The Democrats are to step into power
soon, We promised Reform. If we give
the people an honest and economical
government, the party will remain in
power. Ifthe Democracy forget their
pledges and become as corrupt as the
Republicans, the same people who put us
in power will turn us out. We must
have a President who will appoint hon-
est men to places of trust so the public
funds are not stolen. It is impossible for
the President to know every one he ap
points, but when he finds a rascal he is
expected to turn him out. This is what
the Republicans failed to do, hence the
people turned the Republicans out.
This rule must be followed by the
Democrats in their local tickets, We
want honest men for senators and assem-
bly, who wlil not vote for jobs. We must
have honest county treasurers who will
take good care of our monies, We must
have honest commissioners who will put
the foot on extravagance. We must have
honest sheriffs who will not bring in dis-
honest charges—and so on all through
the list. If the Democracy are faithful
in all these things, the days of the party
will be many for holding office.
Let the Democracy remember its cov
enants —the Reronren will be one to re-
mind them of these, and will do it with-
ont fear of the threats of corrupt and
gcheming men-for we know the people

THE NEW CONGRESS.
Secretary McPherson, of the republi-
can congressional committee, is revising
the congressional returns, According to
his figures the democrats will have 183
members in the next house, the ropubli-
cans 141 and greenbackers 1, This gives
the democrats a majority of 41. The
republicans gain 22 over their represen-
tation in the present house, a loss (0 the
democrats of 18 and of 4 to the green-

there were added to the roll during the
year the names of 34,192 pensioner« and
the names of 1,221 whose pensions had
previously been dropped, but were re-
stored to the roll. During the same peri-

paid for pensions during the year was

of pensions by several millions of dol.
