Jet the dearest dream depart
That night to love revealed,
Some eager spirit in my heart
My sleeping eyes unsealed.
Yet still twas love that led me here
And bids my feet delay.
Arise, and light the dawn, my dear
Look forth, and bring the day.
AS out of darkness yOnder star
OF whitest ray is born,
AS birds and blossoms feel afar
The coming of the morn,
SO thou hast dawn'd, and now art near,
To brighten and to stay
My being dies in thine, my dear!

recommended to farmers, not only as a

benefit to the community, since the habi-

THOMAS Il. HENDRICKS.

Thomas Andrew Hendricks, our
candidate for Vice President of the
United States. was born in Muskil.
gum county, Ohio, on the 7th day
of September, 1919. When only
three years of age his father re-
moved to Indiana, where our candi-
date has ever since resided. He
graduated at South Hanover Col
lege in 1871, and studied law at
Chambersburg, Pa, where he was
admitted to the bar. lie returned
at once to Indiana, and there com
menced the practice of his profes
sion. In 1913 he was chosen a
member of the Legislature. In 1850
he was elected a delegate to- Con
stitutiOnal Convention. From 1851
to 1866 he represented the Indianap-
oils district in the Congress OF the
United States, and from 1855 to
1858 he held the position of Com
missioner of the General Land
Office at Washington. From 1868
to 1869 he was q member of the U.
s. Senate. As candidate for Gov
ernor of Indiana he was defeated
in 1868, but in 1872 he was triumph
antly elected. The career of Gov
ernor Hendricks has been marked
by continuous and almost unbroken
success, and his transfer to the Vice
Presidency is most appropriate.

Bonds of the Mississippi Central

prompt payment of interest on rail
road bonds cannot fail to attract
the attention of parties who deal at

in railroad stocks Vanderbilt made
in very short time his immense

cessful, provided always he would
do it honestly.

Last week we placed st tlie head
of our columns the naueS of Iiidcn
and Hendricks as the candidates
for President and Vice President
The campaign now opens liz earnest, ,
and We shall do all we can 10 secure
success. In the better days of
Madison county, the AMERICAN
CITIZEN for MANY long years made
its regular weekly visitation at the
homes of a very large portion of the
well TODD planters.
We should like to see those days
'eturn and have the great satisfac-
ton of sending the CITIZEN to all
our old friends, and the children too
of those who were wont TO " tlcome
tho weekly arrival of our sheet, but
are now gone. We shall cndeavor
to make up an acceptable paper,
and one worthy of the support OF
The citizens Of the county. May we
not expect our friends to subscribe
to the CITIZEN; extend it in circu-
lation, and thus give more strength,
vigor and certainty i'll the coming
campaign.

SAMUEL JONES TILDEN.

Our nominee for the Presidency,
Samuel Jones Tilden, was born in
Lebanon, Columbia county, N. Y,
on the 9th day of February. 1914.
He entered Yale College IN 1888,
but completed his studies at the
University of New York, and was
soon after admitted to the bar. He
was a member of the Constitutional
Convention of New York in 1916,
and of another Convention to alter,
revise and improve the Constitution
in 1858. He has several times
served the people in the State
Legislature, and in 1865, he was
the candidate of the Democratic
party of the State for the position
of Attorney General, but failed to
receive an election. In 1874, the
Democracy of New York nominated
him as their candidate for Govern

ARE you THE ONE ,

There are several persons in Can
ton who have, since the establish
ment of the CITIZEN, been regularly
borrowing it from our subscribers,
frequently before it has been read
by them, and these subscribers have
requested US to go for the borrow
ers, and just as we were about to set
at it out eye rested upon the follow
ing from the Natchez Democrat and
it SO completely fills the bill that
We offer it.:
A man who won't take the paper
himself, but has the cheek to depend
on borrowing his neighbours copy, is
a very sorry specimen of humanity.
We know a case where a regular
subscriber has been SO constantly
annoyed by several of this class of
pirates, every day, that he was
obliged to quit having his paper left
ut his place of business, and put
himself to great Inconvenience
This gentleman's morning bores
number about five, and while they
are all able to pay for subscription
as he is, (most Of them better able),
they have not hesitated to sponge
on him every morning for his copy,
k keeping it to read at their leisure,
and returning it only when they got
through. This is a grievance that
is almost lntOlerahle. Think of a
man worth two dollars to your one
into your place, and Selling
he paper for which you pay, and
it under your very eye while
'ou are waiting. Such sponges

PROsPKCTs OF PARTIES.

! The candidates of the two parties
are now before the country and VIC
can now determine which we will
support. There will he no third
party; no candidate by those who
have styled themselves Indepen
dents. This class will be lost in the
regular organizations; very large
part of them adhering to the Repub-
lican side to which is their natural
affinity notwithstanding all thei
vocifer ations for reform. We have
also the two platforms; the one
written with great caution and evil
dent purpose to leave tho currency
feature indefinite enough for any
body and everybody to stand upon,
the other written with that sweep
ing force that demonstrates sincerity
of purpose and not deception or
fraud. If the election were to turn
OH the merits of the platforms, there
would be little doubt as to the re-
suit the Democratic party might
very safely leave the matter here.
Nor could there be more doubt if the
issue were staked upon the ability
and integrity of the candidates.
Tue nominees of the st. Louis Con
vention must be admitted to have
had more experience in State affairs,
and have shown in the positions
they have occupied a measure of
ability in comparison entirely be
yond that of the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention. In this
respect the tickets stand almost as
the known to the unknown. In
making up our conclusions as to the
result next November there is, how
ever, another potent element to be
taken into the account, aud that is
party utilization. This is no doubt
unfavorable to the Democracy, but,
as a set-off, we may count the odium
of General Grants administration,
which cannot be thrown off, no mat
ter what may be the effort. The
corruption. the outrages, the infamy
of the administration, cannot be
from the Republican party
and the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention must carry the weight
in some degree whether they are
willing or not. Republican rule
has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting; wise and just
men say a change is needful. The
Democracy present ffoT our suffrages
the best ticket they present the
best platform supported by party
not yet condemned after trial. Its
chances of success are certainly
good. Day seems to dawn.

TME RESPONSE.

The response to the nomination
of Tilden and Hendricks at st. Louis
is borne to US on every breeze, and
it comes in the shape of most
hearty and enthusiastic approval of
the action of the Convention in
presenting to the people for the two
highest positions in the world, the
names of Samuel Jones Tilden and
Thomas Andrews Hendricks. We
have rarely, if ever, seen a more
general and enthusiastic response
to political nomination, and this
unanimity, this enthusiasm mani
tested in every section of country
from the great lakes Of the North
west to the Gulf of Mexico, from
the Arostook to the Rio Grande,
and from the rock-bound shores of
the Atlantic to the placid waves
and golden sands of the Pacific
give us assurance of a sweeping
triumph in November. The cry of
s.Tilden and reform" is echoed and
re echoed throughout the land. and
we have an abiding confidence that
the great tidal wave which over
.whelmed Van Buren, in 1910, and
placed Harrison in the Presidency,
will, in this Centennial year Of 1876,
sweep over the country with more
fury, engulphiDg Radical
ism and robbery beneath its raging
waters, and bearing Tilden and
Hendricks upon it's broad bosom
into the Presidency and Vice-Presi-
dency. For such contamination
we have long hoped and prayed. but
now the night is passing away, the
first grey streaks of the dawn are
ust visible upon the eastern ht ri.
zon, and with the coming of Nov
,mber the re,l dawn will dapple |
