THE DISSATISFIED DEMOCRAT"
FIGURES OUT A LOSS.

II tins thing isn't filed up it will soon be empty, Won
say! II es that's what | say" -
These frosty mornings make me a little hard of hearing
put l. heard that, and wondered if it was for auobt that I
had done he crowned upon the tree
oay, my friend what meanest thou? The figures he
Iuo.eu .ne iairly took my breath. Some of those figures
were vaguely familiar, but for the Democracy to view them
from the present view, distance failed to lend enchantment
to the view.
My friend said in part Look at tn. presidential vote
IN montgomery county in 1896 and then 1900. In 1896 Mr..
Bryan received 2272 votes and Mr.. Mckinley 1920
In 1910 Mr.. Bryan received 1000 and Mckinley 1866. 2272
minus 1920 leaves $50, 2OOO minus 1866 leaves Il r,yico
lot equals ooS. 2IS plus 81 equals 1853. In other words
the national ticket Our Bill of '96 lost 21S votes in Mont
gomery county in four years. The Democratic papers of the
county claimed that Mr.. Bryan was stronger than ever in tbe
county and reasoning along the same line the man who fills
his shoes four years hence will have a nice snug majority of
81 enrolled up against him. Eyes, but you must remember
that MIR. Bryan forgot to make any speeches in the county. y
"But just look atthe talent he had representing him {"
Wen there was "A big falling off in the vote. | will proceed
to locate.
2272 minus 2 900 equals 272.
1920 minus 1866 equals 81.
In other words Mr.. Bryan was worth S2372 in 1896 and
only $1,000 in 1900. Perhaps he let his stock run down pre-
paTatory to taking an invoice
Mr.. Mckinley was worth only $54 less in 1900 than in
'96. Mr.. Bryan's decrease was over 800 per cent greater
than Mckinley's. Did you see anything of my breath? If
you fluid it mail it to me at once please.
Both sides conceded the vote to be 200 short. The
Democrats claimed a majority of $50 and the highest maiori-
ty they got was li9. Now it is unreasonable to think that
$50 Democrats went hunting on election day.
| have come to the conclusion that they were so busy
they could not be located, or else they were never in sight.
My efforts and those of Chips in this election availed not a
great deal, but just wait. My feeble heart can't stand any
more strain so / will talk of the woes of my brethren. What
a pity we are compelled to consult township lines when we
run for office, but such is the lot of man.
Have you ever heard of that movement for a delegated
convention? We knocked it in the head once down at New
Florence, but then it has continued to be discussed and there
will be much discussedness both pro and con before it is
settled.
| am getting sleepy my friends, but before | close l
want to inform you that l am a weather prophet and even as
it froze the night after the last election so will it snow on
the same night two years distant, in the year of our Lord
1902.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1900-11-30

Deputy Sheriff Charley Mccall says that he posted the
notices of election on the removal of the court house in every
town in the county. From what Chips had to say last
week, it would ssem that none had been posted at Middle
town. Now, it is about time for New Florence to say none
were posted there. Still the Leaders modesty may prevent
us from hearing from Florence.
