More bone;. Ring rule must cease. Down with the monarchists. The people must down the bosses. There Is no excuse for corruption in «ny party. Pride and egotism are the blindfold, f nations. More bonds, and more prosperity for die bankers. The man who knows not humanity cannot know God. That 50 cent dollar is capable of more than one application. A third term for Cleveland would mean absolute monarchy. Familiarity with its methods certainly breeds contempt of court. The fall elections will take place after the next issue of bonds. Why not settle the yacht-racing question by international agreement? No man can love his party better than his family and be a Christian. No man can love his party better han his country and be a patriot. Absolute prohibition of alien ownerhip of property in the United States. Brice and Gorman and Sherman and Cleveland make a hand that is hard to beat. Don’t love your party so hard that you will forget God, your family and humanity.

If Grover Cleveland gets a “third term” it should be a term in the penitentiary. The democrats can’t name a candidate for president who can carry his own state. An honest and brave man will vote for his principles whether his party is that way or not. Rev. Geo. D. Herron is rapidly converting the Congregational pastors to practical Christianity. The “southern question” still troubles the republicans. They are afraid of the Populists, now, ? however. The royalists have given up the fight m France. But the monarchists of America are still on top. The form of government is of no importance. The spirit in which it is administered proclaims its character. Hiring the bankers to take care of our credit is on a parity permitting a fox to take care of our chickens. The republicans and democrats in Kentucky have practically the same platform—the only variety is in her candidates. The farmers have no use for a dollar that will buy two bushels of wheat. That is the kind of 50 cent dollar that they want to shun.

Dick Bland has abandoned both forks of the old road, and advises the people to come out and make a new road. Coming to his senses. The Bank of England has honored Cleveland by hanging his. portrait up in the bank by the side of John Sherman’s. The devil perhaps did that long ago. Carlisle and Hoke Smith are being denounced this year by Democrats for changing their principles, yet most of the Democrats will vote just that way next year.. The men who are now on their regular biennial excursion up Salt river can look upon the Ohio campaign and sing with childish confidence “The Campbells are Coming.” The goldbug democrats of Nebraska bolted their party ticket. The free silver democrats haven’t got the manhood to do it. They love the party better than they do the principle. The bond syndicate announces that it is under no obligation to protect the treasury. The only obligation in the infamous contract was the obligation of the government to issue more bonds. “Honesty is the best policy”—but neither of the old parties ever constructed a platform or conducted a campaign on that policy. Therefore it is a “new-fangled crankism” to demand honesty in politics.

There are two kinds of theives that are becoming altogether too numerous in this country, and they all ought to be hung—the robbers who hold up trains and the robbers who profess to town the trains and hold up all the people along their roads. Brice leads the Ohio democrats by the nose. The democrats in that state take the gold standard this year; last year they declared for free silver. Simon says thumbs down, you know; and down they go. Oh what a beautiful thing it is to have a political boss. There was a time when Grover Cleveland denounced even a second term, and discouraged federal officers taking any part in the political affairs of their state. But that time is past. He would now take a third term and have his whole flock of cuckoos in the field.
