Dialogues Of the Day

II. P-TT-N-"It unfortunately is true
that l can control only seven votes IN my
own precinct; but then that is no criterion
of the respect In which l am held by the
Democratic party. The list of offices
have honored during the past few years
and the important position for which took
| a house IN San Francisco several months
ago give a much better idea"
M w. C-NK-I-G-"Very true, and al
though these fellows think we are routed,
horse and foot. am going to Sacra mento
| next week. The reputation OF such men as
Y. B-d-r-a-n. the fidus Achates Of Poker
Davis, has been vindicated. There are a
few OF us left, and we shall travel on our
| own line next Sunday"

J. N-ON-'N PH-LL-PPS-"You talk
about hot time in Music Hall yesterday.
You should have been with me in the In
dependent convention at San Berdoon. The
town thermometer stood at 1l2, and my
own mercury melted. But those Indepen-
dents are all right. They are as staunch
| for free silver as our club house on Main
street.
N-TH-N C-LE,-'Well, no Fahrenheit
nor centigrade Thermometer could gaues
the atmosphere of Music Hall. l don't
smoke myself but the odor of some of the
cigars that the Garvanza delegates smoked
is with me yet. And the Cahuenga lorna
do was no joke either
TN S-V-GE-"This climate isn't Just
the same as Dawson City, though there are
some warm places there. This talk of my
losing my grip In the Eighth ward is josh.
Why, l had left my trunk there. What
more can a man do to keep the sacred
rights of an American citizen?'
BIB T-DD--"You ought to have staid,
Tom, with the other savages up there,
who can better appreciate your talents.
But you have no longer the lead-pipe cinch
in the Eighth that you once had. You
can't do any good, but you won't be al
lowed to do any HARM
BIB E-K-RT-"D.d we Go business at the
beach today? Well, l should have a smile.
The peoples were plenty and the fishes
was good but not so good as the dinners.
What have we down stairs? Just a seller,
that's all. You call It c-e-l-l-a-r, helm?
Come and laugh with me-"
about faro and roulette down here, but
suppose you can't help it. These officials
of yours must be blind or else get gold
dust in their eyes. They tell me the young
fellows bring their wives and sweethearts
on Sunday, dump them on the beach and
come up the hill again for gamble"
BIB E-K-RT-"Your English words l
can't always have. I thought they gam
boiled on the beach You had better come
to have that laugh with me-"

G-Y B-RH-M lover the long distance tele-
phone)-"Say, Peter, Is that you? I'm in
the devil Of a hole, Peter I want you TO
manage my campaign for me-"
P-T-R M-RT-N-''Your what?"
G-Y B-RH-M-"My campaign, Peter.
don't you know? Some Of the fellows down
here have joshed me into running for the
legislature, and think I'll have to stagger.
Say, Peter, you'll stand by me? 1 want
you to be president of the G-y B-rh-m club.
Well meet at the Palace at 1155 D. m.
every night
P-T-R M-RTN-"Guy, you've gone
sooner than 1 had hoped, but I'll wire to
New York tonight for half a dozen silk
hats two sizes larger than the last order.
You'll want 'em at Sacramento. Order
Ch-rlie H-st-ngs' band wagon, or perhaps
P-rt-r's hanson would be cheaper to meet
me. Well come down and gee you through
at once. THE TRESPASSER.
