Pat Donan. Democrts, Demo-
cratic Depravlty.

Pat Donan, the Causcasian rock-rlb-
bed democrat, accounts for the re-
cent political landslide. thusly:
"What have the bougus Cleveland
Hill Croker Gormanized democratic
party done that it should have asked
the people of the United States to con-
tinue its hold upon the throat and the
pocket of the nationP "By their fruits
ye shall know them" BY their acts
you may judge it. Since God Almighty
created Luclfer an archangel of tran
cendent light and glory in heaven, and
let him scoot headlong down the steep
toboggan slide of damnatlon to become
the head devil in hell, there has meyer
been a greater failure, more mon
strous falsifier of pledges and violation
of platforms than the Clevelandesque
aggregation of freaks and misfts that
labels itself the democratic party. To
compare its ante-election promises and
prophecies with its past election per-
formances is not comparison, but con-
trast. From the days of Jefferson.
Madison and "Old Hickory" Jackson,
the democratic party has clung to the
gold and siver, silver and gold, as the
constitutional currency of the country.
For thirty years past democrats have
frothed at the mouth about "gold-bugs,"
"bloated bondholders," "piratical tools
of Wall Street." and all genus of shy
lockian monstrosities. And, in 1892,
they elected the very prince of devils of
goldbuggery and piratical toolery presl-
dent of the United States. They plac-
ed "the money devil" they had SO long
execrated at "the top of the heap"
Cleveland did what no republican could
ever have done-brought this country
to a monometallic basis. By his hum
bug democracy and the onmipotent
bribery of half billion dollars of an
nual patronage, he secured bunco de-
mocratic votes enough in congress to
carry his gold brgandage scheme
through, and turned the capitol, the
treasury, the White house into anexes
of Wall Street bucket shops and gamb-
ling hells. And 1000 bankruptcies and
100000 tramps and heggars promptly
attested the monstronsess of his sin
and infamy. In bis first twelve months
10000 miles or railroad went into re-
ceivers hands, more than hundred
banks suspended, mines, mill and fac
tories shut down, merchants and farm
ers were sold out at forced sales, the
whole republic was plastered with
