wrongs aocl stinging ilia perpetrators.
We have been doing all these things
and nothing, save the rattle of thou-
sanris of quarter; and 30c.'s have we
received to tell us that our doctrine is
meeting with approval anywhere.
But it has come at last, and it has
rolled in from the sweltering per-
fumes of the stinchinge4 Republican
(quarters in the whole political cow
lot ---Pennsylvania. It is the best
i)1+.•0e of home-made praise and poeti-
t•al juice we have seen or heard of
incpwe started our political eat -fight
five years ago. It is the honey; it
ertairily funny; it's better than
any money. A Pennsylvania poet is
tN, i delltly the fellow to strove it, so
everybody may know it. Here's the

And your life here below is ended
A :ncnuinent will lie built for the %%,orld to soe

Better is the man who is "wiehy-

This is a copy of THE
HORNET, eche hottest Dem-
cratic paper in America. It
is small,but will get larger;
it is Mot, and will never get
any cooler; it is a stunter
ac �fiell a's a stinger; it is
yet an infant, but sleeps by
its(.If ; Last, but: by no wise
Z least, it is the only tiling
of all larger hood things in
the sea of Democratic ;jour-
nae.isIll.
It is our forte to sting, bite
and fight for pure Democrat-
ic principles, the k;nd that
Thomas Jeil'rirsoll otariied in
his breast seven ( lu3 s i n ,
week. We are ileterniiiled
to distinguish THE HOR -
NET as. the hottest babe
that was ever folded within
Democratic arms. IDS tem-
perature is far beyond nor-
mal and still heating. It;
preaches Dmooratio gospel
so plain that the wayfaring
Republican, though a fool,
need not continue in fiis
course.
Please look over this c y
of THE HORNET. If it
'is the thing you want, take
it. If you are a Democrar,
you will want it.
At all times, and for mo�-t
all purposes. address
