Eli Perkins Flops.


At recent Republican meeting Eli
Perkins read the following letter:
Thomas II. Carter, Chairman Republican Com
mittee:
Dear Sir: Below 1 give the reasons
why Wayne McVeagh, Judge Gresham,
Governor J. D. Cox and l desert Harri-
son and protection and came out for no.
bic Grover Cleveland and free trade:
We are against Harrison because he is
an honest Christian; because he is for
temperance, and for twenty years has
been a Christian vestryman, and twice
day bows down in family prayer.
We are against Harrison because he
drew his sword for the Republic in '6l,
while noble Grover Cleveland bravely
staid at home and hired substitute,
and paid him with the money earned by
hanging criminals.
We are down on Harrison because he
did not desert the nation, as did the
noble Democratic party, with secession
in the Senate. theft in the War Depart
ment, bankruptcy in the Treasury, and
treason in the field.
We are a Democrat
We are against Harrison and the Re-
publican party because they freed four
million slaves in 63; because they made
them citizens and gave them the right
to vote for the nation for which they
fought, and because if these infamous
Republicans were once in power they'd
|
and stop noble Democrat from holding
by fraud the Presidential office.
We are Democrat.
We are opposed to Harrison and pro-
lection because the English aristocracy
hate them worse than they hate an Irish
patriot, and because if Harrison remains
President he will watch the tariff and
see that it protects our workman.
| We are a Democrat.
We are down on the Republican party
for saving the Republic when seventeen
Democratic States trod down our flag;
down on the Republican party for
slaughtering 100000 free trade rebel
Democrats, and down on Lincoln, Giant
and Garfield yes, and Logan, Hale,
COnkling making England give up
Mason and Slidell, spit on that rebel
flag, and reverenuy cheer the stars and
stripes.
We are Democrat.
We are down on Harrison because he
killed Mills English tariff bill for low
ering the wages of our Northerd work
men; down on him because he says he'll
keep the Chinese out, and hold back ig
norant paupers coming in to GUST our
high priced workman of the North.
We are down on Harrison because he
will keep such Copperheads as Thurman,
Ad Stevenson and Daniel VOORHEES, out;
because we love those Democrats who.
when we were soldering, cursed old
Abe Lincoln and stabbed us in the back.
We are Democrat.
We are for Cleveland and free trade
because all our -secessionises are for
them; because with free trade our mills
will stop and starving European work
men make again our silk and tin, un-
less our Yankee workmen work, like
them, for pauper pay.
We are for Cleveland because he kick

Fun With the Wildcats.

There is not much funin this canvass,
but what there is the Democrats are fur
nishing in their defense of the wildcat
bank scheme. To the faithful who had
come out of the woods around Morgan
town to hear him Congressman Wilson
said:
The State bank issues are a kind of
currency that will stay by you. You
will not wake up in the morning and
find the money you had the night before
has all gone to New York. You know
the present currency is good anywhere.
and has tendency to seek the great
money centers. but this State bank mon
ey will be like the chickens, always
come home to roOst.
According to the proverb, this latter
is a virtue that curses have also.
More amusing than Mr.. Wilson is Mr..
Fairchild, who succeeded Manning as
Secretary of the Treasury. He says:
The 10 per cent. tax was not imposed
because the Republicans may now, for
party purposes, misrepresent the truth.
but, on the contrary. because it was so
good that unless it was driven out Of
existence by such tax the legal tender
money of the Government could not be
made to compete with the State bank
notes.
He is uproariously funny when he as
serts that the demand for the repeal Of
the tax came from the people most
strongly sin favor of a conservative
currency, and most opposed to free sill
yer, fiat money, and all other vagaries
which have threatened the country" "
Without intending to raise guffaw, he
adds:
This ought not to be question of
partisan discussion, and would not be
except for the extraordinary reckless
ness which leading Republicans exhibit
in this canvass, both in the statement OF
facts and the propounding of theories.
The fun will not end with this, for
Mr.. Fairchild says he "may have occa-
sion before election day to say some
thing more on the subject"

like 10 know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other, We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as soon as a cold has
been contracted, and before it has be-
come settled in the system, it will coun-
teract the effect of the cold and greatly
lessen it's severity, if not effectually cure
the cold in two days time, and is the on
ly remedy that will do this. 1t acts in
perfect harmony with nature and aids
nature in relieving the lnngs, opening
the secretions, liquefying the mucus and
causing its expulsion from the air cell of
the lungs and restoring the system to
strong and healthy condition. No other
remedy in the market possesses these re-
markable properties. No other will cure
a cold so quickly or leave the system in
as sound condition. For sale by Pat

THE Hon. Wayne McVeagh has ex-
planned at great length why he is a
Democrat. The substance of his con-

he has ceased to be Republican, and
that he ceased to be Republican be-
cause the Republican party had the in
science to regard itself as greater than
Wayne McVeagh.
