Among the many good men named
as Stanley Matthews in
the Senate, Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton
and Hon. Thos. Ewing are most con-
spicuous. We'd be happy with eth,

that way we rather lean toward Gen.

We favor the election of General
G. W. Morgan for various reasons,
among which we may name the fol
lowing: He is a man of eminent
ability as a statesmen, and during
his career as a Representative in
Congress was characterized as a
leader. He was an untir;ng worker,
and never lost sight of the best in
terests ofthe masses. His judgment
was respected by men of all political
organizations, and his record was an
honor to his party. Mr.. Pendleton
seems to be the choice of some of our
leading politicians, andJwhile we are
ready TO acknowledge his abilities we
mfast say we are in favor Of an earn
est worker in the Senate. VIZ have
all the needed dignity and aristocra-
tic polish in Thurman; let us now
have a worker like Morgan.

At a soldiers reunion in Holmes
County, a resolution was adopted
favoring General George W. Morgan
for United States Senator. Morgan
in the Senate would honor the State.
Whatever might be the personal pre-

GRAFT could help hut feel proud with
such a man as Morgan in the Sen

One Of the most important duties
the incoming Legislature will have
to perform, is the election of a Unit
ed States Senator, in the place of
Stanley Matthews. + But
we would suggest this sort of a com
promise; Ewing has a sure thing in
the House, where the Democracy of
the Fairfield district will keep him
the rest of his natural life; then, put
gentleman George in the Senate
and the country will have the serv-
ice of both these eminent statesmen.
That settles it. Ewing in the House
and Pendleton in the Senate. Hur-
rah! For both of them.

The trouble with Tom Ewing's
candidacy for Senator seems to be in
the fact that he resides in the same
Congressional District with Thur
man. 1t is thought best to scatter
these offices, anyhow to a sufficient
extent to get them out of the same
District.

Agatha's Wooer.
4 Hallow Een Story.

Agatha Winthrop, stood alone in dark ness, pressing her hands upon her tem pies to still tbeiy throbhing, thinking wishing, yearning, all her soul astir will the consciousness of thWarted yOuth anf life. In the next room, Wenred to sl"e[ lay the invalid woman who claimed hel every waking moment, and in all the rambling old house there was no one bul these two The negro couple who wait ed on them in .hc daytime were asfteE in their cabin. Tue gray Virginia man sion, with its historic associations anC family traditions, was strange and new to this lonely watcher, although it hat been the Aume of her mothers kindred ip past generations, and tonight she was pining as never before for tue dear familiar New England fireside.
 It had hcen thought fine thing fol Agatha when her grand Aunt Peyton had selected her from the family as CCm panion and nurse, and the girl had ac uuesced, as she would have done what ever arrangement might have been made for her.
 Good, quiet, patient little Agatha !! all the others had said. Just the per son for sick room l
 To her it had not seemed so at the time, and it seemed less and less so as the weeks heightened into months anC the months into years but the little sal ary which belonged to the position had become, in the vcissitudes of time, 8 ne cessity to those at home
 The constant confinement, the exaC tions to which she was daily subjected had worn her spirit at length to d crisis of absolute agony.
 "How loug?" she said to herself. How longY' and then a sudden ter TOT of her own thoughts seized her as she remembered words that Miss Peytor had spoken to her in some of ger luciC intervals, aqd her imagination fevered itself with the fancy of a grim face grimmer than ever, and stilled in death
 With her aching eyes still fixed on the dim outlines of the landscape, she began slowly drawing the pins from her satin smooth hair, putting off as long as Lossi ble the relighting of her lamp, a curious scene flashed across the darkness, likt the views of a magic lantern. On the ridge of land which lay between tbt neighboring farm and the desOIateC grounds of the Peyton Mansion, a negro woman scudded along, carrying a swing ing lamp Behind her followed girl il dress, whose loose and flowing tashior betokened 1t night robe. After an in teryal, another white figure and stii another, passed by the same patb. I'm light of the swinging lamp gleamed anC disappeared in different and ever nor distant parts of the grounds, and pres ently through the still night air cant peals of ringing, girlish, laughter, bu half suppressed.
 Suddenly lhe meaning of this sirangf scene occurred to Agaths. It was tn, eve of All Saints Day, and she coalt guess at the foolish pranks the neighbors girls, with thsir guests, had been play ing.
 Longing to be of and among them, i entered her head to find relief througl ifhe very disturbance of her own mind
