painful.

Richmond Palladum If the Democratic party
had been honest there would have been no mis-

to talking about Congress doing this, and Con
gress doing that for the relief of the country
that We sometimes forget that it doesn't do any
thing but draw its pay and keep the country in a
state of feyerish uncertainty.

about hard times all they please, but that will

gresa is booming the party to certain and sure
