heart in America bounded with Joy as
the gladstone news thrilled along the
wires that the banner of Republican pro-
lection huttered high in pride OF place,
glorious and triumphant. Along with
this cheering news came the pleasing
intelligence of gains in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Iowa. This was preceded

better, purer, or more intensely American
administration dire cted our country's
doctrines than that of Benjamin lIarri-
son. The republic enjoys prosperity IN
paralleled, peace, plenty and happiness

among rapacious set OF cormorants.
Our schools were closed, our roads and
bridges neglected, our bonds deprecated
