ter condition than he is in or in
smoother and less dangerous paths
than he il walking in. There seems
to be madness for office, and the
only questions heretofore have been
"What is his politics? Has he got
plenty of money" How shocking!
how disgusting to lovers of liberty
and an honest and patriotic people !
1t bellies the constitution, which
says all men shall be equal. 1t be-
lies true Democracy or true Repub-

into such compact should take
warning by the inscription written
over the door of the Inferno:
"Whoever enters here leaves all
truth and honor behind" Amid
all this gloom there appears ray
of hope. There never was a time
when political names set 80 loosely
as now, and the hopes Of a free
people are when men reason out
the right and when We put principle
above party and God above all.
There is one question that is of
vital importance to the Government
and the people. Do the people
rule? Not a bit of it. We play
the bind horse on the tramp wheel,

to say, do not rule. What a dark
page in history to be handed down
