Such men don't look below the sur.

I kin understand why they shud
feel ugly, and, sometimes. when /
hev bin fifteen or twenty minits
without drink. hev felt the same
thing.
However, I can't RELY eompIane.

hev he'd my spells NV doubtin the
Dimocrisy NV our beloved President.
that IL, the true JacksoIiiar Dimocrisy
witch hez bin the rule Nv the party
far third NV a century. Ican't inn
sgine a Dimecratic President witch
wud keep hungry Dimekrat out Nv
offs wher stealth wuz possible. I
do not jist see why Lubbock il still
Postmaster at the Corners, The mig
ger at that, nor kin jist make up
my mind that there liz eny reason
why Pollock and Bigler shud occupy
the two Colseetorships. The sweets
NV offishel patronage shnd be enjoy
ed by US uns witch hev earnt it.
But l hev cum to the conclusion
that despite these onaccountable vs-
carries Grover Cleveland is still a
DimCcrat and hez awl the instincts
Nv Dimokrat. Upon wat do base
my opinyun? SevreI things.

Their amt any question ez to Gar
lands DiMccrasy or the orthodoxy,
from Dimecratic standpoint, Nv hiz
methods. He hez undoubtedly used
hiz ofishel posishen to fether hiz own

nuthin about it. but when it did
come out L shud hev expected the
President to stand by me. That our
President hez done this with Garland
shows clearly that if he hez not alluz
follered president, he, at least, hez
hiz he'd pinted In the rite direction.
He will work up in time to the prac-

standin by Garland is reinsurance
to US Mossbax witch IL delitefu!.

in Civil Servis Reform, and swares
that he will harry 1t out. that when
he RELY wants to reaaeve an offishel
he generally makes out to find an ex-
cuse for it. He hezn't worked the
gilloteen ez rapidly or steadily ez he
mite. but when 1t hez moved, the
successor NV the beheaded one hez
bin of that sort that the Democrisy
cud find no fault with. His Turin
