Advice Given by Bob Burdette Four Years
Ago, but Which Is Still Good.

Ny son. you will cast your FIRST vote for Presi-
dent next November. / don't want to influence
your vote. don't want you to vote for a man
Just because certain other men do. l want you
TO sit down and think about il before you vote.
/ want you to be able to give a reason for your
vote. i want you to 60 to the polls in good CON-
pany. AS a young man of progressive ideas, l
want you to be abreast OF the world aud shoulder
70 shoulder with the times when you walk I'D
the polls. i want you, on entering politics, TO
align with the party which has the Durest.
most progressive record. Idont care a cent.
my boy, whether you are a Republican or O
Democrat. There are honest men. patriotic cit
liens, good Christians, in both parties. Only !
don't want to see You walk MP to the polls and
cast yourfrst vote with the party
That upheld slavery as q divine institution:
That bought and sold men, women and babies
That fred on Fort Sumter and the American
flag;
That for nearly five years fought to destroy
the Union;
That opposed the issue of greenbacks when
the government was fairly perishing for the want
of them;
That organized mobs and riots to oppose the
draft;
That swspt American commerce from the seas
Tha, is the party Of Boss Tweed and jefferson
Davis;
That polls the heaviest msjorities in the most
vicious and ignorant precincts;
That is strongest IN the States where the
percent &c OF iihteracy is the strongest;
That has opposed every liberal and progressive
measure to legislation during the last quarter OF
@ century;
That was the defender of slavery:
That was the defender of Mormonism;
That slandered Garfield; and
That assassipated Lincoln.
Now, as [ have said before. my son. / don't
care whether you ares Republican or Democrat.
ChoGse for yourself. Just keep away from the
crowd whose record l have briefly outlined.
Find the party ~ whom the record belongs and
then forever keep away from il. You need not
be particular with which party you unite. II you
don't join that one. Always vote about right
/ AIN a Republican. but 1 will shake hands with
any Democrat who votes against that record.
That kind Of q Democrat is always q good
enough Republican for me.
p. ST. have never found that kind Of q Dem
ocrat. Robert j. BURDETTE.

journment on Saturday Next.

Mr.. Cockrsll. Its chairman, stating thSt this
would Involve no expense. The House bill,
granting 10 the Aberdeen. Bismarck & North

of the Sioux reservation in Dakota Territory
was then passed.
Mr.. George said he had given notice that he
would call up the House bill for
printing govsrnEent securities in
The highest style of art, dispensing
with steam presses. and ask to have it passed.
de had however, had . conference this morn
Ing with the legislative committee of the
knights OF Labor, who were pressing the bill,
and the result OF that conference was that.
owing to the thinness Of the Senate, and to the
fact that further testimony was desired by op-
ponents of the bill, he would not make the mo-
tion OF which be had gwen notice. MI. George
also asked and obtained leave OF absence for the
remainder of the session after tomorrow. Mr.
hampton suggesting, in an undertone. tina. rha
same request should be made for all the Sena-
tors.
The Senate then. at 1890. resumed considera.
tion Of the tariff bill, and was addressed by Mr..
Teller.
At the close Of Mr.. Teller's speech Mr.. Allison
offered q concurrent resolution for a recess OF
Congress from Saturday next till the 10Th of
November.
Dir. Cockrell opposed the idea Of q recess and
suggested that il would be much better to pro-
vide for dnal adjournment, with the understand
ing that there would DO no Christmas holidays
and that the tariff bill would then be pressed to
final action.
After some further discussion, Mr.. Morgan
objected TO consideration of the resolution TO-
day, and, therefore. It went over till tomorrow.
Mr. Morgan proceeded to address tho Senate
on tbs tariff oil. He referred to NJ. Allison's
recess adjournment as q piece Of fnessee to COW
or the death OF the bill. II Republican Senators
had any faith 10 It's passage. they ought to show
that faith BY their works, attend tho sessions
and vote on the ball. But the chamber had been
