A EUSTIS BUTTON.
How Que Interrupted the Proceedings of
the P0pulist Convention.

An amusing incident occurred at
the PoGulisb convention Saturday
afternoon. One of the delegates
espied a Eustis BUTTON pinned to the
lapel of Editor A. M. Morrison's coat,
and addressed the chair, saying that
there appeared to oe traitor in the
camp, as one Of the delegates to the
convention awas wearing a Eustis
button. ALI eyes were soon conferred
on MIR. Morrison, who did not at first
comprehend what was going on,
not having caught the drift
of the remarks. He knew
that he was suddenly the center OF
attention, and did not know but what
the convention was preparing to NOM
mate him for senator.
Chairman Currier called upon the
journal editor to explain how it was
that he was wearing a Eustis button
and still participating in the Peoples
Party convention. Mr.. Morrison then
for the first time discovered the but
ton, blushed like a school boy, and
tore the hated emblem from his gar,
ment. Everybody knew that the
whole thing was joke on Mr.. Morri
son, and a hearty laugh was had all
around. The question is, who put
the button on Mr.. Morrison's coat?
