This joke hasdone service aforetime,
but let it go.
Pope was probably tricked out of
fifteen thousand votes and perhaps
moro in the State, but Evans takes the
cake. Pope may appeal from the ma
chine, but only to the machine; he
may go to the courts, but the machine
will welcome him; to the higher court,
but there he will find his comrades Of
old in his ancient household; there he
will get his death stroke from his
former yoke fellows; and there will he
DO buried. BE aisy, We spalpeen," as
an Irish Confed said to a Yank, kicking

Who struck Billy. Patterson? How
many talks did Brother Talbert make
in the House last session? The elo-
quence wasted about the "organized
democracy? Where are Jerry Simp-
son and Thomas Watson? What about
Tillman's great speech on Staten
Island? What has become of McCune?
How about these million democrats
driven into the republican fold? Cleve-
land did it, Ell? How che bestrides
the lazy pacing Clouds! What a
mighty man! What has become of
our w great and mighty men that
they fail to persuade and CONVEX man
kind and stop the.mischief? Cleveland,
Ell? So says our young elect Governor.
The democrats were so badly beaten
in New York that there is not q sound
democratic hide in the State. There
has been nothing like it except the

are cOmmendable and we admire his
heroism in leading q %forlorn hope.
Cleveland was wise to keep out of
harms way. Atlas holds up our little
globe, but he has gravitation to stand
on.
We are probably on the eve of better
times and a revival of prosperity all
along the lines. If it now it
will be attributed to republican tri-
umph and the democracy won't see
daylight in ten years. So much for
populism, free silver and other inan-
cial fads.
The tricks Of the trade in Stokes
and Elliott's districts may cost Wilson,
Latimer and others clearly elected.

The next House will be organized
by the republicans. j. Billy Stokes,
populist, will hardly be seated.

Fraud is suspected at various pre-
