Mr. Editor, if you can imagine them things it will not be necessary for you to buy ticket to Chicago. And yet them Convention will be a great service to see because so much of. Every State in this Hon. Union will be misrepresented by some great man or another. Oftenly two or three statesmen will do this. Brains will enjoy fatigue from enormous Thought. Prominent druggers of Chicago will get some permits to sell headache powders to Delegates before & after speeches. When nothing else seem important the Hon. Band will play Star Spangly Banner (national tune) and Hon. Delegates will play Poker (national game). Excitement will never lax.
Little Annie Anazuma, eight-year-aged daughter of I. Anazuma, Japanese barber, are excited about them Convention because she have a conventional mind.
“I read by papers, Uncle Togo,” she-say, “that Republican Convention will spend $3,000 for music.”
“Musical chins is expensive,” I deploy.
“Tell me to know, Uncle Togo,” she submit, “what are a Temporarial Chairman about which so much reading is done of lately?”
“A Temporarial Chairman are a musician hired to toot key-note for such a Convention,” I arrange.
“What will be key-note of Republican Convention?” require that childish Japanese.
“You are too young to imagine,” I collapse. “There must be 47 key-notes to please all variety of Republicans.”
“Such a chairman should be a brass band,” signify little Annie.
