WHEEL about and turn about and
do JUS so; that's the way they do in
the democratic show, when the free
trade ballots are running mighty low,
and voters are scarce where voters
ought to grow, they whoop up protec-
ton as the only go, and never think Of
gagging at their dish of crow. At
least that is the way they do in Michi-
gan. Two years ago the democrats
nominated free trader for governor
and he was whipped out of his boots;
this year they nominate big lumber
protectionist and hope to ride into
power on a protection steed with their
faces to the crupper. Free salt and
free lumber are not the ticket to win

A DEMOCRATIC exchange, with
more candor then common sense, ex-
claims:
SIN telling of the military achieve
ments of the relatives of Ben Harri-
son, the republican papers have
forgotten to mention the services of
Colonel John s. Mosby, cousin of their
candidate"
Why should the republicanjournals
mention it? Guerrilla Mosby was a
democrat and the republicans have
not been driven to Iauding tfa:tors.
The Harrison family, like many
others, has had its black sheep. Do
the democracy intend to damn Union
General Ben Harrison for the trait
orous deeds of his rebel cousin?

THE democracy is not pleased with
the third party conventions, and
when it comes to a fourth and fifth
party the agony becomes excruciating.
The Waco Day is no exception to the
rule. The protection plank in the
platforms of these parties are full of
splinters to make sore the feet of a
weary legged democracy. Concerning
the recent gathering at Fort Worth
the Waco Day discourseth as follows:
"The so-called non-partisan conven-
ton Just held at Fort Worth can de-
ceive nobody by its name. 1t is parti-
san to the core, and is animated
especially by hostility to the demo-
cracy, being composed of elements
which have fought it under other
guises for quarter of a century or
more. When the union labor folks
meet this week, and form their con-
templated fusion with the Evan Jones'
Broiles ticket, we shall simply be con-
fronted by the old greenback party,
reinforced by few odds and ends of
la5er disgruntled elements, and the
p. etence of non-partisanship or labor
sympathy will not hide the real pres
ence."
The democracy all over this broad
land are lifting their voices to the blue
empyrean, and with their harps
dangling disconsolately from the will
lows are mourning sore as doves, and
this is the dolorous drone that is
borne upon the breeze. These fellows
not being with us are against us, and
gathering not with us they scatter
our votes abroad.

THE Times declared Harrison a

no chance of his nomination. Now,
that it is scared out of years growth

it speaks of the "gallows of his ances-

that:
