over the fence" frankly observed Mr..
Thurman, "but it was worth all the
wear and tear underwent Just to feel
that Wash Mclean and / are friends

RsiyH William Shakespeare lives in
Michigan and is a Democrat. We will
admit that Shakespeare is clever
writer, but it appears he is not to be
trusted in his politics. And perhaps
Bacon wrote those plays.
RsyH 1t was Republican member of
Congress, Mr.. Fort, and not Demo-
crat, who introduced the joint resolu-
ton to prohibit the further retirement
of greenbacks, which was adopted by
both Houses, ---Ne,O Republic.

an ordinary arithmetic to express what
the amount of national debt will be in

BSyn The trouble with the Democrats
is that they are like pack of dogs
which have not flushed game for an un-
usually long season. Driven half crazy
over the scent, they fight for preced-
ence, while the game slips quietly

Democrat, who has not forgotten the
hypocrisies and rascalities of the House

RSign Gen. Butler is not worth more
than $4,000, 900, and he is understood
to be anxious to divide this up among
other workingmen in this country,
feeling that it really belongs to them
because they earned it. His own share
will be only ninety-two cents. ~ Y
Graphic (Ind.).
RsS~ Many of the patriots who have
said "nigger, nigger'' all their lives in
the tone of typical ku-klux, have
learned within few weeks to say
"colored voters" with all the smooth,
sympathizing accents of a carpet-bag-
ger of fifteen years experience. .-AuS-

RsIy@ l.. II. Thomas, a congressional
candidate of the Michigan Nationals,
whom they claim to have been all along
in sympathy with them, is confronted
in public prints with his own hand
writing, drumming up speakers for an
honest money meeting in his neighbor-
hood no longer ago than last March.
Bag@ The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
wants the people of Missouri to pull
down Col. George G.. Vest, who does
not believe that negroes should be al
lowed to vote. Such talk makes the
negroes shy of the Democrats, and the
Chronicle wants Col. Vest suppressed
until after the election.
BFTEa One of the most curious things
about the nominations of the new Ma
tiOnal or Workingman's party is, that
rs general thing it is not the horny
handed sons of toll, but wealthy cap
italists that get the best positions on
their ticket. This is especially true with
regard to their congressional nominees.

Rs5" The Raleigh On. c. Observer
(Dem.) is much concerned lest Gen.
Grant, if elected to third term, ''may
destroy the Government" And vet
this paper was a rabid secession organ,
and, as such, did all that it could to
bring about this calamity. If the
Union still stands, it is because Gen.
