It is therefore a question whether the agri- cultural address pays. ‘The rural populace ap- preciates the presence of a live governor and gives him due honor, but when it comes to the crop of votes that is a practi matter which allows no courtesy for courtesy's sake, The tell of a rough, rude agriculturist who en- tered the executive chamber with great con- fidence and wrung David's hand nearly off. “Come, sir!” exclaimed the governor, * you're not twisting onion-tops now.

The other night the County Democracy of this city remarked to Grover Cleveland in | pretty plain terms that it was time the Demo- cratic party had some tangible evidence that it na victory in 1884. It said in effect that Democrats didn't vote to keep Republicans and put mugwumps in office, any more than Napo- leon whipped his adversaries with the end in iew of stacking arms and giving them the fruits of the various v es even up to the unconditional surrender. The Democrats of the entire country appa- rently take that view of the situation. The JvupGE hasn't much todo with their procession, | but it thinks their display of opinion and vexa- tion is right. It hopes never to see a Republi- the men who elected him as this later John | Tyler is to the Democratic party. And itthinks | swallowing his on the protection side, at the same time that | they expose weaknesses on the part of the oppo- sition which must grow more pronounced as time goes on. Good luck unaccompanied by a certain amount of shrewdness cannot last. The Na- poleon of the Democracy has nothing of that kind. He has blundered into success and he promises to blunder out of it with even greater rapidity. He is looking at the setting of hi sun, and there will be no Democratic c ness of regret when he passes out of sight. SHHING PROPORTION The child of labor has waxed fat and kiel He has doubled up his small hands and shake them in the faces of parents and nurse until they begin to look at him with fear and curious questionings. He has serious intentions of wn toes, and his screams indi- cate u volume and health of lungs which are truly appalling. It amused his opponents of the Democratic ablishment to make sport of him for a time. The id he didn’t amount to much. They threw mud at him, They laughed hi scorn as a sort of new-comer whocouldn’t out his own parents, But he grew rapid He got out of his aprons with exceedi ste, and shed-half his multitude of buttons before he had learned the purpose of them. He jumped the alphabet and got into the second reader while he ought to have been cradle. He has astonished his own family much as the duck hatched by a fool hen ishes that patient bird when it takes to water. What is this child g to amount to in the proceedings of 1888? The mud-throwers had better cease their exercises long enough to con- sider that question. Faith, the people on the other side of the political building had better ake a close view of it. If that child grows during the next two years ing the two years just p all ordinary calculations and present a political problem that all the wise men of the east and the rest of the United States of America will labor at in vain.
