SHALL WE HAVE A NEW PARTYss

SHALL WE HAVE A NEW PARTY -
The editor OF the Ner Religion, an
erratic paper published in Norway, after
floating about aud embracing by turns, all
the shades Of political opinion, is still UNI
happy, and signing for another change.
He is frantically calling for volunteers
from all the disgruntled aud disintegrating
elements of the old parties, to join drives
In the formation Of new party, whose
name shall not be fashioned after anything
vet heard of in the world Of politics. The
scheme is worthy the warm heart and
active Imagination of the Rev. j. A. Seitz
who Is the originator of the scheme.
rise to second the motion. and to offer
few suggestions with regard to the or
ganization and management of the new
party.
As the new party Is to be the originator
and exponent OF new and untricd theories,
and is to be composed, according 10 the
Ne'c Religion, OF soreheads from the three
political parties now in existence, ! would
respectfully suggest that II be called the
National Sorenead Party. The name,
though not in itself musical, certainly has
the meri, of being suggestive aud appro-
pirate.
II will be important that the new party
be kept free from all the corrupt practices
aud influences OF the old party political
hacks AMI bosses. | would Therefore
recommend that an Investigating commit
tee bee appointed, whose duty 1t shall he TO
INQUIRE into the character aud sntecedents
OF all applicants for admission into the
new party.
Sdch u committee composed OF such true
and t,ied men as Bamum, Hewitt, Philip
and Morey, aided by State committees OF
auch brilliant luminarics A. cx-Guv. Gar
celon and Council would AZ once give
character and tone 10 the new party, and
would he a guarantee that nothing com
mon or unclean would ever be permitted
10 pass the portals of this political sanctu-
airy.
All applications for membership should
be addressed 10 Rev. J. A. Seitz, Norway,
Me, and must be accompanied by the init
alton Zee OF one dollar. y. b. Don't for
get the dollar. The Ne,e Religion will
continue at intervals to publish fac SMILES
OF the Morey letter accompanied by short
lectures on the exceeding sinnulness OF
forgery, perjury and fraud.
BY all means let us have such a party.
II for no other reason, II would afford an
asylum in which such war worn veterans
a. Ben Butler, Boss Shepherd and Archi-
tect Mullet who are passed labor in the
field OF economy aud reform, could spend
their declining years In peace and quiet
under the benign influence OF Mr.. Seitz's
Sunday School.
Mr.. Seitz says he has actually received
several dollars, which argues well for cf-
fectlve work in the new order. Pass in
your dollars gentlemen. He also says he
has heard from several who are anxious
10 join the new party; and 30 have we.
For weeks the asonizlng cry has gone up
from john W. Forney, Gen. Sickles, Ben
Butler and a host OF others, ITO whom
shall zee go;' and the new party organ
should echo back the answer In thunder
tones, but in the language OF one of Mr.
Seitz's beautiful hymns:
Come We weary. heavy laden.
Bruised and mAnglcd 10y the fall,
DO not tarry 10 grow better.
Come Boss shepard. seiiZ aud all.
shall keep the readers OF the OXFORD
posted on the work and progress
OF the New Party. HASsAN ARAM.
