Sirasburg enjoys the novel reputation

and is cut down lie ieetb also rs =
shadow, of Democracy, but contiueth not
in one stay. In the midst of Democratic
civil service reform, he is found to quote

soul
It's the voice Of years that are gone.
They roll before me with all their deeds
lie looketh about him for succor, but no
help is nigh save those economic prnci-
pies embodied in the Republican platform.

at seeing himself and party about to be
engulicd by that cyclone Of ballots which
will i'm November oblterate every yestige
of Democracy, and leave him like Cardinal
Wolsley, "Weary and old with service, TO
the mercy of rude stream that must for
ever hide him." ale catches on he
embraces the g'and principles of protec'
tion, votes for Harrison Morton and
Roller, and is redeemed, enancipated,
dlsenthralled.
