Strictly All Right

At a certain caucus in Hampden, Me., the only attendants were Hannibal Hamlin and a citizen of very large stature. Mr. Hamlin had some resolutions to pass which began by representing that they were presented to a “large and respectable" gathering of voters. “Hold on,” cried the other man, "we can't pass that, for It ain’t true! It ain’t a large and respectable caucus! There’s only two of us." “You keep still,” commanded the wily Hannibal, "It’s all right, for you are large and I am respectable. You just keep still.”
