SALT RIVER CRY, Up, Dec. 5.-ISpecial
to the EnTERPRIsE.] We Democrats and
the two aid societies now up Salt river
have views on the senatorial question.
We are practically solid for Foraker. We
love him for the enemies he has made--in
his party. We want him al the head OF
the Republican party in Ohio. Twice no
he has sent the entire Buckeye Republi-
can outfit up Salt r.ver, and you remem-
her the last time you had 10 surrender
your saber and shoulder straps 70 Dem,
0crat. We Democrats got possesslon OF
things and enjoyed the usufruct oi ONCE
during the leadershiD OF Foraker lust an
even half OF the time. Even our own
"Docn Got 10 be a trustee OF the blind asy-
lnm and a director " the worlds fair'
But there is another reason tor our Hl
John unity. During Foraker's qnadiupie
candidacy for governor we nave lw'ce
gobled up the United States senatolsnip
and been able to gerrymander the slate
twice tor congressional purposes: NOW,
,bis has all happened during the kepuoll-
can Ieaiership Of J. B. f. We are up
Salt river now, thanks, or rather no thanks

We don't like John Sherman. we cant

we can lick again. Foraker Is our ,nan,
