as to the ratio. His eulogy OF senator MOI

criticised Kolb for his connection with
Senator Hoar and ostensible endorsement OF
protection. Captain Johnston commented on
the charge of his standing near to the
populists, saying he wanted Their votes IN
August and wished them to return to the
fold. He declared that the Jeffersonlan
platform did not differ materially from the
ancient democratic faith. His speech

worshiper of Grover Cleveland has q very
fine pair OF ponies. of which he IS exceed
inglV proud. These ponies he has named
Grover and Gresham. The ponies are
splendid matches and are greatly admired.
Recently he changed lot men and the new
man was not cOnVerS1nt with the relative
positions which Grover and Gresham had
occupied with reference to the pole of the
buggy. He hitched each on the wrong SIDE.
The consequence was that when the good
old gentleman commenced his drive his
PONIES became exceedingly reckless and
finally broke into a run. Their master, see
ing himself in danger called out to passers-
nv "EIclp! help! stop Grover and Gresham,
God d-n them; they don't seem to know
on which side they belong" His anti-ad-
ninistration friends are laughing at him
now.
