A Story.-A member ofthe House OF
REPRESENTATIVES, in Congress- friend Of
Mr.. Van Buren,, met a Wing Senator, in a
steamboat, in the early part Of the Pres'>
dental campaign Of 1910, when the former
said to the latter, "Your Log Cabin and
Hard Cider is no 90. We shall beat you !"
SHOW sos'' asked the Senator. "Mr. Van
Buren," answered the Member, "rel'es up.
on the words NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Democratic. We all rely upon them, as a.
party. While we wear this name, you
can not beat US, but we shall beat you ="
This is a s,ory Of fact, told us, with some
other details, by the Senator himself. II
happened, however, for that occasion, that
there was more democracy in clog I ab'n
and Hard Cider" than tn was in "De
mocracy" ITSELF Tho Member Of the House
was right, and the very reason he gave,
prevailed on the other side.-Mr Van
Buren, was beaten
The Lesson As the abov is a story OF fact,
and as it doubtless tells truth, and con-
fesses a secret, though perfectly obvious to
all observing minds The Wings will be ye'
~ simple, il they do not profit by the lesson

place their chief reliance on this word, IN
its different forms Of application. Not only
so, but they rely equally on sigmatlzing
their opponents with the name Of "Federal-

papers ofthat party throughout the Union,
Is it not SO? With an unwaverng constancy
they adhere to this rule, in print and in
speech. They are aware of the Importance
of it. They "rety" upon IT,
The Democracy Of Mr.. Clay.-T'he posi-.
ton Of MIR. Clay in the democratic party
which triumphed in 1901. and long swayed
the scop,re Of this republic, has ais
ready been recognised. He was first, most
eloquent, and most influential in the ranks
of the Kentucky democracy OF that ere; he
had the entire confidence of Mr.. Jefferson
he was the main pillar OF Mr.. Madison
administration, and 10 no man is the country
more indebted than to him for the success
of our arms in the last war with Grea
Britain, and for an honorable and advanta
geous peace. A true American democfa
