writtsn tor the DeLamar NUGGET,
CHAPTER III.

Now. il came to pass that these word
did please the congregation nightly
And they straightway commanded thei
chief scribe to make such proclama
ton and he obeyed them. And, behol'
this is the epistle he sent to these lands
ITO our Brethern who are in the Ian,
Of Kansas, Colorado, Idaho, Neyad
and Dakots, Greeting:
Dearly Bsloyed-It seemeth good t,
tho Chief Priests OF the Democratic
faith that should write you an epistle
And, fret, let me exhort you TO b,
strong in the faith that was once de,
livered unto the Democratic party
But, Brethsrn, We are commanded te
be az wise q serpents and as harmless,
~ doves and 1t seemsth good to the
Chief Priests of our party that you
should support the Peoples party can
didate for President this year. Now,
it may appear % you that THE is depart
ing from the faith. Far be it from the
to counsel such thing. But, Brethren
4
you can assist the party more by doing
this and carrying these lands for the
Populists than You conld by supporting
tbs Democratic party and throwing
these lands into the Repu blicans' hands.
Verify, verify, say unto You, TO the
pure everything is pure. Greet one an
other with a Democratic kiss. The
Brethren send greeting
- --, Chief Scribe.
Now, it came 10 pass, that when the
faithful 10 these Iands had received
this epistle they, with one accord ex
claimed Amen y And their Scribe
at once wrote to the Chief Scribe, say
ing, THY will shall be done''
Now, when he Chief Scribe received
this epislle be maryelled aud exclaimed
"Greater faith than this bath no Dem
ocrat, no, not even il the land oil New
York =,
Now, when The day Of election was
fully come, the people gathered Them
selves together At their divers poiiins
places, aud there MAS much contention
among them. Aud lhsy spake unto
each other many words, urging ZACH
other to vote this way and that way
and there was much confusion amongs, |
them Tor the people ner1 sore aIraIu To
trust the Democrats after they had
proven 1alse 10 their trust, aud they
were also lothe to giving The govern
ment into the hands ofllIe Republicans
for they had had no relief from them in
ths Jour previous years that they had
been ia power, aud they were afraid TO
trust the Populists because they had
never been tried, and turn whichever
way they would. there seemed to be no
relief, and they were urged .'of two
evils to choose tbs least.n And, behold,
the people were forgetfui people and
four years having elapsed since the
r1lership of The Democrats, and the
ruisrship of the Republicans being
fresh In their minds, the greater num-
Der of them voted for Grover Cleveland
Tor Chief Ruler and be was elected, yea,
syen by great majority. And the
Democrats in the lands of Colorado,
Kansas, Idaho, Nevada and Dakota, did !
obey the commandments of the Chief ,
Priests OF the Democratic party and {
;sst their votes for james B. Weaver,
he Populist, and these lands were r
counted to him, thus making the eIec-
ion of Grover Cleveland more sure and r
certain.
And again was the land filled with +
ejoicing as on the former OCCASIONS, II
nd the people did asse mble ber selves r
ogether in their towns and in their q
ities and did march on foot and on Il
horseback With bands of music and n
WITH torches and did shout nightly ii
nd did make great noise. Is
And, behold, WAS filled with amase-
nent and did marvel greatly. And il
pake unto one standing near, saying: n
What meaneth this noise and this n
reat rejoicing2D In
And he answered and said marvel
OF, for know you not that Grover ce

And said again unto him, "But did "
icy not, four years ago, rejoice The su
'me when his opponent, Benjamin re
arrlson was elected over him2 And, or

any that did then vote for BeDjamin re
