CLEVELAND DOES ANSWER PRAYER.

1870
began to dream, and in my dream,
Grover Cleveland appeared unto me
and leading me to my secretary he said,
.'Flol0ers bg the Uayside, take the pen
and write for will be revealed and an
swer those prayers. therefore write We
for | will be revenged saith Grover
Cleveland, " so | took the pen and as he
spoke, so wrote these words:
Oh We perverse. unwise and COM
planning Democratic party, ye whom
raised from the dead and brought out
Of the land Of oblivion; ye whom would
have been eyerlastingly dead had it not
have been for me We whom | lead
through the sea of lies and false prom
ises and whom even now am feeding
ON the mamma OF fat offices and free
SOUP. Ye It is to thee / would make my
self manifest and call to account this
day. Ye have murmured against me,
We have made vain pray ers unto me
which So long as am your great mas
ter | willanswer, not as We ask but rs !
think best for thee; not as was promis-
ed for We know that promises which are
kept belongs to the enemy and there
fore is not good democracy, and yet
have not kept some Of the promises.
Ye know that We were promised land
flowing with milk and honey and have
We not received fat offices and free soup
till We cannot rest.
Did not agree to Tighten your bur
dens, and have | not closed nearly
every factory, mil and rhine in this
great land Did not agree to Cypress
the money barons. and have not
driven them clear through the throcs of
bankruptcy and hustled them around
till they have got so poor that they can
only bleat and arc forced to stand up
twice 10 a place to east shadow Did
not agree to be your presidents Be-
hold whose will or word is superior to
mine? Did | not tell you that you
could put the Republicans to flight, and
behold how we'll We did it. but now on
account of their great numbers We
waver all along the lines and because
We wavered they have pressed we sore.
They have torn down your great wall of
lies with which Ye got in power. They
have rent asunder your great cob house
temple OF fame in which was stored
your past records. My name which
was once your strong armor have We
allowed to become corroded and cover
cd with rus: till it no longer shields We
from the fiery darts cast by the Repub-
licans. The sword of fraud and un-
constitutionalty which We once used so
yaliantly and strong, was not made of
the proper stuff which kills Republicans
and now behold an hundred fold has
come to life in place of every one whom
We supposed ye had slain. Your ban
uers which you carried on that memoir
able November have fallen in the hands |
of the enemy and now they taunt You
by displaying them 10 YOU The
peIches on which were perched roosters
on that same November night are now
empty and gone. and the roosters ye
have plucked and eaten there by hope
ing TO stay for time your Improbable
lives. Oh ye Of little faith | hddled
unto thee then and SIC danced like Jump
ing Jacks. but now although pipe unto
You with q House and Senate band, and
crowded so much into the eagle on the
silver dollar that make it scream, yet
We viii not dance but stand moping like
bump on log
Yes. We kick Where Oh! where!
have ye kick coming, We have the rec.
ords to refer 10 which Democracy has
made in the years which are passed
away, ye kick on my soup, but We knew
that soup houses were common in those
good old days Ye kick en- the money;
We knew that money would be scarce
as hens teeth. Yo kick on the panies
but We knew that we could not have real
democracy without panics and bank
ruptcy. Ye Kick. but ye knew that dc-
fensoless women and children went
hungry and cold, that want. sorrow
and despair were truly the character
isacs If real Democracy AMI handed
