Does anybody dream that Democracy
can accomplish the overthrow of such a
power, single handed and unaided?
The disinterested Northern partisan
leader knows it to be impossible. Yet,
when forced to admit its impossibility,
viii he counsel course which at the
outset repels au1iliaries and prevents
a Republican revolt which a Democrat
ic withdrawal from the field would
surely 7 ,cipit tie and which would op IN
a campaign and rally an organization
that would be equal to the task of over
throwing the military party. This is
the question to which the rank and file
of modern Conservative Democracy
must dispassionately address itself, and
not to seductive fatteries of Northern
partisan failures, to the effect that an
''honest patriotic minority" will exert
its immense power and influence upon
the majority. Let US have done with
minorities.

Sketch of Judge Davis.

Now that this eminent jurist is talked
of as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency we present tie following
sketch of him:
Physically Judge Davis is picture.
He is very tall and large; his shoulders
are broad, his frame massive, and his
stomach is beautifully rounded like an
inverted balloon, from his throat to his
hips. His stomach is, 1 should say,
artistically considered a trife too large.
but it is very jolly. and his waistcoat
sits over 1t tight and nice IS though 1t
were proud to have such lining. Alto
gether Judge Davis is very conspic-
uous man. His weight must be over
three hundred pounds. and if report
be true, be had million dollars for
every hundred pounds of flesh. His
head. surmounted such massive frame
looks small. but / judge it to be of more
than ordinary size. His hair is brown,
plentifully mixed with gray, and is
closely cut. He wears closely trimmed
beard, also gray, but no mustache. His
eyes are blue, or gray. and very mild,
but his nose was evidently intended for
a man with a larger face. His age Is
fifty-seyen, and he is as young and ac-
tive as any man of his size can be-
Physically and intellectually, he is just
in his prime. being no older in appear
ance than ordinary men at forty-fse,

sion for paying men for the time they
are actually engaged, and nothing for

ly one by the month. The men l hire
by the day usually have families to sup
port. When paid them by the day,
without any understanding as to its
length, they arrived late OF early ,as WIS
convenient for them. Now that I pay
by the hour, they generally want 10
work full as many hours as need them;
but if they do not regard my wishes
somewhat, laboring until the work is ac-
complished, they feel very certain that
1 shall hire some one who will stick by
me: and find that men are more will

less of the number Of hours, if they are
sure of being paid proportionately, as
they are by the hour system.

The Minority Democrats.

Under this heading the Nashville Ban
ner thus expresses its views:
The Northern partisan Democrat, who
enjoys the distinction of leadership of a
powerless minority, will yield everything
even to latform and candidate in a
Presidential coalition, except the name
and the organization, of which he is
the recognized captain by right of prim-
ogeniture. He insists upon this leader
ship in any contingency, and invites the
South to follow it and none other under
the penalty of accommodation. The
South submits to this partisan fat, yet
all the while sees States admitted to the
Union and still shut out; seeing them
selves taxed and not yet allowed to vote;
subjected to laws they had no hand IN
making, and to rulers in the selection
of whom they had no voice. If they
grow restive under innumerable op-
pressions, waiting for deliverance under
such leadership, here is the thin diet
upon which their systems are to be re-
inyigorated and their failing, sinking
hearts warmed with new courage:
"You are too numerous to be cowardly-
be brave like me; you are too patriotic to
be lukewarm-be red-hot as l am; you
are too sincere to be despondent-take
courage that am still alive, and have
half dozen Presidential terms in me
yet" This comforting stomachic is
washed down with the assurance that
their only safety is in compact, exclu-
sive party organization, which will mo-
nopolize the field of opposition to de-
feat and overthrow the dominant party.
Yes, "defeat and overthrow" party
which has carried nearly every State OF
the North, and now has its iron heel on
all the South "a party that has armed its
leader with martial laws; that controls
a regular army of forty thousand men;
that has the manipulation of debt Of
twenty-three hundred millions; that has
a minute supervision of seventeen hun
dred national banks, with capital Of
three hundred and fifty millions; that
has the disbursement of an annual sum
of three hundred and eighty millions;
that controls an almost arbitrary. irres-
ponsible Internal Revenue Bureau, with
its immense disciplined host of officials
and attaches; that possesses the power
of supervisory interferences in the COM
ing Presidential election, with the right
to count the votes and declare the re-
suit Of that election.

The St. Louis Democrat tells this on
the probable Democratic candidate for
President:
Judge David Davis, it may be said.
has little faith in the discretion of the
Democratic party, Notwithstanding he
is now likely to be its candidate for the
Presidency. A few months ago he was
told that the Democrats would probably
nominate him. He quietly remarked;
" No sir 1 don't think they will. They
haven't sense enough to do that"

IIe was born in Maryland, but grad
uated at Kenyon College, Ohio, in 1892.
He studied law in MASSACHUSETTS, and
went through the legal course at Yale
College Law school. He was one of the
pioneers of Illinois, having removed
there in 1885, and began the practice
of law in the backwoods. He was elect
ed to the legislature in 1874, and was
in 1S47 prominent in the Convention
which formed the present State Consti-
luton. He was repeatedly elected
Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit
of Illinois. serving in all in this capacity
thirteen years. 1t was here that he
formed the friendship of Mr.. Lincoln,
which, on both sides, was one of the
most remarkable that ever existed be-
tween two men. They rode the circuit
together year after year, and rarely
separated, except from necessity. Prob
ably Judge Davis knew Lincoln better
than any human being knew him. not
excepting his own wife. In December;
1862, Mr.. Lincoln appointed him one
of the Justices of the Supreme Court
and he at once established himself with
the Court and the bar as one of the
strongest Judges on the American
beach.
1t is not known that he woul | ac-
cept an independent nomination, but
those who know him best believe he
would. He will himself say nothing.
He will not even talk with his friends
upon the subject, nor will he be inter-
viewed by the enterprising reporter.
He is. however, extremely courteous
and attentive to the Democrats and to
the opposition Republicans. When he
"a spoken to about being possible can
didate, he throws NJ his hands, gives
big laugh, and says: "Ho, nchody's
going to run me-" and then changes the
subject.

ScHuRz on THE PREsIDENT.-The Chi
caSo Times of March 1st speaks very
favorably of speech ma lie by Senator
Schurz in that city, lately, and says
Mr.. Schurz says he hopes to have an
opportunity to vote against the re-elec-
ton of the President without voting for
a Democrat, and this is the hope of an
immense number of voters. If they
are not offorded such an opportunity
there can only be one result: the pro.
longation of the present dynasty for an
other term of four years.

MARRIAGE.-Men and women, and es-
pecially young people, do not know that
t nses years to marry completely two
hearts, even of the most loving and we'll
sorted. But nature allows no sudden
changes. We slope very gradually from
the cradle to the summit of life. Marri-
age is gradral fraction of us at time
A happy wedlock is long falling in love.
I know young persons think love only
belongs to brown hair, and plump,
round, crimson cheeks. So it does for
its beginning, just as Mt Washington
begins at Boston Bay. But the golden
marriage is part of love which the br;.
dal day knows nothing of. Youth is the
tassel and silAen flower of love; age is
the full corn. ripe and solid in the ear.
Beautiful is the morning of love with its
prophetic crimson, violet, purple and
gold, with its hopes of days that are to
come. Beautiful also is the evening Of
love, with its glad remembrances, and
its rainbow side turned toward heaven
as well as earth. Young people marry
their opposites in temper and character.
and such marriage is commonly q good
match. They do it instinctively. The
young man does not say, "My black
eyes require to be wed with blue, and
my over-vehemence requires to be d lit
tie modified with somewhat of dullness
and reserve" When these opposites
come together to be wed, they do not
know it, but each thinks the other Just
like himself. Old people never marry
their opposites they marry their simil-
ars, and from calculation. Each of these
two arrangements Is very proper. In
their long journey these young opposites
will fall out by the way great many
times, and both get away from the road;
but each will charm the other back again
and by-and-by they will be agreed as to
the place they will go to, and the road
they will go by, and become reconciled.
The man will be nobler and larger for
being associated with so much humani-'
ty unlike himself, and she will be a no.
bier woman for having manhood beside
her that seeks to correct her DEFICIENCIES
and supply her with what she lacks, ie
the diversity be not too great, and there
be real piety and love in their hearts to
begin with. The old bridegroom, bay.
ing a much shorter journey to make,
must associate himself with one Ike
himself. Aperfect and complete mar
rage is, perhaps, as rare as perfect per-
sonal beauty. Men and women are mar.
ried ftactioraily, now small fraction.
then large fraction. Very few are mar
ried totally, and they only, think, at.
ter some 40 or 20 years of gradual ap.
proach and experiment. Such large
and sweet fruit is complete marriage,
and it needs very long Summer to rip
en- in, and then long Winter to mellow
and season in. But real happy mar
riage of love and judgment, between q
noble man and woman, is one of the
things SO very handsome that if the sun
were. as the Greek poets fabled, a god.
he might stop the world in order to feast
his eyes with such a spectacle. 1Eeo.
