Tiley are at their old tricks again. Which
remark applies particularly to tho unbl'1shing

DEMOCRATIC IMBECIIITY.


In the powerful arraignment of the DEM
ocratio party which is n,ade in ono CLAUSE
Of tho Republican platform. pcrhnps the
most striking portion is that which charac-
tesizoa the Democrats AZ "being equally falso
md i1nbecile." It would bo difficult to find
words that more wildly and truthfu1ly de-
scribe tho conduct Of tho Democratic ma-
jorlty in Congress. They gained their
strength in that body partly by reason Of
tho greed and folly Of tho salary -grabbers Of
tho preceding Congress, partly because of
tie hard times succeeding the panic Of
1873, but mainly because they promised to
reform, purify, and beatty all things and
oil men. In failing to do this, or uven to
mako decided advance toward it, the Dcm-
ocrats hnvo proved themselves "equally
falso and imbocile."
Among tho chief Democratic outcrics
which caught tho ears Of tho people was
their charge that the Republican party was
responsible for the Ianio aud hard times, and
ono Of their most seductive promises was TINT
they tho Democrats} would ut once rsstoro tho
good old times. TO paraphraso Bon ISoE1t-

CONGRESS AND THE SUBSIDY 8W1NDLEs.
It Is morn than probable that Congress
