COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
They Should RatIfy.

ton meeting. 1t ought TO- be held in
Washington; and the faithful ought
to all be called there to march in the
procession. We suggest few CARS
to lead the motley host. Itshould be
headed by two men, one the arch-con
spirator, who has brought this ruin
upon his country; the other, who sup
plemented his work with all the power
of brutal administration. We refer,
OF course, to Senator John Sherman
aud President Cleveland I,nmedi-
ately after them should march Mr..
President-elect Mckinley and Mr..
Secretary Carlisle, and a colored man
should carry beside them trauspar:
ency containing the speeches former
ly made by both, illuminated, and be-:
low should read the inscription, This
is how we felt before we sold OUT
Behind them Mr.. Speaker Reed and
Mr.. fJhauncey Depew might walk arm
In arm as faithful attorneys for the
corporations and trusts who keep
them for the good they can do. Next
behind them should come Bourke
Cochran and Archbishop Ireland rs
men who, given positions IN this
country which they never could have
cared in their own country, have
been used during the present cam
paign to deceive their co,mtrvmen
who work and who trust them be-
cause of their nationality. Then
there should be places all down the
procession for such men as Carl
Schurz and that Godkin who runs the
English paper in New York. Then
should follow the Morgan syndicate
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Belmont at the
head. and the legend ever them
should be, ave have aged immensely
during the last three months, worry
ing lest the honor and the creditor
this Nation should be tainted, We
are eonValescing now.@ Then should
come Bishop Newman and Bishop
Worthington, and all tho long array
Of today preachers Who arethe ineal
descendants OF that class of men who
in the old days, stood on street cor
ners and thanked God that they were,
not like the ruff scuff on the other
side. Behind them should be those
editors of the East, old Dana of the
Sun, Whitelaw Reed and the descend
ant Of Barabbas who presides over the
World, and the whole class Of frauds
who have assumed this year virtues
which they never had, and have pub
hshed measureless receptions TO the
people, to hurt them to their ruin.
Mr.. Carnegie, of course, will have a
place in the procession, and another
contract should be given him to make
shoddy armor for our ships, because
Il the ships are sunk, what Of it? It
will be just common American sail
ors and marines that will mostly go
down, and what il they do, just so
Mr. Carnegie can add another castle
or two to his estate in Scotland.
The ratification should not be hast
ened. Time should be given to per-
NIT these gentleman who loan money
In America to come across the sea
and partake in the festivities, and the
motto over them should be, sWe
smile at the intelligence Of the
American people. . A dozen Of us
years ago could have fixed this silver
question, and could have had all the
long array i'll front of us shouting
for the restoration of silver, but it
would have cut down our profits, and
30 we instructed the whole band,
who are attorneys, to keep on mis-
leading the American people, be-
cause as we look around the world,
this is the best country that was ever
turned to interest gatherers. And
there is still some property left, which
we intend to hopelessly involve before
we permit the people to be enGghten-
