proud OF the great commonwealth OF

that multitude They know what they
are about. They may be slow but they
are sure. We fan back on them as the
tired man throws himself on his
couch. The republican party may plot
and conspire. It may rave and rage,
steal. cheat and lie. The democratic
party IN its turn may become corrupt
and venal. The people can get along
with either party. They are their own
masters and masters of the government.
So long as their heads are clear we are
safe. and at the present moment. with
