iPolitlpal rbTerbs!i - The policy of democracy ,.v paupcic i.ac masses: but the joy of republicanism 1?fto give the people work. ; A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, uut Ajoeoei went on anon was punished. pass- eth away and another issue is taken up, but Protection remain eth as firm as a How much better it have full dinner pails rock is to than free soup, and to be enjoy ing prosperity rather than coining free silver? The wise man seardheth out the cause and layet 1 the blame where it belongs but the fool packeth it all on Mark Hanua. The promises of democrat ic politicians smell like a fish factory in June; but the fulfillment of republican pledges has made the p eople happy. The promises of the demo crats are perfect in their own eyes; but the republicans look upon their evil deeds. A partizan election l . an abomination to a republi can; but a chance to steal a vote erives the democratic politician delight. m m m m . . m m While the republicans are in authority the people re "ioice: but when Cleveland ruled the people drank soup, mourned and wore rags. u Luc Lreasury uuuci ic- publicaq rule there is much gold; but the democrats had to obtain revenues by selling bonds. An American negro is an abomination to a democrat: but he looks upon a Fi! ipino savage with smiling lips. A party that makes an honest fight shall receive fa vors of the people; but they that throw rotten eggs shall eventually be cast aside. Republicans withhold not good from them to whojm it is due; but Bryan charges for the fruit of hi s mouth. Keep the ballot box a i j r m i. pure peo- anu m toe nanas or tne pie; for out of it are the is sues of liberty. A good democrat is an honor to Jefferson hut the modern ghost dancer and "imp" yelper is a roaring farce. jn. Kjyjyj. name is rilLner LO be chosen than great ri ches; but the democratic politician doesn't hesitate to make false promises to try to get office.

I'm a democrat. .1 I'm a democrat after the improved modern type. I haint got no principles. Don't want any. My dad was a democrat. That's the reason I'm one. I voted for Cleveland twice and for.Bryan once. I used to be a gold demo crat. I'm an anti-imperialist democrat now, whatever that means. I don't know what sort of a democrat I'll be next year I don't know which string the boss will pull. You see I'm anything to please the boss. If he tells me black is white or a yaller dog 's a man, I'll swear to it and lick the stuffin' out of the man who disputes it. When the boss takes snuff I sneeze; when he said free silver I said so too; when he said no expansion I expand ed my lungs fit to bust and yelled against expansion. Dad blast the republican party; it haint no account anyway. It's in favor of im perialism, so the boss sez, and it's a shooting the Fill- hell-if -I-knows without their consent. Dad gum McKinley, he's for a Protective tariff. I don't want no tariff in mine. Give me everything free free licker, free-trade, free clothes and a free ride the band wagon. in I know the republicans are tyrants, and believe in trusts, imperalism and gold money and lots of other 6ad things, 'cause I read it in the paper and the boss sed so too. Bryan is my honey suckle. He's agin McKinley and Mark Hanner and trusts an4 imperialism and Protection and everything else that the rads are for. I aint ashamed'of my poli tics cause I've always been a democrat. Democrats are nice folks, you can't rub that out. They represent the brains and intelligence of the country. We are no scrub stock. We believe in disfranchising niggers and poor white trash, wearing: red shirts and sneer ing the radicals so they wont go out to the election, and it we can't skeer them off before they vote we can steal their votes and git 'em then. All I want is straight licker. and a straight ticket. That gives me a chance to cuss the rads and call them the nigger party and Mark Hanner s pups and imperial ists and sich like. I don't know a blamed thing about anti-imperialism nor any of the issues. It's none of my business. The boss says my job is to cuss the rads, and when he says ' cuss I cuss; when he says holler, I holler; when he says vote, I vote. That's democracy. Dad gum the trusts. Dad gum McKinley. Dad gum Mark Hanner. Dad DEMOCRATIC PRAYER. Oh Lord, Thou who ruleth over nations and giveth with a lavish hand unto them that ask of Thee, we come unto Thee in this the hour of our sadest trial, and beg and be seech Thee to give us that which we desire above every thing else. Thou knowest our hearts and the innermost thoughts thereof. Thou knowest that we have an un- controlable itching for office. Thou knowest, too, that we can't touch the good things of office with a forty-foot pole unless we can get some more democratic votes. Thou knowest, too, that we can't get the votes unless we can harmonize the party. Lord, then, give us a little more harmony. Enable us to bring the silver democrats and the gold democrats to gether, so that we may all stand on the same platform and preach the same gospel and sing the same song. Therefore we pray thee that thou wilt enable us, by the cry of imperialism and other bogaboos, to cre ate alarm in the hearts of the people until they wilL turn away from McKinlev like a wild mule from a horsje fiddle and fairly tumble over one another in their wild rush to the Bryan band wagon. Grant that their ears may hearken to our sore distress, and that we may be lifted up out of the Slough of Despond and elevated to a high place at the festal board of public office. Thou knowest, Lord how our souls yearn for pie. O, blessed pie, the north star of one earthly hopes. Help us to make the peo ple believe that it would be an act of the loftiest duty to elect us to office. Convince them, O Lord, of the quiet peace that would come over our souls as we draw our salaries and contemplate that life is one grand s weet song. O Lord, we acknow ledge that we have said many bitter things against our brother democrats who believe in sound money. Lord, we are now willing to take back anything and everything we have ever said against them, , and march arm in arm with them. We acknowledge, O Lord, that we have been very wicked. We know that we have stolen votes in many of the Southern and Western states. We know that we secured the election of the democratic ticket in North Carolina the 2nd of Aug. by threats, intimida tions and ridicule. We know that we wore redshirts and rode about over the country with Winchesters in the late campaign. Thou knowest that we call ourselves the white man's party, but, that we steal all the live ones we can get and even voted dead ones down in Alabama. As the'hart pant eth for the water brook so do we pant for the nigger that votes the democratic ticket. We confess, Lord, that we have done many WICKea tmngs m my J J.1 -1.1 Zlm4- have killed any niggers or ftfth renuhlicank sav we H5d. Wemav have scared a few to death. But we do know that we have done many wicked things in thy sight.

Help us to make the people forget our record as we stand up and cry out at the imp. Give us the power of wisdom in splecting our promises, so that the people will stand by us once more.
