"In the White House there was a
voice heard, lamentation, and weeping,
and great mourning; Grover weeping
for his third term, and would not be
comforted, because it was not" fl any

ment when his tale of incompetence,
dishonesty and arrogance reaches the
fourth month of the fourth year of the
second term of King Cleveland.
When Grover heard that the silver
men would control the Kentucky Dem
ocratic Convention, he must have given
Carlisle dressing down; for that turn
coat seemed to have shrunk about six
inches in height, while his face ad
heightened about three inches. Since
the news came over the wire that
storm of Kisses had greeted every refer
ence to the Fat President in the con-
vention, Carlisle has kept out of Gro
ver's sight and lodges around the cor
ner whenever he sees fat man coming
along the sidewalk. AS I wrote last
week, Poor Old Grover
The prospects of the silver wing be-
ing in control when the Democratic
convention meets, has tendency to re-
store to healthy action the disordered
liver of the average silver Democrat
In fact, some of those who few weeks
ago were as sad as dog who has lost
his bone, are now in the same happy
frame of mind as negro who watches
a fine watermelon, ripening in his
neighbours garden. However, they must
realise that this uprising of the people
is mainly due to the agitation started
by reformers, who esteem principle
above party, and that the honest voters
who made their majorities in the past
are in revolt against the apostate Pres
ident and Cabinet officers and the |
cuckoos of the sd Congress and that
they will not de deceived again.
The people, the producers, merchants
and laborers, demand patriotic Pres
ident, not politician. Without the
endorsement of the Populist and Silver |
party, no man nominated by the Demo
Gratis can be elected. ] have heard |
many Populists in Washington say that
il the Democrats will nominate Hon.
Joseph G. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, a
union can be effected, with him as a
candidate. He was silver Democrat |
and made a great speech for silver in
the House of Representatives; he di-
vided his salary as a Congressman be-
tween the Knights of Labor, the Farm
er's Alliance and the Grange; and, dis
gusted with Cleveland Democracy, last
year announced himself a Populist.
One of CleVeland's cuckoo's, Repre-
sentative Denny, of Mississippi, has in

chase of eighteen acres of land at Con-
gress Heights for summer home for
the President, The land is to cost
100000; the buildings and identifying
of the grounds are estimated at 81, 900
900. 1t is a comfort to know that be-
fore Denny's love for Grover can be
crystalized into law, the fat mans name
will sound like that of his cuckoo, it
will be "Dennis"
There seems to be no end to the Ell
forts of property owners in the District
Of Columbia to sell their land to Uncle
Sam for some unnecessary purpose,
and each representative elected this
