Interview with President Lincoln

by Charles Farrar Browne (excerpt)

"There's a putty big crop of patrits this season, ain't there, Squire?" sez I, when ANOTHER crowd of offiss seekers pored in. The house, dooryard, barng woodshed was now all full, and when ANOTHER crowd c u m I told 'em not to go away for want of room as the hog-pen was still empty. One patrit from a small town in Michygan went up on top the house, got into the chimney and slid into the parler where Old Abe was endeverin to keep the hungry pack of orfice-seekers from chawin him up alive without benefit of clergy. The minit he reached the fireplace he jumpt up, brusht the soot out of his eyes, and yelled: "Don't make eny pintment at the Spunkville postoffiss till you've read my papers. All the respectful men in our town is signers to that there dockyment!"

The answer is C) Politicians are determined men. In this excerpt of the "Interview with President Lincoln", Charles F. Browne is implying that hordes of politics were visiting the newly elected president , and it got to the point that even one group came into the house after it had every room occupied, and instead of sending away, he offered them accommodation in the hog pen.
