THIRTEEN STATES AND ONE
TERRITORY.

Of November, when scanning the election
results of the previous day. It was on
this fateful day, 290 years ago, that that
martyred Catholic hero, Guy Fawkes,
had purposed to blow up King James
and his heretical parliament; by a Slip
the project failed; but on this 290th ami
versary of the day when the king and
parliament were going up on tour OF
observation, Grover and his Kitchen Cab
met were hoisted skyward with a propul-
sion in the rear by far exceeding the dy-
manic power of Guys sc barrels OF gun
powder. When Growers Johnny came
marching home from the bloody
ground" where he had been to deposit his
little Democratic "snow flake" in a little
ballot box, and had to face the lone fish
erman Of Buzzard's Bay to give an ac-
count of his Kentucky stewardship, his
physical condition personated that OF
Cervantes' Don after the fight with the
wind MILL his whole being weiss democrat
ized. A kodac view of the sceene would
be worth q souvenir silver half dollar.
Johnny, SO 1t IL said, thought to tighten
his fall by telling GroVey that honest
money had won in Kaintuck, but never
a smile fitted across the features of the
late sheriff of Erie county, wherein lies
Buffalo, the domicl of Maria. And
MY Maryland" too! Insatiate archers.
would not one suffice?
The states which voted on the 5th Of
November named, respectively New
York, Nebraska, New Jersey, Maryland,
Kentucky, Kansas Iowa, Ohio, Virginia,
Mississippi and Virginia are the "putrid
sets, 1llinois-Utah failing up the list.
Mississippi and iVrgiana are the "putrid
"reminiscences; the others went Republi-
can by majorities from $4,000 up to the
high water mark Of war times. There is
but one word which expresses the situa-
tion-"mOnStrousr
What has caused this great commo-
ton, motion, motion, our country
through?" The wise asses are kicking
up a deal of dust in trying to answer
Sermons, secular and religious, moral
and political, coyly treat on the subject
If the Democrats had held New York
with Maryland and Kentucky i'm line
with Virginia, the wise asses, seers and
prophets, would likely have possessed a
keener scent in divininG the future, with
a corresponding betterment Of their hind
sight; but with the Empire State hope
leSsly gone, and Kentucky and Maryland
in the camp Of the enemy the outcome
IN the contest Of next year, unless the
hnal Judgment day precedes it. has been
told.
That is, such seems to be the outlook
now; but he who entertains the belief
that Cleveland Democrat will be in
augurated president on the 4th of March,
~, has not yet cast off the congenital
inf1rmities of the third initiatory degree
in the evolution from the ape to the status
OF the average Man of era. He may not
be an Idiot, nor yet a Fool-undeniably
to be charitable he is a Simpleton strong
~ tainted with the base blood Of his an
cestors.
But suppose that the process Of disin-
tegration in the ranks of the Cleveland
Democrats goes on, and eliminates in the
rebellion and disruption of Cleveland"Of-
flee Holders Convention" to come off
next year? A convention intended to
be packed in the interest of Wall street.
and in all that that name implies? Sure
1y, there is a limit to party fealty; this
was demonstrated In the campaign of
1850, resulting in the triumph of the peo-
pie over the politicians. The history of
1860 may be repeated in 1886. If it is
possible to bring about union of the peo-
pie for the sake of the people. the leaders
of the two old parties would find their
heads in a basket staring each other in
the face. Heaven, Hell and Earth would
clasp hands over their decapitation. The
Sun and Moon and Stars would sing again
the story of their creation. The "Repub-
lican-Democratc Corporation doing
business as the "Rothschild- Cleveland
Sherman & Co. Syndicate" would pass
into the hands of a receiver, dead and dis
hOnored, it's dust commingling with that
of the thousands of our best citizens who
have been driven into bankruptcy by the
Vaccinations and frauds. Of q nest of
cormorants which has fed upon the vitals
of the nation to the utter destruction of
puDllC HOIlOr ana private commence.
The power rests in the ranks Of the
Democratic party to unhorse their treach-
erouS leaders in the national organiZa-
ton. Kentucky and Maryland point the
way; and while it seems a solecism to say
so, we all know that those states are not
Republican. Kentucky determined to
slap those civil service reformers, Cleve-
land and Carlisle, in the face; Maryland
was after Boss Germans scalp; to do
these things a Republican club was their
sole recourse. In the next onset third
ticket will be a-fieId and these two states
will be heard in its makeup.
To this complexion, then, the Peoples
party must come. Divested of SUBJ
treasury schemes, the Intoxicating cup
female suffrage, land tenures, Sunday
laws, God in the constitution, initiative
and referendum, filings at capital, appeals
to classes, one term pronunciamento,
CANNON about retrenchment immigra-
tion restriction. fOl-de-rol on the origin Of
wealth. free ballot and fair count, in
FAINT baptism and party damnation-di-
vested, we say, of this wordy and per-
functory nonsense, and for substitution
short, sturdy declaration in favor of a
restoration of bimetalliSm as it existed
from 1892 to 1S73-governmenta1 owner
ship of every chartered corporation ex-
ercising delegated sovereignty, and the
calling Of a national convention, to as
semble in 1900 in Washington. to make a
new Federal National Constitution
adapted to the changed condition and
wants of our civiliZation-then we might
fuse the dissatisfied and aimless majority
which is now strangled by pluralities, on
an electoral ticket, and enter Washington
with flying colors on the 4th of March,
1S97,-keeping off the grass.
Can this coming together Of these he
terogeneous elements be effected? Pro-
hibitionists Independents, Socialists, An
a.rchists, Single Takers, Mugwumps, AL
HANGERS, Labor Unions, A. p. AS, ETC.,
&c.--all marching to the music of the Peo-
pies party? Such an aggregation might
have an original in the vessel which Peter
saw let down from heaven, containing
''all manner of four-footed beasts of the
earth, and creeping things and fowls of
the air." but keeping in view the fact
that that is not common what God hath
cleansed, we venture the opinion that
Peters sheet, which was knit at the four
corner, was In al better sanitary condition
than that under which Grover Cleveland
and John Sherman have nested since dog
days In 1873. To prevent this amalgama-
ton Is the especial mission of band
of hired traitors and spies operating on
the different lines, and fomenting distrust
in the interest Of party discord. AS fast
as found, they should be hung or shot.
A very ordinary observer of events can
account for the vote of 1S94-5. The lead
ers of the great unwashel obtained power
by false pretenses, and detection was de-
feat. Cleveland danced a death-song on
the Democratic platform of 1892, little
imagining that his grave was already
dug. The lick-spittles of his admins
tration (who are named "Cuckoos' to His
EXcellency), and who talk about a third
term, are lying to the Buffalo Bison, and
