MR.. EP|Z00T WILKINS
He Attendz the "Din1icratic Sirius and Animal Sho''
at the State Convention in Ohio and has some Mis-
givings About the "AttitO0d."

lntu the hevoloosnunary war. at buunrr
Hill, but hoo won't vote the Dimicratic
ticket in Ohio this yeer, and straddlin 2
bosses he did in different direcshuns, on
the Cuban and F%illipeen wars, and putin.
in q good lick fer our Dimicratic ally in
the Fillipeens, wich IL Mr.. Aguinaldo,
hoo, at last akhounts wuz all rite and
enthusiastically opposin the administra-
shun Nv William Mckinley.
We also resolooted strongly agin hitch
in ontu emmy %entanglin alliances with
Turin kingdums and empires-without
waitin tn see wether tina wantid tn en-
tangle themselves with the Dimicratic
party wv Ohio.
We hit the Trusts and the politikal
Bosses a staggerin bio, and showed
how consistent we wuz bi maxim the
most offensiv Dimicratic Boss in the
whole staff our candidate fer guvenor-
and the one hoo il in every Trust ez fer
ez he kin git intu it.
We also declared ourselves in favur
NV the inishiativ and memorandum, but
he'd sum trubble in gittin it throo, on
akhount NV the most NV the delegates
not KNOWN whut it wuz. Tha thort it
wuz sum nu kind Nv mixed drinks. We
put in a resolooshun agin sweat shops,
and he'd one reported agin mite sweats,
but it wuz rooled out on a pint NV order.
We got the platform throo the conven-
shun without mulch frickshun, but wen
it cum tn nominatin a candidate fer
guvenor thare wuz sum plane speekin
tibet orter hev bin supprest. 1t wuz real
mean fer General Warner tn allood tn
Mr.. Kilburne ez "a man hoo lives in
the %stait," and fer uthers tn refer in a
sarcastic we tn Mr.. McLean's big wad
Nv munney witch he will so grately need
in Ohio before he kin be elected guvenor.
Thare wuz one nu feature NV the con-
venshun witch made a crate hit, and tibet
wuz the big stump speech witch the Rev.
Mr.. Kearney fred off in his prayer at
the openin Nv the performance. Dimi-
cratic ministers air so skarce, ez a rool,
it wrot the delegates up tn a CRATE pitch
Nv exsitement wen tina saw a real live
one start the SIRIUS, and inform the
Almighty tibet He must du the square
thing bi the Fillipeenoze, and deliver
them frum 'the brute force now bein in
ficktid ontu EN-" bi the minions Nv a
Republican administrative.
Ez a whole the program witch wuz
mapped out wuz put throo with ez little
hitch we Good expect wen we remember
tibet we he'd tn crowd down the threats
Nv thousands Nv good Dimicrats a maj
hoo wuz mortally hateo bi EN-. But
munney talks this yeer and it he'd tq be
dun whutever the consequences. The
resolooshuns don't make much difference,
fer an Ohio Dimicrat is expected tn
swaller whutever IL sot before him with
out asking my questshuns; but wen l
think wv the attitood we shall be placed
in if our Fillipeen combinashun don't
work I tremble fer the result. Givin
ade an cumfert tn the kountry's enemies
in time w wal hain't brot no distressin
amount Nv glory tn the Dimicratic party
wenever tina hev tried it. (.
