mouths. It very apparent to my mind
that David B. HiIl and the split In the New

were snapped to quite an extent, lost us the
electoral vote of the empire state, 1t is

portion of our history, wrong has triumph

played well their part. Is the result enough
to dishearten us or cause MS to lose faith in
thegrand old party No. We are as firm
aseverour allegiance greater, for we know,
full well, Grover Cleveland sacrificed a
certainty of reelection for principle, which
the democratic party has urged as neces-
sary requisite TO our country's prosperity.
The great masses of the people arc not
properly educated as regards the tariff rs
viewed by democrats, and we must do our
duty from now on towards enlightening

honestly believed that when Indiana's old
war Governor, Oliver P. Morton, left this
mundane sphere to accept position under

campaign of Illinois delighted to parade
his silly ideas Of 'rebel lead, /" and stranger
still, this idiot found many who swore by
him and by his persistent lying about negro
killing and the like, won seat which his
very presence will disgrace. The old bat
tie grounds have shifted. Many other
states have shown themselves by their pop

in ISo2. The North says to the South,you
must give up your solidity, the South replies
like terms. There would be no solid
South, solid North, solid East or solid West
If these "blamed" fools would cease their
war cries. These blatant towards mount q
