priests OF the Nation. who were chosen
for the lower synagogue every two years
and as on previous occasions there was
much talk and contention among the
different political parties. The actions
of Cleveland in debating to the chiei
priests what they should do, not only
on the silver question but on all matters
coming before them, was distasteful to
to the people and they said one to the
other, "Let us rebuke this man, who
thinks he is of more Importance than
the whole nation" And those who
were Of the Democratic faith, such as
was held ia the time Of Jackson, we're
as eager as the Republicans and Pop
nlists to show this demagogue, whose
ancestors were on speaking terms with
Baalam, that the United States did not
believe in a one man power. The Re-
publicans by many cunning arguments,
persuaded the people that it was on ac-
count of the change in the tariff that
caused the hard times, pointing to the
administrations of Grant and Lincoln
to prove that the country was in a more
prosperous condition than it was under
Democratic administration but did not
say much about silver as their record
on that matter would not bear much
investigation. About the only thing
the Democrats could say was 1--WE are
Democrats Their legislation at the
dictation of Cleveland, was of such a
wretched character, and they were to
blame on the silver question equally
withthe Republicans that it left them
no point to make their argument on
and as for promises, the people knew
too well the wortff~of Democratic
promise to take any stock IN them.
The Populists warred on both old
parties and claimed that the salvation
of the country could only be attained
by voting for and with their party, and
thus it was that the campaign was CON
Quoted until the 9Th day Of November,
the day of election.
And, behold, there was another po-
litical revolution and the Republicans
made a clean sweep of the country,
yea, even carrying Missouri, which
was SO strongly Democratic that Bob
Ingersol said he would believe in hell |
when Missouri went Republican, and
the Democratic strong holds were
broken up and the Solid South was solid
no longer. Yea this man, Grover, had
accomplished through his dictatorial
and repulsiye conduct, in two years,
that which the Republican party had
failed to accomplish in twenty.
And Grover went down to Buzzard
Bay to be alone with his great sorrow.
And he cried with loud voice, "Ohl
Democrats, Democrats how often would
l have gathered you as a hen gathers
her chickens, and ye would not, and
now, behold, my chickens have come
home to roost,n and he sobbed with an
exceeding great sob.
And there came unto him his heuch-
man, Carlisle, and said unto him,
fCheer up Master, and let thy heart be
comforted. You have yet two years TO
serve before thy time expires and part
If that time with thy "cuckoos" as
chief priests. Then let us be up and
Icing while it is called to-day, for, be-
lold the Democrat political night is
coming, wherein no Democrat can work
md let US make unto ourselves friends
# mammon. In the first place let us
make an issue ofS5O, 900 900 more bonds g
nd let us do it before Congress meets, !
or in their soreness over the defeat q
Thich many of them have sustained !
nd which they charge to thy actions, oh
Iroyer, they may refuse to sanction it.
nd, behold [ will devise bill, cum G
ingly worded, aud it shall be framed a
} benefit our friends, the bankers, but v
will make it appear that it is for the u
lie purpose of benedting the people, c.
nd we will railroad il through the o.
and it Will make the bankers a.
If friends for ever" pl
Now when Grover beard these words y
? was comforted, and he dried his Il
res, and giving one final big sob he pa
id, Verify, Carlisle, thou art more pa
an brother unto me, yea from this se
ne forth | will be a David to thy JON III

IS up bit, | will come uo 10 Wash pe
