If the President would "slop OVER ittld
in his speeches the Democrats would Ike them better.
Initiation is not severiDg Ohio like a tornado
when such bugle blasters Ewing and Pendleton
collect only 1900 persons.
AS confluence of total financial depravity
and finished demagogism the speech Of Gen Tom Ew NJ
at the Democratic send-of in Ohio could hardly be i'm
proved upon.
Even the Northern Democrats ioin IN the

ground cheering on the disturbance.
Mr. Joseph Ii. Williams of Maine is plainly
great American humorist. The Democrats nominated
him for Governor on platform which merely howl
of fraud" with variations. He remarks that h. doesn't
believe they meant much o. anything by II, and with
that understanding accepts the position. The party
has gmmering suspicion that II has been defrauled
again.
Congressman Ellis of Louisiana, thinks the
Texas Pacific subsidy will be granted by both Houses Of
Congress before Christmas and adds in the same breath
that prosperity to have dawned upon his section

latter statement with the FIRST but 10 credit the returned
prosperity policy OF the Administration. That 3
