Sounds Like Business,

FROM the Danbury News.
he wanted her, but she wouldn't give her
consent until he had consulted her parents.
80 he went into the room and modestly
stated the case:
"And you really think you love her
enough to marry her % said the father,
after he had finished.
"Oh, yes, SIR" said the youth in fervent
eagerness, 81 love her with all my soul; I
love her better than do my life. She is
my guiding star, the worshipped object of
my every thought, every hope, every aspir-
ation."
He stood there with clasped hands, his
face radiant with the strength of his devo-
tion. There was moment OF pause, and
then the mother softly asked
What do you think of that, old man ~
That sounds like business, old woman" )"
replied the satisfied father.
And so it was arranged that the daughter
should accept her suitor.

One OF Websters Anecdotes.
From the Albany Sunday Press,

Hon. Daniel Webster when in life fire.
quently told the following anecdote Of old
Father Searl, the minister Of his boyhood.
It was customary then to wear buckskin
breeches in cold weather. One Sunday
morning in Autumn, Father Scarf brought
his garments from the garrct; but the wssps
had taken possession of them during the
summer, and were having q nice time in
them. By dint of effort be got the intruders
out, and dressed for meeting, but while
reading the scriptures to the congregation
he felt dagger from one of the enrsged
small WASTED fellows, and he jumped about
the pulpit, slapping his thighs-but the
more he slapped around and danced, the
more they stung. The people thought him
crazy, and were in commotion to know
what to do, but he explained the matter by
saying: "Brethren don't be alarmed, the
word Of God is in my mouth, but the devil
Is In my breeches."

TIE DEMOCRATTC PLAN OF BAT.
TIE.

The Democratic plan Of battle in this
contest ia in vivid contrast to the tactics
adopted by the Republicans.
The Democratic strategy is simply: "Let
the people have light" "show the books"
Their tactics in actual debate are in accord
with the general strategic design. They
shirk no comparison of detailed facts or
figures, but constantly endeavor to force
their opponents to such comparison. This
policy is based upon the profound faith Of
their leaders in the intelligence and virtue
Of the American people.
1t has always been the policy of Samuel
J. Tilden, who has constantly held that
victory was to be won only by fearless e1-
pose Of the whole truth, with ne regard to
whom such exposure might hurt or offend.
The truth always, in season and out of
season, in every place and on every occa-
sion-the naked. bold, aggressive, incisive
truth, has been the whole policy of his
public life. When Tweed was mighty
among The mighty, Tilden knew that
truth was mightier still. He trusted in it
and conquered by it then, just as he trusts
in it and will conquer by it now. His
favorite maxims are "Truth crushed to
earth will rise again" and "Grsat is truth,
and it will prevail" Hence the Demo-
cratic campaign is campaign of intelli-
gence, and the chief wespon used is the
press, and it is used in the dissemination
not Of vague and inaammatory appeals to
prejudice and passion Of the people, such
as are poured forth from the Washington
headquarters Of tbs Radicals, but of solid
facts, which cannot be disputed, and figures
that do not lie.
The campaign Of intelligence is the true
and the only one worthy of our
free institutions. The result will show for
it glorious triumph over the Radical
strategy Of prescription, slander and false
hood.
