'Tis true 'Tis true.
Prosperity he then did raid.
He knew. He knew
That he would make the people think
That free trade was the missing link"
And they all felt sad for
Billy, the wonderful boy.
The people now will make their speech
Don't fret. Don't fret
They'll talk quite plain to this young
peach.
You bet. You bet.
He'll think free silver's overdone
When he's laid out sixteen to one"
Then we'll all feel sad for
Billy, the wonderful boy.
With free trade I'VE won't do thing"
Oh. no! Oh. no!
Well give our money an honest ring.
That's so. That's so.
wen open our mills instead of our
mints,"
And Wen give our labor 'lead-pipe
cinch"
Then we'll all bid farewell
To Billy, the wonderful boy
Prosperity then will return.
'Tis clear. IT'S clear.
Mckinley will be in the firm,
To steer! To steer!
The "Ship of State" in channels true.
Her flag unfurled, Red White and
Blue"
Then Wen all feel safe with
Mckinley at the helm.
Gentlemen with vivid imaginations,
and with a certain lack of fixity of
principles, have invited us many times
into the flowery paths of dishonor, and
we have never yet followed them
Speaker Reed.
After reading one of Mr. Bryan's
demagogic addresses it is reassuring
to turn to Mr.. McKinley's statement
that 1--WE are not nation of classes,
but of sturdy, free, Independent and
honorable people, despising the dema-
gogue and never captivating to dis
honor Boston Record.
A newspaper published in an Okla
homa town, where the women recent
ly carried the election, sent the follow
ing order to supply house: Please
send us one small cut of a hen. Wo-
men carried the election here, and 1
suppose we will have to swing out a
hen instead of a rooster"
Comptroller Eckels' estimate that
Bryan will lose Illinois by 1000 votes
is of the kind which tends to dissem-
mate over-confdence. But it should
encourage the Republicans and the
honor Democrats to continue their
individual work for sound money until
the day of balloting. Nothing should
be taken for granted anywhere in this
eampaign.-Boston Journal.
Arthur Sewall of Maine is the latest
| Democratic free silver nominee who is
! found to insist on having gold in his
own private transactions. He recently
took contract for carrying four ship
loads of lumber from Maine to Long
Island City, and insisted on having it
stipulated in the contract that payment
should be made in gold. 1t was a per-
fectly legitimate transaction, but it
does not look we'll for a man who
makes a virtue of pretended opposi-
ton to the gold power.-Ex.
The Louisville Post says that Sound
money Democrats hold the balance Of
power in the Central West" and that
had the West been listened to during
the Chicago convention by the Eastern
Democrats 300 sound-money delegates
would have put a sound-money ticket
in the field and at once checkmated
the Bryan managers. But the East
could not believe it was to be much
of storm after all and so they went
home to play at politics a little
longer"
Neither w. ]. Bryan nor Mrs. Mary
! Lease seems to have the least imagin-
! able acquaintance with the moods OF
simple futurity. Even in the dullest
and plainest of sentences nothing less
than fiery imperative will suffice for
these fierce imperators Mr.. Bryan's

line his future plans land these are sub
Ject to frequent changes) is familiar
to us. Now Mrs. Lease puts herself in
the same class by declaiming: when
the future historian shall write the
story OF this campaign" Il will go to
New York" and THE historian shall
write" ought to become famous
phrases.-Boston Record.
When it became sure that Maine had
made big Republican gains the Lin
coin club procured Chambers band
and proceeded to the residence of Hon.
Thomas B. Reed and with cheers called
him out. Mr.. Reed appeared and made
brief speech in the course of which
he said: .'The star of Sewall is sink

watson is rising, but as neither of them
