The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-05-18

Come in, but leave your third ward
voice out In de elevator" remarked the
deputy zanjero, as he peered into the
corridor from one of the bridal parlors
in the Hollenbeck hotel. What wild me
friend Chris Buckley a-holdin down
spring mattress in de mex room an me
odder friend, Col John Dinkelspiel
Spreckels a-punishin' whisky sours on
de odder side of me, an Herv Lindley
an John Muir a-chasin' feas in both
places, a Teller like meself as is a-tryin'
to make of politics a halfway decent
business. can't be any too careful. So
close your face tight, leave your feet
down wild de clerk. an it's me ash run
youse up agin' sumthin' ash may be
turn trick to your advantage. Me an
Buckley, an Spreck an Muir has it all
fixed. We're to help out de blind man
down in dis end, dat is me an Herv ar
Muir ii tend to dat. an Dinkelspiel IL
look out for our end up round de north.
Buck has got to win dis fight, else what
would become of Tom Donahue an Ed
Niles an Jack Delaney? Every mans
got a right to live, an it's a 16 to / gam
Bile dat wild Chris an Spreckels an Herv
Lindley an Mckinley a-swingin' de
helm dere'll be no more frosted oranges
down round South Riverside, an no
more stringency in de money market,
an wheat'll be wort not less dan dos
pesos a bushel.
Funny. hain't it. how few of our
push is up to what's really de live issues
in dis campaign. as hain't yet been alto
gether really horned? Dolph Ramish,
of course, an Tom McCaffery. an even
Martin Marsh knows dat de combina-
ton is better prices for gradin' an paw
in an sewerin'. but de most people as
wears silk socks an paper collars
foot high, like Jay Mary N. Brooks
an Guy Barham, won't tumble dat
protection as don't protect you an me
49, H.. t., to- f~.-
tenderfeet like Walter Parker an Col.
iced an Billy Dunn to daily wild. If
George Patton wins out dis fight, den
good bye to de new crematory an de
liberties of de people for which our
gran'fathers lost der shirts, when 16 to
! bought dat many beers for round,
white dollar.
Say. dis young Teller Arthur as drinks
Mount Lowe springs water in Pasadena
and red eye down to de Wellington, aire
no cigarette pictur dude when it comes
to de stuff as aire high bridge. Walter
Parker dreamed ace-high when he
horned dat youngster. Herv. Lindley
come to me right in de middle of, aSwell
jackpot when had Billy Dunn an John
Pirtle in de door. agoin' to Sacramento
two weeks ago. .Aire Arthur 16 to II
says he. 'Aire he Is to 1? Why. dat in
FAINT aire anything. l says alayin' down
five sixes-Billy Dunn held six of de
same color-so l pulled Herv. up to de
water cooler for a icy touch while we
talked confidential Dat boy kin be
trusted so far as yuse kin pull hum
dred outen Whittier corner lot, 1 says
to Lindley. Put him up for keeps when
we reaches de capital, an keep him
awalkin de tight rope till yuse kin land
him, or sumthin' better. If he's in de
road up dere cut his throat, an if he
haint, win him out Play him both ways
an yuse can't lose him. Lindley gives
me Billy Dunn'S staterOom in de Pull
man den, he was so glad, an goin' over
de mountains dat night he slips me two
Leland Stanford perfectos. cause he
couldn't hold 'em. Uncle Coils would
have fired him an Parker both often de
payroll If he knowd dat Muir had lowed
dem stogies to be smuggled on de
train. Arthur's proved de best cash In
vestment Hervey has made since de
colonel swiped him wild dat pack saddle
two years ago.
when me an de Undergraduates In de
solid south is through with John Dinkel-
spiel Spreckels, dat young feller'H tink
q bran new panic has struck de pocket
where 1t aire lined wild red twenties. We
aire agoin' to throw Lionel A. Sheldon
up to Sacramento mex winter for de man
from de race track. De ISOLATION
aire sweet, but Spreckels bein'
in de sugar" business, he aire sweeter.
Dey say dat feller's got roll as'l reach
from de Arcade depot down to de Coro-
his off leg aire longer dan it's got any
license to be. Well send him on, sue
ceeding George Perkins in January
wild both feet, his legs IL be gone, if de
long green velvet only don't give out,
an it aire pretzels to diamonds it
won't.
I'VE un's in de ISOLATION never misses
a trick, in wet weather or dry. We aire
for pure politics an agin de pope, so
we was forninst Herv. Lindley to ride
in dat limited parlor train to st. Louis.
We knowed we couldn't win out Sheldon
if we stayed wild first principles. so we
doubles up wild Herv. and Walter Par
ker satisfactory all round. Parson Pit
man makes de talk for Lindley an agin
de Irish in de district convention. an
every Teller as had de pass word was on
right away. IT was leetle hard for Pit
man, bein' soul-saver when he works
at IT, but de laws of de advisory board
has got to be obeyed, an dere hain't no
buckin' allowed. Sheldon an Lindley
wins out de cream, an de pinhead push,
as is always assistin' on de fence, will
have to drink dere cocoa dis summer
wild ice in it, an painted black
DE Colonel has a-gone east to be on
de ground in good season when de Nc
Kinley band plays de overture. He'll
show to Mark Hanna how he pro-
grammed de state convention for pro-
lection. Bye an bye, when de Colonel
has a-spent hisself a-blowin' his bazoo.
I.indley II drop in hisself, a-votin' de
California delegation solid. eighteen
people for de man from Canton an 16
to l. an de Colonel IL den have to wait
on de stairs for his turn to get near to
de throne room. Politics aire some
times leetle skittish, an all de pants
buttons in de rye bread haln't always
caraway seeds. Aire yuse on?"
Good bye. 7 has to see bout dat ordi-
nance a-gettin' dough for de cash fund
outen de hack drivers, an de express
men. an De pawnbrokers. Now dat
COLTS has got hit betwiXt de eyes for de
slave harbor down by de lonpt wharf
he has no more use for de nine In dis
hall. so we has to get coin from any
odder unclos as is a-layin' round loose
wild dere toes up. So long, I'll see yuse
again"
