sible brother. Nowhere is he out of
place. Ready to hug a Populist and
kiss the baby, he is no less apt to
put his feet confidingly into the lap
of friendly democrat and smile
him into state of helpless rapture.
To say that John is glad to see every
body, aiDgly and in groups, is a
waste Of words. John is glad: and
he makes the other fellow glad, like
wise.
If John were to suddenly alight
from balloon in Terra del Fuego,
his first act would be to smile broad
" at the naked men and women,
and then, with persuasive JUNCTION,
say, "My friends, am glad to be
with you to-day"
And the hungriest Cannibal in
the lot would resist the thought that
John would taste juicier and sweeter
than the average missionary, and,
instead of making savory stew out
of him, would probably insist on
hearing the latest news concerning
the gold standard and the Quantitve
Theory of Money.
Great is John! AS an ll.round
stump speaker he can't be beat, and
he can knock the vanity out Of any
speaker the Democratic party can
put against him.
Thank you, Comrades Of the glo
rious Tenth =! You have done your
duty well. With all the election
machinery in the absolute control OF
the Democratic Registrars, you have
again shown that you are invinoible.
Don't be at all downhearted: there
is no cause for it. This election will
be contested just as we would have
done that of 1894, and it is easier to
split 1900 rails than 1000.
You are not hurt, nor are we. On
the other hand, we have gained
much,
Every voter who passed the Reg
istrars for this election now kno &s
that he is safe.
Every voter who was stricken off
knows what it was for, and can now
remove the objection where the OBJ
lection was legal.
Ia other words, every voter now
knows exactly what there is against
him, and can better prepare to meet
it.
Every dollar spent to register
voters for this election is that much
spent toward the regular election Of
1896. Not dollar has been vast, d.
You now know all the tricks of
the enemy, and you now know all
the weak places in your own lines,
and you can get ready for 1896.
y -
Comrades Let the fight of 1896
begin no'O'! Pay your taxes 'aoso!
You have the money this fall, Or
can get it. Next Spring you will
not have it, aud can't get it.
If you want to stand by us in the
fight, begin moao.
Urge every defaulter to remove
the stigml from his name.
Urge him to keep in line; to keep
his name upon the roll of the living;
xplain to him that loss of vote
means political death; explain to
him that if he wants to have voice
in the making of laws and in the
choosing of rulers, he must pay up
his tax and be legally qualified to
vote. Don't put off this talk till
next year; talk it NOW.
There are some men in the world
who would feal ashamed to parade
a. Representative from District in
which nine counties out of eleven 60
against him in spite of Democratic
Registrars and Returning Boards.
But Back Is not ashamed. A
man who leaves a sick bed, and has
squad of litter bearers to take him
to the polls in order that he may
vote for himself, can no more be
made ashamed than a brass billy
goat can be made to blush.
