General A. J. Sampson, OF Colorado, asked his
hearers not to cease firing at tie record OF the
Democratic party; not the record from 1861 to
1865. He was willing to cover that up with the
mantle Of charity and put upon guard the white
winged dove OF peace. He paid his respects to
congress which had been afraid to repeal the
Mckinley bill 1t had denounced: had been
afraid to pass the tree silver bill by which 1t had
obtained its majority; it had denounced the
Republican administration as extravagant. and
itself already appropriated s507. 100000 or s47-
100000 more than the Repu blicans in their frs
session. In lively and interesting strain the
speaker contrasted Republican and Democratic
promises and performances; and in response to
the demand OF his audience to continue told a
number OF humorous anecdotes which kept
them in q constant roar Of laughter.
