IAN illegible candydate" Mr..
Dooley, sis a candydatc that
can't be read out iv tn party.
'Tis a joke l med up. Me frind
Willum j. Bryan reads tn Com

silf. Whin ye see two men with
white neckties go into a sthreet
car an set in opposite corners
while one mutthers 'Thraiters
an tn other Kisses 'Miscreent, -
ye can bet they're two dimmy-
cratic leaders thryln' to re-unite
tn gran Of party. IT'S on'y tn
part iv tn party that can'trread
that's thrue to tn principals iv
Jefferson an Jackson.
ssMe frind Willum J. is not a
candy6ate. He's illegible as an
editor but not as a candydate.
Anyhow he don't want it or at
Taste he don't want to want it an
not get it. All he asks is some
good man, some thried an
thrusty dimmycrat that can lead
th' party to gloryous victry. But
he can't find him. Ye say Hill?
Well, me frind Willum J. was
asst to ask me frind David Bin
nitt to go out f'r to make a speech
at dimmycratic bankit on tn
traditions iv tn dimmycratic
party, Hill bein' wan iv thin an
on iv tn worst. Gentlemen,
says Willum Jennings, I admire
David Binnitt Hill. No wan,' he
says, is a second to me in afec-
ton FIR that great an good
man he says. I shall niver fail
IN me devotion to him till he
says, 'th' place heals up where
he sunk th' axe into me in ninety
six. But, he says I cannot ask
him to speak at ye'er bankit. /
cannot bear to hear him talk.
Ivry time he opens his mouth [
want to put me fut into it, he
says. Moreover he says, If ye
ask him I'll take me meal at
home he says, FIR tn sight of
that gallant dimmycrat turns me
firm food, he says. So that ends
Hill. We can't go with amy wan
that our sainted leader can't ate
an egg with WITHOUT sin.
"Well, thin, who've we got?
They'se me frind Bill Whitney.
He won't do because tn book
makers niver get up on iliction
day in time to vote. A thousan'
to wan again Whitney, his op-
ponent to carry tn andjiotoroom
on his back. They'se me frind

''Traitor," said Mr.. Hennessy.
"He has got some money!"
said Mr.. Dooly refectively. Il

have him, eh? Oh, he knitted th'
ticket, did he? Secretly9 Oh,
