who voted the Democratic ticket last
November that are ready 10 do any
thing from vote to shoulder a musket
before they will vote it again. /
noted down the different kinds of
Democrats met:
First, Vance Democrats; 2, Cleve-
land Democrats; 3, Because my
daddy was Democrat: 4. Free trade
Democrat; 5. Tariff Democrat; 6,
Free silver Democrats; 7, Money good
in "Yurrup" kind of Democrat.
The eighth one was lone. We only
found one of his kind. He said be
was n Vance-Fres Silver-Sound-
Money-Free Trade Double Standard
Reform-Equal Rights Democrat; but
when he Was talking he had kind
OF graveyard sound 20 his voice
and said: "My friend, am for free
silver, but We can't stand it to have
all the world to haul in their silver
and dump it on us" While
he was talking he was look
ing back over his shoulder expecting
to see n wagon train from "Yurrup"
loaded with bullion, spoons, cast-off
plates, old silver mounted buggy
harness. walking cane heads, old
shelf-worn water coolers and drink
ing cups and such like. He fears
that the Populists will put up mints
on all the creeks and branches like
blockade stills, and that "Yurrup"
will haul in its silver trinkets just
like taking apples and peaches to
the still house; and this same man
had three patches on the bosom" of
his pants as large as the sheep-skin
my daddy made me ride to church on
when | was n boy. | wished for my
gun and left him.
We met a young Democratic M. ID.
the other day who is peddling pills
successfully in CASTOR county. We
asked him what proportion of his
practice was Democratic. He closed
one eye and give me kind of I-wish-
you would not-ask me such ques
tons kind of look and said: "If ]
had to depend on Democrats alone
for my hash / would starve. There are
only nine in my township" And /
found out that IN that nine there are
eight different kinds. Thus it is all
around the line. When | meet
man and he tells me he is Demo
crat and | find he wants to talk
politics, the first thing / do is to ask
him which kind of Democrat.
j will say the Alliance is stronger
or will be stronger in my district at
the July meeting than it has been
since 1t left the Democratic party
and went into politics three years
ago. j. Z. SOssAMAN.
