 NEW YORK, 1888, 
 
 WASHINGTON, 1890, 
 
 This fable, showing, in nuce, the results of the 
 election in Pennsylvania in 1890, is 
 
 DEDICATED 
 
 BY A PENNSYLVANIAN PROUD OF PENNSYLVANIA 
 ACHIEVEMENT. 
 
A POLITICAL FABLE. 
 
 /^NCE upon a time, and a very 
 good time it was, too, a 
 trusty Watch Dog, who was left, in 
 the absence of his master, to guard 
 the household, had a struggle with 
 a worthless Tramp. The Tramp, 
 worsted in the contest, and smarting 
 with pain and the sting of defeat, 
 said, "Well, if I cannot beat you I 
 can at least give you a bad name." 
 Thereupon he ran through the streets 
 
A POLITICAL FABLE. 
 
 and byways of the town crying at 
 the top of his voice, so that all might 
 hear, ''Bad Dog! Bad Dog!" The 
 credulous people, none too nice in 
 distinguishing the differences in 
 sounds, and deceived into thinking 
 the dog was "mad," set upon the 
 trusty Watch Dog and stoned him 
 to death. And the worthless Tramp 
 went on his way rejoicing, for that 
 not only had he his revenge for his 
 defeat, but he was in a better plight 
 for getting Into the kitchen on his 
 next coming Into that town. 
 
A POLITICAL FABLE. 
 
 SEQUEL 
 
 The unwary people, such was 
 their haste, did not stone to death 
 the trusty Watch Dog, but another 
 dog that chanced to be passing 
 through the town at that time.
