 Scene I.— Street in 1st grooves. 
 
 Enter Geo. Fresh and Alderman, r. 1 e., both talking. 
 
 George. Say, Alderman, there’s no use in talking, I’ve got the best 
 joke of the season for the club. 
 
 Alderman. What is it, George? something good—no chestnut? well, 
 let us have it; a good laugh would do me good about now; let her out; 
 what is it? 
 
 George. Well, say, let me ask you a question. Did you see that man 
 that I was talking to this morning? 
 
 Alderman. Yes, I saw you talking to a man. You don’t mean that 
 Irishman, do you? 
 
 George. Yes, yes, I do mean that Irishman; that’s the daisy I’m talk¬ 
 ing about. You see, he has come all the way from Cohoes looking for a 
 political job, and the fun of it is I made him believe that I could get it for 
 him, and he is still laboring under the same opinion. 
 
 Alderman. Well, he must be a dead square crank of a fellow to think 
 he could come all the way from Cohoes down here looking for a political 
 position. 
 
 George. Yes, sir, it’s true as I’m alive. Hello! as I live the fellow 
 is coming up the street now ( finger to lip). Not a word, Alderman— 
 mum. 
 
 Enter Pat, l. 1 e. 
 
 George (smiling). Why, Mr. O’Brien, where did you go to so sudden? 
 
 Pat ( surprised a little). Where did you go to so sudden ? George, I 
 had liked to be killed where you left me this morning. 
 
 George. Ah! you’re joking; well, never mind. I say, Mr. O’Brien, I 
 want to introduce you to a particular friend of mine (bowing). Alderman 
 Muttonpounder, this is Mr. Pat O’Brien, one of us, I assure you. 
 
 Alderman. I am very happy to meet 3*011, sir. 
 
 Pat. Oh, say, George, that was a great place we were in last night. 
 One feller he called one side, and said if I’d get him drunk I would have 
 some fun with him. 
 
 Alderman. Well, my time is a little precious. Gentlemen, I’ll have to 
 bid you good day. [Exits l. 1 e. 
 
 Pat ( bowing politely). Good-day, good-day, Alderman. Ah! that’s a 
 fine feller, George. 
 
 George. Oh, yes; that man at one time used to light his pipe with hun¬ 
 dred dollar bills. 
 
 Pat. You don’t say so ; but what about that job you said you were 
 going to get me, George ? 
 
 George. Oh, yes; I forgot all about it. That situation is Lamp-post 
 Inspector. 
 
 u. OF ILL LIB.

 AMBITION. 
 
 Pat. Do you think that job would pay me, George ? 
 
 George. Oh, yes; I should say so; first rate. One thousand dollars 
 a month. 
 
 Pat. But, I say, George, what are the duties connected with the job ? 
 
 George. Why, if you see a lamp-post out of order, report it. 
 
 Pat. Report the lamp-post? 
 
 George. JS r o, my boy, you don’t understand me. You get up in the 
 morning at 5 o’clock and you start from the battery and you walk to 
 Yonkers; and if you should see any lamps any Avay out of order, all you 
 got to do is to shoulder the lamp-post and bring it down to headquarters. 
 
 Pat. I say, George, wouldn’t it be just as well to shoulder headquar¬ 
 ters and carry it to the lamp-post ? 
 
 George. I tell you, Pat, you’ve got things very fine. Yon must have 
 held an office before. 
 
 Pat. I came very near holding a high office one time. 
 
 George. Indeed! when was that? 
 
 Pat. I ran for Alderman once at Cohoes, and I was only defeated by 
 four thousand majority. I’d beat him, only they wrung in a half million 
 people from Lansingburg on me; that’s how I lo3t. 
 
 George. That was very unfortunate, Pat. 
 
 Pat. But I say, George, won’t that be great when I send up to Cohoes 
 my name in full—Pat O'Brien, Lamp-post Inspector for the entire City of 
 New York. 
 
 George. I don’t think that would sound very well—Pat O’Brien. 
 
 Pat. Well, make it Patrick O’Bre-on! 
 
 George. That’s it, now; you’ve struck it; that sounds more like a 
 Frenchman. 
 
 George. Now, Pat, I want to take you down to the club and introduce 
 you to some of the Senators. 
 
 Pat. The club, did you say? where is that, George? 
 
 George. Just a short distance below here. I want to make you solid 
 with the boys. 
 
 Pat. All right, George, I’m with you; and I don’t spare the expense. 
 
 [Exit both , R. 1 E. 
 
 Scene II. —In 3d grooves , d. in f. ; Bar Boom; two Tables with Chairs , R. 
 and l. ; Characters all playing Cards. 
 
 Enter Alderman (at door). 
 
 Alderman. I say, boys, here comes George up the street with the 
 biggest old country gawk that you ever saw: he’s Irom Cohoes. Let us 
 ail work the job up. 
 
 Enter George and Pat (through d. f.) 
 
 Pat {goes to table and pulls a c ird out of a player's hand, saying ): Why 
 don’t you lead your five fingers ? 
 
 Barkeeper (pointing). See here, my friend, I wish you wouldn’t inter¬ 
 fere in the game. If you can’t behave yourself I’ll have to order you out. 
 
 Pat (indignant). And who are you, sir? 
 
 Barkeeper. I have charge of this place, sir. 
 
 Pat (aside). I think he’s a saucy puppy; wait till I get elected and I’ll 
 have his license broke. 
 
 George. I say, Pat, I want to introduce you to some of the boys. Thi3 
 is (to character) ex-Seuator Flypaper.

 Senator {shaking hands with Pat). How do you do, sir {squeezing Ms 
 hand hard) ? 
 
 Pat. I say, George, the Senator has got a fine grip on him. 
 
 George. That’s the grip of the club. 
 
 Enter Lusii {through door). 
 
 Lush. Hello, fellers! how is the graft? Hello. George! 
 
 George. Why, Lush, old boy, how are you ? By the way, Pat, I want 
 to introduce you to Alderman Taffy. (Lush shakes hands with Pat ; he 
 tries to putt Pat over , when Pat pulls him over on his face. Barkeeper 
 throws Lush out. Pat walks up and down stage very proudly.) 
 
 Pat. Come, boys, have a drink. What will you all have? ( They all 
 shout) wine! wine! 
 
 Pat. Stop! stop! No wine off me. 
 
 George. What’s the matter, Pat? Don’t weaken. Don’t you want to 
 make yourself solid ? 
 
 Pat Not off ov wine, George. 
 
 George. But wine is only five cents a glass. 
 
 Pat. Is that all? I say, George {very loud ), will you and your friends 
 join me in a glass of wine, at five cents a glass? {He ivalks proudly up to 
 the bar.) Guess who’s in town, George? 
 
 George. The Lamp-post Inspector. {The'B arkeeper sets off or spurts the 
 bottle of Seltzer water in Pat’s face.) 
 
 Pat. I’m blinded, I suppose. 
 
 Barkeeper. I beg pardon, Mr. O’Brien. The cork flew out of the bottle. 
 
 Pat. I thought some one throwed dirty water in my face. 
 
 (Alderman breaks a large cracker on Pat’s head. Lush re-enters quickly 
 and picks up the pieces of cracker, when Pat kicks him and tliroios him out 
 the door\ after which he struts up and down vet y proudly.) 
 
 Pat. If you don’t keep that drunken man out ot here I’ll kill him. 
 
 Barkeeper {takes an old hat—he keeps it hid behind his back—and takes 
 Pat’s hat off quickly and places it behind him, then throws down the old hat 
 on the floor, when oil the characters kick it about the stage. Hie Barkeeper 
 has put Pat’s hat on his own head; and Pat is running around after this 
 old hat, thinking it is his. At last he gets it, saying angrily): 
 
 Pat. That’s a fine thing to do. Call that fun, do yez i tear a man’s 
 clothes. I wouldn’t have a hair of that hat turned for five dollars. It 
 was made in Cohoes, 
 
 Barkeeper {laughing). I say, Mr. O’Brien, you ain’t mad, are you ? 
 (Barkeeper has Pat’s hat on) 
 
 Pat. It’s funny, ain’t it ? Quite a good joke. How would you like it 
 if some one would kick your hat all over the room ? 
 
 Barkeeper. I wouldn’t mind it. 
 
 Pat. {takes the hat off the Barkeeper’s head and smashes it dozen on the 
 floor). Now, Mr. Smarty,.what do you think of that? You’re mad, ain’t 
 you ? I can see by your eve you’re mad. 
 
 Barkeeper ( very cool). No, I ain’t mad, Mr. O’Brien. 
 
 Pat. You’re not? then come, take a drink. 
 
 Barkeeper. No, I thank you, Mr. O’Brien ; that’s your own hat you’ve 
 been smashing about. 
 
 (Pat picks up the hat , then looks at the one in his hand , drops it and ivalks 
 towards the door , as if to go away, very angry; he is slopped by the Bar¬ 
 keeper.) 
 
AMBITION.

 Barkeeper. Mr. O’Brien, we have some very fine music, let us dance 
 a three handed reel. 
 
 (The Alderman, Barkeeper and Pat all d mce the reel , when they are in~ 
 terrupted by Lusii, who enters dancing. Pat seizes Lush and throws him out 
 of the door.) 
 
 Barkeeper. Mr. O’Brien, allow me to congratulate you as one of our 
 members of the club. 
 
 Pat. Thank you, I suppose I’m a member of the G. G. now? 
 
 Barkeeper. Yes, Mr. O’Brien, and it’s the duty of every newly elected 
 member to make a speech. So, gentlemen, come to order; we will have 
 a speech from Inspector O’Brien. I propose three cheers for him. Hip I 
 hip! hurrah ! hurrah! hurrah! 
 
 Pat. I suppose I’ll have to keep up with the rules of the club, so I’ll 
 endeavor to do the best I can (he gets on the table). Gentlemen, one all, 
 if I’m elected you can depend on me. I’ll stand by you in the hour of 
 need- 
 
 (Barkeeper takes a large firecracker , lights it and places it on table by 
 Pat’s feet. The explosion throws Pat off the table. Lush enters; Pat goes 
 for him again , and the whole party get in a general row. All confusion.) 
 
 quick close in.
