/' idrr, as your wife can kick A qat
tion to me, that if a person is
found dead with his eyes open,
that the devil strangled that
corpse. Now, fellow citizens,.al-
low me to appeal to your egregi-!:
ous vanity in the following axio-1
matic language: There is no
account in all the exhaustive:
works ,,-of Carisimo on corpses
and ghosts as to whether a corpse, [
especially a- dead oqe, everj
thought about opening or shut- ■
farmer that,if the pigs should
root up his corn that it would
have to re-root before it could re-
come. Now, fellow citizens, cas-
tles in the air aro only fit recep-
tacles for -inanimate thoughts
and the blasted hopes of my op-
ponents. .My fellow citizens,- my
thoughts burst the channels
through which they run when I
contemplate the grandeur that
clings even to the chariot wheels
of my glpry when I am elected,?
for you know that is as certain as
was and is the existenedof San-
cho Panza’s island. Cheer me a
little now, fellow citizens.
I have one of the prettiest per-
orations for this grand speech
that you ever heard, but this
speech is already long enough,
so I wilt save it to put r at the end
of mj’ aeeeptenee, - for you^ ait - ’ w ***? I*"1™, go re ■
see that my election is a foregone J, P. COURTNEY & SONS’
conclusion. I will close with
these few remarks, daring my
opponents to say that this speech
reads like iybook, or even came
out of a book, for I madq,it my-
self, as the poet tersely says,
Thanking you one and all, Pos-
sum Creek clubbers, I.’ll leave
the subject with you for a better
speaker, but you will never find
him, for in my plain, blunt, unso-
phisticated manner, I have set
before you the greatest thoughts
that ww flowed from the brain
of man, and you spread this glo-
rious speech on the minutes of
Possum Creek club, send a copy
of it to each delegate to the na-
tional convention, request each
delegate to speak it in said con-
vention and have it inserted in
will say this, and you know it is the national platform, if there is
room for it. You see, fellow cit-
izens, this will very much immor-
talize me and more than assure
my election which is already as-
sured. Fellow citizens, you will
proceed to endorse me unani-
mously, not only as a candidate,
but as a gentleman afid scholar,
invite me to address your noble
club again, give three cheers
and adjourn'.
