The democrats frankly confess that
il is absurd for them to think about
carrying Maine, but they talk vaguely
about reducing the republican majori-
ty in September, and so DESTROY any

which he went east, and stopped at
Detroit on his way home. He said;
that Ills observations led him to be.

carry single eastern state, or even his

gave his experience. Forty years ago
he lived in Burr Oak and needed
some salt. With fifty bushels of
wheat in his wagon he started for
Adrian; found no cash paid for grain
there and went on TO Palmyra mills,
where he sold his wheat for 80 cents a
bushel. He went back TO Adrian and
paid sc for two barrels of salt, and
home again in five days, going over
bad roads. His wheat brought him

expense Of five days travel. Now lis

il has been regaling the democracy for

Democratic Corruption.

The Tweed ring was democratic

of New York il stole over twenty mill
ion dollars. The robber treasurer of
Arkansas was democrat. the robber
treasurer Of Tennessee was democrat.

New York City are democrats. and
wherever there are democrats in office.
defalcations and stealing occur greatly
in excess of the same under republican

issue to be urged by party that shows
such remarkable tendercv to become
corrupt the moment IL gets into pow

ary of every democratic official the
