THE LAND SLIDE SLID.

The Demmycntic papers—they hem, an’ haw, an' aay. "The reason why we lost It Is somethin’ like this way—” An’ then go on explaining an’ maltin' some excuse, Along with “If," an’ "therefore”—but, lawsy—what’s the use? Us Demccrats In Bowersville—when we are dore we’re did. We know that all that happened was* the Land Slide Slid. Republican newspapers in full o’ shouts an' song. They ooze with glee an’ glory, an’ head-lines ten feet long, An'yell in big, black letters: ’’’Twas caused by so-an’-so,” An’ show by facts an’ Aggers just how she had to go. But, gee-mun-neeT Inßowersville the reason isn't hid— We know that just what hit us was the Land Slide Slid. The country’s just as happy—phe’s just as good an’ grand— She’ll go on just as peaceful, right at the same old stand. We got no cause to worry about the reason why— There ain’t no use tq ligger on what has just whizzed by, My land! Down here in Bowersville, when we are done we’re did. We know that what upset us was, the Land Slide Slid. —Baltimore American.
