1iIden had no idea that non-partisan twist
! could ily back so.
! These be the days when the Presidential candi.
date keepeth his eye open for points.
The silver bill was aimed at the country but IL
] hit Randall and bis party sqnare in the centre
If Buckner loOsos his intellect on the colnpositon
OF silver bill. Congress must rdn lively for Ito lie
Senator Jonas is evidently convinced that no son
| of Louisiana can attain emnonce by too strict adj
| heTeDce TO the truth.
| Fernando Wood has earned forgiveness for many
political sins by keeping the claws of this Congress
away from the industrial Interests OF the country
Five Senators shouted at once,
| The villain has cooked our gOOse
We don't object to your common guns.
But Blaine is a mtrailleusew
Not Democrat has come forward yet TO claim
| that chrome offered for the man who has been
scared away from the polls by "bristling bayonetsp
Yet the Democratic editor still howls.
Montgomery Blair declares that he has no idea Of
starting new Democratic newspaper in Washing
ton. The party should appoint a day of thanksgiv.
ing for this merclful deliyerance from "a deadly

be fired of II will appear inst i'm time 10 be over
shadowed by the third Veto so that Knott will
probably be the only man who will ever read it.

by ex-senator Barnum and the leading lights OF
the Democratic party, for the purpose Of drawing

thanking him for his speeches in the Senate. A
business man in Michigan wrote d" see that
Washington paper claims that you were drunk
when you went for the fraud and violence patriots
The other day. If that is the way the old thing
works with you, Michigan wants you to get drunk
every day on the same kind Of whlskey" Judging
from the hearty delight expressed about the same
speech IN other parts OF the country this Is the pre-
yailing Republican sentiment.
Blackburn remains as ferocIous as ever, spite of
that solemn warning from Mr.. Watterson that
revolution is ruin. Blackburn says if the Demo-
cratic caucus is cowardy 70 vote m favor Of
backdOwn he has fifty Democrats pledged to flibus-
ter and prevent it. lie is prepared 70 keep up the
FIGHT all Summer and every Republican in the land
will hope be may have the chance. IL would be a
tremendous job to figure up the Republican majori-
ties, but hard work OF that klnd can he borne.
With Blackburn's circus OF nfty performers IN full
operation there would be no need for Bepublican
campaign.
The louisville CoUir-JoWRal says Of the party
that believes that the Federal Government has
some rights These gentlemen only want the bayO-

opinion about the best field for his services Ia the
Republican Convention of Trumbull County, on
Monday this resolution was unanimously adopted
The course Of our representative in Congress,
James A. Garfield, being satisfactory to his con-
stituents in Tmmbu County and being proud OF

available in Congress than even in the highest
place IN the pift of State, especially IN the
present disturbed condition OF affairs. w hereby
