Of all the Cheap balderdas

Of all the cheap balderdash
appearing in the columns of the
republican press of the day, we
regard that which processes to
believe that the democratic par
ty, or any respectable portion
of the party, favor the nominal
ton of Grover Cleveland to a
third term to the Presidency as
a huge joke, used merely to FIJI
space in their paper. Grover is
not in favor with the Democrat
ic party, and no contingency
could arise by which he could
be made the candidate of the
party. That he is an able man
few will deny, but that he is a
Democrat many do not believe.
If it was a question of choice
between Cleveland and Roose-
welt, but few true democrats,
especially in the west, who as a
choice would fail to support Mr..
Roosevelt, prefering an honest
Republican to a doubtful demo-
crat. And again, we believe
the democratic party, as a party,
are unalterably opposed to "a
third term, no difference how
exalted the man.
If our republican friends could
be induced to attend to their
own political Emitting" leav-
ing the democracy to make the
selection of candidates for their
own party, it woul be more sat-
isfatory to both parties. Try it.

some distance on the ties, finally
striking a guard rail at a curve
and jumping back on the track
