The Children Of this country delight l..
candy.-W@onsin paper.
Send for Gen. Pierce, then, b\ all
means. He, ''altl,ough al. entire strar-
ger" 10 the Wiscol,si', population in patti
talets and loose trowsers, will no doubt
fork over a cent to those who are 'scry-
ing for candy and have "no money to
buy any,"
GEN PIERcE.-It has l.ccr. II matter of
accident that the nominee for the presi-
dency is less known in the West tl.al. in
any other part of the Unio:,. Pioneer.
>, Our neiglhor is mistaken. GEL. Pierce
is well known in the West-known as
l'avilg voted against every thing she ever
asked for while he was : member of Con-
gress, and against allowing years sala-
ry to the destitute widow of President
Harrison, one Of the fathers of the West,
who died poor i'll the service of his coun-
try. Rest assured, neighbor, the West
knoac aid appreciate Gen. Pierce.
A few weeks ago all the Democratic
papers were fierce upon Gen. Scott,
!chargi',g him with having favored the
bankrupt law of 184l. But it having
beer, discovered that Wn. R. King rote.i
in 1927, for the passage of much more
odious bankrupt act, we hear nothing
more about the matter. SO their gus
are spiked, Chippewa fashion, as fast as
they are aimed.
MIR. OCOm,cr, young Irislnman of
Muscatine, is stum,il.S it for Scott through
Iowa. He is spokel. Of as talented and
highly effective spcaker.-Gniena .qdr.
We are glad to hear OF our old friend

gallant and true hearted son of the
Emerald Isle is not il, the West. by the

recently acting with the Democrats, is
stunping for Scott in Ohio. lie says hc

Duke Of Wellington for President as for
Il New Hampshire Democrat.

neigl''or, when the blear gets off your

Did any prediction in political matters,
made by the editor of the Democrat since
he has resided in Minnesota, ever come to
pass? No, not one. Who then will put
confidence ill his gassing about the cleo
ton of Pierce and King.
