WHAT DOE TT MEaNe

The splendid majorities the republic
an ticket is receiving everywhere means
that the people have tired of asking for
bread and receiving a stone. Have tired
OF promises and demand performances.
Discovered that "something" which was
radically wrong" and have righted it.
Have awakened to a realization of what
pop and democratic success meant for
the country-and want no more of it.
Have found that David Crockett spoke
as a prophet when he said: "Let we'll
enough alone" It also means that the
republican party have at last awakened
to a realization of the necessities of the
country, which demands a perpetuation
OF the principles it advocates. 1t means
that in the election Just closed the wage
Garner and the capitalist wed with
zach other only in giving loyal support
to the G. o. P.
1t means that the jackass emblematic
OF democracy has been stepped on by
the republican elephant, and lies a shape
less mass. That the Tammany tiger has
had his teeth drawn, andis now as harm
less as was the lion in the presence of
Daniel. It ~means-well, it means
