The Democrats' eulogize the Adminis

Vlii'ous comparison. During the Civil
War, and before, the Democrats, com
acii'oi to malign and abue Mr. Lin

fonfl taste now for the Democrats to
eulogize Mr. Lincoln. He was a Re
publican a man of the people rais
ing by his own efforts from the moBt
humble circumstances to the highest
office within the gift of the American
people. He went down to his grave

beautifully decorated with Chinese
lanterns, black cats, Jack-o-lanterns,-

and languid movements of the waits,
two, three and one step, cheered by
the soft, sweet strains of enchanting
music. The good Lord made the sexes
