MI. j. 7. Lester gave his perform
ance on the tight rope Saturday even
ing, as was advertised last week. The
rope was stretched across Main street
from the top of the we'll known hard
ware store of G. A. Dewey to the cor
ner of Mr.. S. Doan's opposite, and was
some 25 or 30 feet from the ground.
Mr.. l.. was advertised to give an exhi-
bition in the afternoon, but owing to
the wind he did not attempt it. A
large crowd was out to witness the
daring fellows skill, and more small
boys and little girls were there than
one could easily count. Mr.. Lester,
on the whole, did better than was ex-
pected, and great credit is due him for
his courage.

A Democratic Caucus Who Should
be Admitted.

Col J. J. Shannon, in Meridian News.
The papers are discussing the question As
to whether the Democratic members Of the
Legislature should hold a caucus to nolai-
nate Senator and other officers to be cleo
ted by that body. 1t is urged against a
caucus, that the opposition to the Democrat
e,y Is so small, that nothing can be gained by
1t, and that to exclude from participation in
the selection of officers the Greenback and
independent members may weaken the par
Nv in the Presidential election. We are I'M
able to see the force of this objection. 1t
the Democratic party preserves its ofganiza-
ton, we have no fears of the result of that
election, and We think strict adherence to
the caucus system, and the nsuages OF the
party will be the surest means 10 carry the
State. We are, therefore, in favor o. eau
Gus of the Democratic members of the Leg
isIature to select candidates for every Office
to be filed by the Legislature. We presume
no Greenbaeker or Independent would de-
sire to take part in such caucus; none
should be admitted, but those who support
ca the party ticket at the last election and
are known to be in utilization with the Demo- /
cratic organization.
