Show This Is Juicy. Sonic lunatic writing to the Sm Francisco Al!n, suggests that "it is time the great territory lying wed of the Missouri and Mississippi riv.,s should be entitled to a vice presi-Jcnt." presi-Jcnt." Tne fellow then aks, "And who are the most eligible, by reason oi geographical and other reasons?" A question which he answers as follows : It is proposed by a lespielwhlit number of persons to submit to tiie people and convention of the republican repub-lican party the name of a gentleman now a resident of Francisco well known throi'ghcj the east as well as the west, J n-.f.ri the Hon. George L. Wood:.. :1c is better known as "Goverr. v- o-ds," i.:s been governor of the z ?i Or-L and territory of Utah ir.'1: m" w positions he has filled w:..': !: ' 1 ability and fidelity to the 'i-.'.'.-z, ...'! satisfaction of the people a;,d the , present administration. He is well i acquainted with nearly every public. : man on our coast with the capaei-1 lies and wants ol the country. He is : a statesman in fact, as in name, in ai comprehensive sense, and a lawyer ol j fine elocution, distinguished address j and wonderful voice, be has certainly i no superior, and few equals among1 our people; besides, he is a genuine; western man, of the Lincohiian lyp : scrupulously Uune.it, genial, bold, !ree, open hearted and always rcr.dy to help a friend, or meet an oppuuen'. 'with sharp repartee or sound logic. Ho is emphatically a man of the neo pie, and would be so regarded by them, if a candidate for the high and dignified position of vice-president. The suggestion is so farcical that, at first it struck us that there was only one person capable of fathering it, and that individual was the "high and dignified" (this is not a "goak." A. Ward.) Webfoot himself. But no; it cannot be. George L., in reciting re-citing his other qualifications would not have neglected to mention his ability to adapt himself to circumstances circum-stances in Coutral Bacific sleeping cars. But lot us have the stately Webfoot for a nominee. It's the time for investigations, in-vestigations, and what glorious fun the newspapers would have in tie-tailing tie-tailing George's Oregon and Utah !c.ireer, with special reference to the musterstrokes of genius therein displayed, dis-played, such as getting away with stale house carpets, mining bureau swindles, and all that sorl of tiling. |
