" What gran' wurruds thim ar-re, an' how
they must torture th' prisint leaders iv th' raypublican party. Sam'l
Adams, th' sage iv Salem, says: "Laugh an' the wurruld laughs with ye,"
while Pathrick Hinnery, th' sage iv Jarsey City, puts it that "ye shud
always bet aces befure th' dhraw." Turnin' farther back into histhry we
find that Brian Boru, th' sage iv Munsther, said: "Cead mille failthe,"
an' Joolyus Caesar, th' sage iv Waukeesha, says, "Whin ye're in Rome, do
th' Romans." Nebuchedneezar--there's a name f'r ye--th' sage iv I-
dinnaw-where, says: "Ye can't ate ye'er hay an' have it." Solomon, th'
sage iv Sageville, said, "Whin a man's marrid his throubles begins," an'
Adam, th' sage iv Eden, put it that "A snake in th' grass is worth two
in th' boots." Ye'll see be this, me good an' thrue frinds, that th'
voices fr'm th' tombs is united in wan gran' chorus f'r th' ticket ye
have nommynated. I will say no more, but on a future occasion, whin I've
been down in southern Injyanny, I'll tell ye what th' sages an' fathers
iv th' party in th' Ancient an' Hon'rable Association iv Mound-Builders
had to say about th' prisint crisis.'"
"'Tisn't Bryan alone, Mack's th' same way. They're both ancesther
worshippers, like th' Chinese, Hinnissy.
