The above is the caption OF perhaps
the most homogeneous article that ever
appeared in q newspaper. 1t was PRINT
ed in the Emporia Ledger Of last week.
But the author of the article slgnally
failed to state what it is that ne IS
"waiting'' for. The effusiOn in question
is a kind of dog-trot affair; whang-
doodle effort to convince the "unterrl-
fed" in this section of the now prosper.
GUS United States, that the fossilized
Democracy preserved the Government,
whereof we allude to simply and solely
because of the fact that it came out IN
sheet which certain parties would
have us believe is the leading Democrat
ic paper of interior Kansas.
Let us quote from the Ledger:
If the democratic party is to be brought to
the bar Of justice, we Will most certainty c1iA
1 for justice TO decide.
That will do very well; but we sub
nit if it is reasonable to presume that
Justice with her eyes blind-fOlded),
would not have tough time of it in
holding at arms length her scales
whereon were piled the infamous rec
ords of the so-called Democratic party !?
Byplunging deeper into the profound
article of the. Ledger individual, we
gain the information herewith subioin-
ed, to-wit: 80.
'.The voice OF the people is the voice of
God"
That is better, still. We will take the
statement of the astute inkslinger' OF
the Ledger, and candidly admit that it is
correct. What better reasoning could
possibly be adduced in behalf of the
Republican party? "The voice of the
? people" has become exceedingly hoarse
in crying against the villainous leaders
? of the so-called Democracy. The
logic is good, and, in our estimation.
incontrovertible.
Now, then, let US make. another dive
into this fathomless element. of wis.,
f dom. BY so doing, we ascertain that
Henry Clay, who was the Wing candi-
date in 1874 for the Presidency, was
Democrat. Here is what our Demo
cratic neighbor says:
II Henry Clay was democrat, but he had in
that day. of his youth AMI ambition to contend
with one whoInade longe- steps-yet uncouth
r to that goal for which his nature longed

not even the author Of the new departure.

obliged to borrow from our neighboi
