(Cheers.) Feller sitizens, in makin' this
grait sacrifize, I want tu sa I du it with
du appresiashun uv the onerous dutize
uv the offis tu whitch I—I mene mi
frends, hav asked me tu aspire. You
want tu kno, uv korse, be4 you 'oat
fur me what mi politix iz. I want tu

hain't gittin' tired
Diznes. If it wuzen't fur bein' shtruff
I'd leev the dod dratted party. It
hain't no longer a solid falanx like it
wuz when I cooden't git the nomina-
ahun fur nuthin': Now when I kin git
the nominashun fur a good offis, ti a
air quarllin' and fussin' like dogs and
kats. I never wuz so puzzeled tu kno
how tu bee a Democrat in mi life.
Thare hain't no recete nor formulay
that will sute aul okkashuns. God
knose I tri tu bee a Demikrat, Xur I
want tu be sheruff so bad, but it maiks
me swet. The trubbel now iz I don't
kno whitch kind uv a Demikrat tu be.
Thar iz tu mi nollege ninetene kinds uv
Dimikrats, az toilers:
The goldbug Demlkrata,
The tree silver Demlkrata,
The national bank Demikrats,
The government issue Demikrata,
The high tariff Demikrats,
The low tariff Demikrats,
The tariff fur revenu Demikrats,
The fre traid Demikrats,
The bond lshuln' Demikrats,
The anti-bond lshuln' Demikrats,
The home rool Demikrats,
The federal tropes Demikrats,
The grenebak Demikrats,
The hard munny Demikrats,
The "my daddy wuz" Demikrats,
The inkum tacks Demikrats,
The no Inkum tacks Demikrats.
The phool Demikrats whoo don't
want offis.
The smart Demikrats whoo duz.
Thare ma be sum uther varietize.
but I kan't think uv them now, and I
hoap tha won't git offended bekoz I
fale tu menshun thalr partikular va-
riety. , ,
Now what puzzels me 17. whair did
aul these varletize kum frum? Tl.a
coodent kum frum the saim ansestars,
and It looks like sumboddy haz bin
goin' awa frum hoam and krosstn' the
brede. Tha hain't no differents bc-
twene sum uv theze Demikrats and the
Repubiikans. If sum uv our leeders
hain't bin sleepin' with Republikan
harlots then I hain't no Judg uv oph-
spring, and kan't tell a mulatter frum
a ful bludded nigger, whitch I think I
kin. .
Thare wuz a time when you cood tel
a Demikrat bl the wa he talked, but
now you haf tu see him voat be4 you
kin kno. The only sines left uv old
Demokrasy that kin be rekonized with-
out identyfikashun lz our luv fur lik-
ker and our Inklinashun tu kuss the
Repubiikans.
Under theze tryln' surkeinstanses 1t
Iz very difflkult tu run fur offis with
enny kind uv satlsfakshun.
When a man runs fur offis he iz ®x-
' pekted to sa sumthing. In order tu git
tu bee sheruff I cood kepe mi mouth
,hut and be a ninetene-sided Demikrat,
but tu talk enny tu speek uv and sute
iuI kinds uv Demikrats iz a fete that lz
bard tu du. 1 hav bin thinkin' over
what kind uv a speach I woo£ mailt
In this kampane, and have rit out what
• I am goin' tu sa. I think it will klver
aul kinds uv Demikrats and not maik
enny uv 'em mad. *Here lz ml speach
in substants:
uau KU 111 III l '4 II •> rr„ „
uv this politix ! gold standard I want tu sa when fobe
Spilkins iz sheruff, he wil let you pa
yoor fines and taxes in gold. (Not mutch
applauze.) Tu the fre silver men, you
kin pa yoor's in silver, and the paper
munny men kin pa thair s In paper
munny. (Applauze.) And tu the men
whoo hain't got enny munny at aul. I
want tu sa I wil talk the taxes in koon
skins and heffers. (Auftul site uv ap-
plauze.) Feller sitizens, I stand with
you aul on the tariff. (Applauze.) I
beleev In a hi tariff on sum things, a
low taruff on sum things, and fre traid
in sum things, and what tariff we ha\e,
adjusted fur revenu only. (Tremen-
dous applauze.) I'm oppozed tu nash-
nul banks (applauze) eggscept when we
think It iz nessessary (applauze). I'm
oppozed tu the ishue uv bonds (ap-
plauze) only when we nede munny.
(Cheers.) I'm in faver uv home rool
fur Demikrats (appluaze) and federul
trupes fur the Repubiikans and Popu-
lists. (Wild and enthusiastic applauze.)
I'm in faver uv them whoo wants an
inkum tacks a liavln' it (applauze) and
them whoo don't want it not havin it.
(Applauze.) My daddy wuz a Demikrat
(applauze) and I never scratched a tick-
et in mi life. (Great eggscitement and
loud cheering.) I luv the grand old
Demikratick party (applauze) with its
brilyant rekord and eminent staltsmen.
(Applauze.) I wil never see its banner
traled in the dust. (Loud cheers.) It's
a grand old party. (Cheers). It's got
more prinsiples on tap than enny other
party ever thought uv. (Cheers.) It
stands reddy tu reseev ennyboddy that
wants tu kum intu its shelterin' fold,
and it don't maik enny differents what
he beleevs. (Cheers.) Wo have taken
out patents on ninetene kinds of Dem-
ikrats and have patents for seven moar
kinds applide fur. (No applauze.) Let
every Demikrat du hiz duty. Boys,
stand bl the grand old party wants
moar. Let us voat 'er strate. Let the
3eeride ranks kloze up and form a solid
falanx whose majestick tred kin be
heerd from the rok bound shores uv
Nu Ingland tu the golden gait uv Kal-
iforny, and from the shimmerln' laiks
tu the Gulf uv Mecksiko. Let the band
pla." (Loud and prolonged cheering.)
You see, I hav insurted the "cheers"
and "applauze" at the proper plaises.
and when I am malkin' mi speach and
kum tu them I maik a sine tu the uther
kandydalts, and tha start the applauze.
I think this iz the best plan, az you
air aulwaze shure uv the applauze and
git It right whair It lz needed, and
whair you want It. If that speach don't
fetch 'em I don't kno what wil. It
don't seme tu me like ennyboddy cood
find enny fait with It.
Seniter Jones and Guvernor Clark iz
bavin' a talkln' match in mi stait now.
Tha both want tu be senlters. Clark
kin beet Seniter Jones a spittin', and
kin hold him a purty level rase a prom-
Isin' good things tu the peeple, but I
don't think Clark kin beet Jim Jones,
becoz Jim haz a bigger salary tu rpend
than Clark. I hoap I'll git tu bee sher-
uff. Yours til the kows kum home.

Goldline Praise for ropull.t".
The following encomium from the
goldbug Oregonian on the populist
party will make thousands of votes for
the army of reformers in the coming
elections:
"For the free-silver man, whether he
pretends to be a republican or demo-
crat, there is no logical stopping place
or ground to stand on short of the popu-
list camp. There is where he belongs,
for the populist party is the only part/
that has committed itself on any na-
tional platform to free coinage of silver.
When, therefore, men who insist on
free coinage of silver like Hon. C. P.
Yates, of Washington county, and Hon.
Sylvester Pennoyer, of Multnomah
county, take formal leave of the repub-
lican and democratic parties and cast
their lot with the populist organization,
they do a logical, necessary and
straightfoi ward thing. The populist
party Is the silver-money party."
Wo seldom have an opportunity to
copy the truth from any of Rothschild's
organs; but the Oregonian, of March
5, 1896, admits the fact that there is
no room in the army of avarice, flaunt-
ing the banner of the demo-republican
combination, for an honest silver man.
No one can serve in either of Roths-
child's political parties without leaving
country, home, liberty, prosperity and
happiness behind. It is only the cap-
tains and generals, the bosses and cor-
ruptionists of the two old parties, who
live upon the fat of the land and enjoy
the crumbs which fall from the table
of gold aristocracy. Honest men In
the ranks of gold monopoly are as
much out of place as Christians obey-
ing the commands of the father of lies
who offered to the Savior of mankind
as large a bribe as the kings of avarice
ever offered for the worship and sub-
mission of the masses to the rule of
the classes. What honest man can view
universal distress in a country of un-
bounded resources and Inhabited by
seventy millions of the most enterpris-
ing and energetic .people on earth,
without indignation against the con-
spirators who produced the ruin? When
the Oregonian says that the populist
party Is the only party against hard
times, is the only party that repudiates
alien rule, is the only party that is
opposed to bonded slavery, is the only
party that is in favor of preserving vhe
institutions of America, Is the only
party of liberty, truth and equal rights,
it commends the populist party In lan-
guage of eulogy which cannot be sur-
passed. If It be true, that the populist
party is the only party in favor of
Americans ruling America, and against
the subjugation of this country to the
English gold standard, and the oppres-
sion and extortion of the agents and
emissaries of the mother country, what
name is there in the English language
which shines brighter and is more em-
blematic of our institutions than the
name "Populist," which is already
glorious by the enemies It has made?
The commendation of the Oregonian
has removed every objection that any
honest man can have to Join the popu-
lists in a common cause against the
iniquities which the Oregonian cher-
ishes, and for which it lives and has
Its being.
Don't be alarmed, Mr. Oregonian, the
silver men and populists, and all other
good men, will get together to fight
your kind and every other kind who
are In favor of the enemies of the re-
public. You have drawn the line be-
tween honest American citizens and
Tory corruption!sts of the gold stand-
ard. The people will take you at your
word.—8ilver Knight.
Both the old parties are in favor of
"control" of railroads: the Omaha plat-
form favors ownership, and when It
was put there it was supposed to be
Senator Blackburn has been away 1
from his post of duty for three months 1 *^VVO
trying to have •himself re-elected as I
Bf-nator from Kentucky. During; this
time his salary has been going on at
the rate of $400 or $500 a month, which
the people have to pay. Likewise
Senator Jones has been spending con-
siderable time In Arkansas to the end
of strengthening his political fences. It
seems now that when a man Is once
elected to congress Ills sole object and
greatest ambition is to keep right on
succeeding himself.
* • •
This Is all right but he should maki
his record In congress such that the
people could not see their way clear to
sparo him or exchange for another. As
it Is the average congressman has to
go home and explain things to his con-
stituents and indulge In the usual de-
nunciations of the other fellows. A
machine that needs to be constantly
greased Is a poor excuse at any rate.
Think of a Webster, a Clay, or a Cal-
houn going home during the session of
congress to toot their own horn for
re-election. Verily American statesman'
ship has the dry rot.

We have before us a report for the
agricultural department. It shows tho
corn crop of 1894 to be 65,582,000 acres,
from which was gathered 1,212,770,000
bushels, worth $554,719,000. The crop
of 1895 was 80,075,830 acres, from which
was gathered 2,151,139,000 bushels,
worth only $567,509,000. In other words
15,000,000 acres more In area, with
about 950,000,000 more bushels, In 1895,
only brought $13,000,000 more money
than the crop of 1894. There s noth-
ing like having something to sell, you
know. With oats the farmer fared
worse. He received about $50,000,000
less for 824,444,000 bushels in 1895 than
he did for 662,086,929 bushels in 1894.
The farmer has been producing on a ,
falling market for twenty-five years, |
while the money lenders' crop has been
advancing In value. And the former j
has been voting for so-called honest
dollars instead of honest bushels.
• * •
Soon after the present congress met
Congressman Joe Cannon, speaking of
what would likely be accomplished,
said:
"There'll be a lot of flddlin' an' talk-
in' an' resolutin", an' investigatin an
bluffin' an' makin' faces, an' playtn'
buncombe, an' flrln' the popular heart,
but when we get through we'll find we
have not done a blamed thing but pass
the appropriation bills."
And this is Just what congress has
been doing and is doing, and is all It
Intends to do.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat Is wor-
ried over the action of the southern re-
publicans. In a recent issue It says:
"If the southern republicans would
fight the democrats with as much
energy as they fight one another, their
party would have more reason to point
to them with pride."
The trouble with the southern repub-
licans is that they have nothing to
fight for but spoils and there Is not
enough of that to go around. The re-
publicans in the south Btand about as
much show as a one-legged man would
in a foot-race.
Of course there are a few localities
where they succeed In electing county
officers. But it only results In another
set of men drawing the salaries. When
a republican president is elected the
Federal pie counter Is also open to as-
pirants—and there's no dearth of them.
Then during a presidential year a dele-
gate's vote in worth something. It has
a market value—sometimes It has two
of them. Of course the south Is not ex-
pected to furnish a single electoral vote,
but all presidential aspirants look to
the southern field as a more or less
profitable one to Invest what spare cash
he has. It is sometimes reported that
the man who buys last buys best. This
Is perhaps the reason there Is so much
wrangling among the southern republl-
cans. , . .
Ex-Gov. Campbell has warned the
democratic party of the dangers which
beset It. "I say it with firmness," he
exclaims, "for It Is my unqualified be-
lief that should the party be split at
the Chicago convention. It will then and
there meet Its death." It was In the
national democratic convention in 1892
that Henry Watterson said that If
Cleveland was nominated the party
would "march through the slaughter
house to an open grave." The slaughter
house scene has been experienced, and
now In the defection in the party which
promises a split at the Chicago conven-
tion, Is the "open grave" which Gov.
Campbell sees. But how to avoid it ti
the question. Cleveland, Carlisle and
Co. are riding the party with a rough
spur. It Is being lnsheu along the gold
standard road at a furious rate. Sena-
tors Jones, Vest. Harris and others, It
Is true, have bound themselves to tha
flying chariot, and declared their pur-
pose to follow It to the jumping-off
place. But there are Tillman, Bryan
and others who are not so pliable. The
question now is will they bolt the Chi-
cago convention? And what Influence
will It have on the rank and file if they
do?
