At recent banquet OF the Young
Mems Democratic Society, Of New
York, Champ Clark, the brilliant young
Congressman from Missouri, was the
principal speaker. He said
The Republican party this day bases
all its hopes Of 1S94 and 1896 on the con-
tinued depression OF business. In the
whole history Of politics it is the first
time that any great party ever welcom-
cd hunger, nakedness aud enforced idle
ness as allies.
Every furnace whose fires are out
every wheel that stands idle-every
snip whose sails are rotting in our har-
oors-every laborer out Of employment
t-everY farmer on the road 10 bank
fuptcy-every merchant whose trade
pas diminished-every iactory
whose doors are closed
Every tramp upon the highways every
railroad in the hands Of receivers-au
these were produced by Republican
misrnle and Republican wasteiuIness.
and upon these, falsely charging them
upon Democrats the Republicans are
plotting return 10 power.
They have such high hOIes Of success
that even the grandson OF his grand
father SHE'D bis tiny castor into the
ring at Indianapolis the other day 10
compete for Cieveland's shoes with the
mau from Mains aud the Buckeye
Napoleon
II We do not hurry up and pass a good
tariff bill very soon, thereby setting the
wheels OF business revolving once more,
add a plague should unfortunately fol-
low on the heels OF this Mckinley panic,
and II the cattle should have the muir
rain, the sheep the rot, the hogs the
cholera, and a universal drought should
prevail, Republican Presidential light
ming rods would be as plentiful as i'd
dlers 10 that place not hJ TO be men
toned 10 ears polite.
The greater the distress OF the peo-
PIE, the higher mount the hopes of the
Republicans.
A year ago a speech By Hon. Thos.
Bracket Reed sounded like the Dead
March in SAUL; now he capers ia an
eleDhantine sort OF way to the music Of
his own presidential March
In the summer of 1898, when the
Michigan GENERALIZATION. Julius
Cesar Burrows-tuned up his Eolian
harp il was the minor key OF The
Heart Bowed Down." now it gives forth
a strain inspiring 10 its followers as was
The Campbelis are Coming" 10 the
bsleaguered heroes within the walls of
Lucknow.
Last summer, when l first heard the
DemOsthenes OF IOWa-brilliant young
Dolliver-his oratory was Iuguorious as
"Hark from the TombS;' now 10 is as
defiant as "The MarSellaise" or "DiXie."
Why ali this merrlment, this clash
ing OF cymbals, this furnishing up Of
rusty Presidential booms in the camp
Of the Philistiues? IL is because of
treason 10 the camp Of the Democracy.
" IL could be definitely ascertained

MeSsrs. Reed, Mckinley and Har-
risOn-I name them 10 the order
OF their brain-pOwer-wOuid be willing
70 discount their Presidential salaries 90
per cent, and Democratic Presidential
candidates would spring up as suddenly
and numerOusly as did Roderick Dhu's
ClanSmen from the heathery hills of
bonnie Scotland.
