She still breathes and though the death damp stands in beads on her haggard brow, the doctors, grouped' around her couch of pain, profess hope. They say where there are spoils there is hope and from this they argue that wherever there gleams a ray of hope there must be spoils. More spoils, more hope. The four great specialists of the nation Cleveland, Bryan, Hi,11 and Parker have just been in consultation, and, though hopelessly divided in their views regarding the evil and its cure, all are united in the belief that heroic treatment alone can avail and that such treatment must be had P. D. Q. For the information of . an anxious nation, the following bulletin has been issued: Democracy is in a bad way. She seems somewhat easier though she is exceedingly weak since her brave effort to pull herself together. The strenuosity of the times has completely wrecked her nervous system and the constant, senseless feud within her own house has proven more than she. in her old age and decrepitude could stand. At present she suffers no fever. Strong stimulants are being administered to keep up her circulation. Owing to a new complication of the heart Dr. Parker will no longer insist upon the use of his special gold treatment, and though Dr. Bryan is positive that his free silver lotion and his anti-trutablets are the only remedies to be used in such cases, he is inclined to believe with Drs. Cleveland and Hill that these remedies are too strong to be administered successfully to one in Democracys weakened condition, and he will therefore not insist on their use at present. If the voters of the United States will trust us to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years we have laid down as vital, we may yet saye the life of this grand, old Jackass. PARKER. st & n k 2 ni that it is the expansipnists who have rolled this old world out of darkness into light, who have brought the human family from- barbarism to civlization. The gospel the Aposltle to the Gentiles preached throughout Asia Minor and the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean was the gospel of expansion; and it was this same gospel that nerved the Pilgrim fathers to brave the terrors of the mighty deep and of the new world. It was this gospel that inspired our fathers to ing vade the wilderness and subdue its hardships and cause it to laugh and smile with the farms and homes of a great and contented people; the gospel of expansion has dotted our land with schoolhouses, mills and factories, has turned the arid west into a flower and fruit garden, has sent men into the bowels of the earth to search out the treasure a wise Providence has there stored, has girdled the earth with steel rails and cables and has placed ships of commerce on every sea. Every temple reared and dedicated to learning is a sermon on expansion. Wherever the hum and buzz of industrys wheels is heard there is the gospel of expansion preached. Where-eve- r we look upon a happy, prosperous, thrifty, independent and people we see a Every community of expansionists. name that is indellibly stamped on historys page is the name of an expansionist. There is no progression, no civilization without expansion. There can be no advancement, no triumphs in art or science or literature, no victories of peace and war by men and women who are not expansionists. 1st, and awe-inspirin- mind-your-own-busine- ss Jt Ji There is no standing still in this life.

HILL. & The thing that writes the C. W. P. letters which appear on the editorial page of Sundays Tribune is a pimple head, a fool and a knave combined.

Every line in OR AN Thi3 persistent advertising and obtrusive advice has apparently been the means of opening the eyes of so many Republicans to the real purpose of the new party movement, that the leaders of the party were compelled to make a hustle for un-Amerlc- an a Democrat of sufficient prominence to use as a decoy. So a drag net was cast as it were to windward and Frank Cannon was the haul. Then it seems that the disreputable old jade got scared, began to wince, and the editorial of Sunday, so illy begotten, was born. It deprecates Franks action, as if it were not in on the ground floor and did not know all the inner workings of the gang. It opines that he may hurt the Democrats some, but still asserts that the way out is to vote the Democratic ticket. The whitewashing is altogether too thin. The Herald is of the same bolt of cloth as the Tribune. Beth are directed from the same headquarters, both are working to the same end, neither is Democratic nor Republican, both are outlaws in reality and guer-rillas in practice, both are working together for the same purpose.

Peace and prosperity are in le&gue throughout this broad, happy land of ours and the song of contentment is heard from ocean to ocean. Never before in our history has labor been so liberally rewarded; never before has our dear old star bespangled ner been so sincerely and universally respected as it is today and never before have we as a people been able to wield the influence for good we are wielding today. Do you want to see our present pros-i- n e perous and peaceful conditions tinue? Do you wrant our great Union to remain a world power, respected by the other nations of the earth? Then vote with the party of actions, of prog-leress and advancement, with the Grand Old Party that has weathered success-tor- y fully every storm and fought victor-glor- y iously every battle the Republic has ever had. If so, vote the Republican ticket. BRYAN. There are people who claim to be They are. foolish. They ought to be .labored with. They should be made to see that every human being has his choice of being either an expansionist or a retraction plan and go back down that part of lifes ladder he may already have climbed. He must either expand or shrivel up. He must choose between life intellectual and physical growth and advancement and death. there has Baring been no achievement by an anti-ex- pansionist that has helped to lift the race one notch in the scale of civiliza- tion and happiness. Why am I a Republican? Because I am an expansionist. I cannot be else but a Republican so long as I am an expansionist for the very obvious reason no other political party in the United States believes in expansion. Lincoln was an expansionist and the annals of history there is no loved named than his. Grant was an expansionist and his name is enshrined in the hearts of his coun- trymen. Garfield, Harrison, McKin Roosevelt, all are expansionists and leaders of men, makers of his- and the kind of history that adds and fame and power to our na-tion.
