Encouraged by the success of the
Huntington barbecue, a few weeks ago,
when some of the faithful came a hum
dred miles to get a square meal, and
where Mr.. Bynum cheerfully contrib
uted the entire contents of his pocket
book, except his railroad passes, for the
good of the cause, it has been decided
to make another appeal to the Demo-
cratic stomach. Western farmers some
times toll their hogs into the pen by
scattering corn. which the hungry and
unsuspecting animals continue to eat
until, too late, they find there is no re-
treat. In like manner, apparently, the
Democratic managers hope to toll the
wandering n scattered brethren into
the party fold with free v~ictuals. I'm
der the captivating head line, "Clam
bake. Fish fry!" the State organ an
nounces that at Peru, on the 31st inst,
fifty barrels of clans, four tons of fish
and one hundred head Of sheep will be
cooked and dispensed freely, share and
share alike, to all who will attend. In
cidentally it is mentioned that several
NOTED orators will be present and
speak, but this is not put in big black
letters. The grub" is the drawing
card. By the way, as sheep are worth
next to nothing under the new tariff, one
wonders why the managers did not or
der a tlousand sheep and do away with
the CLAIMS. Perhaps, however, they did
not do this for the same reason that a
farmer who voted the Democratic tick
ct two years ago sheared his sheep this
year from the rear instead of the front
because he was ashamed to look a
sheep in the face.

credit for the passage Of the present

who is anywhere near the inside of poll

that it was by his advice that the eff

Supreme Court would declare it uncon-
