Let's see, didn't a lot of little
country republican sheets say
something about the wave of pros
perity that would follow the cleo
ton of Mckinley? Mckinley
that magic name-would restore
confidence at once and the
wheels of industry would fairly
tear themselves to pieces they
would run SO fast. Has the
"wave' arrived? No, not even a
ripple! And now these same rep
ublican papers are telling the gen
tie people to wait till Mckinley
gets in Office. Well, the people
havn't much else to do but wait
and in all probability they will
hold this same linden .ical Job for
the next four years.
