JUDGE SYMMES MAKES A TIMELY SUGGESTION He Finds a Solution For the Present Mayoralty Mix-Up and Submits His Plan Mr. Editor: Amid trials and tribu lations over the mayorality situation, l thought I would suggest a compro mise solution of the situation which might be acceptable. Both Col. Goodyear and Capt. New man are unquestionably good mayor ality timber, and it mignt be conced ed, in a technical sense, that Senator Symons and myself were fine mayov ality splinters. This town, in its seven-league hoots, is striding with a bold step, and we all trust successfully, to the plane of a greaf city, and it may need, in the executive conduct of its af fairs, something more than the ordi nary bi-pedal mayor. Possibly it has already been demonstrated that such an one is riot in keeping with her pace, so if such a thing is possible, a well adapted, properly adjusted, quadru pedal executive would possibly be more in keeping wifh her progress and times, and would nest answer the demands. To the end, therefore, and for as much as all things seem possible with politicians, especiali) the Brunswick politicians, I thought, in my humble way, I would rise to propose that all four of the candi dates that seem to be slated, tagged, nagged, and ottered, baud together after the fashion of the manufac tured, hand made elephant that we sometimes see brought into the circus ring for the amusement of the small children.' and thus united run on all fours as the united mayor of a united Brunswick, and so hold the office. How would that do? Now. to illustrate my plan: We will use grand, patient, BrunswicK loving, never-kept-aown, but always on-his-feet-again Colonel Goodyear for the head and shoulders of the quad rupled mayor. Then we will taae conservative, faithful-serving, never rewarded Captain Tobe Newman for part of the breast and body and the 1 front legs of the collossus. I, both in recognition of my fitness, and tne better to parade my humility, am will ing to he the hind legs, and supply part of the body; Capt. Newman, with his feet, as they always are, turned to the front, leaning back wards, and T leaning forward, shall entwine our arms around each otner so as to form the body of this animal; Col. Goodyear sitting astride us about where Capt. Newman s hips will ue in the make-up, and if need be, on my head —for I, too, must serve the people, if required, at a sacrifice, if I have to be sat on to do it —shall twist his legs around me and tne Captain, and thus unite the animal s head to Its body; then we will re quest Senator Symons to further sacrifice himself for the public weal, and to come and get astride us along auout my lumbar region, and if neeu oe, on Capt. Tobe’s head (for that seems to be in keeping with the way the politicians use the Captain), ana wrapping his legs firmly around Cap tain Tobe and me, yet not tignt enough to cut, lacing to the tront, and folding his arms across his breast, as if by command, he shau throw his body well to the rear, ana become i tie tail end of this twenticta century mastodon. Of course. Sen ator Symons, should he consent to this, would be expected to hold his head high as the animal moved along, for this quadru-pedal mayor must have his tali curled well in the air in sued an age of progress. .Now. i meet with some embarrass ment in suggesting Senator Syrnon a consent to be the quadru-pedal may or's tail, lest he should take it offen sively when no personal affront is meant, and the suggestion arises from the necessity of the thing, arid is made for the public good, because Senator Symons would not do for this mayor s head as any unbiased person would agree; he wouldn’t do for the front legs, inasmuch as nis legs are so much shorter than mine ttiat it would incline the -mayor down hill, and that would be bad when we are just now looking up; nor would ne do for the hind legs, his legs being also so much shorter than the Cap tain s, it would give the animal, while an up-hill touch in keeping with our advancement, yet a giratte like appearance, which to some ex tent would be awkward. If I had pro posed to play tail-end myself, the sug gestion might be open to the criticism that I was trying to ride on tne Senator, when be had already carried too long, and too many burdens, ana Ills supporters might urge that there was unfairness in the suggestion, in that when the beast went forward, Col. Goodyear would be head of tne procession, and if they backed the animal I would be In the lead, and so. whether a movement of progression or retrogression, it would be anti- Symons. So it seems that the very ntness of things and tne ethics oi the situation require 1 should sug gest the Senator for this mayor’s tail. And then it occurred to me, as ne seems determined to run, tnat if ne would taae this position, his friends might christen the quadruped tne Brunswick political kangaroo, and in compliment maintain that its streugtn was in its hind parts, the fact that the kangaroo's strength is in its hina legs to the contrary, notwithstanding. Of course, 1 perceive they would be embarrassed in taking that position, both because it would tickle my van ity some, and might give offense to Captain Lobe Newman besides, wmen they would hesitate to do, —but any port iu a storm. From un economical standpoint, should our mayor and council take stock, directly iu the new trolley lino, with such a -mayor as i have suggest ed It would be well for the town; for, with tne willingness of some of tn 9 component parts of this quadrn-pedai mayor to hold down a situation when ever help is needod, should an oft street car horse be disabled on one of the runs, the other might be blind tolded, tne colossus hitched by its side, and the cars kept agoing. Of course, this is a sort of a Jules v ernes-iike suggestion, a kind of a journey to the moon, so to speak; but anywhere for light, for aid and ro iiei—to t’ne moon if need be, to Mars if can be; and who knows but that tne improvements which the astrono mers through their powerful magnify ing glasses see going on iu the planet Mars, and are taking for great canals, are but the initial lines ot Brunswick s trolley system, double-tracked ana heading this way in a jiffy, and whicn may yet combine the universe with one great Saratoga-uunk, trans-space, inter-planet, star line! Well, just as you like it. If the suggestion don’t meet your approval, why turn it down. If the Captain won’t play forelegs, and the Senator won t play tall. 1 11 kick out of har ness too, and refuse to play hind legs, and we’ll make anew departure, ana run a mayor with a head (and a heartj but without a tail. And that a as well, anyhow, for its heads Good year wins, tails Symons looses. Very truly yours, COURT LAND SYMMES. I*. S. —I’ll be at the meeting Mon day night, and explain my views about trusts and combines, positions and impositions, and answer the gen tlemen who sent me that petition, tor it turned out to be a petition, not a bill.
