Too Exacting.

The editor of the Democrat as
sumes to sit in judgment upon the hun
dreds of Democrats who are opposing
the whole or portions of the Democra-
tic county ticket He cracks his whip
over their heads and demands that they
shall pull true. But the editor does
not hesitate for himself to kick over
the traces all he wants to- He splits
upon the platform on which Davis is
running for congress, and tumbles the
concern overheard, leaving hardly
splinter large enough for tooth pick.
He can rear and tear, and thresh
around, smashing the political crock
cry in the Democratic household, until
there is nothing left of it, and he con
siders it all right. Why not, neigh
Dor, accord the same privileges to all
members of your party? Havn't they
a right to think and act for themselves?
They probably see as much to condemn
in the make up of the Democratic
county ticket, as you do in that of con-
gresham. This is free country, un-
der the blessing of God, and we are all
privileged to vote as we please. There
are many Democrats this year who rec
ognize that fact, and propose to exer-
else this right and discharge this duty
to their hearts content. The Democrat
may not like it, but we think the thing
will be doue all the same.

as a democratic candidate or make room for
someone else. -Democrat.
Mr.. Davis, do you hear? No, MIR.
Davis does not hear. Mr.. Davis will
not hear. Mr.. Davis does not want to
hear. He prefers to lie low, straddle
the fence and play double He ex-
poets by his non committal course to
catch the votes of all Democrats,
whether they are in favor Of honest
money or the other SOFT He closes
his moutl. and says nothing. He has
no policy on the finance question which
he dare avow. Last year he run upon
Ed. Bragg's Fond du Lac platform,
for Lieut.. Governor, which honest
money Democrats repudiated. If he
has changed his views, nobody knows
the fact. Now he is running for con.
gress upon platform no more salts
factory to honest money Democrats
than the one with which he went down
last year. The Watertown Demo-
crat repudiated that platform, as it re-
repudiates the one on which he is run
ing now, yet the Democrat hoists his
name and gives him quasi support.
We do not believe that Democrats who
are sincerely in favor of honest money
will vote for him. How can they do so
consistently? The ouly candidate for
congress in this district who reflects
their views on the currency question is
Mr.. Caswell. He does not dodge the
issue We all understand his position
A vote for Caswell is a vote for money
worth 100 cents on the dollar. That
is what business men want. That is
what the day laborer wants. That is
what every body wants and must have,
to ensure prosperity and good times
That is what the Watertown Democrat
processes to want, and yet it favors
Davis who, for aught anybody knows,
is fiatist and would flood the country
with money likely to be no better than
confederate scrip. We do not believe
that the people of this district want
such man to represent them in con-
gress.

Rise up, Mr.. Davis.

1t is high time that Mr.. Davis should de-
fine his position, and accept or reject the
nomination. Up to the present time the
democratic side of the campaign in this
district has simply been matter of "chids
play'-if the gentleman (Mr. Davis de-
sires to be elected to congress let him say
so and place himself in accord with the peo-
pie whose votes he will require for the pur-
pose The greenbackers have a candid ate
of their own, and so have the republicans
and now let him Davis announce himself

A few weeks ago the. Jefferson Ban
ner promised to give Davis 1900 maj
over Caswell in this county. Last
week 1t pledged 1000. Next week it
will probably get down to 500, and by
the 9Th of November it will be mighty
glad if it can be sure of any majority
at all.

CAREFUL leaders of the Democrat
for the past six months will have noted
Its Inconsistency in its advocacy of hon.
est money, and its present support of
Romano E. Davis for congress. We
might, if we chose, copy some ex.
tracts from articles which have appear
ed in the Democrat, and which would
contrast strangely with its present
quasi support of Mr.. Davis. Consist
eacy is a jewel which evidently has no
place in the crown encircling the brow
of the young man who edits the Demo.

THE Jefferson Banner lets drive at
the REPUBLICAN as follows.
1t is in favor of making "Boss" Reyes U.
S Senator, and to accomplish this would
steal The widows mite, rob the orphan of
his heritage, deny the divinity of Christ,
and sell his soul to the devil. Without in
telligence enough to see the ridiculous, dis
graceful position he occupies, he wallows
in falsehood as does the sow in the mud,
contented to grovel in filth in order that its
master may grow rich on the result of it's
degradation.
The above shows what comes from
ones mixing his drinks. 1t is a dan
gerous practice, and the Banner man
ought to stop it.

WHEN J. K. Ryder was a peoples
candidate for Senator. eight years ago
against Mr.. Woodman, the Watertown
Republican supported him to the best
of its ability, and called him an honest,
upright man and fully qualified to re-
present the county in the Senate
Jefferson Banner.
If the Banner will consult the files of
the REPUBLICAN it will find that we had
not word to say in favor of Ryder
eight years ago.

tell you of rather daring theft COM
United in our quiet little town. On
ne night OF the eighteenth instant
on1e one entered the private residence
Mr.. George, q merchant of our town,
nd took his pants from within a few
eet of his bed, and extracted from the
pockets thereof $50 IN currency; a fine
watch and chain and pistol. The thief
gas generous enough to leave Mr.. G.. 5
pants just outside his front door. The
same night the hotel kept by Mrs.
through both the lower and upper
oms, gathering up pants promiscu-
isly. IL appears that the evenings re
bipts at this place footed up as fol-
ows: Pants of A. b. Story, county
attorney, $40; pants of Mr.. Croft,
S7; pants Of Mr.. Castles, of your city,
|$5, and several small amounts FIR, m

bernhard, went in hot pursuit of the
thief next morning, but returned in
INC eveping without success. Ga Sun
Nisy morning he started again In COM
pany with A. B. Story, P. G. Fulcher,
and VIM. HayW God. A few miles south
east Of Blanco, they struck the trail of
q footman in rather suspicious place,
and determined at once to follow it
up. After travelling through a very
rough country for twelve or fifteen
miles, they overhauled a man who
called himself Ed Johnson. On exam
nation it was found that Mr.. John
son had in his possession Mr.. G's.
watch and pistol and nearly all the
missing money. The prisoner was
returned to Blanco, and is now
safely lodged In our bran new Jail.
All honor and praise to our efficient
sheriff and his energetic run. The
man johnson Is about. FIVE feet eight
inches high, red complicated, sandy
mustache, large light blue eyes, about
thirty years old, had on a checked
coat and pants of wooden material, the
checks or stripes about one inch wide.

Fort Mason short time since. J.

ALL ABOUT THE PULSE.

Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse in
health; then by comparing it with what
it was when he is ailing he may have some
idea of the case. Parents should know
the healthy pulse of each child, as now
md then person is born with remark
ably slow or fast pulse, and the very case
in hand may be of that popularity. An
infants pulse is 145; child of seven years,
about eighty; and from twenty to sixty
years. it is seventy beats minute, declin-
:ng to sixty at fourscore. healthful
grown PERSONS pulse beats seventy times n
minute. There may be good health down
to sixty; but if the pulse always exceeds
seventy there is disease. The machine
is working itself out there is fever and in
hammation somewhere, and the body is
eeding on itself-as in consumption, when
the pulse is quick, that is, over sixty,
gradually increasing with decreased chances
of cure, until it reaches 110 or 120. when
death comes before many days. When
lhe pulse is over seventy for months, and
there is a slight cough, the lungs are
fected.

DEATH AS AN ApPETIzER.-We do not
know when we have read of a harsher IN
stance of the cool selfishness engendered by
a longing to inherit wealth than the follow
ing: The present Earl of Harrington, owner
of the famous yacht The Bessie, y is the
son of the Hon. and Rev. Fitzroy Stanhope
a convivial divine, such as Mr.. Trollope has
depicted in the father OF the Countess We
sey-Neroni A French Able once told an
English brother what he longed for was
zone of your leavings Qivings), charming
sinecure, with nothing to do but believe IN
God" Such a thing suited the father of
our present noble lord, but not the son, who
was miserable, as poor engineer. He was
at breakfast one morning and happened to
be thinking how much better meal he
might look forward TO some day if his
young cousin, Lord Harrington, was not
such healthy fellow In the midst of his
meditations a dispatch announced to him
that Lord Harrington had been killed in a
steeple-chase, and that the immense estate
and tile were his. He changed his order
for breakfast on the credit of that telegram.
