The Louisville Journal mas the following
amusing remarks upon this SUBJECT:
THE WHIG VICTORY IN 1910
According to the Washington Globe, and
the Van Buren Lacofoco papels generally,
the "Democracy" Of America was defeated
in 1910 by a cider barrel and a co0n-skin.-
This appalling act, ii is hoped, will cause
the "D-mCc .acy" henc forth to be extremely
cautious how u exposes It's dear sell TO such
attacls on Its integrity as proceed from the
spiyOls or buRg holes OF cider barrels and
teach ito be very wary in trusting lt-eIi too
near the awful claws Of coons IL Is very le-

tue is. five are to believe the dragons ot

and can by 10 means survive the apopiellc
influences Of a drink Of hard clder.)

deadly things are quite as available now as

IDOL. it is highly probable that it will be xii

The Calhoun Locofoco editors. however
say that Benton, Blair, Cros we'll ct al omat
penuS are mistaken IN the causes Of the atal
ity which afflicted the party in the memora
bic contest OF 1910. They say iha; the par
ltv sank exhausted beneath the weight Of the

il from a similar fate in 1914. that the rein:
be given to another hand.
Il :hus appears that the Loiocos are q.
n.uch divided in their opinions of the cauSc'
of their defeat in 1910, as they are as to tht
means proper to pursue to guard them agains
a simila. catlsr rophe in 1914. They have
our best wishes for Il safe delivery from thci
various afflic,ons. but we can assure then
they have 10 look beyond themselves 10
such a result. The Wings will unIoubted
