There are certain things about il that attract
me: but ! regard il Il little as | do a water
spout. which | like to look NJ from Il distance,
hut dislike to get too Near il: and when I see
one OF its pro~ceSSiOns-and We will see
many of them during this campaign-I feci
about them ms our old friend STROBE. in this
state. when ne described an experience of his
Own in the BiacShawk war. He said: ''By

e'nil;ence. | saw Il hostile band. They were
gentlemen without hats: | did not know who
who they were. but | knew very well they

am in for the war. I.aughter.I ! am very glad
always 10 see il Democratic platform when il
IL wheeled out early in the campaign. Have
you ever looked mt il! IL is one OF the most
c'iriouSly.conStructed pieces of machinery
perhaps i'll the world. Ii looks very becOni-
ing and proper at a little distance. The edges
are strung around with bingham; the old
hllcd up with putty: il is white
washed, and its general look is reputable and
falr; hut 1t Is like Il whited sepuIchre: II won't
water. Ii is like the spotted dog of Dan
R~ichmond's which he took under his coat |
coming back in Il thunderstorm; he saw that
the spots were all washed into the dingieSt
brown, and he exclaimed: Il know now what
that man on Beacon street meant when he
took that do" out from the basement. He
said to me: Mister. there Is an umbrella goes |
with that dog" G.aughtcr) The thing won't
wash.
THE TARIFF POSITION.
i want you to contemplate the position of
the Democratic party on the tariff. They are

Jumped over the fcnce-they can neither /
hnok III front nor kick behind. tiaughter.l |
They are utterly worthless either Tor aggreS-
SINe or defensive purposes; they can not claim
hat they were for protection, because the
party was the author of this re-
horizontal scheme; they can not
claim that they were for the reform of the
revenue. because Democratic votes beat the
iariff. They are without fixed political priu-
cipleS on any question except the idea that.

! hey say they require n change. so do We. and
are going 10 have one. When his honor

reflected credit upon himself and upon the
Natlon here ana throughout the w~rrid-when
Chester y. Arthur Shall have resigned the POI
'ition which he has filled with such di>tin-
rushed credit tn himself and the Nation. we
will have a change. and James g.. Blaine will
assume his place. Cheers.J We change occa-
'ioually from one shepherd dog TO another.
Jut we never change from any shepherd dog
