1t IS only by reading the history of
the Democratic party from the day
John c. Calhoun traded the Presi-
dental delegation of South Carolina
to James <. Polk down to the pres
ent time that you and I can read the
policy of the Democratic party in the
future. To-day the rebel brigadiers
in Congress are struggling for the
Legislative control of the country.
To-day the northern branch Of the
Democratic party is the tail of the
Democratic dog of the South, and if
you have the faintest idea that the
tail will ever wag the dog you are
greatly mistaken. To-day the Dem
ocratic leaders of the South will tell
yer that the negro vote of the South
will not be counted; they do not
deny it, and if they did the living
truth of the past and present stands
against them To-day the brigadiers
in the House Of Congress and the
Democratic politicians in every leg
islature in the South will tell yer that
the negro vote of the past in almost
every Southern State has been dis
carded and thrown out and that it is
a deliberately formed purpose tovio-
late the 18th and 18th amendments
to the Constitution. To-day from
the graves of four hundred thousand
patriots who laid down their lives for
American liberty and American I'm
ion comes still, small voice which
says: Bey0re! We removed the
shackles from the limbs and the
scourge from the backs of the black
man of the South; we wrote the 18th
and 18TH amendments in letters of
fame on the scroll of Liberty in the
smoke and gloom of bat
tie and it is your duty as American
citizens to guard the right to the bal
lot box which we have given to the
colored men of the South, as devo-
tedly and fearlessly as you would
your own fresides, and remember
that,
Freedoms battle once begun,
Bequeathed by bleeding sire to son,
Though baffied oft, is ever won.
To-day the Democratic party of
the South assisted by the Democrats
of the North, are standing in the
pathway of empire and steadily re-
fuse to admit the great Territories of
Dakota and Washington with their
million inhabitants, into the Union
of States. To-day they are trying to
inaugurate policy similar to the one
of 1914 which left the commercial
structure of the government in ruins
on the top of which the Democratic
traitors of the South drew their
swords"
While 1 was talkin' Ike looked
embarrassed. He turned red, then
white, and | guess he felt blue. He
got up from the table and went over
to the kitchen stove; then he opened
the stove door; then he pulled the
Thurman bandanner out of his coat
tail pocket and blew his nose on it ful
the last time and threw the thing in
ter the fire; then he took Cleveland's
picture and free trade badge off from
his vest and threw them after the
bandanner; then he went to tn {
writin desk and got six copies of the
Chicago Globe and threw after the
free trade badge. Then he gathered
up all the speeches that the Demo
Gratis had made in Congress There
was about 10 of 'em) and threw then
after the Chicago Globe, then he
came over where I was and he hello
out his hand and says he, Samantha
Jemlma Doodle, if ever | vote the
Democratic ticket, d-n me" and
then he went out to work and now
he attends to his business and don't
drink any more Burlington beer and
Racine whisky. From the Corners,
SAMANTHA DOODLE.
