An exchange tells about n republi

cause the republican party to hang to-

caused the republican brother to make
the following amendment to his prayer:
Not, oh Lord in the sense that our
democrat brother means, but in the
spirit of accord and concord" ANY

dol" calculated the democratic
brother. The pastor Immediately
made rule that hereafter politics

sumo that the stockholders would be-
delighted to have the intelligence of 4,

IN the history OF the United states has
there been Il railroad of any magni-
tudc or size which has declared such a
dividend. 1t is very easy to rump
it and howl, but ii is quite different to
prove your rump- howl assertion. The

THE THIRD TERM IDEA.

Another Term for President CIevc-
land-Explanation of the Demo-
cratic Defeat.
The Washington Times prints the
following In regard to "a third term for
MI. Cleveland:
mere Is now an organized effort
on foot by the Cleveland wing of the
Democratic party to thrust a fourth
nomination and q third term on their
idol. This effort is to be started and
directed from the throne, and every
Democratic Office holder will be ex-
pected to work for the desired end.
Since the recent election there has
been q most decided change on the
part of the administration. Prior to
the election the cabinet officers, almost
without exception, believed, and in
some instances said, the President did
not want q third term.
The day after the election the
members Of the official family began
talking third term from their hearts.
They believe, or profess to believe,
that Cleveland is the only man who
car lit the Democratic party out of
the defeat 1T a sustained. This talk
Increased perceptibly after Fridays
is known that Cleveland and his Of
fetal advisers spent nearly two hours
discussing the political situation.
The cabinet officers believe that
Mr.. Cleveland is tho only man who
can be elected as the nominee of the
Democratic party. He, according to
them, Is the only man whose per.
sonality is a platform in itself and who
Is able to command u great votc from
