velt's denomination. Hanna givs out
that he is a great gun and can carry
the solid south in the republican ma
tional convention and that he holds.
the balance of power. What he would
like is to hav Roosevelt dependent on
him for his renamin' and then Hanna
could crack the party whip over his
head and make him thumbs up as be
pleased. But Roosevelt keeps rite.
along mindin' his business and maxim
friends and knockln' it hard to the
trusts and he's got more friends and
support today than he ever had before
in his born days. Hanna is in close +
touch with the trusts and combines and
millionaires, and Roosevelt is very close
to the heart Of the common people and
I reckon that Hanna will be doWned
in this fight on Roosevelt. The For
aker push in Ohio is no small crowd
and they are after Hanna and take it !
all together L predict and prophesy
that Hanna will surrender uncondition-
ally to the public sentiment and will
simply hav the satisfaction when he
gets thro Of ,knowin' how big an ass he
has made of hissef and how little he
has accomplished against the popular
Roosevelt. 1 just hope that the people
will sit down on all bosses. One thing
l like Foraker for is that he is after
Hanna's scalp.
That Omaha Judge that issued an.
injunction enjoinin' a woman from
talkin' about her naybors takes the
cake. Why amt some Of the Solomo-
nistic lawyers and thinkers Of the
country caught on to this scheme of
~shuttin' up the women before? Just
think of what this world mite hav been
all these years. amt SO much use for
this rulin' by injunction business as
some others but if anything under the
sun, can be found to shut a Woman's
talk when she gets a good head of
steam on, why that's the remedy when
all else f''". This Omaha woman had
been g pin about her naybors and
had $ f1sly interfered with the
sereni /of their mind and tempera= y a'ar',
Bnent5 And the Judge joined her from
gossj pin' to or about any one livin' in
the apartments @sr stoppin' in front Of
said apartments to gossip or from carry
in on the gossipin' habit in, at or about
the said premises to the disturbance
and annoyance of said naybors. There's
one or two gossipin' females up to
Austin that I wish somebody would
tackle with an. injunction: to see
whether it would operate effectually
There's nothin' goin' on that they don't
tattle about and lots of other things
that they don't know a thing about. II
an injunction would plug up theil
talkin' machines so they wouldn't work
'em so recklessly, 1 tell you it would be
great. Who will muzzle the cat? ~

Twas glad to get dry day last weel
