LET the Democrats begin the work
OF organizing. Let there be a club
at every precinct.

sively TO the constitution.
IT is among the probabilities that
the Standard Oil Company will dis

WHO will the silver men blame
when they make the sad discovery

CONGRESS is devotipg a great deal
OF time just now to discussion oft
tariff question 1t is sad 10 think
that all this eloquence can result In
no practical good.
THE thoughtful words OF Mr.. Bay

solid for the presidential nomination.
He has been treated very cleverly
wherever he has stopped. but that's
not giving him delegations to the
convention.

private claim bills at the rate Of one
every two minutes When il comes
to spending the peoples money the
Senate has no rival-unless we except
General Bussey, the open-handed per

1T was said when he was appointed
that Mr.. Elkins was TO be Secretary
OF War for awhile, use lis influence a
few months in Repnhlicanizing West

licans spent the greater part of last
