AND TRICKS
sYMPATHIzER TELLS HOW THE
SCHEME TO FOOL THE PEOPLE
WAS MATCHED AT AD-
AMSTON.
Quotes Fervent Prayer of One Of the
Candidates, Which Reveals Motives
of the Candidate.-complete Ex-
posure Of How They Want to
Fool the People.

One beautiful night it was whispered
that Trickey II think he must have been
trickeyJ, and two of his associates, were
going to hold a so.called union conven.
tion, and not let the laboring people know
anything about it, for they knew, if they
did, they could not nominate their non
union men. So a cute little fellow wit
black mustache and scar on his face
and with his smcet, melodious voice
which sounds like halloing in the bung
hole of barrel, went out and called his
few associates together. This conven
tion was composed of boys, and persons
who fought the Incorporation, and boys
under IA years of age voted.
And, now, Trickey says the second
convention was called by the citizens.
Now, / have no doubt but that Trickey
meant to tell the truth, but he has
stretched the truth very, very much and
made it so thin that he has cracked it.
For, the second convention was called
by his own men, and Mr.. John Frazier,
the first gentleman on the floor, said that
this convention was called to indorse the
ticket that was already nominated, and
he called John McCabc to the chair, and
Mr.. Jim Garrett was called to act as
secretary. OF course, that was accord.
ing TO parliamentary usage, and l could
not, would not, state here the language
that was used or the way it was conduct,
ed. They are more to be pitied than
censurcd. Poor fellows, they did moi
know any better. We feel sorry for
them and would have been glad if Mr.
Southern, or some other good man, who
knows, would have told them how to con
duct a convention, for we are ashamed
TO know that in this enlightened age
there are people in Adamston thdt do
not know any better and would condu
things like they did.
1t is said that after they had adjourned
one. oil the candidates was heard offer
ing the following prayer:
Dear Father, help us to pull the wool
over the good peoples eyes of Adams,
ton. Oh! help us that we may contriye
some scheme, so we may fool the hon
est people and on the 18th of next month,
may We receive enough votes, so we can
have things our way. Father, you know
we are great sehcmers, but we have the
good an honest people to fight. Thou
knowcst all about our schemes and how
we have been and how we are
trying 10 fool the laboring people. Thou
knowest we do not care anything about
thcm and that we have helped to keep
them down and always intend to.
Father, help Us 10 keep Wayman Og-
den ont Of the field, for We feel, if he
comes out, We are gone and our happy
Tcams Of the future are faded away.
Help me that | can do something that
viii cause my brother, father-in.law and
five brothers-in-law to help me, for if
they do not ! am lost and my home
has been moved back for nothing
"Oh, Father, must, must be elected
for want 10 be with those Of my kind.
Thou knowcst can not keep my big
mouth shut and ! am afraid people will
not believe what ! say. know do
not speak the truth. ! feel it in my
bones that am going to be defeated.
The long pcnt.up tears have been
flowing down my checks. Oh, Father,
when will they cease TO flow? Boo boo,
| can say no more"
