were unknown quantities In the Republican
party in 1884. which would not have to be con-
adhered this year. One was the muewump
dissfectiop, the other the third-party
| Prob itionists. The muewump got an
| idea to his head that he was a great
disn liant. and he dumped himself into the
pool Of Democracy. As purifier OF Democracy
| he was utter failure. There fully
much corruption In that party now as there was
before the muewumps attempted their purify
ing process. They forged tally -sheets in Gin
cnnati and in Indianapolis with an adeptness
that would have done credit to Q Boss Tweed.
The mugwumps had had enough experience in
attempting to purify Democracy. They were
| now all drying themselves in the sun. and wait
| ing for the Republican procession to come
| along. The third-party hibitionists. the
| speaker thought had defined their position
