Even down in in Kansas this trying
to raise Democratic campaign poles
and flags is protested against by every
breath of nature. Records the Topeka
Commonwealth:
Night before last some mischieyous
person hung rag baby ON the Demo-
cratic hickory pole, and there the blessed
infant dangled till daylight did appear.
Fred Osenburg finally removed the brat.
Yesterday the American was raised at
half-mast, as usual, in honor of the ar
rival of Thomas L. Davis. As the
''banner of beauty and glory'' unrolled
to the breeze, the streamer bearing the
name of Tilden and Hendricks began to
wind itself around the pole as closely as
possible, and curled up like a maple
worm on hot shovel.
