that without q Grover Cleveland. ID. y.

The county candidates came in for their

channels Of the country. he predicted that
President Cleveland would prove the
Moses who would lead us to better times.
He next paid his respects 10 the POpulsts
and did them with gloves of.
The Democratic party said he had
given us such good laws that the parties
springing up from time 10 time had never
gathered the power TO retire #. His tri-

ball-headed for nothing" Mr.. Haskins
had last night store Of remarkable
jokes which he dealt out with such telling
effect that the upr0af became general. He
read from the circular issued by South
