At Il recent prayer meeting ID New !
Jersey, Il Republican brother prayed |
party to hang together, whcrcupon a /
Democrat present shouted: Amen, |
amen" This led the Republican broth
er to make the following emcndatou in |
his prayer: Not, . Lord, in the sense
that our Democratic brother means, but
in the spirit OF accord and concord.r
" Any cord will do, Lord any cord will |
do interjected the Democrat. The
pastor Immediately made Il rule that
hereafter politics shonld be kept out of
the prayer meeting.
n. o. States: The Democrats will
have an ample majority in the Senate
of the next Congress. The bills admit
ting the Democratic territories Arizona,
New Mexico and Utah to statehood
which have already been sem to the
Senate by almost an unanimous vote,
will be promptly passed, and this will
give the Democrats six new Senators.
and with the four they get from New
York, Wisconsin, Montana and Nevada,
the Democratic working majority will
not be less than ten. Senator sherman
was right when he said that if the Dem
0crats elected Cleveland they would win
everything, and we do not violate any
confidence when VIC say that it is their
intention to hold on to what they have
won,
