“REPUBLICAN TIMES.”

THE G. O. P. IS NOW ON TRIAL. With the Certainty of * Rrpabl'ena Homs gad Se ate After March, Hu«lcess Even Grow* V.o. » j TUaa Memo** racy Made It, v [Oklahoma State.l The following is the sweet refrain fhtft comes into the office of the State every afternoon. Going, going, last 1 call, “fine span of mules, $25, going, last call, sold for $26”! These are good honest republican dollars, twenty-six of them buy a pair of mulea “Going, last call, horse, harness and cart for $13.25, going, going last-call, and sold for $13.35.’’ Honest dollars; thirteen and one quarter of them buy a horse, wagon and her* nesa . Vote therepublican and democratic tickets you whelpT, 1 -“ going, last call, a fine 2-yoar-old filley,' all sound and going for $7. “Last call and sold for s7.*’ It takes a 2-year-old filly to get seven of them. Which wry did you vote at the last election you p or devil of a farmer who excluin-ed the 2-year-old Alley for seven honest dollars. “Going, going, third and last call, a fine horse and saddle sound in every limb and a good riding pony. Going, last cpll and sold for $3.75” good honest dollars; none of your silver basis about them. It is only the horses that are on the silver basis. Vote that way you whelps; vote for an honest gold dollar and put your horses upon a silver basis. 1 And the above scenes can be seen every day, and are seen by 200 farmers of Oklahoma county, and the poor devils look on as though it was a huge joke on the poor devil who is compelled to make the sacrifice. The other day a mule sold for sl7 and dropped his ears in shame to think that he was worth so little. Bat MO farmers stood by and it did not cause a blush of shame to come over their cheeks. The mule had sense to know that the transaction was a devilish shame. The poor dupes of farmers had not sense enough to know it. They belong to the yellow dog crowd t.h*>t “vote the ticket 1 straight;” one of them voted as he shot; another one of them was born a democrat, his father was a democrat, and his father’s father was a democrat and he sucked democratic milk* and to tell the truth he was still a calf; and when night came they all went home to raise tnules to bsyl honest dollars, the kind of which it takes a mule to get seventeen. Anti when election day comes we have tt pit our intelligent votes against at animal of that kind—not the mult but the man —and they call this popn lar government.
