We are authorized by Mr.. Theo-
dore Krekel to state that he is not the
author of the article signed Southern
Democrat" but that he handed it in
by request and under a pledge of se-
crecy, He read the article, but did
not anticipate its effect He will see
the writer and ask to be released
from the responsibility, as it
has brought him into trouble with
his friends in the community. We
thought strange that such a pleasant
faced, quiet young man as Mr.. Krekel
would or could construct such a ma
liciouS SANDER on a community in
which he has lived so long. He was
a mere cats waw in the hands of an
older man and a cunning manager.
Now, let the real writr
have the manhood to come out and
avow his name. Public sentiment
and the peculiar circumstances will
justify Mr.. Krekel in divulgiug the
name, whether Southern Democrat"
consents or not.

some white republicans will not vote

the ordinary grounds of partisanship.
Political connections do not require

AT midnight last night DR.. Tanner
had tasted fifteen and half days.
He drove to Central park yesterday
and was gone two hours. He uses
water and ice now and appears weaker
and to be falling, When he retired
for the night his pulse was ninety
eight, temperature ninety-eight and
respiration eighteen. Shouldhe break
down now, it can in part be attributed
to the bad management of the doctors
and the excitement caused by noisy,
hammered crowds. He has won
derful will, power, and his fast up to
date is a worlds wonder, perhaps
never surpassed since the days of
miracles. Some of the fakirs Of India
have pretended to fast six months in
a state of trance or heavenly sleep,
but they had no New York doctors to
wrangle over them. There has been
lenough of fuss over and about Doctor
Tanner to upset the nerves of a
healthy, well-fed man. IF he holds
out twenty days he should be credited
with forty and at once furnished a
watermelon to start on.
