McKinley’s Prayer.

Our father, who art ; n England Rothchild, be thy Lane; thy kingdom come to America, thy will be done in the United States as it is in England, give us this day our bonds in gold, but not in silver; give us plenty of laboring men’s votes to keep monoply in power and its friends in office. We know, our father, that we have done many things that were wrong; we have robbed the honest poor and brought distress to many a poor man; we know that it was wrong to refur d the bonds and make them payable in coin; we know that it was wrong to water our railroad stock, but thou knowest that we make money by that. Now, our father, thou knowest that we are above politics. It is the same with us whether Gold Democrats or Republicans rule, fn’* thou knowest we are able to sway such parties in our favor. Lead us not in the way of the common people, the farmer or laborer, and. above all. deliver us from 16 to 1. Thus shall we have the kingdom, bonds, interest, pow T er and gold, until the Republic shall end, amen.

Dar roch, an able jurist, is the nominee for jhdge, and Meade S. Hayes, a brilliant young attor ney, has the race for prosecutor. Aside from all political preferences the above gentlemen are eminently fitted for the positions to which they aspire.
