Lawyers and sages In this and all ages I-Iave ever been singing I-Ier praises,-and ringing The necks of each other, In wildest endeavor To capture the hoyden, My lovely Marie.

IN THE JEFINTERSONIAN CLUB Mr. O'Gara is called on for a speech of a non-partisan char- acter. He holds a tight rein on his political passions while deliver- ing the following: Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen: It is with feelings of unmixed pride that I address you tonight in the capacity of a Ieffersonian democrat. Such a capacity is the highest honor to which man may attain. To attempt to add to it were like attempting to add crys- talline beauty to the morning dew-drops, or splendor to the golden effulgence of a western sunset. , VVhy, sir! when the Almighty Creator laid out his plans for the universe he first consulted the democratic platform. And I say, without fear of contradiction, that he never made any improve- ment on the human race until he constructed the first Ieffersonian democrat-of the people, by the people, and for the people.-Sic Semper ty1'a1zm's!-E1'z'1L go Zaraghl Qterriiic applause. Mr. Paul goes into hystericsj. Talk about the mighty achievements of the past. Cyrus, that valiant Spartan, crossing the Alpsg Mohammed with his faithful followers marching through the snows of a Russian winterg Oliver Cromwell, that intrepid seaman, electrifying his hearers with the shout, England expects every man to do his duty. Sappho, the sweet singer of Israel, writing 'tParadise Lost. What are these but Dead Sea fruit compared to the fadeless luster, the unperish- able glory of that stupendous triumph, the election of Grover Cleve- land? fMany prominent democrats faintj Go back with me, if you please, a hundred and twenty-five years and behold the advocates of independence doing the greatest stunt of all history. The ragged, barefoot soldiers of the forests and the wilderness whose camp-fires burned not one-half so brightly as freedom's flame within their hearts of gold. Behold them tramp- ling beneath feet that were racked with chilbrains, and blemished with bunions, the writhing serpent of despotism, until they drove the iron-fanged, bristling dragon of tyranny off the American hem- isphere, tickling his ribs with their bayonets as he disappeared into the Atlantic. CA hurricane of applauseg wild yells from the mad- dened audiencej But be not deceived. However great this achievement, the world was still groping in darkness. The glorious sun of democ- racy had not yet ariseng yet another decade of weary waiting and, II8 '
