont1icf
that will be fought to a finish il
the battle of the Standards.
