owe want work. We can't stand
starvation. Do something for u.s.
This was the cry back in 1857. II
was likewise the cry in New York
on Wednesday Of last week. Oh
we are back to the good old Demo-
cratic days, when soup houses were
established in every town and city,
and skilled mechanics were glad to
get any kind of work at any wages.
The scene in New York on Wednes-
day was an object lesson that could
only spring from Democratic suo-
cess. 1t was pitiful in the extreme
that men should cry for work and
bread in the largest city in the coun.
try at this close of the nineteenth
century. More shame to the men
and the party through whose falsity
this misery fell upon Americans.

The time set to accomplish the

time he made in any single day was
fortytwo miles, which he did coming
through Ohio. He expended $40
for food and lodging, He was
taken in charge by Secretary Ger
