l. That it was a great surprise TO
both parties.
.. That the democratic managers
lived in FOOLS paradise until General
Benjamin Harrison drove them out
with flaming sword.
8 That the republicans got away
with the countrywide, stock and bar
rel hook, bob and sinker; Presidency,
Senate and House.
4, That everybody wonders what
they will do with it.
5. That Mr.. Hewitt took it out OF "
Mr.. Cleveland to the amount of just
about two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and is glad OF it.
6. That the Herald still believes, as
it said last November, "that the pro-
tectective system has as yet the sup
port Of the majority OF the American
people" and =
Z. That the Presidential year is not
good time to begin the debate on

8. That the protectionists can't
stand another like it.
10. That the Star Eyed Goddess is

| IA. That General Benjamin Harri
son is not General Garfield, and there
fore will not ask Mr.. Blaine to take 9
place in his Cabinet.
| Is. That the democratic misman
ayers delighted their opponents wher
they undertook the stale game of haz
arding the whole campaign on New
York.
: Is. That the next time the demo
, Gratis will know better or they'll ge
, beaten again.
II. That the country is so closel,
, divided that both parties must pu
forward their best men and measures
Is. That the republicans hav
drawn an elephat, with whole mon
agerie annexed.
10. That there will be a great dea
= OF fun in the next four years

u dear to our hearts as ever.
T. q. That when a nation of sixty-fv
