The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1895-03-14

Welsh woman proposed to bury the
downward so that the
more he dug the deeper he would
get. Dead, and the American peo-
pie will lose precious little if it is
buried beyond resurrection.
Again, "Our party is too deeply
rooted in the hearts of the honest
people of this land to be lightly
laid aside for another Republican
experiment. That there are hon
est people in the dishonest Demo
cratic party, we frankly admit.
That majority of the honest peo-
pie of the country are in that party
we do not think. That the editor
of the Democrat believes himself
that the principles of the Demo-
cratic party are for the best inter-
ests of the honest people we posi-
lively deny Read the history Of

the Democratic ticket than ever in
the history of the country, they
were deceived into dong so by the
promises Of Democratic papers and
stump speakers. 1t was an expert
ment-one that the people will not
try again, for some time at least.
In 1892 great many honest people
were deceived. They have had
Cleveland's object lesson. It was
a costly one, but having found out
how voting the Democratic ticket
brought such dire distress to the
best interests of the country last
fall, they were honest enough to
hasten to undo as much as possible
the mischief that had been done.
They were deceived into voting for
that party whose leaders have
proved themselves so incompetent
that many Democrats thanked God
and took courage when their Con-
gress, which will go down into
history as the most incompetent,
the most laundering and contempt
ible that has ever disgraced any
civilized country, adjourned sane
die. What a recorll Even the
Democrat does not point to 1t with
pride. Pledges Violated The
Fifty-second and Fifty-third Con-
crosses were the most extravaganza
in our country's history, although
pledged to economy. Look at its
treatment of the old soldier. What
a grand thing for the great party of
reform, or rather deform, if it's
record could be obliterated from
the history of the country and
from the hearts and minds of the
''honest people," The people have
had their object lesson and do not
want it repeated. Is it any wonder
that Mr.. Hennessey, Democratic
member OF the New York legisla-
ture, should introduce the follow
ing in the New York assembly:
"Resolved, That the legislature of
the State of New York congratu-
lates the people of the United States
upon their release from the menace
to popular progress and general
prosperity which existed while the
Fifty-third Congress had the power
to make the laws for the nation. +"
we are told that when the speakers
gayel fell and the destructible work
of the Flfth-third Congress was at
an end the members of the press
stood up in the press gallery and
sang "Praise God from whom all
blessings fow." No wonder the
American people rejoiced when this
party of great promise and so little
performance of what was beneficial
to the American people, went out of
existence. Even the Democratic
New York Times, of last Monday,
speaks Of the great deform Congress
as "Ignoble and impotent" and de-
clares It's Infamous record to be a
disgrace to America, and ends the
article by saying ''The people of
the United States should unite in
devout thanksgiving to the God of
nations when this scourge is lifted
from them at noon to-day" The
