GKOUGK FRANCISTKAIX is in Chicago ngaiii and once more the papers devote largo space to interviews with him. IIo thinks ho was treated well in'Omahu and he is not backward in comparing , the hospitality of the two cities. Till ! hcapegru-ces who scut the bottle of ink mill gunpowder to Chief Justice Waite are not deserving of the least clemency.

NICHOLAS SMITH , who mar ried Grcoley's daughter , way at one time accounted the handsomest man in America , nnd ho lived homo years on Ills appearance. Now , however , there Is a whole menagerie of wolves before liis door and his family are supported by cluirity. ACCOKDIMI to sv law recently en acted in Now York free libraries nro entitled to an appropriation of $5,000 for the first 75,000 volumes circulated. This will no doubt createa. boom among tlio libraries of the Empire htate , but tbe policy of this sort of in centive is questionable. It will not bo iv dilUuult matter for the librarians to load their bholves-with cheap literature- and there is too much of that in circula tion already. Tin : Consolidated Cattle Growers' convention asked congress to compen sate owners of cattle compelled to vacnto government lands if "it should bo found they wcro located on territory in good faith , and , us they suppo-od.under color of law. " That is , they want to bo in demnified because they supposed , they hud a color of a right to be where they are. If this is not "check" what is ? Lolnnd Stanford could hardly burpass this. Tin : letter of Mayor Hewitt of Now York , denouncing newspaper bosses , BocMiis to have commended itself to the unqualified approval of President Cleveland - land , who sent his congratulations to the author. Perhnpt this simple cir cumstance will incline Mr. Hewitt to fcul more kindly than ho is understood to have done toward Mr , Cleveland. But the Worlil keeps right on hammerIng - Ing away with redoubled zeal for Nicoll , nnd if he should bo elected that paper will have ii great deal of fun with the president and the mayor. TIUHK : is no valid reason why the re publican county ticket should in any way sulTer by Mayor Drontch'B order closing the fcaloowi on election day , be tween the hours of 8 a. m. nnd 0 p. in. While this- order is a now departure for Omaha it ia an. old custom in nearly all the largo cities of the country. In New York city , where the democrats have the municipal government , the law closing silicons on election day has for years boon rigidly enforced. Oinnlm is without n registration law , and there is liable to bo much disorder during the election. The closing of the saloons is therefore in keeping with the prevail ing aoiitlmont in this community in favor of n fair , Eobor , nnd unbought election. X society is beginning to discuss posulble changes , and innova tions during the coming winter. The eocml season proper does not begin , we believe , until after the .holidays , but all preliminaries nro arranged in ad vance of the holidays , HI far as it IB practicable. Mrs. Cleveland is of course the arbiter , and although hlio has thus fi\r \ ruled with llttlo show of authority , allowing the social current to move along in the accustomed cluuincl , it is not unlikely she will introduce soiuo re forms the coming winter. One is al ready assured in the abandonment of low-nock dresses. Mrs. Cleveland 1ms never approved this style , and it i un derstood that they will no longer bo in voguo. Tills will bo a victory for mod esty that can bo heartily commended. Whltlicrnro "W > Cnir voo , III , Nov. 4. Qiptaln Ulnck nnd I. . . S. Oliver , of the amnesty association , to day tufted Mayor Hoclio for permission to circulate a jiutitlon at tlio street corners In voking executive clrmciiry in bclmlf of the condemned amirflilsts. Mnyor Iluuhc said lie had no cAijcctlon to thl * , providing it should bo done In a pmHr ] ! manner nndrith a proper spirit. Atxocttitid I'l'diS ltMtch. ] So it has come to pass In this great re public , with its boasted freedom , that American citizens nro compelled to pro cure n permit from one of their chosen public servants to petition for amnesty ! In the year 1887 , A. D. , with the right of petition guaranteed by national nnd state constitutions , American citizens must on bonded knees beg the mayor of Chicago to graciously allow them to hand in u petition to an other public servant who happens to oc cupy the executive chair of Illinois. Could there bo anything moro humiliat ing ? "When Horace Grcoley signed the bail bond of Jeff Davis , who was held for high treason , did ho have to oak the mayor of New York for permis sion:1 Did the thousands and thousands of cili/.cns who asked for amnesty for HID rebel loaders have to gut permission from their municiyal or state ofllcorb ? Would any Russian peasant have to ask permission from any public olllccr be fore he could petition the czar for amnesty fora condemned nihilist ? Are wo not drifting rapidly toward imperial ism under a republican form of govern ment ? Overriding tlic I < nw. Councilman Counsman'a resolution authorizing the saloons to keep open on election day is not only an idiotic piece of presumption , but is likely to cause n conllict between the police and the retail liquor dealers. The pretense Unit Mayor Broateh's order is void be cause ho did not issue a regular procla mation is silly. The mayor need not issue any proclamation that the law shall be enforced. It is his sworn duty to enforce the law as ho finds it on the statute bool < s. That his predecessors have not enforced the law nnd violated their oaths of olllco is no credit to them. Tlio councilmcn have no more right to interfere with him in the discharge of his duty than they have with the run ning of the courts. If they cail suspend u stato'law by resolution they can wipe out the entire city charter. Tlio lling at the "pretended" chief of police is beneath contempt. Chief Scavey did not make the law nnd did not instigate the order of the mayor to enforce the law. Under the charter he is responsible to the mayor and police commission only , and he is bound to obey their instructions. The attempt of the council to override the stnto law , instead of helping the liquor dealers , plays into the hands of prohibition agi tators , and will help on the pio'iib'tion ' issue. Chenf Seavcv is in duty bound to obey the mayor's orders to enforce the Inw , aud anybody who resists will find himself in the position of a law breaker in spite of the resolution ot the council. Xo Occasion Kor Alarm. Months ago the country was warned of impending calamity certain to befall - fall with a shock to all interests be fore November if * the national treasury did not at once open its vaults and feed the hungry " money market all it would take. These people ple bosoiged aud bcsoochod the secre tary of the treasury to hasten to the rescue , and besought the public nnd the commercial organizations of the country to give their voice to the de mand for relief. Their efforts were not without effect. The secretary of 'tho treasury responded , to the extent of his authority , and with the result of show ing that the wild cry of danger ahead had very little or nothing to justify it. The actual money want of the country , as shown by the willingness of bond holders to dispose of their bonds at a fair price and to accept advance inter est , was demonstrated to bo less than thirty million dollars , or not moro than fifty cents per capita of the population. The legitimate interests of the country wcro not suffering for money , nnd they have passed the point at which disaster was to be encountered not only without experi encing any trouble or disturbance , but in a moat prosperous and healthy con dition. Confidence had been somewhat shaken , largely by reason of the noise made by the alarmists , but the fcolid en terprises and the unspcculntivebusiness of the country was not in the slightest danger. Perhaps those pcoplo , the alarmists and pessimists , did a good ser vice in giving the opportunity to firmly establish this fact. Those people have latterly been devoting - voting their attention to western enter prise , and in their wonted way deplor ing a condition of things for which they can heo no outcome but loss nnd disas ter. The wonderful development of this region in the last few years the o dismal prophets regard as largely waste , and much is heard in solemn dep recation of railway extension and in ridicule of the price of real estate which at the most active nnd prosperous cen ters contrasts somewhat widely with the value of realty in' the unprograsalvo or deteriorating towns of the cast. Cities like Omaha , Minneapolis and St. Paul arc referred to as examples of a devel opment largely speculative , nnd therefore - fore doomed to a reaction that must prove more or less ruinous in its cense quences. Correspondents of eastern newspapers nro sent out to fortify this view by investigation and observation , and their testimony is supplemented by that of men who at some time or other came west and lacking the ability and enterprise to "grow up with the country" made a failure and returned to the cast to plod along , through life in the easy way to which they had been accus tomed. It is not apparent that in this matter the cry of the alarmists and pessimists is having much effect. There is no ev idence that the tide of population west ward is diminishing. Nebraska will add at least one hundred thousand to hor-populution this year , and the bteody growth of Omaha is apparent to every citizen. There has been a subsidence , generally in the real estate movement of western cities , but there are only two or three of them in which the price of real estate is not as firm to-day as it was six months ago , ' nnd Omaha is not one of these. So fur as this city is con cerned , confidence in its future is stronger nt this time than it has ever been before , and for the bttfllclcnt rea son that all the conditions necessary to mitko Omaha n great commercial m.c- tropolis nro seen to bo steadily enlarg ing. With regard to nil other western cities comparable with Omaha us nat ural trade centers there is not the least probability that they will experience deterioration. Tbo country tributary to them must continue to fill up with an industrious and thrifty people , and so long as this goes on the cities must con tinue to prow in business nnd popula tion. While the gates remain open to immigration and the west can offer in ducements to the industrious and thrifty possessed by no other section of the country , the foundations of empire that hnvo been llrinly laid hero will suffer no impairment. Knocked Out. . Combastcs Furioso Humphrey , who entered the nice for the district judgeship - ship twenty days ago in the First judic ial district , has been knocked out nnd "throws up the spong ' ' just as time was being called by the.referec. After making a brilliant and very noisy cam paign , the valiant captaiir finds himself winded , and withdraws from the ring. The bombardment of the BKE was u little too much for him even nt Jong range. But in retiring from the arena the captain delivers a stiiigcr under the right eye to his running mate "Judge" Stull by declaring that he could not hold his nose any longer. Captain Humphrey boasts of a good constitution but being tied to a body festering from head to solo with political corruption , was too much even for a man who had been ueed to the stench of political graveyards. The political quacks down in Beatrice pronounce Humphrey out of his head , but there is after all a good deal of method in his .madness. Humphrey understood himself bolter than his own trainers , and ho didn't faro about being punished and poundedtopieeo3withbal- ots. Ho who lights and runs away may ivo to light another day. Ilumpb- ey's defeat was a foregone conclusion tfter the revolt raised in the district by the Bii's : : appeal to honest republicans. Tlic Wife or Gladstone. While the world is paying deserved loner to the greatest of contemporary GnglishvUitCsmen. it may properly bo reminded that that distinguished man .a ' in no small measure indebted to his wife for much that ho has achieved. This has not been altogether by reason of her judicious counsel , though her mental endowments qualify her to bo au idvisor oven to so great a man ; nor is it because of her ambition for fetation .ind power , though she is doubtless not worse to these. But it is by reason of the constant solicitude and tender care with which she has always guarded Lhe health of her husband and minis tered to him in sickness that Mrs. Glad stone has aided him to the accomplis , ! - nient of tho-,0 triumphs of states manship which have placed him high on the role of the greatest statesmen the world has produced. Of Into years Mr. Gladstone has been a good deal troubled with his throat , and unusual exertion or exposure produces results of n , serious character. Refer ring to his recent attack , a London cor respondent says "Mrs. Gladstone has watched over his throat and voice , and over his health generally , with loving care that might shame the demonstra tive solicitude of a lion with one chick. " When parliament is in session Mrs. Gladstone is always at the door of the house of commons at adjournment to take her great husband straight homo with her. Her own convenience and comfort are never in the way of such continual manifestations of loyal duty and wifely affection. Why should it not bo remembered that there is a "grand old lady" who is the domestic companion-alt the "grand old man , " and to whom he isso largely indebted ? The great Disraeli did not hesitate to acknowledge his debt to his wife , and ho has left on record his Foii of his great obligation in terms as honorable to him as any act of his life. Who docs not know the splendid testi mony that John Stuart Mill bore to the help his wife gave him in his studies and labors. 'Among American states men the elder Adams and Madison were conspicuous instnirees of those whoso wives had been both inspirers and aids to their great husbands in the work of their lives. The example of such wo men is always valuable , and it is per haps more needed in this day of grow ing social frivolity nnd fashion worship than over before. No man is bo strong in himself or so great that the affectionate care and thoughtful help of his wife will not bo of value to him. The world may bo more largely indebted than it can ever know to the vigilance and solicitude of Mrs. Gladstone for the continuance of that great life in which is bound up the hopes of a pcoplo and perhaps the welfare of nn empire. Hints For Whiter. The ploosantcbt season of the year in this latitude Is Indian summor. During the past week wo have hud as dclightfu' weather as any day In Juno. But we nro on the threshold of winter and "tho cold" will claim our attention for the next three or four months. There is nn aphorism which says tha "heat is life and cold is death. " This is true only in a limited .degree. The extreme of.ono is just as deadly as the extreme of the other. In one souse the aphorism is untrue. It is nn unquestionable tionablo fact that moderate coli is conducive to health. The mor tality in the heated season especially among children , is mucl greater than in winter. Cold hn i stimulating effect uion the systen which calls forth life and energy in the animal machine , while excessive hen paralyzes themVo associate cold weather with lusig di&cnses , affections of the throat , catarrh , etc. , hence the prejudice against n low temperature But the fault is not with the weather , 1 lies with our methods of living. Wo cal ourselves hevnuilU-nlly in hc-nted oems , breathe viliute'a nir , and when re step from these hoUhousos into the open air we pass through a change of omperature ranging through moro ban one hundred oV'grVe-sin ft moment. s it any wondeii that the lung's be- omo diseased /u tr ing to ad ust themselves to fetich siiddon ind extreme clinnges ?

It cills many diseases and cures even con- umption where thhf hns not passed be- end the stage of remedy. There nro ihysicians who think the hospitals of ho future will be ice-houses. Tills may > c carrying the idea n little too far , but los-pital improvements nro totting in .hat direction. It is better to spend more money n good , warm clothing and ess in fuel. The tenuwraturo of sleeping roonrs .should always bo moderately cool. Food for winter should bo substantial , with u good deal of carbon , for the animal body is a fur- iiico that needs large quantities of fuel o keep the temperature at nearly 100 degrees. The idea of hardening chil- Iren by exposing them to inclement vonthcr with scanty clothing and insuf ficient food is simply murderous igno- nncc. A 'good layer of fat will protect the system against the cold better than irtilicial heat. In the coming winter evenings , when t will be pleasant to bit by the home icnrth to engage in reading and recre ation , don't make your rooms stilling lot-beds for fatal diseases.

Stull is virtually now out of the race. MUP. JANICS Bitovor POTTKI : , who made her debut before an American au dience in New York last Monday even ing , scorns to have made moro of an im- n-obsion by her costly and elegant cos- .umcs than by her acting. From u de scription of her dresses und other foa- .ures of her toilet itfunn readily be un derstood that she must ijavo commended herself most fully to the highly fashion- ' ible audience , mob o'f which , and the female portion especially , doubtless had very little concern , about how she ac quitted herself in tlio acjting. As to this there was sonic diversity among the critics , but on tlio whole she was quite favorably spoken of , though wo do not infer from the morq .trustworthy ojiin- ions that Mrs. Browiotter is likely over to greatly illumine thoVtnge. In .short , were she loss lia.iid.soum and less wealthy , and withoJt. the society back ing she enjoys , it isWrtgtxthcr probable that this new acquisition' to the stage would bo thought quite commonplace. But the lady will have brilliant uucccss , > o far as audiences go , while her pretty face and her gorgeous costumes continue to be attractive , and meanwhile , if she really is talented , she may develop into an actress capable of commending at tention on her merits. It was different with the great actresses of the past Charlotte Cushiniin , Eliza Logan , Julia Dean , and others' . They had to begin with merit. Ij POINTS.

Tlio fulsome praUo which has been bestowed U | > on him might lead some persons , who are unacquainted \vUhtho early history of the Union Pacific , to believe that Mr , Train furnished the brains and the money to carry out this great enterprise , and that If it htld not been for him the road would never have l een built. Such , however , Is not the fact. To the late Dr. Tannins C. Uuraut , moro than to any other man , belongs the credit of building the Union 1'aciflo railroad. # * * Dr. Durant , wlio had been connected with the extension of the Missouri & Mississippi , now the Chicago ft Hock Island , from Daven port to Urlnnell , wus nn Indomitable , ener getic man , with a wonderful executive power. Ho was n man something after the style and build of General Sherman , lie was the first vice president and pt'iicnil mana ger of the Union Pacific company. Ho it was who organised victory for the Union Pacific in its race to the one-hun dredth meridian. The chaUcr provided that the rend which should first rcjch that point should have the right of way s the main line to a connection with the Cent nil Pucillc. The latter road was not chactered by congress but by the California legislature to the boun dary line of Nevada ; but by its acceptance of the conditions Imposed by congress upon the Pacific roads , It became possessed of all the rights nnd subsidies of those roads. Inci dentally It may bo stated that because the Central Pacific was originally chartered by the legislature of California , Stanford and Crocker are now opposing any Investigation on the part of the government Into the af fairs of that corporation , on the ground that It 1ms no right to Investigate. * * * When the race for the one-hundredth mer idian was begun the Kansas PuelhY , under the management of Samuel Unllctt and T. F. Oaks , g"ot n big start. In the first place , they had direct connection with eastern railroads , so that they could easily and quickly trans port their .supplies , material and machinery , while the Union Pacific was l.'iO miles from any railroad connection , and had to bring its supplies from St. Joe by steamcror by wagon from Grmncll nnd Hoottc , Iowa , the former distant 13U miles from Omaha , and the latter 1 SO miles. * t # Durant organized nn immense army of rail road contractors , and collected vast quantities of supplies and material around Oinnlia , covering miles of ground. Ho open ed tlio campaign in accordance with the plans of a great general. At the start he had ev erything to contend with. Tlio heaviest grades were those lending out of Omaha , and this necessarily caused great delay nt the start. By the time the Plutto valley was reached , the Union Pacific was far behind the Kansas Pacificin the race , buU when Durant struck the level country he caused his enterprise to shoot ahead very rapidlynnd the icsnlt was that ttio Jnion Pacilie reached the one hundredth meridian ahead of its com petitor. This victory gave Durant the right to construct the cntlro main line to a connection with the Central Pacific , which was being rapidly built eastward. While Stanford was aiming to making the connection in the vicinity of Salt Lake , Durant reached that locality first , and pushed on beyond it nnd reached Prom ontory , where ho met the Central Pacific. The result was that the Central Pacific had to buy the Union Pacific road from- Promon tory back to Ogden , nnd Durant dictated his own terms , us ho was absolute master of the situation , us well as of the Union Pacific. . * Now let us return to Train "for a moment. Durant , who knew Train's ability-as a talker , sent him to Omaha to bo present and make a speech at the formal break ing of ground for the Union Pacific. Durant wanted a speech which ho could semi back cast and excite interest in the enterprise , nnd ho know Train could make just such u speech as lie wanted. * * The Credit Mobilier , which furnished the money for the construction of the Union Pa cific , had been organized under the laws of Pennsylvania by a special charter. Dull Green originally had the charter. Train bought it of him for 500 , and sold it for $100,000 to the Credit Mobilier company , which was organized subsequently by Du rant , Hushnell and others. ft. * * The Credit Fonder , organized by Train , was a syndicate for the purpose of buying large tracts of land along the Union Pacific and developing the country. Several largo investments wereinadeparUcularly in Omaha and Columbus. * * * The breaking of ground for the Union Pa cific , December 2 , lh < V ! , was practically all Unit was done until the next year. The first forty miles were not completed until IWG , when General Samuel Curtis and General Simpson , of the United States engineer corps , came out to Omaha ns the government com missioners to inspect nnd accept these forty miles. As usual Train was on hand and went out on the excursion with the Inspec tors. * * * At the close of the civil war General Granville - ville M. Dodge was made the chief engineer of the Union Pacific , and became un import ant factor in everything concerning the con struction of the road , with General Casement and II. M. Hoxie as his co-workers. * * # In ISO" Leland Stanford came to Omaha and stayed hero for a week , making his headquarters at the Coz/ens house. At that time he ex-pressed the belief that the Union and Central Pacific ought eventually bo made a four-truck line across the continent from ocean to ocean two tracks for passen ger trains and two tracks for freight trafllo f > o that no two trains should go iu opposite directions , but one should follow the other. In this way there would bo no delays nnd no collisions , and freight could bo moved us rapidly as passengers. Such n transcontin ental railway , said lie , would solve the fast freight problem. If Stanford's four-track plan had been carried out the pioneer trans continental line would probably have had no competitor. STATK JMIKSS JOTTINGS. The Weeping Water Republican favors prohibition , but Is opposed to third paity movements as inspired by tho"devil and democracy. " The Norfolk News congratulates Attorney General Locso on having won a victory for the people in the mandamus proceedings against the railroads , and classes him as one Of the faithful few. Candidate Halloa dropped f50 checks where tliev will do the least good in Hurt county.last week. The Hurt County Herald says " .such open bribery lias not been displayed in these parts for most ten years. " There is an able bodied sigh of relief in the last issues of the weeklies over the close of the campaign. The mud scows will now be dry docked and caulked for the national campaign. "An Omaha sneak thief , " says the Grand Island Independent , "who stele a pair of gloves , got twenty days in jail , first and last five on bread and water. If ho had btolon a few thousand ho would have been given a better banquet. " Tbo Hastings Gazette-Journal cries out In the wilderness"What did the civil war settle , anyway ? Is this n nation with u big Nl" The latest advices show that the war con tinues with unabated lung fury on both sides of tha bloody ditch , nnd there Is llttlo pros pect of death quieting the ruttlo of Jawbones. This Beatrice Free Lance says : "Mr. 3ohn S. Stull , republican candidate for district Judge , denies being a nillroiul'attoruey. Lust Wednesday ho rode on nn annual H. & M , employes pass from Wymoro to Table Kock , and from Table Hock to Tecnnnoh. Th editor of the Free Lance saw It wlUi his own eyes , " "The pull of oomemeu , " in the eyes of tlto Frement Tribune , U 'Simply appalling. For Instance , we find Heproscntuttvo Agee , of Hamilton county , coming forward to claim the glories * ; of locating the soldiers * homo at Grand Island , when , as n matter of fact and record , ho voted ngiili. t tire locution every time. " I The Liberty Journal has information of n scheme to trade Stull for votes for Hum phrey. The situation for the railroad candi dates in the first district Is so desperate that something must be done to rescue one of them from the upending \\ri-ck. The Jour- mil demands fair piny nnd.inslststhnt "every man run on his own merits. " The Journal of Liberty warmly endorses Hon. N V. Hurlau of Yorkna the muvo-ssnr of Congressman Lulnl next ji-nr. As the presiding officer of the house , says the Jour- mil , "Mr. llurlan gave universal satisfaction. He has the ability nnd Is made of metal that is required of n candidate for that position. If ho is gent to congress , Nebraska will have another good man at the front. " Tlio Gothcnbcrg Independent endorses thii efforts making in the Judicial districts of tlm state to remove the bench from the power ot party bosses by non-partisan nominations. "Our courts should bo removed , so far us possible , from the realm of politics , Such a course will plnco this Judiciary on a better basis , because it will put bettor men In onice. " Tlio Plntlsmonth Journal sees very little in the political methods of Senator MandciMon to admire. His "support of an incompetent judiciary In the third district because it has the party endorsement is on par with his effort to elect Church Howe to congress , u stumps him as a small and narrow pDlitiom who cares moro for party hiiccess than ho does for the public welfare. Ills cake is dough. " Tlio bum judicial stumpers met with a chilling reception in Hhiir last week , a fore- runnerof the hlt/riml Unit will wrap them in oblivion next Tuesday. The Hluir Pilot says "tho grand campaign rally advertised for Monday night consisted often men ( headed by Oshorn ) and fifteen boys and the Hlnlr brass band. 'Twas an utter , ignoble , dead failuio and Il7le. Even Hoggs , who worked Hullou for Swag' to pull West through with , couldn't be found , and it wns afterwards as certained that ho was down homo 'making ' pickles. ' " Twenty neighbors of John S. Stull , candi date for Judge in tlio first district , all but two republicans , have signed and published tlm following : "We , the undersigned , cllin-iis nnd taxpayers of London precinct , Neimihiv county , Nebraska , have known John S. Ktull many years , nnd wo believe that ho is n thoughly unreliable lawyer and totally unfit , to fill the position of district Judge. He was attorney for London precinct , in thu Hrown- villo & Fort Kearney railroad bond case , and we are satisfied ho has betrayed our InUirests in that Important case and was tint run to us , whereby we will suiter the loss of thousands of dollars. " The Lincoln Democrat is not burdened with admiration for the political railroad attor ney nnd never throws the opiwrtunlty over its shoulder to attest the fact. Hero is a iv- cent roast : "John M. Thurston , a hireling of the Union Pacific , goes on the stump to elect other hirelings of the road to the bench nnd the people are asked to chisp their hands and regard with reverence the ; < rli'taelo of this great man unbending in lib anxiety to ficeuro a pure Judiciary. The 7. and and hypocrisy of the republican iimclilno , mini- acled to the railroad car , going about un punished , causes a widespread regret Unit the providential stock of flaming sulphur was exhausted in the application to Sodom und Gomorrah. " The Kearney Democrat vouches for the following pedigree of the democratic pnityi "Our opponents use this term ( the un washed ) in speaking of the democrutid party. It is a fuct that poor men constltutti thoTbulk of the adherents of that party , and that .silk hats , spike-tailed coats nnd gold headed canes are not conspicuous in its ranks. As a general thing the criticism is correct ; the party is the friend of the plain man nnd the man who depends upon u lifo with which elegance of apparel and fine soft hands , do not comport ; In short the party is composed principally of men in the lower walks of life , and Is in sympathy with this class , and this class find homes within its portals , and to it this class look for laws to benefit It. The democratic party wus con ceived in the aspiral ions of men who had hoi nu the ages of wrong begotten of conditions in imical to the poor , and prompt ivo of the tin- duo ascendency of men who wcro close to the throne nnd who formed the courts and bhnpcd the laws of the old world.
