They ought to be herded oft in some mighty subterranean cavern where they can-keep company with eyeless fish and blind bats. They are out of their sphere here on this beaur tiful, sun-lit earth. The Socialists, Populists, and Dem ocrats are all on about the 'same pun cheon. The reason that we skin the Democrats most, is because there are a few more of them. A tallow-legged man could wade through the molten lakes of Hades and come out whole just about as easily as . this country could pass through the hands , of either of the above trilogy without looking like it had been . in a dog fight. " The Democratic party would have died with Its loudly-bemoaned "lost cause" if it had not been for the negro.

It revives their drooping spirits, you know. :'::v- :. If. there is such a thing as heaven ly recognition, we'll bet that Thom as Jefferson wears a long face when W. J.

About the. only thing Tex as can claim now rightfully is, that her registration lists contain the names of many ' dead heroes, who, althovthey are very dead, vote the Democratic ticket as regularly v as elections come around and help jo swell her Democratic majority.
