I find much to commend in his gestures. He has expanded from the respectable white dollar. to be seen in every mart. to a disreputable mulatto standard. to coin which is a penitentiary offense. His eloquence on expansion reminds me of an old man in my town who was called on to explain "expansion." Alounting a goods box. he said: " This greatRepublican bird has plumed its wings and soared aloft and taken a view of this little world. and then lit. wth one foot on the Asiatic shore. the other on the golden walls of California. has flopped its tail in the Arctic Ocean and pecked Filipinos off of the island of Luzon." Mr. Chairman. a bird with such a stride must split somewhere or lose its footing on the one shore or the other. My genial friend. for I esteem him highly. is not certain "where lie is at." has been. or whither he is going. and he answers querien like a man at the county court starting to leave.
