The Republican party is devoted to
wat It calls prinsiples. 1t hez some
distinctive ices, and its leaders hev
alluz bin afflicted with the loonacy NV
tryin to make wat they call hoomanity
better. Consistently it embraces in its
organizashen the three-tenths that they
arrogantly call good citizens, them
wich is willin to stand defeat for an
ice. They hev the old Ablishnists,
them loonatix witch yeers ago turned
their bax upon Post-offisis and willinly
endoored rotten eggs and lynchin for
the sake of freein the nigger, and after
ward insisted on givin him the ballot
the same ez the white man. In the in

the wall for yeers opposin free trade,
never thinkin they might have luxuri-

doin, by takin the other tack, and now
they hev put themselves in opposishen

and that free trade in il fills the Jales

Dimocrisy hez other views. A Dime

census reports and the soshel statistics.
In all matters in which ther is profit
men dig down and never dig up. When
you want oil you bore for 1t, and you
likewise dig for gold. The CRATE mine

while gin-mills and beer-shops are open
seven days Nv the week, and sixteen
hours Nv the day, churches are only
open on Sundays and then only fur a
few hours. The servants of the devil
are Industrious, much more than them
which serve the Lord.

Our best holt is the gin-mills and
beer-shops. We hev alluz he'd em and
alluz will. Indeed, don't know ez we
Good tear ourselves loose from em ef
we tried. It's a toss up whether we
hev them or they US. Wat wood the

With the gin-mills with us, we hev a
percentage on the Republicans that is
terrific. A wholesale merchant or man.

times ez may be necessary TO roll up the
majorities we want. 1t wuz the gin
mills that wuz Boss Tweed's best holt
in the good old days when he he'd Moo
York, and it is our cheef dependence
everywhere. The strength of the De-
mocrisy may be estimated by the aker.
1t takes so many akers NV sod corn to
make Dimekrat, and our majorities
may be estimated from the smoke that
goes up from the distilleries, and the
number ny bars over wich the produk is
dispensed.
Everything seeks its level. A man
can't lift hisself by the straps NV his
boots, nor kin 700 put moo wine into
old bottles. Wat we want is majorities,
and thar amt no yoose in wastin time
on reasonin men and sich, for them is
not in the majority. Everybody hez a
stumick, but very small porshen NV
mankind hev inttelleck. The Republik-
In party appeles to the intelleck nv
one class. Ef that class hez iniooence
enuff to corrall the votes, they win, and
we can't help 1t. But stumick is our
dependence, and we can't very well go
out NV the stumick biznis- We hev the
