workingman's ticket The Democratic
combination makes with a soldier on
one end and Shylock on the other.
The political editor of the Kansas City

with the doubtful states in November.
The awfully weak part of the superb
program is. that Hancock's magnificence

effete organization.
1t is asserted that several professional
ballot-boX suffers in the south have

The Democrats are now deriving co
ISOLATION from the reflection that If the
