A Strange Political influence.

A Strange POl1t1cnl lnHuence.
The gods mythologic were 'customed to
Ger nectar in language quite free,
And lavishly served it whenever they gave
On Olympus an afternoon tea.
But nectar would be insufficient, they
say,
Foggy Bottoms affection to win;
For society there is held close meath the
sway
OF blackberry brandy and gin.
And it lives not alone in social esteem,
But is cherished by men of affairs;
Inspiration is shed from it's rich, ruddy
gleam
Where the lamp of the council-hall
flares.
And some day a laurel will proudly be
placed
Amid triumph and popular din
On brow whose first throbbings of genius
are traced
To blackberry brandy and gin.

ForaISer's Blunder.
oEincastle Banner)

When Senator Foraker blundered mo
the statement that the reason siVer uoi-
lars were maintained at a par with goia
is because silver dollars and every other
form of United States money are re-
deemable In gold, he did a high service
for the Democratic campaign.
The impression has been given out by
every orator and organ OF the gold party
that the value Of the silver certificates
and the silver dollars was bo-stered up
by the governments promise TO redeem
them in gold.
MANY of them knew better than to say
this in so many words. but they nti-
mated it. Most OF them declared, as
Rourke Cochran did, and when the gov
eminent removed its sustaining arm
from the silver dollar, 1t would fall 10 us
present bullion value. But Senator Fora
ker's gross ignorance led him into bold
statement which admitted OF a categori-
cal denial.
The letter OF Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Curtis to Congressman Nc
Rae, stating that the government does
not redeem either silver dollars or silver
certificates in gold, disposes Of this cam
paign fraud. Neither the ignorant nor
the king orator can now dupe the voters
into believing that the present silver
dollars and certificates are good because
they are redeemable In gold.
