Philadelphia, who wrote me nasty
letter last week; who said I could put
it in the "People's Column" if was
"not afraid to :" and who then showed
his bravery by not signing nor reveal
ing his own nam, also said-but, wait
a minute, wait a minute, I'll publish
the whole letter. if I don't look out.
Anyhow, I'm going to tell one more
thing he said.
This was that, the writer OF this
column had succeeded very distinctly
in concealing his identity! Well, now,
that's better than I hoped. Because
there are some things which appear
in it that are so darned poor, most
anybody would be ashamed to Tess
I'D" to. I can go on now and write
with much more ease, knowing that
the public at large, who take the time
to read this gush, won't know VINO
is the author Of it.
However, there's one man in POGO
moke who knows who manufactures
this weekly contribution. He compi-
mented me so far as to say it was
rotten; he even confided to me it
made him vomit. I suggested to him
he had better go on a diet for his
stomach's sake, and include in his diet
this column as part of his literary
diet ne should esche.w But, pshaw!
he keeps on telling me what's in it,
continues his assertions that it's rot
ten and still claims it makes him vonn-
it. What are you going to do with
a patient like that. He's just bent on
his own destruction.
But. returning to that Philadelphia
correspondent Of mine: You know
what think is the matter with him =?
He's one of those fellows who belongs
to a party that used to be known as
the Republican" party, 'bu3 4Rshics
now is practically extinct, and he was
Just peeved to death because Pennsyl-
vania went Democratic. Of course,
I felt just little better disposed to-
wards his snappishness, because of
my own rather "gone like" feeling at
having to undergo for four years a
Republican governor. But I console
myself by the realization that the
Nice man was put into office by Demo-
Gratis, while over in our neighboring
commonwealth every last Republican
has turned Democrat, and has turned
to stay. Just watch 'em.
By the way, have any Of you peo-
pie heard the latest explanation of
what the letters &c. o. P" stand for q?
Somebody told me the other day the
new version was "Gone Outa' Pennsyl-
vania." / just want to ask my friend
in Philly if that's fact. If he says
so, it must be so, and I'd almost be
tempted to publish his letter-name OF
no name-if he will verify it. But
I have an idea he is still holding on
to hope that the old Keystone State
will moor it's ship again in the old
harbor; but have an idea it will find
so much pleasanter waters to navi.
gate in the Democratic seas, it will
never return to it's old ports. So, Mr.
Philadelphia, you had better come down
and breathe the air once more in ole
Worcester where you want me to be.
lieve you first saw the light.
see by the papers that my old pal
Harry Nice, has gone to Florida; and
further-some-more, he took a body
guard along with him. Wonder what
he's afraid of? Does he think the
whole country hates Republican? Il
he afraid the crowds, eager to see &
successful Republican candidate, viii
be so dense that they will crush hin
to death in an attempt to view th'
rarity? Or does he feel SO lonely il
his capacity as Maryland office hold
er, he takes Maryland guard to keel
him company. / am sort of intrigued
by the presence of that police force
And I also see by the papers tha
my other old Pal, Katz, is one of th'
"force." Well, Harry had better fins
out whether the Katz voted for hin
or not; else he might not be as SAFE
as he thinks under such protection
But Katz is a good sort of boy, WI
all liked him when he was here, ant
maybe he'll see that the Gov-elect will
come back with all the pieces intact
Katz was stationed in Pocomoke once
and said he constituted one of tn
two-animal menagerie we had at tina
time-Katz and Bull. Take care O.
the Nice boy, old Sock, and you cal
be what you want to be.
