| Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In the White House there Is a voice
heard, Iamentation, and weeping, and
great mourning; Grover weeping for
| his third term, and would not be com
forted, because it was not" If any
penny a-Iiner ever tries to put a Life Of
| Grover Cleveland on the book market,
| he will have TO make the above state
ment when his tale Of inconp tence,
dishonesty and arrogance reaches the
fourth month OF the fourth year of the
second term of King Cleveland.
When Grover heard shat the silver
men would control the Kentucky Dem
| ocratic Convention, he must have gwen
Carlisle a pressing down, for that turn
coat seemed to have shrunk about six
inches in height, while his face had
lengthened about three inches. Since
the news came over the wire that q
| storm of Kisses had greeted every refer
ence to the Fat President IN the CON
vention, Carlisle has kept out Of
Growers sight and lodges around the
corner whenever he secs a fat man
coming along the sidewalk. As wrote
last week, Poor Old Grover!
The prospects of the silver wing be-
ing in control when the Democratic con
vention meets, has a tendency to re
store to healthy action the dis0rdered
liver of the average silver Democrat.
In fact, some Of those who a few weeks
were as a deg who has lost his bone,
are now in the same happy frame Of
mind as a negro who watches a fine
watermelon ripening in his neighbours
garden. However, they must realize
that this uprising Of the people is main
~ due to the agitation started by re-
formers who esteem principle above
party, and that the honest voters who
made their mejorities in the past are
10 revolt against the apostate President
and Cabinet officers and the cuck0os
of the SD Congress, and that they will
not be deceived again.
The people, the producers, merchants
and Iaborers, demand a patriotic Presi-
dent, not a politician. Without the
dorsement of the Populist and Silver
party, no man nominated by the Dam
oCrats Can be elected. ] have heard
Voo~v D0~yVlSrkr IN TTnoLSo~S@0 49,
that if the Democrats will nominate
Hon. JosephC. Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
a union can be effected with him as
candidate. He was a silver Democrat,
and made a great speech for silver in
the House of Representatives; he di
vidCd his salary es Congressman be
tween the Knights of Labor, the Farm
ers' Alliance and the Grange; and, dis
gusted with Cleveland Democracy last
year announced himself q Populjst.
One of Clevel9nd's cuckoos, Repre-
sentative D5nny, of Mississippi, has
introduced a bill providing for the pur-
chase of &C es of land at Congress
Heights for @ sUmme home fer the
President. The land is to cost 800, 600;
the building and beautifyiDg of grounds
are estimated at 81 900, 90. 1t is a
comfort to know that before Denny's
love for Grover can be c~rystalized into
Law the fat mans name will sound like
that of his cuckoo, it will be 'D1nnis."
There seems to be no end to the efforts

Columbia to sell their land to Uncle
Sam for some unnecessary purpose,
and each representative elected this
year should be pledged to oppose such
raids upon the public purse, the more

has doubled it's population aud has a
preponderance of voting strength-the
capital will be- removed to some central
point near st. Louis. Il is ridiculous
that it should be so close to the eastern
shore, and policy dictates thatit should
be at least one thousand miles from the
twin dangers of the republic. the war
ships of England and the corruptionists
Of Wall street.
What will be done with the present
government buildings, some may asks
The present disposition need not be
changed. The capitol building can be
used for a lunatic asylum, the treasury
as a home for incapacIes and the White
House as a Jail for corrupt cm3ials.
The B Itler anti bond Issue bill passed
