MR.. LIVINGSTON IS HOPEFUL.

Hon. A. H. Livingston. of West Plains,
Mo-, who until two years ago was one of
the leading Democrats of that part Of the
state, is an interested on-looker at the
meeting of the Populist National Com
mittee to which party he belongs.
II didn't leave the Democratic party"
said Mr.. Livingston to a Post-Dispat ch
reporter. The party left me. I made The
race Of the Populist candidate for Con-
gress in the Fourteenth District in '94
and polled 5000 votes. Since then our
strength has about doubled and I con-
fidently believe we will carry it in the
next election"

THANKS.

The Hon. Ignatious Donnelly is in the
very climax Of ecstacy just at this season
of the year. The meeting of the Farmers
Alliance. the Peoples Party and tine
bringing together Of the famous leaders
of these two great organizations furnish
es Mr.. Donnelly not only occasion for
great personal pleasure, but gives him
mental food for months to come. Mr..
Donnellys broad humor, magnificent lit
erary attachments. bold, honest and indie
pendent expression of opinions, render
him on all occasions delightful pres
ence,-indeed Mr.. Donnelly, on occasions
like these, is like the sparkling wine at
the evening banquet-Penny Press.

A VOICE FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

A TERRIBLE CONDITION OF THINGS
Editor Representative:
I desire to acknowledge the receipt of
two copies of the Representative, for
which thanks. l suppose they were sent
on account Of my recent article in 'The
Voice" on the "Glod Standard Robbery"
am encouraged to hope that we are soon
to have change in the policy Of govern
ment on this point. The danger of failure
lies in the power of the plutocrats to buy
American politicians, and most all the
voters, by the million, are for SALE
judge the country at large by what
see immediately around me. and In this
country there are from 1900 to $500 voters
who, when filled with whisky, will vote
for their own slavery. 1 fear that since
they, the money sharks, are thoroughly
aroused, they will by this means con-
troll the nominations for president in both
the old parties and then be able to elect
one or the other of them.
Gan you not declare war on the whisky

A BOSTON BALLAD.
THE 18TH YEAR OF THESE STATES.
A HISTORICAL BALLAD.

(By Walt whitman.)
W. J. Doran, Of saltwater. sends us the
following, from Walt Whitman's Leaves
Of Grass" and thinks it may be of much
interest under Cleveland's administration
as It was in the great anti-slavery contest
of 1854:
Clear the way there, Jonathan!
Way for the Presidents marshal!
wav for the government cannon!
Way for the federal foot and dragons
and the apparatus copiously humb-
ling.
I rose this morning early to get betime in
Boston town,
Here's a good place at the corner,
I must stand and see the show.
I love to look on the stars and stripes,
1 hope the flies will play Yankee Doo-
de-"
How bright shine the cutlasses Of the
foremost troops!
Every man holds his revolver, marching
stiff through Boston town.
A fog follows-antiques Of the same
comelimping.
Some appear wooden-legged and blood
less.
It has called the dead out Of the earth!
The old grave yards Of the hills have
hurried to see
UuaccountabIe phantoms gather by flank
and rear of it!
Cooked hats of molly mold!
Clutches made of mist
Arms in sings! old men leaning on young
shoulders!
What troubles you Yankee Phantom?
ho &c oil hot ~ no
Does the ague convulse your limbs?
Do you mistake your crutches for fire
locks and level them?
If you blind your eyes with tears. you
will not see the presidents marshal,
If you groan such groans you might balk
the government cannon.
For shame old maniacs!
Bring down those tossed arms and let
your white hair be,
Here gaze your smart grandsons-their
wives gaze at them from the win
dows,
See how we'll dressed-see how orderly
they conduct themselves.
Worse and worse! Can't you stand it?
Are you retreating?
Is this hour with the living too dead for
you?
Retreat then pell NELL!
Back to your graves!
Back to the hills old limpers!
I do not think you belong here, anyhow.
But there is one thing that belongs here
shall tell you what it Is, gentlemen
of Boston?
1 will whisper it to the mayor-he shall
send committee to England,
They shall get a grant from the Parlia-
ment, go with cart to the royal
vault-haste!
Dig out King Georges coffin, unwrap him
quick from the grave clothes, box
up his bones for a journey,
Find swift Yankee clipper-here is
freight for you, black bellied clip
Up with your anchor Shake out your
sails! Steer straight toward Boston
bay.
Now call for the Presidents marshal
again. bring out the government
cannon,
Fetch home the roarers from congress.
make another procession, guard it
with foot and dragons.
This center-piece for them:
Look! all orderly citizens-look from the
windows women.
The committee open the box, set up the
regal ribs; glue those that will not
stay;
Clasp the skull on top of the ribs, and clap
a crown on top of the skull.
You have got revenge, old buster!
The crown is come to it's own, and more
than it's own.
Stick your hands in your pockets, Jona-
than-you are made man from this
day.
You are mighty cute-and here is one of
your bargains.
