The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1884-12-04

Being on high bridge or other place
from which one might fall, signifies
danger; and the same was signitied by
the unsafe appearance OF the bridge;
but from the fact that the dreamer
passed over i'll safety, and the other
train coming on i different track and
from an opposite direction. I have no
doubt but he has concluded that his
party would be successful in the presi-
Dental election, and that the delnO-
cratic party was typified by the train
which went to destruction at the bridge.
But we think such 4 conclusion is
not clearly sustained when we consider
all of the facts and surroundings of the
dreamer. He was interested in the
esldential election. and also il the
election of his state and legislative dis
trict; especially in the latter, because
the candidate Was his relative and law
partner, las I chance to know). There
fore we infer that the train which he
RODE had reference to the success Of his
party and law partner in his legislative
district, and that the train represent
ing the presidential election would
probably appear upon another track,
although OF the same political party.
DREAMS OF A BuTLER MAN.-T. W. B.
Sir:-L will relate two or three of my
political dreams, and 1 will first say
that am a Butler man and anti-mo-
nopolist.
TEe first dream is this: My mother
was sitting in the front stoOp, myself
and hired man standing Oh the ground
III front, all facing the east. At once
my attention was drawn to the sky in
the east. About half way to the zenith
was an Indian mounted on horseback
going north, with bow and arrow
drawn, and Il long flock of crows fol-
lowing after, extending far to the
south. Then looked again and said:
II wish I had my field glass" The
scene then changed. aud | saw a for
me: hired man come out OF the grain
barn dressed ill Z0uave uniform. THIS
dream made y deep impression.
Second. The next dream is rs fol-
lows: Looking ahead of me I saw a
few gypsies and said they could fore
tell the future. Coming to them they
we're in Il hOg-yard where there were
some store hogs. The scene changed
again. Butler was driving the hogs
north through narrow path which
had board fence on each side with
regular openings. Myself and my
brother were guarding the openings,
one of.us on each side. Benjamin said
it he could get them through there he
| would thresh his way up north. We
got through safe.
Third The next I stood on the
northwest shore of Il large body of wa
ter bordered 10y large piece Of woods
on the west, and [ saw two dead bodies
! OH the water in front of me, and could
not discover who they were. My moth.
er appeared to the right and little be-
! hind me and poin led back to the lovtl
to Il banner, on which was inscribed
''.)nne 5th, 1881" Then l saw the
bodies up in the air above the water,
and sailed up there to come down in
the water and WAS submerged, then
| came back again on the north shore
where there was man. This WAS Ill
unpleasant dream.
The editor, in his interpretation OF
this dream, says:
The mounted Indian with bow and
arrow represents General Butler.
The immense flock of ctowS follow
ing the mounted Indian had reference
to the numerous reform ideas which
are entertained by the numerous mem
bers OF the Butler and anti-monopoly
| parties.
The inscription Of "June 5th, 1884,"
pointed out by the mother signifies de-
feat for him who WIS nominated on
that day.
DREAMS OF \ MINNESOTA RElsJ,RII
CANA. p. N.
have frequently had dreams fore
| sbadowing the result of political cam
palgns, i'll which was engaged, and
the dream has always proved to he {:
reliable ''Omen.'
A few years ago took an active part
against Il candidate who was quite
noted for his "machine' methods
Two weeks before election I dreamed
that was seated in a beautiful little
row. boat, rowing along easily in !: c;s.
Nal with banks two or three feet high
on each side. Suddenly Il large canal
boat appeared behind me, and in = mo.
ment my boat was lifted to the tow
path and the large boat passed nae and
stopped. The name OF the boat, / 20
ticed. was ''Machinist," which was
painted III curve on the stern, and
remember thinking in my dream what
a singular name for boat. Before the
day Of election had read my dream
Alright. concluded that the row boat
represented my own party, and the
large boat the ''machinist's" party
and that we would be defeated. This
was u correct "diaghosis," for the
''machinist" won.
Again, quite recently, I dreamed
that l was in Il manufacturing city
Opposite to me was row of bricl
buildings, two and three stories high
which seemed to be boarding house:
for working men. The windows ant
doors seemed to he filled with men o
all nationallties and races, and al
seemed to be in high spirits, singing
laughing and calling TO each other ant
those in the upper windows seemed tt
step out into the street rs readily a!
those on the ground floor. Next saw
i high tower, on the top of which WAS
Il square building which l saw was =
factory of some kind. The men wer'
gathering to begin work, and the sin
gular feature was that they came O.
wings. The air around the buil,lin,
was filled with operatives, and off tt
the west WAS u great flock, like q tlocl
Of birds, coming on wings. Here too
I noticed they all seemed to be in higl
spirits.
Does this refer to the political move
meHt Of the working men, or has j
some wider significance, if any2
En- his Interpretation Of the latte
dream the editor expresses the opinion
that the tower with the building o,
top represents one Of the presidential
candidates, and thinks it means Blaine
But he says: sin this there is nothin
which enables us to point out the par
ty which will be successful in the ap
preaching election"
