GENERAL PALMER's MULE.

At the Democratic State Convention Gov
ernor John B. Palmer made a speech
against time, while trade Morrison and
compromise Harrison were in the travail
of council over tariff plank for the plat
form. The Governor, among other things
said something about General Logan. when
a voice cried out, Look out for the Black
Eagle At this the Governor shouted
" The eagle in this case is a buzzard Now
let me tell you if as l heard some
friend whisper, were nominated in Chi
cagoa and were elected in November l should
demand plank in the platform providing
that the eagle should be stricken off Ameri-
can coin and mule substituted. The eagle
is foul bird at the best. A mule repre-
sents the American character in steadfast
purpose and defense of our rights. The
mule is always winner"
That is a good Democratic doctrine, and
if the Democracy wins in November we
trust that the mule will be substituted for
the eagle. The one is typical of lofty aims
and daring approaches to the sun lives in
the pure atmosphere of exalted attitudes
and rules the kingdom OF the air The
other is beast of burden bound TO earth,
enduring blows and slavery, and its high
est ambition is to be ranked among the
" kickers' If the Democracy wins in No
vember, it will be because of kickeTs, -"
and the mule certainly should then Gust
the bird Of freedom from the national
shield We second General Palmer's
suggestion and suggest as an addendum
that the coin motto be likewise reformed
and the word God" be displaced by the
name Of some patron saint of the Demo
cratic host-Jeff. Davis, for instance.
