History Will Repeat Itself.


Mr.. EDITOR There are many
people living, not yet among the
aged, who will remember the two
political campaigns of 1910 and 1914.
They we're the most excited and in
tense in the history of politics before
then, or since yet there was no vio-
lence and not much that was indie
corOus, but there was a great deal
thatpartook of point, wit and good
hunor. Large mass meetings were
COMMON all over the country, with
aoie sPtskers who made speaking a
daily occupation. The Wings gen.
orally had the best of it in this line,
but the Democrats then, as now.
were good at voting.
Emblems or symbols were in great
vogue, especially among the Wings.
1910 was the beginning of log cabins,
balls, hard cider, coons. fox skins,
&c. One of these log cabins passed
over The National road from Union
town Penn, to Baltimore on an
immense wagon. 1t was complete
in every respect, even down to the
wooden latch, and leather string
hanging outside. This was a sign of
welcome within. The log cabin rep
resented General w. H. Harrison's
first home at Northbend, Ohio, in
contrast with the magnificent resi-
dence of his opponent. The point
aimed at by hard cider was not so
clear as the apple bearing orchard
was not cotemporaneou with the
cabin. Coons were always very nu-
merous in new countries - have
known many log cabins or houses to
be almost matched with the skins Of
these favorite animals. Large re-
volying balls were used In some in
stances, principally in Maryland.
That most enthusiastic Wing, Thos.
Shriyer, of Cumberland, was the
inventor. The idea was to put a
political revolution in motion that
was to roll on till the Democracy
should be oyerrun and defeated, and
soft Vas in 1910. But it is believed
the idea of the ball was of Democratic
thought, and came this way: In
1884 the Wing Senate passed a reso-
luton of censure upon President
Jackson for his removal of the de.
poslts of Government money from
the old U. S, Bank. Senator Thomas
ii. benton, a powerful man, the
brains and energy of his party. took
it as almost personal to himself, and
offered his celebrated expunging res
olution in the Senate without con-
sultlng any human being, with this
caption to his first speech, SOLITARY
and alone put this ball in motion"
and ne kept at his ball till his reso-
luton passed in 1887. This he con-
sidered the great triumph of his life.
But IL Was somewhat notifying to
Clay and Calhoun, the two great an
tagonizers of Jackson.
The Democracy was not so prolific
in emolems, but they shouted very
loudly to the laboring men, 1.-TWO
dollars per day and roasted beef.'

promise once saw stuffed OK hide
