The Grand Old Party Elephant on

To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor OF the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, Oct. II, 19OO.-DeaI
Sir: Boys, we've got 'eml The G. o.
P. elephant is getting weaker and
more wabbly on his legs every day and
Bryan viii have so thoroughly and
effectually pulverized him before the
ldes of November that he will look a
darned sight more like jelly-fsh than
the sleek and fat old brute that he
fused to was"
We have got them on the defensive
Of every question and don't you cease
TO remember that no political party
has ever yet made a defensive fight
and won. We are going TO give old
Marcus Hanna and his combination Of
putty and India rubber man, Bill, the
g. b. Yes, and while we are about it
we will bounce them so internally
high that the blue birds will build in
their pockets before they strike the
ground.
Marcus flooded Vermont and Maine
with ''beans," campaign documents
and all Of the crack spellbinders, wind
tanners and jawsmiths he could mus
ter and then come out at the little
end Of the horn. He now feels so bad
about 1t that he goes out every morn
ing and kicks himself all over a ten
acre lot before breakfast. And even
then, after having performed this re-
markable feat, when he sits down to
his meal he has no sort Of an appetite,
for everything tastes either sour or
peppery to him now.
He's a goner and nobody knows it
better than he does himself. Now
whenever he puts either one of his
elephantine ~auricular appendages to
the ground and listens to the rumble
Of the coming great tidal wave that
will sweep across the continent from
the Atlantic to the Pacific on the
sixth of next month, he feels a cold
chill creeping down his spinal column
that soon winds up with a conniption
fit. 1t is no use, Marcus, for you to
buck any longer against the inevitable
for the tide has turned and no power
on earth can stop it.
The Republican windiammer who
now stands up on his hind legs and
talks to a crowd Of workingmen about
Mckinley prosperity and full dinner
pals displays the adamantine cheek
of a government mule, for there is not
a single workingman in the country
who has the intellect of an oyster
that does not know that the out
rageous and damnable Dingley bill
increased everything that now goes
into that dinner pail q per cent and
that his wages have not been raised.
Mark Hanna, with all Of his Doodle,
will stand no more show of carrying
this election than a cat would o. climb-
ing out of hades without claws, for
the tide has changed and everything
is coming Bryan's way and there is
victory in the air. When Gen. Sam
Houston and his Texans met and van
pushed the Mexican army under old
Santa Ana on the bloody field Of San
J~acinto, the battle cry Of the Texans
was, Remember the Alamo" And
on the sixth of next, month when the
vast army of laboring men Of this
country will meet and vanquish the
imperial and p~lutocratic army of Mark
Hanna, their battle cry will be, "Re-
member the Bull-pen at Wardner."
