A STRAIanroUT FIGuT-Reports are
coming up from all parts of the State as 70
q combination movement between certain
disaffected Democrats and the leading lights
of the old Radical party. In the lower
counties where tho colored people nar$ az
hrsen umerical majority, the Democats have
become frightened before they have meet the
enemy in open battle and tried their real
strength ut the ballotbox. The republicans
have we'll ll>defned policy which they arc
determined to carry out at every cost, anu
are making supreme struggle 1er a ma
iority in the legislature. They have taken
up Hampton, not from choice but from nee
cssity, and are making the fight tor the
legislature. Here they intend to take their
stand and by opposition to the adtninlstra-
ton so weaken the government as % render
all efforts at real reform of no avail and In
this way destroy the Democracy and restore
the radical party to power. This is all
wrong The Democracy is strong enough
to subduc all opposition and overcome any
majority, if it will only go to work in ITS
own ranks and frown down every attempt

about to be made. We are either good
Democrats or we are republicans, or we are
worse. The moment we fall into the nets
our enemies have spread for us and agree
to the least surrender of our rights, that mo-
meut we seal the doom Of the party and
destroy the safety of the State. Every
nominee of the Democratic party should be
required to speak out Oh this subject. NO
honest Democrat, no true man, will suffer
himself to be used as tool by the radicals
who are in deadly conspiracy against US

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
(.O:)-


a dreary place would be this earth
We're there no little people IN IT.
The song Of life would lose its mirth'
Were there no children to begin IT,
No little forms like buds to grow
And make the admiring heart SURRENDER
To make the thrilling love caress.
To keep the thrilling love cords tender
No. babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet toward slumber tending;
No little knees in prayer to bend'
Our lips the sweet words lending.
What would the mothers do for work,
Were there no pants or jacket tearing?
No tiny dresses to embroider
No cradle for their watchful carin!
No rosy boys at wintry morn.
With sntchcl to the school-house hasting;
No merry shouts at home they rush,
No precious morsel for their tasting.
The ssrnsS souls would gst more stern
And men to stole coldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
For in that cline towards which we reach'
Thro' Times mysterious dim unfolding,
y, little ones with chcrub smile
Are still our Fathers face beholdlng'
So said His voice, in whom we trust,
When in Judea's realm preacher,
lie made child confront the proud
And be in simple guiso their teacher
Lies song, indeed, would lose its charms
Wcro there no babies TO begin 1T;
A doleiul place this world wuold be
We're there no little people in It,
