Our Democratic exchanges say

Our Democratic exchanges say
that their party can succeed next
year with a good ticket and a good
platform. 1t will have to come to
the Republican party to find either.
Ex-vice President Colfax says the
man for the Republicans to nominate
next year is the'cne who can poll the
most yotes.--Colfax might have ex-
pressedlthisin fewer words BY sim
ply writing John Sherman.
~ Democrats, as we'll as Republicans,
whofeel happy over the ''boom" Of
revived business should not forget
That it is the result OF the "boom" Of
the Republican party, and to have
this prosperity continue we must
have 6 perpetual doom Of the Demo-
cratic party.
1t is greatly to the credit of John
Sherman that he has brought about
thel Presumption Of specie payment
despite Incorporation Of the whole
Democratic. party, Senator Bayard
excepted and some Republicans, who
tried to prevent it by repeating the
Resumption Act.
The Chinaman says the "Melican
mar too much t-a-l-k-e-e." Johns
wisdom is INDICATED. The Democrats
~t-a-lk-e-e themselves out of POWER
in every GNorthern and Western
State during the last session of Con-
gress and now they are as dumb as
oysters. l9 5000 lal9.
Hon. Bob. Taylor says: "Let the
Democracy be united to a man."
Bob. takes Democracy for a woman,
and is advising her to get married. It
won't do, Bob, to start that boom.
The old wench is so ugly and her
morals SO bad she can't find anybody
to take her.
The writer of u work on Natural
History exclmms: "What a pity
some quadrupeds can't talk" Sensible
Democrats, who reflect on the
speeches in the last Congress Of such
donkeys as Blackburn, Of kentucky
are disposed to exclaim: "What q
pity some bipeds Gun talk"
While John Sherman was bringing
about the revival in trade in bringing
about resumption Of specie payments
the Democrats were howliue ''de.
preston The only depression
visible is in the Democratic party.
This is the most thoroughly depressed
. concern on the face of the earth.
The reduction Of the rate of interest
on the public debt Of one million
. dollars a month, and Of the sum O.
Z The debt ten millions u month, is

among the Woodworking farmers

The late Gen. Tom Ewing, VIII
was the late Democratic candidat
for Governor Of Ohio, has started
boom for Joel Parker, of Ne
jersey, for President. 1t is objectt
that Ewing is not the mar to start

fair to Ewing. He is not deader tha
