pencil, and made the letter look like the
Democratic platform. Well, it's Of no
use to laugh at the platform of our OPP
ponents, because they know not what
they do, and wo will not tell them until
after November. It has been nearly
year since I wrote letter telling of tho
Democratic party of this city, and I re-

good Republican as anybody. Well,
/ am afraid that he wants to be on both
sides Of the fence, tor / noticed him
vending his way toward the bald.head
row at q Democratic meeting. There
were Republics as among the number in
attendance, but failed to notice them
applaud the speaker as did this gentle
man who tried to make the people OF
Old Highland believe he was just as
loyal as ever to the "only party"
/ once heard little story that ran
thusly: A little girl asked her mama If
God followed her everywhere. eyes,
my child, he follows you everywhere"
answered her mother. Now this little
girl had kitten that followed her
around, TO which she had no objections,
but when her father brought home lit
tic pup and the pup began following
her, she turned around and said to it:
"Pup, you just go back home it's
enough to have God and Kittie tagging
after me- without you tagging along"
And us Republicans out here feel like
saying, God, it's all right to have you
and the Rpublican party with us, but
send Grover Cleveland's party home.
There have been many bets wagered
on the coming election, and think Ohio
will certainly show the Democrats that
she isn't yet ready to part with the flags.
Gov. Foraker's name is heard on every
corner in this city, and Capt. Canon, of
the Kansas City Flambeau Club, who,
with the club, attended the convention
at Chicago, said the Republican party
needed only few such men as Foraker
to wipe out the Democratic party. We
had party vote at the store last Tues
day, which resulted as follows: Harri.

we are gaining in this confederate State
At the Democratic meeting the other
evening, Mr.. Glorer, a learned man, ad-
dressed the meeting and he spoke many
pretty compliments OF Allen G. Thur.

asked what the sc" stood for, and ht
said, "My friend, you've got me now;
never knew myself" And this Mr.
Glorer seeks the nomination for Gov
ernor of Missouri. Well, I'll let politics
rest for awhile, and tell you We are go

United States finished this year, more
miles OF cable line and the best elevated
railroad, so when you visit here you car

OF course we have a murder occasional

the East tell their western friends wha
