You hear all this grumbling about

Three Prayers.

\ Republican,, Democrat and Prohi-
bitioniSt went up i'll the temple to
pray.
The Republican stood, and with his
face toward Heaven, prayed: 80
Lord, we thank thee that we are not
like other men. We thank thee first
of all for the pure, incOrruptible holy
Republican party. We thank thee
that Democrats are liars, all PrOhibi-
tionists are fools, and that we alone
are good, We have no special favor
to ask, knowing that to be consistent,
thou must of necessity be with u.s."
The Democrat prayed thus: 80
Lord, thou knOwest that we do not
often bother thee with our prayers
Yet there are few things wherein
thou canst be of great use to us.
Bless Cleveland, o Lord, but curse
his civil service. Bless the Prohib-
Zionist in the North, but dam him in
the South. Bless Minnesota and that
little Norwegian, Mute Nelson, but
curse Pennsylvania and that traitor,
Sam Randall
The ProhibitioniSt fell on his knees,
as usual, and prayed: so Lord, thou
knowest that have we done little else
but pray, 10, these many years. Now
we are going to fight, and do thou, O
Lord, be pleased to stand by and see
fair play, while we show the Phari-
sees and Saduces that there is God
i'll Israel. = Vernon Guard.

ESTIMATES.

The Republican newspapers are
making ingenious combinations of
electoral votes designed to show " hat
excellent prospects their party has for
elccting IL president this year. They
take as a starting point the IS States
carried by Blaine in 1854, with Il total
of lN2 electoral votes. These they call,
with fairly good reason, ''surc Rcpub-
lean States" The only one in the
list concerning which there is much
doubt is California. There are 4ol
votes in the Electoral College. and POI
are necessary to elect. 70 the Isl the
Republicans bave only to add the 50
votes of New York State to elect their
candidate and have II votes to spare.
They are not inclined. however, to
count confidently upon New York, but
hav" more faith in three other COM
