Pray tell us, kind stranger, oh,
where IS he at-that political
freak. the gold democrat; has he
gone down to Cuba, Porto Rico
Orwell, kind stranger, won't you
come right out and tell? He used
to be noisy, two short years ago;
in boasting of numbers he wasn't
SO slow; but tell US, kind stranger,
now where is he at,-that political
freak, the gold democrat. Bryan
ism lives on, to bother its foes;
how republicans hate it the Lord
only knows; but what we are ask
ing is: where is he at,--that freak
OF all freaks, the gold democrat.
Dead, did you say? then peace to
his carcas; We'll let him rest easy
as 'willin' as Barkis;' thanks, stran-
ger, thanks, now we knowwhere
he's at; in the deep, murky soup
rests the gold democrat. And the
editor escaped without a scratch!

Well, the first campaign fake
Sprung by the disciples Of s'nation-
al honor has about run it's course.
They charged Gov. Lee with the
statement that Grigsby's cowboy
regiment was a disgrace to the
state. OF course, the governor
never said anything of the kind.
What he did say was that Grigsby
himself was a disgrace to the state
and the governor, Judging from
Grigsby's past record, was about
right. If he redeems himself in
the service Of his country The
UNION will say, call honor to
Grigsby and his cowboys" How
ever, Grigsby's own son admits
the 'taccumulative' proclivities of
his father and when asked if he
intended serving in the cowboy
regiment he answered yes, that it
would "pay to stand in with the
old man, for he would steal a
whole plantation before the war
was over Such a nan is GER
tainly not much credit to the state
and the governors peculiar habit
Of calling things by their right
names is what has stirred up the
animals in the republican menag-
erie.

GONE TO THEIR LONG REST

GONE TO THEIR LONG REST.
The "National Democracy" ap-
pears to have gone to where the
political surges cease TO roll, where
the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest. Tomb
like in its gloom is the silence that
pervades the political resting place
Of these late lamented assistants of
S Hanna. By all this we mean
that the Palmer. Buckner fasco of
1896 IS an unknown quantity, po-
litically speaking. Such heroes (D
as Henri Watterson and Dave Hill,
and Grover Cleveland, who at one
time oficiated as chairman of the
Amalgamated Association OF Duck
Shooters and Sucker Anglers, have
hauled down the yellow flag of
Hannaism and crept back into the
democratic kennel. The Bryan
democracy is very much alive.
The so-called "National Democra-
cy" very much dead. Its mem
bers have gone to that bourne
from which no traveller returneth.
Let silence be their epitaph as OBJ
livion is their fate.

SHOCKING FATALITY.

News of a horrible accident that oc-
CURED about two miles east OF Flush
ing, Ohio, reached Bridgeport late Sat-
urday evening.
A dead body, identified as that OF
Charles Cecil, coal miner was found
on one side of the C. L. & w. tracks.
The head, which was some distance
away. had been completely cut from
the shoulders. It has later been re-
ported that Cecil had ben drinking and
it is supposed that in walking along
the railroad he became drowsy from
the effect Of the liquor and laid down
on the track. Exactly what train
struck him is not known, nor was any
blood found on any of the engines Of
trains that would pass at that time.
The crews of trains that would hap
pen along at that time say that ii they
struck anything they were not aware
Of it.

that should he be consulted, he would

that the sailors stood with four broad
