Mr.. Brice,s Little Song.

4
How dear to my heart is the vote of Old
Texas, Old Texas that nothing can swerve
from our side, Old Texas that's solid and
sure for the party Though the party enemy
come like a fast flowing tide; Old Texas where
shot guns discuss public question: And where
the six shooter speaks up sharp and quick,
Where they monuments raise to the late Col
Bowie, and voting is apt to make niggers
quite sick! The old solid Texas, that certain
Texas, that moss covered Texas where Bour-
bons are thick!
New York and New Jersey they re gonefrom
us surely, And SO has Connecticut faded
away; Indiana for us is a snare ana delusion,
And the rest of the north, it was always as
tray; But there's Texas, old Texas, down
there in the corner, And with heart overflow
ing to thee will sing AS ponder and fancy
with fond recollection, And think in November
what comfort you'll bring! That solid old
Texas, that moss grown old Texas, that dead
sure old Texas, Democracy's king-New
York Tribune.

vised. They will wait until the campaign is
nearly over, SO late that they can hope that
their despicable plans cannot be exposed, and
then will rely upon foul means to secure what
they cannot hope to get by fair ones. 1t is in
timated that forgeries will be put forth be-
side which the Morey letter forgery of 1880
will seem a trivial affair 1t should not be
forgotten that the chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee is the same man
who, as chairman in 1880, boldly
proposed to buy the electoral vote of Greg on.
1t should not be forgotten that the author
OF the Morey letter was a Democrat, hired
by Democratic money. 1T should not be for
gotten that the Democratic is the only party
that ever has attempted to carry elections
by fraud and violence and then boosted of
the TACT. 1t should not be forgotten that
having had a taste of the delights of power,
the Democrats are more fierce for it's
continuance tnan they were for it's possess
sion four years ago. And remembering these
things, it behooYes all good citizens to be ON
their guard from now till election against
any desperate measures which the Dem ocrats
may undertake. Republican speakers and
Republican papers should warn their nearer
and readers to be prepared for food of
Democratic forgeries and falsehoods in the
closing week of the campaign. The fact that
Democratic sensations and pretended dis
coveries are held back till then, should be in
itself evidence of their falseness The people
know by this time the issue between the par
ties. Any attempt to spring startling sensa-
lions of a personal nature near the close of
the campaign should be promptly denounced
as forgeries and falsehoods. Such roor-
hacks we have reason to believe are being
held back for that purpose. Let the people
therefore be on their guard. If prepared for
such displays ofDemocratic desperation, they
will not be deceived. The prospects are very
bright for Republican success. Let
every Republican speaker warn the peo-
pie against the desperate schemes of the OPP
position, and by being forewarned they will be
forearmed.-IoWa State Register.

Workingmen, Attention!

The father of the Mills free trade bill, R. @.
Mills of Texas, in a speech at East st. Louis
Ill.,, September 25th said:
When we will put our own intelligent and
skillful and productive la Dor in this country
upon plane of equality with the laborers
OF all other cou ntrieS."
This is the ultimate aim and purpose of
the present free trade crusade.
1t means putting our steel-workers on an
equality with the 6O-cent a day steel-Work-
ers of Belgium.
1t means putting our millers on an equal
ty with the 47-cent day millers of the great
four-producing centre of Europe, Buda-
Pesth.
1t means putting our papermakers on an
equality with the so to 55-cent a day paper
makers of Belgium, Norway and Sweden, who
now send large quantities of paper to this
country annually, notwithstanding the pro-
tective tariff
mills upon an equality with those of Alsace-
Lorraine, who ork from twelve to fourteen
hours a day for 81 cents on the average;
with those of England who receive q cents a
day, and of Italy who receive rs cents a day.
1t means putting our wooden mill opera
tives on q level with the S1-cent wooden
workers of England.
1t means putting our fax, linen and hemp
workers on an equality with the 5O-cent a
day operatives in these industries in Eng
land.
1t means putting our boot and shoemakers
on an equality with those of England, who
earn 81 cents day, and of continental Eu-
rope, who earn from SO to 80 cents day.
1t means putting our masons and carpen-
tiers on level with the 81. 10 labor of these
trades in England, and so to 70-cent day
wages of Europe.
1t means placing our machine blacksmiths
on a level with those of Scotland, who earn q
$1.OS a day.
1t means placing our frst-class machinists
on a level with those of Scotland, who earn
$1.20 a day, and of continental Europe, who
earn "a cents a day.
1t means that our printers shall work for
80 cents day as in England.
1t means that laborers about ourfactories,
shops and public works shall toll day in and
day, and on the Continent for % to 50cents
day il
It means that our rolling-mil1 men shall
work for cents day and our iron moulders
for SO cents as they do in Europe.
1t means that our wives and children shall
go into the shop, the factory and the field
and work with the men from early morn till
late at night, as they do in every country OF
Europe.
1t means that our wa ge-earners shall dwell
in novels and crowded tenements andlive on
soup and black bread and scarcely ever taste
meat, as they do in Europe.
Workingmen, this is what r. g. Mills, the
democratic free traders will do for you if they
can carry the next election and inaugurate
Clevelund's tariff policy How do you like
the prospects ?-Bufalo Commercial Adver

Democracy's Last Resort.

The information is sent OUT on reliable au-
thority that the Democrats are preparing to
resort during the closing week of the cam
paign to methods of falsehood, fraud and for
gerry in the most unblushing and unscrupu-
lous manner. The information comes from
reliable Democratic sources, and can be de
pended upon as true, so far as Democratic
inventions go. The tide of political drift
has been steadily away from the Democratic
party. Each week of the campaign has wit
messed new aecessions to the Republican
ranks, and corresponding gloom and de-
preston at Democratic headquarters. Grown
desperate by the prospect of defeat, the DEM
ocratic managers nre preparing to employ
the most infamous methods that can be de-

Ten Reasons Why am Republican.
]. ELLEN FOSTER.

I am Republican by hereditary influence,
past environments, and present convictions
Because
First-The Republican party in the past
has stood for all that is liberal and progress
sive in legislation.
Second-The Republican party freed the
slave
Third-The pronounced and emphatic leg
lsatlOn on moral questions has come most
largely from Republican legislators.
Fourth-The Republican party has always
been the champion of ton
OF the citizen, protection to the negro, pro-
lection to the ballotrbox, protection to the
wage Garner protection to the wage payer,
and now, right in line with it's past profess
sions and performances, it declares protec-
ton to the home
Fifth-The friends of the liquor interest in
the ranks of the Republican party are few
and far between
Slxth-The Republican party has stood
for the most advanced temperan nee leeisla-
ton which the people demanded, and in very
many States has made open declarations Of
enmity against the saloon.
Seventh-The Republican party deals with
conditions OF the temperance work, not theo-
ries. The ideal is not always attainable; it
is better that the majority of the great,
struggling, grooming mass should gain one
inch OF altitude than that a few should, by
separating themselves into a :'holier-than-
thou" party, attain supernal heights.
Eighth-The Republican party, by reason
OF its powerful position in this country, is
able to consistently promise the redemption
OF its pledges, while the so-called Prohibition
party, even if the the sincerity of its pledges
be admitted cannot,for many years at least,
fulfill any one of them
Ninth-The best types of American man
hood are represented in the persons of Ben
jamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton.
Tenth-The record of the Republican par
ty proves it to be made up of men out of
whose brain and heart reforms have come in
the past and are likely to come in the future

Cleveland Has Not Personal Friend.

Mr.. Cleveland lives in the peculiar situation
of not having in all this broad land one sin
gle devoted, earnest, cordial, personal friend.
There is not one man who can truly and COM
prehensively say that he likes Mr.. Cleveland.
Such is the effect of the presidents personal
character and manners upon those who
come in contact with him; and those who
come into the closest contact are those who
like him least.-New York Sun.

The Fact That Knocks them Out.

The cry of the free traders is that every
thing is cheaper in free-trade England than
here, and that the same policy would make
clothing and manufactured articles cheaper
for our workingmen. Why, then, have 1885,

this country since last New Years day? II

Where the German Vote VIII Go.

The superstition that most OF the citizens
who have been naturalized since the, last
sbresidential election will vote for Harrison
sSand Morton and the protection of home in
dustry is perfectly correct. These people APP
preciate the benefit which they and the whole
country owe to protective tariff Their ex-
perience and comparison with their position
in the old and new fatherland will teach
them that to vote with the Democrats and
free trade would be the lowering of their own
wages. Cincinnati Freie Presse Germany.

Gratis in congress are honestly anxious to
make food cheaper, why do they not accept
the republican proposition to reduce the
sugar duties to the amount of $2S, OO0,-

family in the country, and at the same time
the surplus would be lessened without doing

WEAK AND STRONG.

The withdrawal of Blaine must be
understood as an absolute withdrawal
and the strength of the party is shown
by the number of candidates who are
contending FOL the place Of first choice.
Blaine would nc doubt have been ths
strong man in the convention but he
would have been weak candidate, 49,
George W. Childs would be the
strongest man the convention eonld
Nominate, but he has so positively
stated that he is not candidate as to
remove him from the list of. possible
candidates. On the Pacific Coast there
are indications of a movement IN
favor of Senator Stanford This gen.
tleman would doubtless be strong in
the convention but before the people
he would be weak. Much of the talk
against him is the flummery of Anti.
railroad frauds who live by their oppo-
sition to people who are successful.
Personally he is probably one of the
best OF the men who have made large
fortunes in this country, but his con.
nection with the Central Pacific would
almost certainly prevent his election.
Senator ingalls,, as yet one Of the
apparently weak men, will not perhaps
be first choice of the convection but,
should it so happen that he is nomina
ted his weakness in the party will be
amply compensated by strength before
the Country that will make his nomin-
alton credit to the judgment Of the
delegates.
