fear, either as principle or os a motive,
is the beginning of all evil, and TO ex-
claim with the Bard OF Aron-"Of all base
passions fear is most aceursed.v 1t is said
that " the passion of fear determines
the spirits, of the muscles OF the
knees, which are instantly ready TO
perform their motion by taking mp the
legs with Incompatible celerity, in order TO
remove the body Out Of harms way" and
the only surprising feature of the present
fearful condition of the democrats party
is that every man of it's component ma
terial is not on the run ut the pace of
double.quick.
The remedy for ali the ills and fears that
now afllict thedemocratic party, for nobody
else is disturbed by the prospect, is to de-
feat GARFiELD, and then all will he lovely (;
but should lie he elected, the thidterm
ghost might be vitalizcd so that 1t may be
successful in 1884. This horrible warning
is followed by a terrific screech i'll these
frantic terms:
Americans! who love your country as
your country is now, bewarew
And this is counted as navy-yord
screech, which should he followed by q
sudden retreat on board an iron-clad moni-
tor for personal safety. 1t is to be hoped
that this pathetic appeal may reach the
cars of the secretary of tie navy and
prompt TO immediate measures TO avert the
impending danger aud secure the safety Of
the screeeher.

Tie Cocktail in the Morn.

Let English hug his gains
And doplorc my lack ofbrains,
Aud Barnum wear his look of mulish scorn;
Sure l. more blest than they,
Can begin each dismal day
With a smiling little cocktail in the morn
morn-morn-
With my famous little cocktail in the morn.
To the world, with smile and grace,
Should old Tildcn plead his case
Aud his knowledge of the cipher trick make
known,
without his cheerful glass
He'd be stupid as an ass,
SO he takes his little cocktail In the morn
And /, too, am fond OF cocktails in the morn.
IL Grant would come this way
would kick him in the bay,
For he's held me upto pubic laugh and scornj
lie has made my chance 50 blue
That I've nothing left to do
But to mix my famous cocktails in the morn
morn-morn-
And warm ME up with cocktails in the morn.
There's the tariff Why in h
Did that newspNperal sell
Draw me out about the town where was born
I wish may be shot
But must have quite forgot
Any water in my cocktails in the morn

To put water in my cocktails In the morn.
And when the steamtug comes
With It's load Of rogues and buns,
Who pursue me till wish wasn't born,
Sure, there's nothing can do

Half so good as drink a cocktail in the morn

As half a dozen cocktails in the morn.
Faith, when grim old death appears
After few moro groggy years
Aud tells me life IS nearly gone,
I'll gladly doir my belts
And though lt for nothing else,
still may mix my cocktails in the morn

have been poured upon the character of its

THE democrats are doing very stupid
things in this canvass, but the cap sheaf oI
its folly and stupidity is 10 forge letter
on the Chinese question and attempt TO
palm it off upon public credulity as coming
from General GARFIELD himself When his
attention was called to this dirty trans
action he promptly denounced it as a
stupid forgery AS It now looks the ortho-
dox doctrine of total depraviiy will be
clearly established in this campaign, Mt
least so far MS the democratic party is con-
Ccrncd.

WHEN that mule kicked WADE HAMP-
TON and crippled him, the public SYM
pathized with his misfortune, but when
JoHN SHERMAN lifted his scalp and liter
ally hayed him alive, the people smiled a
smile Of profound satisfaction. The mule
kick was nothing compared with the skin
ing that Secretary sFEaNAN gave him in
his correspondence with the charlatan.
Hereafter he will, no doubt, cultivate the
acquaintance of the mule and give Secre-
tary SHERMAN wide berth. HAMPTON
has probably learned the secretary's adj

DEMOCRATIC FEAR AND SUFFERING

DEMOCRATIC FEAR AND SUFFERING.
The democrats just now are suffering
from a fear Of impending disaster They
are oppressed under the late results in In
diana and Ohio to a degree that, to use the
language of SHAKESPEARE, their "lear
makes devils of cherubims." Now they sec
looming up in the distance "GRANT and an
empire" The great man of the nation, who
received the sword of rebellion at Apo
mattox, is now discovered 10 be ga danger,
q great danger" This is sad II is terri
bic. The only danger that General GRANT
has ever proved himself is to the enemies
of his country. To these he is a real aud
abiding danger, until submission on their
part is reached, and then he has proved
living 1t was 80 Mt Appomattox. II has
been so ever since. None need have fear
of him except those who seek to subvert
this government or to overthrow il alto
gether.
Then, as if the country had not fully
measured and appreciated his greatness,
the democrats now declare that Gen
cral GRANT " is not great man" ac-
cording to their measure of greatness,
though he is honored all over the world
by all the civilized nations MS a wise,
sagacious, just and magnanimous man,
endowed with superior mental qualih-
cations. If there is any danger attached
to General GRANTS character, il is that
which arises from an entire consecration oil
his abilities TO promote the welfare Of the
American people, and guard with scrupu-
lous care their every Inherent right. To
those who would trample the rights Of the
people under foot, he may be dangerous,
but not TO tho welfare Of the people them
selves.
Another great fear has suddenly seized
the democratic heart, if that party has any
which finds expression in the sad predic-
ti0n that
GAHPIELD's election IN 1850, therefore
means GRANTS nomination aud certain ''eoc.
ton in lsSi
Whether this prediction, which is tile of.
spring ola fear that il far more painful tc
cowardicc than death TO true courage is
to be verified, time alone must determine
buta more happy day to all the American
people could not be attained in any otheI
way than by such an event. The fear tha
il may happen excites the rebel yell, whicl
proclaims that "it means GRANT a mon
arch aud this country a monarchy. /
means an empire, with GRANT for en-
peror" This is mere aapdoodle, the stut
that fools are fed on. 1t is the generation
of that fear which
Draws more fantastic shapes than in the grains
! OF knOued wood in some mems crazy brains
| When Nll tho cocks they see and bulls
| Are only IN the insdcs Of their skulls
And this sad paroxysm only verhes tn
truth Of the maxim that Sin politics wha
begins in fear usually ends in folly" for
more foolish and silly utterance was neye
compressed from the germ of fear THAI
that which declares TO the intelligent peo
pie of this republic that the admiration
love and respect shown for General GRAN'
means an empire, with GRANT for en-
peror"
In view Of all this supreme nonsens
which is uttered under the conjuring powe
of democratic fear, we are led to concu
