| 1t really seems that our American
| Warwick, Marcus A. Hanna, is to have
no peace of mind. Hardly had he hied
himself home from his Jekyl island
conference until the cry breaks upon
his ear of "Another Richmond in the

thing as to them he doesn t care bau-
bee, but he does know good deal about
the presidential field and about presi
| Dental Richmonds. He has had expert
ence with them, and he hasn't any
hankering to see any Richmond, old or
new, appear in the field to snatch the
crown frcm his Richard Consequently
even an unimaginative person can guess
how Marks gorge will rise when he
reads in the press dispatches from the
City Of Mexico that Hon. Joseph H.
Manley of Augusta, Me-, alias Senor
Jose H. Manley, is making the grand
tour Ct our sister republic to the south,
accompanied by "a score Of friends and
admirers, that be is to be s.the Repub-
lican candidate for president" and that
the Mexicans are quite excited by
his visit. Now, Senior Jose H. Manley
is not to be sneezed at, even if Hon
Sam Fessenden Of Connecticut did de-
nounce him at ST. Louis in the summer
of 1896 in language too strong and sui
phurous to quote here for what the
great Nutmegger esteemed infidelity TO
Hon Thomas Bracket Reed and did
uneeremoniously announce to Senor
Jose that ssGod Almighty hates quit

Something of a Warwick.
There are two things concerning this
announcement of Senior Jose's presiden-

Senior Jose is something OF a Warwick

event happened which was not in the
cards to wit, the unexpected appear
ance upon the scene of Rev. Mr. Bur-
chard. The reverend gentleman deliver
ed himself of an alliterative phrase Of
precisely four words, which knocked
Senior Jose's fat into the FIRE most as

Jose might have bagged the presidential
nomination for Mr. Reed had he not
contracted severe and premature case
of stage fright. But it is safe to say
that Senior Jose has learned something
by these experiences and will Profit by
these mishaps when he concludes to be
his own Warwick. When he is a candi-

credible. SO that in this exigency of his
chiefs fate, Mark cannot reasonably
hope either that SeaGr Jose will quit on
that another Rev. Burchard will inter

A Presidential Richmond.
The second featare of the appearance
Of Senior Jose as a presidential Rich

profanity is the place from which the
senor's boom is launched If Mark

ago, Senior Jose, being wise in his day
and generation, has concluded to take
time by the forelock and annex the en-
tire Mexican republic before the next
Republican national nominating con
vention. In sober truth, Joe's plan Of
annexing our sister republic is much
wiser than Mark and Mack of annex
