RAMBLING REMARKS.

| gotten what little they ever knew.
Wonder if they think the people have
forgotten how they paraded in 1896 on
sixteen gray hosses and one old yalle1
and damned to eternal perdition Pal
mer and Buckner and Davy Darr Fran
els and all the rest of them that had
deserted the Peerless Bryan and the
Heaven-born ratio of 10 to l.
The other day Davy Dar was making
a speech and he said it made him mad
ever time he looked at the Mansion
House in Jefferson City and saw Re-
publican Governor in it. Oh It made
him SO mad that he felt like pulling
all the hair out of his head and making
meal on ten penny nails. He just
hated Republican anyhow And
those old mossback Democrats let out
a yell that could be heard for miles
and miles and then some. Here was
| the boy for them, feller that hated
them stinkin black Republicans as bad
as they hated 'em. And as I was say
ing, them Democrats let out a yell
that could be heard for miles and miles
and their some and was heard down
here by the Taney County Democrat
and other Democrats in Taney who
joined loudly and gleefully in the
chorus. And then came still other
Democrats in Taney and says "sh-sh-,
you damphools, keep still.'' And the
noisy Democrats says What's the mat
ter with you fellers, amt you fox Davy
Darr and don't you hate them dirty
black Republicans" Then the feller
what was talking fer the pussyfoots
says yes, We are for Davy Darr and
we hate them black Republicans as
much as you do, but you see we are
running for Office here in fancy county
and we can't be elected without some
Republican votes and we can't get EN-
without making them think we love
them, and we want you fellers TO quit
telling how much we hate them"
Going back to Davy Darr, wonder
| if it really makes him as mad as he
pretends it does to see Herb Hadley
sitting up there in the Mansion House
in Jefferson City. And I wonder if it
made him mad to see that other good
Republican, VIM. Mckinley, sitting in
the White House in Washington after
he had helped put him there. / don't
believe he really got very hot IN either
case, but Dayy is running for office in
| Missouri this year and he knows how
to get the Democratic votes.
For this same Davy Darr is foxy
person. I see that his organ here in
fancy printed big picture of him last
week with some reading under it. And
that reading among other things says
AS president of the Louisiana Pur-
/ chase Exposition he conducted sue
cessfully the greatest commercial en-
terprise ever undertaken in the world"
| Oh yes, we've all heard of Davy Darr
and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Ill -
and hobnobbed with kings, queens,
Jacks and ten spots of Europe, Asia
land Africa and got them to send over
exhibits. Oh it was a great fair, al
right. That fact has been heralded to
the world far and near. And Davy,
didn't he do the handsome thing? You
know the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton wasn't paying institution. They
went throughout the city soliciting
stock subscriptions. Come On, Ladies
and Gentlemen, they cried, the more
stock you take the greater the Loser
you are and the greater benefactor you
are to St. Louis Oh it was a noble
thing to go down in ones jeans ane
dig up for the coed of ST. Louis. anc
every man, woman and child, firm o
/. corporation was given a chance to b,
noble. None were overlooked, the,
n we're invited, requested, implored an,
entreated to subscribe. But OF all i
that great city none were the equs
n of Davy. He was the largest stock
