ANOTHER FUNERAL.
And there will be no Mourners When
It Takes Place.

To the Editor Of the New DOMINION:
The Post in its last issue after copying
from the minutes Of the Cass Democrat
ic Convention as follows:
"On account of funeral approaching
the meeting adjourned without passing
resolutions" comments thus mot
word is said about the mourners in the
convention. Did they march out and
join the procession or Will they wait the
coming family funeral in November
AS it was the funeral OF the republican
party referred to the mourners were in
the procession and not in the conyen-
ton. Yes we will wait until November
and then give the G. o. p. a decent fu-
neral. And we will bury it so deep that
it wont be able to hear GabriePs trump
ct on the day OF the resurrection
1t is true that many of those who at
tended the aforesaid convention did at
tend the funeral Of S. M. Berry which
passed along some 10 or Is minutes after
the convention adjourned.
The Post says in the same issue :
1.-THE Hon. Stephen B. Elkins showed
his good sense by keeping away from
the st. Louis convention" | heartily
agree with you in that declaration Mr.,
Post and have No doubt that nine out
every ten who did attend are ashamed
of themselves. / know that Teller and
his companions are.
| quote again from the same paper.
"The New York Tribune thinks the CON
vention at st. Louis last week was the
most remarkable held for a quarter of a
century,"
Yes, think so too, that enough dele
gates could be bought to nominate GER
tain man for president, and the most re-
markable is that delegates would sell
their souls and bodies in order to allow
Wall Street, N. Y, and LON bard Street,
London, to dictate the platform for that
convention.
! quote again from the same paper:
"The Wheeling Register is climb
ing down the ladder and is ready to
drop off into the current and drift with
the masses of its party. Yes, and all
the small fry democratic papers are fol-
lowing the Register and all are as meek
as little poodle dogs" Yes, they are
climbing into the silver band wagon
that is all that is left for them to do,
seeing that the silver wave is sweeping
over the country like a western cyclone
sweeping all before it. There will be
some small fry republican papers that
will want to get into the band wagon be-
fore next March
God at certain times directs the ac-
tions OF people and nations. God chose
this land for a nation of freemen. No
one doubts that it was Gods hand that
directed our forefathers in their conflict
for freedom during the revolutionary
struggle, and that it was Gods will that
gained our independence.
No one doubts that Gods hand
was with the Union forces during the
late rebellion, and it was through Him
the Union was restored. Then who can
doubt that it is Gods hand that is sweep
ing this silver wave over our country.
God sees that the people have been ov-
erburdened by the money power of this
fair land, and is now putting it in our
own hands to gain relief. Some will
perhaps sneer at this decla alton, but
let us look at facts. Ever since the be-
leaders. During the last six months
there has been spontaneous uprising
of the masses in favor OF the silver idea.
The great daily newspapers with only
two exceptions have fought it. Nineteen
out OF every twenty weekly papers have
fought it. Three out OF every four of
the great leaders of this country have
fought it. The great money power of
the land has fought it, and last but not
least the administration with its mighty
power has used every means to crush it,
but it will not down. No. it is increas-
ing by the thousands every day, and
with these facts before us who can have
the temerity to say that it is not Gods
hand that is now guiding the people.
The Bible tells US that Christ will come
again and he with his Saints will rule
and Judge the world. Some eminent
men say that the same will take splace
soon. One claims that it will occur on
the night OF the 4th of March, 1897. III
this last man is correct and | believe he
is, then Mckinley stands no show to
be elected President. Because Christ
will want an honest man for President
when he comes, One who is the peo-
pies friend and who will rule wisely
and well, and one who can not be con-
trolled by the money power or by willy
and corrupt politicians.
