The Cincinnati sOft-mOney organ has been
too mad thus say much about the abandonment OF
the rag baby by the Pennsylvania Democrats IL merely
remarks in bitter way that they were either terrible
liars last year. they terrible liars now Inc Oo-
seryatiun appears to have grain Of truth IN IT.
The claim of Senator MortOn's friends that

There is an unhappy Democratic editor III
Titusyille Penn. He has been standing on the Demo
cratic platform OF last year and yelling ike nero TOT
the rag baby Suddenly his party turns up IN cohVeh-
t,on as hardmOney organization. punches the peteu
infant between tho eyes, and declares for the boed

As for going back tho baby he Will never do IT,
He will go back the party sooner. for quhr'eroi
a century we have voted the Democratic Ticket no
proudly boasts and have never sweryed In giving the
party an unaltering support Year after year we have
consented TO be led like lamb to the slaughter, and 40
long as the party remained true to its principles were
never discouraged under defeat But If there are any
waio n must be monotonous be led like lamb to
the slaughter every year for quarter OF acenury.
