that we should make a desperate

Ii anything were needed to show that the
Lord Sackville letter had thrown the Democ.
racy into panic the various devices to ex.
plain 1t away would fully supply it, These
devices are all exceedingly puerile and only
show that the Democratic intellect for the
time being has lost its balance. 1t has sud
been found out for instance, that the rela-
tions between Mr.. Bayard and Lord Sack
vile have been "cold and formal for some

Cleveland; and that his letter was really
written for the purpose of embarrassing the
administration. When our esteemed Demo-

Of course no one ever doubts tie Demo-

party is the party of the poor man, fore-or-
dained from the beginning of its existence to
an unceasing conflict with wealth and corpo-
rate influence and monopolies. There are SO
many facts to prove their assertion that no
one can very well doubt it. For instance. in
that great procession which Mr.. Cleveland
reviewed in New York there were in the
ranks such eminent sons of poverty and enc
mics of corporate wealth and MONOPOLY as

No doubt the Democrats will not hesitate
to resort to fraud to swell their vote in New
York city. If that becomes necessary, and
there is nothing very improbable in the story
told by the Tribune that they have arranged
to get early reports of the Republican major
ity above Harlem bridge so as to know how
much they have got to overcome with view
OF supplying deficiencies in the New York
city vote by false counting. 1t is matter of
history and is acknowledged now by the
Democrats themselves, that this game was
once played by them and played successfully.

in my practice"
DIR. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass,

contain the active principles of we'll

ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
