we've toT me who We ar-re with FIR
rr,sident" said Mr.. Hennessy. But
Who ARE We goin' to vote FIR FIR Vice
PRESIDENT"
81 haven't med up me mind" said
NJ Dooley. They're both good and
craat men. Hinnery Gassaway Davis
: fine OF Virginian (West) gintle-
man. Through his middle name he is
related to Willum ]. Bryan an he is
father-in-law of another gr-reat man,
eiritor Elkins. Mr.. Davis is eighty
wan years old and has forty millyon
dollars or is forty millyon years old
an has eighty-wan dollars. I'm not
sure which, but anyhow the figures
passes belief. He is a good man an it
is thought that his ripe judgment an
still ripper fortune will add gr-reat
strenth to tn ticket. 1 see in tn pa
apers that he looks twenty years
Younger thin his years an I'll bet that
befure tn campaign is over he'll feel
three millyon dollars younger in his
bank roll.
The Republican candydate is TIL
Honorable Charles Fairbanks, who
halls firm Injyanny. Hence tn wur-
rud hail. He has almost tn same quail
fcations FIR tn lofty office FIR which
he has been unanimously chosen be tn
Treasurer iv TIL campaign comfy. He
is not quite tn statesman that Hin
merry is. He misses it by about thirty
nine millyons. Still, he has enough to
do his jooty worthily through tn cam
pagn. Sinitor Fairbanks has a fine war
record. He sarved throughout tn Civil
War as cashier in tn First Naytional
Bank iv Terry Hut an has liver since
given most iv his time an labor to his
country an his counthry's railroads
He is strongly in favor in preserving
IN goold standard an as much iV it
as possible. Hinnery Davis doesn't care
so much about goold. He has all kinds
an there in a few well chosen wur-
ruds, Hinnissy, is tn biography in tn
two men, wan iv whom will sarve this
country as Vice President FIR tn next
four years in Washin'ton an tn 9TH
er viii sarve it just as much be stayin'
al home.
It's sthrange about tn vice prisidin-
cy, Hinnissy. TIL prisidincy is tn
highest office in tn gift in tn people.
TIL vice PRESIDENCY is tn next highest
an tn lowest. 1t isn't a crime ex-
actly. Ye can't be stint to Jail FIR it.
but it's kind Nv disgrace. It's like
Wrltln anonymous lettherk. Whin Sin
ltor Elkins is asked about his father
in-law now he shakes his head an
more in tn family At a convintioo
nearly all tn dillygates lave as soon
as they've nommynated tn Prisidint
IT fear wan in thin will be nommy-
mated FIR Vice Prisidint. They offered
1t to me frind, Joe Cannon an tn lam
guage he used brought tn blush in
shame to tn cheeks iv a naygur dilly-
gate firm Allybamy. They thried to
hand it to Hinnery Cabin Lodge an
he went bitterly. They found a man
frm Wisconsin who was in dhrink aSF
had almost nommynated him whin his
wife came in an dragged him away
trm temptation. TIL way they got
sinitor Fairbanks to accept was be
shown him pitcher in our sr-reat an
noble Prisidint thryin' to jump a horse
over a six foot fence. An they only
prevailed upon Hinnery Davis to take
this almost onequalled honor be tellin'
MIN that tn raison tn Sage iv Esoo-
pus didn't speak earlier was because he
has weak lungs.
Why is it, I wonder, that ivrybody
runs away firm a nommynation FIR
Vice Prisidint as if it was an indict-
ment be tn gran jury? II usen't to
be so. I've hollered mesilf black in
IN face FIR OIL man Thurman and
hendricks Nv Injyanny. In tn OF days,
Win tn boys had nommynated some
well known man firm New York FIR
Pnsidlnt, they turned in an nommy-
mated great an we'll known man
nm tn West FIR Vice Prisidint. TIL
candydate FIR Vice Prisidint was all iv
IN ticket we liver see durin' a cam
paign. Nh la-ad they put up FIR Prisi-
amt stayed down East, an was niver
allowed to open his mouth except in
"rlun Ibefure witnesses, but tn can
dydate FIR Vice Prisidint whit firm
wan end iv tn country to tn other
hoWlin again tn tariff an other i'm
mortal issues now dead. I niver voted
Ir Grove Cleveland. I wuddn't vote
i MIN amy more than he'd vote FIR
NE NE. | voted f'r OIL man Thurman an
Iom Hendricks an ABLY Stevenson be-
lure Tfe ne become a professional Vice
IrIsldlnt. They thought it was an
honor, but If ye'd read their bio-gra-
phtes to-day ye'd find at tn end: 'Th'
writer will pass over tn closin' years
