prOphesies, and of course all Indicated
the election of Cleveland It is notice
able, however, that each dream is 80
wOrded that it can be interpreted il
any manner the reader sees fit. Had
Bplva Lockwood been elected every one
of these dreams would liz published as
demonstrating the fact. us they are
now given to prove that Cleveland WAS
bound to win.-St. james Journal.
Tue Journal is mistaken again. We
gave the dreams as something curious
in psychology and as showing that com.

land gets there and we must submit to
it, dreams or no dreams.
