BUSHNELL CLUB.
They Meet in The ThrOes of
Endorsing the Cover
nOr's Good Judge
Inent.
Funeral Smiles and Ugly Faces Made
at Each Other.


der of the organ, the defunct Bush
nell Club came together once more
for the purpose of quarreling over
a few dollars received for sub-re mt
ing, and to endorse the good judge
ment (?) of the father Bushnell in
his appointment of the Marquis De
Queenberry Hanna to succeed la
Gold Baron Sherman. There were
not many of the faithful present,
but more than might have been
had not each faction suspicioned
that the other was going to do some
sly business, thus they were on
hands to watch. Boss Vickers
stormed in in time to make some Of
the little fish who chirp for Mckay,
almost bite their tongues off getting
their mouths shut for fear he would
hear their awful sentiments. The
meeting had scarcely opened when
Mckay got up and moved that he
himself be endorsed for the Logan
post Office, which motion was heart
lily seconded by Tommy Allen. The
chair, who favors this candidacy,
tried to put the question without
submitting the matter to discussion,
but such vigorous yells came from
the opposition that he at last per-
mitted five minute speeches pro
and con. Col. Pursell, tie eX-boss,
was first to secure recognition from
the chair. He held very favorable
bearing to the motion, that he had
striven for years to place this
county in the ranks of Republican
ism and at the comsumation Of his
high aim he was ruthlessly and
ancermoniously turned down for
the mover of the motion, now he
wished thus to heap Goals Of fire
upon this youthful head, and assist
him to a lucritive position, which
recognition he knew would bury
his fossil party in Hooking so deep
in the avalanche of Democracy
that it would never recover, until
they should send for him to return
to his native heath, and wrest them
from utter annihilation. That he
had been in conjunct with Mckay
in his cndeavor TO crush Vickers
from becoming n member of the
Logan Board of Library Trustees,
failing utterly having it daubed
deeply into their faces by
this distinguished gentleman being
unanimously chosen by the school
board and city council for the long
term Of four years, and to be made
president of the board. That If the
mover of the motion would only
dispense with the services of Tom
my Allen whom be could never
stomach, he would gladly further
his cndeavors in behalf Of the able
motion.
At this juncture Tommy Allen
bobbed up vigorously, and others
playing the fish cork act caused
strenuous rapping by the chair.
Pursell was overwhelmed with
roars Of approval and otherwise,
and sank to his seat, and the eloqu-
ent assailed secured recognition.
SAID Tommy, "Mr. Chairman, ETC.,
| he pc you will bear with me few
while / say aloud my few
have long loved the
gentleman last speaking, have
honored him in my love and his
war record, but alas now he has
spat upon me-" AT this juncture
jerked vigorously at Tom
my's coat tail, some one discovered |
the DEMOCRAT man and yelled,
"Spies, put 'em out" Sargant-at-
arms Col. Kittsmiller seeing our
beaming countenance made but
one stride in our direction when
we vehemently escaped.
