People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1893-01-27

some questions ana nad got USED up.
Oates was trying to get in with
some. Then Mallory, of Florida,
obtained the floor and made good
argument. Then Oates. Then
Amendments to the Bill began to
pile in. Great disorder existed.
Difficult to hear anything but the
Chairman's gavel rapping for quiet
The Clerk began to read. Nobody
could tell heads or tails of anything.
Then Mallory jumped up and sang
out, "Mr. Chairman, what are we
doing"
The Committee of the whole rears
back for a laugh; and the floor and
the galleries all join in, uproariously,
when a clear voice sends careering
over the chamber this conundrum,
Where are zoe at?"
Men laughed till the tears fell out
of their eyes, and Mr.. Cobb of Ala
bama was the only man who didn't
enjoy it.
TO CONVERT US.
An American Consul, sent to the
East to look after mercantile affairs,
has become Convert to. Mohamme-
danism. Not only Convert, but a
jealous one. He is to take charge of
Mission in New York. Funds
have been raised in the East for the
work, and a complete organization
has been perfected. The Missionary
spirit among the Mohammedans
seems to be strong, They appreciate
our benighted condition and are sorry
for us. They are going to do their
best to bring us to the true faith of
Islam.
Let them by all means start on
Tammany. If they can do anything
with that gang, their claims to have
doctrine which will regenerate Us,
deserve due consideration.
In the meantime, it seems to be
just little bit funny to think of
ship load of preachers going from
America to the East to convert
heather and crossing, in passage, a
ship load of preachers from the East
on their way here to convert heather
in America. The situation is IN dan
ger of becoming tangled. But turn
about is fair play, reckon.
ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE
PEOPLE
Passed the House without division.
Almost without debate. It will
never be heard of in the Senate.
The Democratic Senators over there
will treat it just as they treated the
Free Trade Bills which Mr.. Moses
and so many others said were to save
the Taxpayers $158,0O0,OOO. They
will allow it to sleep in Committee
Room without the slightest effort to
bring it to vote. Then they will
go home and accuse the Republicans,
| as usual.
When have the Democratic Sena-
tors made any attempt whatever to
call up the Free Wool Bill? Or the
Free Cotton Tie Bill? Or the Free
Binding Irvine Bill? Or the Tin
Plate Bill?
Don't all answer at once
DEAR OCALA DEMOCRAT,
Dids't thou note how the Democrats
of the Kansas Legislature went over
to the Republicans? Dids't thou see
how clearly it proved that thy fears
were we'll founded when The Bosses
made thee believe the Peoples party
was merely trick of the RepubIi-
cans to break up the grand old Dem
ocratic Party?
Dids't thou see, gentle Shepherd,
that the only thing which saved the
Republican party from everlasting
smash was the timely aid of these
good old Mossback Democratic men,
bers?
Did't thou ever behold a trick of
the Republicans work SO well as
this? A trick, mind thee, which
started out to "break up the Demo-
crats'' and which worked on such a
new, improved, self-action, reversi-
BILE and stem-winder plan that the
Democrats had to rush to the sup
port of the failing Republicans?
Dear Ocala Democrat, we all love
thee for thy lanb-like and innocuous
desuetude. There IS about thy guile
less and prattling innocence, pecu-
liar flavor of the fresh, fresh SPRING
