Would that every one could realize
our condition as a nation and under
stand the deception that is being
used by the Democratic papers
throughout our country. l can not
understand why or how it is that
there are some who claim to put faith
in the Democratic party, while every
promise made by its platforms and
by its speakers has proved to be a lie.
Now they are claiming that a
controlling maj ,rity in the next Ma
tionsl Democratic convention will be
be for free silver-hoping by so do
ing, that they can fool those whom
they fooled in '92 and get them to
vote for Cleveland or some other man
for President in '98 who will be in
favor of sacrificing all our liberties
for the "honest dollar" but 1 think
their effort will be in vain. We
need not expect anything else than
that those whom Vance called cred
legged grass hoppers," (revenue
oficers) will howl and snort for the
Democratic party, and it seems that
we have an over-production of the
"grass hoppers." 1t seems to me
that the Democrats used to say, be-
fore they got the Office, that they
were in favor of repeating the Infer
nal revenue law; they called it Infer
nal then, but it seems they think il

Kansas City Sunday Sun, although

sanction of Assistant Postmaster
General Jones, of whom Mr.. fischer
sought decision on his action. The

proper that it should be trans united

The course of Postmaster fischer was
particularly warranted by the upris-

and the stand taken by the munich
pal government in determining to
suppress it.
A package OF recent issue of the
Sunday Sun was detained by the Rock

manner of borrowing money and
making the lender appear the debtor,
his efforts to enrich himself at the
expense of his creduleus partner and
to stave off his board bill. all are
excessively ludicrous. With an en-
