democrats in the senate in favorng a
free coinage proposition adds one \
more to the many proofs Of the fact y
that if the people are to bring about /
the reconciliation Of silver they t

Just so The people did some
pretty rullyiug d little over three
wears ago to ''sustain the democratic
leaders who miss no opportunity to
strengthen the cause" The result
OF the grand rally was the election
of Il democratic president, a demo-
cratic house of representatives
and Il democratic senate. Every one
was democrat from the cook to the
boss. The democrats had everything
Just as they wanted it. The very air
in and around the national capital
was impregnatcd with democracy, |
and the whole country was imprcg-
mated with it. Every bush and every
tree throughout this broad land shell
tered bowling democrat. Every
cabin and every mansion covered the
head Of q democrat ready to sacrifice
himself for the good Of his country
in most any Office worth all the way
from ST Il year to $50, 900 Thousands
of them, without money or scrip,
armed only with their stalls and
democracy, wcndcd their way to

cratic Allah begged an office from
Cleveland, his prophet, and got it.
