Boss LELAND OF jected to q band
PLAYING at Troy because one of its
members was q democrat He order
ed the man off The band stand, but to
his surprise the entire band went
with him. There was no music on
the march or at the Cemetery. The
Troy Times says Of Leland:
The time will yet come when no
selfrespecting cur dog will decorate
the horse thlstles that wave above the
grave OF Cy Leland. He is the most
infamous, bigoted and selfish polite
al boss and dictator this side Of the
inferno. In any civilized community
on the face of the earth some selfres-
pecting citizen would long ego have
filed w Lsland's carcass so full OF
holes that it would not make o collan-
DEF to hold clabber. But our people
have been long suffering and patient
and they have endured insults and
and injuries unspeaksble at the hands
of this infamous, contemplate COW
ardly scoundrel. He has robbed oul
tax payers under cover Of law, bank
rupted and driven from the county
honorable and respectable citizens
He has debauched our electorate. des
troyed our public institutions, invaded
our courts and attempted the des
truction OF our public schools, Gould
more dastardly indictment be found
against any human beingl But The
people are growing weary Of the bur
den. They no longer fear him, bu
they despise him and sooner or Later
the day of wrath will come. Goo
grant the day may not be long de
layed. Leland is growing to be al
insuherable nuisance, hateful alike t.
the sight of God and man, and DIES
tined soon to pass into q malodorou

Jonathan and John.

Should Jonathan and John fall out
The world would stagger from that bout,
With John and Jonathan at one
The worlds great peace will have begun.
With Jonathan and John at war
The hour that havoc hungers for
Will strike, in ruin of blood and tears
The world set back thousand years.
With John and Jonathan sworn to stand
Shoulder to shoulder, hand by hand,
Justice and peace shall build their throne
From tropic sea to frozen zone.
When Jonathan and John forget
The scar of an ancient wound to fret,
And smile to think of an ancient feud
Which the God of the nations turned to good,
When the bond of a common creed and
speech
And kindred binds them each to each,
And each in the others victories
The pride of his own achievement seeS,-
How paltry thing they both will know
That grudge of hundred years ago.
How small that blemish of wrath and blame
In the blazonry of their common fame!
