Show ' SIGNS OF THE TIMES. !l It's mean, small anil ungenerous to gloat. That's why wo don't Co or say ' anything which could be construed a3 t gloating over the "American" parly. It Is true that tho party has been ar- ; ' rogant, prosumpuous, overbearing and worse towards thoso who have disap- H proved of Its acts and disagreed with Hi its alleged principles. Hi It had its fall, but it cannot be H, said that tho fall thereof was great, H' because thero was nothing great about H it. But wo said wo wouldn't gloat. Hi Tho signs, bowovor, unmistakably H' aro that tho so-called "American" par- m ty has had its little day. It lias been H a poor, short nnd inglorious day, but M ovcry dog has his day. Before tho iv HJ cent stato and county election it camo HJ forward as an army with banners, lllto M tho hosts of tho Assyrian. Tho morn- M lhg after it lay withered and strewn. HJ Tho remnant "pulled itself together" M and mado a folnt of waging a fight M in the school election. The schools HJ have boon made a watchword by the M falsely named "American" party. With B tho schools for n "battle cry it expected HJ to do valient deeds, but It didn't. The HJ people realized that its professions H ' were only shams and tho remnants of HJ tho army wcro annihilated. H t The signs aro that it will not be H k able to muster n new army. Tho rank Hj and file no longer have faith in the H' leaders, no longer hnvo confidence, H they realize its rottenness and hypoc- H racy. Tho people can bo fooled for HJ n little while, but not all the time. Hi To tho moro deserving it was Hf ovldent lrom its beginning that the HJ falsely called "American" pirty was H founded on the principles of hatred H and rovengo; It was sustained and H nourished on falsehood, deception, HJ prejudice nnd dishonesty. It has been HJ "found out" by the multitude and Its H days nre fast approaching the night of H eternal oblivion. Those are tho signs H i of the times. |
