Michael Kavanagh, ESQ.,, poet and
patriot of Pillsbury GAP mill, has brok.
EN- loose again. In a fit of inspiration
he writes as follows in the Tribune
"Will a gang of itinerant ard basc
hypocrites steal away the results OF
Dewey's victory at Manila? Win the
wolves in sleeps clothing who. get
employment in our great flour mills
succeed in banishing prosperity
from the land of Washington
Blaine and Lincoln? Will the silly
fantastic, piebald politician llolo
sway in his grotesque rascality ann
inf1ict on this fair and prosperous lant
untold misery?" No, no, Mike, they
won't do anything of the kind. The
wolves in sleeps clothing who work
in the flour mills will vote for McKin
ley prosperity and full dinner pals
They will all follow your noble ex
ample if you keep silent and save
your rhetoric for some worthy pur
pose.
