A DEMOCRATS INSULT.
Judge Baldwin, Democrat for twenty
Years, Uses Brutal Language
at a Democratic Meeting in
Milwaukee.

America is filling up with lousy
Italians and lousier Poles; we don't
want Italians; we don't want Poles.
If we are to have immigration, we
want Germans, and not the off
scourings of Russia and the dregs
of Italy.-Judge T. G. Baldwin,
Democratic orator, at the Standard
Theater, Milwaukee, Oct, "a.
For man of destiny Mr.. Cleve-
land wobbles suspiciously like to
the ordinary office-seeker.
The proud mugwumps will soon
be able to plume themselves with
crow feathers, if Mr.. Cleveland's
appetite does not fail him.
Mr.. Grover Cleveland, the
worshipped idol of the mugwump
anti-snappers has become the
mere snapper to Tammany's whip.
While it appears that there is
room for both Cleveland and Hill
in the same political bed, the
indications are that Mr.. Cleveland
will not be allowed to sleep much.
Wherever you find an ex-post-
master or other federal official
from the time Of Mr.. Cleveland's
exodus from the White House,
there you may also find a doubt
full state, of mind if nothing else.
About all that is left of the
democratic platform of principles
which the Wisconsin democrats
seem to be willing to stand upon
and defend in this state, is George
Hiles' resolution to bet $4,000 on
Cleveland's election.
1t is proper to sincerely hope
that a becoming consideration OF
the feelings of the mugwumps will
restrain Tammanv directors from
compelling Mr.. Cleveland to ap-
pear at the Bowery theatre and to
solemnly sing: "Ta ra ra Boom
de ay!'
Senator Hill is not the first
David to bring a vain Goliath to
his knees by shying stones at him.
The mugwumps should turn their
free trade addresses to the Bible il
they want to be up with the times
and Tammany in Democratic
reform
So long as the republican state
central committee refrains from
putting any dramatic companies
on the road to reproduce Peck S
Bad Boy, no one can reasonably
accuse the members of failing to
keep to their methods of clean
campaign.
No doubt the south could afford
it under democratic government,
with a wildcat state bank system;
but the farmers Of Wisconsin are
not to be captivated this year
with proposition to trade their
grain for confederate state scrip,
even bushel for buShel
The democratic bosses in this
state appear to be exerting their
much Wanted Campaign of edu-
cation chiefly tor the benefit OF
the teachers in the Lutheran paro-
chial schools. The plan is more
worthy Of the prcsuntion Of the
bosses than complimentary to the
lutherans.
-Four years ago, his admirers
say, Mr.. Cleveland sacrificed
success for principle. No such
other unselhsh devotion to a sense
of duty has been known in party
history since the author of Peck's
Bad Boy" and VIM. F. Villas
inundated themselves upon the
altar of religious liberty i'll Wis
consin.
The democratic policy in this
state seems to be to save the
interest on the money in the state
treasury, and spend the principal
upon extra sessions of the legis-
,ature to gerrymander the state SO

,Ority of the legislature with Only
