Hon. Champ Clark, member OF
congress from Missouri, recently ad
dressed the Democratic club of York
Among other things he said:
"The Republican party to day
bases all it's hopes of 1894 and 1896
on the continued depression Of bust
ness. In the whole history of poll
tics it is the first time that any great
party welcomed hunger, nakedness
and enforcement of idleness as allies.
"Every furnace whose fires are
out-every wheel that stands idle
every ship whose sails are rotting
in our harbors-every laborer out of
employment-every farmer on the
road to bankruptcy-every merchant
whose trade has diminished-everv
factory whose doors are closed-ev-
cry tramp upon the highways-ev-
cry railroad in the hands of receiv-
ers-all these were produced by Re-
publican wastefulness-and upon
these-charging them upon Demo
crats-the Republicans are plotting
return to power.
"They have such high hopes of
success that even the grandson of
his grandfather SHE'D his tiny cast
er into the ring at Indianapolis the
other day to compete for Cleveland
shoes with "the Man from Maine"
and "the Buckeye Napoleon"
eff we do not hurry up and pass a
good Tariff bill very soon, thereby
setting the wheels of business revolv-
ing once more, and plague should
unfortunately follow on the heels of
this Mckinley panic, and if the cat
tie should have the murrain, the
sheep the rot, the hogs the cholera
and universal drought should pre-
vail, Republican Presidential light
ming rods would be plentiful as
fddlers in that place not fit to be
mentioned to ears polite
"The greater the distress of the
people, the higher mount the hopes
of the Republicans
ga year ago speech by Hon.
Thomas Bracket Reed sounded like
''the Dead March in SAUL" now he
capers in an elephantine sort of way
to the music of his own Presidential
March,
GIN the summer of 1898, when the
Michigan Characterization. Julius
Caesar Burrows-tuned his AGlian
harp, it was the minor key of The
Heart Bowed Down. now it gives
forth strain inspiring to his fol-
lowers as was The Campbells are
Coming to the beleaguered heroes
within the walls of Lucknow.
Last summer when / first heard
the Demosthenes of Iowa-brilliant
young Dolliver, his oratory was lug
ubrious as 'Hark from the Tombs;
now it is as defiant as The Marsel.

"Why all this merriment, this
clashing of cymbals, this furnishing
up of rusty Presidential booms in
the camp of the Philistines? 1t is
because of treason in the camp of
the Democracy.
If it could be definitely ascertain
ed this night that every Democrat
ic Senator is going straightway to
carry out Democratic promises, par
TALLY at least, by voting for the Will
son Bill as it left the House, there
would be such a slump in Republi-
can stock that Messrs. Reed, Nc
Kinley and HARRISON name them
in the order of their brain-power-
would be willing to discount the
Presidential salaries 80 per cent,
and Democratic Presidential candi-
dates would spring up as suddenly
and numerously as did Roderick
Dhu's clansmen from the heathery
hills of bonnie Scotland.
"What the Democratic party most
needs is a Tarpeian Rock from
which to throw its traitors"
