We have met the enemy and we are
his'n We have made our remarks
and we are now ready to listen 10 the
gentleman from New York. We could
have dug out, perhaps and explain
about New York but when almost every
State in the Union rose up and made
certain statements yesterday we found
that the JOB OF explaining this matter
thoroughly would be weaTisome and
require great deal of time.
We do not blame the Democracy
for this. We are a little surprised. how
ever and grleved. 1t will interfere
with our wardrobe this winter. With
an overcoat on Wyoming, a plug hat
on Iowa, pair Of pan:aloons on Penn
sylvania and boots on the general
result, it looks now as though we would
probably go through the winter wrap
ped in bed quilt and profound med
itatlon.
We intended to publish an extra this
morning, but the news was of such
character that we thought We would
get along without 1t. What was the
use of publishing an extra with a re-
publican majority only III Red Buttes {!
The cause of this great democratic
freshet in New York yesterday-but
why 90 into details, we all have an
idea why it was so. The number OF
votes would seem to indicate that there
was tendency towards Democracy
through out the State.
N w, in Pennsylvania, II you look
over the returns careful'v-but why
should we take up your ,aluable time
offering an explanation of a political
matter OF the past!
Under the circumstances some would
go and yield to the soothing influence
of the maddening bowl, but we do not
advise that. 1t would only furnish
temporary relief, and the recoll would
be unpleasant.
We resume our arduous duties with
pf ceiling OF extreme ennul, and with
that sense ofsurprlse and astonishmen:
tha: a man does who has had large
brick block fall on him when he was
not expecting it. Although We feel
little lonely to-day-having met but
few republicans on the street, who
were obliged to come out and do their
marketing-we still hope for the future.
The grand old republican party.
But that's what we said last week.
1t sounds hollow now, and meaningless,
somehow, because our voice is little
hoarse, and we are showed uuder so
deep that 1t is difficult for US to eDun-
ciate.
Now about those bets. Ii the par
ties to whom we owe bets-and we
owe most everybohy-will just agree
to take the stakes and not go into de-
tails, not stop to ask US about the state
OF our mind and talk about how 1t was
done, We don't care. We don't wish !
to have this thing explained at all. |
We are not of an inquiring turn of
mind. Just PLAN facts are good enough |
for US, without any narrowing details.
In the meantime going to work to earn
some more money to bet on the next
election. Judge Folger and others,
come over and see Us when you have
time and we will talk the matter over.
Mr.. B. Butler, we wish We had your
longevity. With a robust constitution
we find that most any man can wear
out cruel fate and get there at last.
We do not feel so angry as we do griev-
ed and surprised We are panied to
see the American people thus betray
our confidence and throw large ward
robe into the hands of the relentless
