Urging Harmony.

New York, Sept. A. The Democratic ma
tional executive committee held n session to-
day. The entire session WAS devoted to the
consideration of the condition of the party
in Virginia The discussion showed that the
committee was unwilling to ignore the branch
of tho Democracy in the state known as
the Readju,ters By officially recognizing the
regular organization of the party. They all
agreed that every honorable means should be
used to bind the two wings together. After
every member had expressed his opinion the
committee unanimously passed the following:
Resolved, That the national Democratic
committee view with great interest the move.
ment now In progress in Virginia to harmo-
nize on single electoral ticket the sutfrages
of all her citizens who desire the election
of the Democratic candidates for the
presidency and vice presidency, and the e1-
ertion of the influence of that great Demo-
cratic commonwealth in favor Of constitu-
tional liberty, fraternity between the sec
tons and adm 'nistrative reform. The COM
nittee desire to express their hearty sympa-
thy with that movement TO reconcile the diff
ferences in Virginia by the substitution of a
single electoral ticket for the two now in the
field, confident that it will receive the sup
port of all Virginians who honestly desire the
success Of Democratic principles and the cleo
ton of Hancock and English.

the paupers and numberless other things.
Besides this, our charter Is wofu'ly defective
in many aspects, and changes have to be
provided for against the assembling Of the
next legislature. Properly to attend to al
this business will fill the measure of ones
time and skill, and the record Of Judge Goods
past connection with social and other organi
cations is guarantee that all required energy
and ability will DO thrown into the responsible
work. And now that the ballot box
has disclosed tho will Of the
people after the accepted method, let all
good citizens sustain the administration in
the general veal. Let the harshness, the as
perities, the bitterness of over-heatcd blood
when the pEaanxes were charging, be now
forgotten; let the hot scorin that last week
Kissed from the volcanic craters Of political
excitation, now settle down into quiet sub
sidcnce, and in the richer lava of tho result
let better vegetation spring for the coming
time. Er-Mayor Thurmond SAW At to take
his appeal from tho councils action in his
case to the people who placed in power him
and them, and the people have
rendered their verdict in clear
and explicit tones, and MS IL was urged that
the voter soyeregns and not the council,
were the parties to act, the logical sequitur
is that he bow gracefully to the decision of
the tribunal before which he preferred to lay
his grievances. That he made..a brave fight,
strong canvass, tho best that could be made
perhaps, against The overwhelming odds that
stood arrayed against him, however repre-
hensble in many of its phases, let none of
his foes or opponents gainaAy now in the
hour of bis defeat, but in his own language
of last year, on the occasion Of his election
in April, "let every well wisher of the city
bow obedience to the peoples expressed
will"

To the Memory Of Colonel Jarret Gray
Dent.

The subject of this sketch was born 10
North Carolina, April Isl, 1916, and died IN
this city, September 18th, at ll;2O p. M
after painful illness. Few men have led
more aborious, energetic, and useful life.
He was connected, as contractor, with
various important lines of railroads in Ten
nessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi aud Louisiana. During the late
war, he and some of his sons, volunteered at
the first tap of the drum, and he was subse-
oucntly sent to West Virginia, to the salt
works. After the war, in connection with
Colonel ia, Richardson, Of New Orleans he
constructed the Mississippi leVees In Lou
isiana AM Mississippi After that he re-
moved his family to this city, where he
originated and built the Main street railroad,
which has proved n profitable investment,
contributing go much.to public convenience,
and led the way to the construction OF other
like roads.
Although the motto "De mortuis nil nisi
bonum," is but too often apparent in obitua-
ries, the faults being forgotten, yoL during, an
mountaineering of over twenty-five
years, the writer has found no
one who did not thoroughly trust,
honor and love our dead friend no one ever
equalled him in acts of genuine kindness aud
charity according to hi5'means; and some
families in this city have found in him when
"in need friend indeed" In short, his hon
es ", charitsbleness, hospitality and freedom
from all guile and deceit were provorbial.
He always took u leading part in any social,
educational or public enterprise, and often too
lavishly, considering his resources Grip
pied by tho war. And not only WAS pc
u Christian in name, but he merited that
name more justly than very many who claim
it,

appropriately, wrote for another purpose

MAINE.

The news from Maine this morning is ex.
hilerating and cheering Our press dis
patches tell us that tho Fusion ticket is
elected for state officers, that both houses OF
the Legislature are secured, and four menu
bers of congress captured. This
is great defeat for the Ropub-
licans, and tho Ohio and Indiana
elections coming right after, on the Cd Of
next month, the moral effect in those states
must bc very damaging to Republican
c. ances of success. 1t may be said to put
at rest all doubts of Democratic victory In
Indiana, and with the talk Of late of chances
for Democratic success In Ohio, II may win
that state too, but We hardly anticipate
SO much. The prestige of ono victory goes a
long way toward winning another. Troops
always fight better with lsurels on their
brows than when defeat has filed their hearts
with doubt and dread. II looks Ms though
ground swell for Hancock .and English
was beginning to roll high. The election in
Vermont, although that state went Republic
can, was TO the advantage Of the Demo.
Gratis, because they accomplished what they
started in to do, all they hoped to do, to re-
duce the Republican majority. Carrying
Maine in the state election is no positive Ms
sursace that it will go against Garfield in
November The Democrats and Green
hackers have hard work ahead of them yet.
If Indiana and Ohio should both go Demo.
cratic in October it will greatly aid in defeat.

1t will assure to the Democracy New York,

Pennsylvania, and il might be Illinois also
But we don't desire to hold out hopes Of
carrying Pennsylvania or illinois for the
Democracy under any contingency. but it il
not impossible. AT any rate, Maine wen,

Judge Thurmond Talks

A HERALD reporter called on JUDGE
Thurmond at his residence on north Lamar
street last night to learn what steps, If any, he
proposed taking in regard to the office OF
mayor, it having been stated that he would
take action in the courts. He stated that bs
did not know yet what course he would pur.
sue. When asked to what he attributed his
defeat, he replied that it was to the course Of
eulldozlng, pursued BY the workers for Judge
GOOD; voters who would have cast their bal.
lots for him were afraid to 20 to the nolls
They were intimidated and others were kant
away by threats Of losing patronage. /,
was true the election was very Quiet. but h
was owing to the fact that his supporters had
been overawed and had given wav
to the other side which ran ths
election TO suit themselves.

THE MAYORALTY ELECTION

The contest between tho two msyoralty
candidates, Judge John j. Good and Judge
j. M. Thurmond closed last evening at G
O'Clock in favor of the former, by ma ority
as reported elsewhere in this paper. The
canvass has been marked by unusual vigor
and energy on the part of each side, with
their respective adherents, and, we regret to
say, with more than bitterness and
asperity, with personalisn that has not
been calculated TO appreciate our peo-
pie in the estimation of Wis
itor or stranger. By his dignifed, temper.
alto course Judge Good, however. has added
to the high estimate which he already on.
Joyed prior to the canvass, and the city is to
be congratulated upon the selection of 90
worthy a representative. The city of Dallas
has arrived at that state, md her prospects
are such that che requires municipal gov
eminent and an executive that will not only
DO equal to the emergencies, but will reflect
honor upon those who place them in office,
There will be delegations to be received and
entertained, delegations on railroad matters,
manufacturing interests, commercial affairs,
etc, etc, and the head of tho city
government ought always to be of such
standing that he will not only impress
these most favorably, but will DO able in.
diligently to discuss with them whatever an.
pertains to the welfare of the citizens. In
Judge Good intellectually, morally and SO.
cially, Dallas has just such representative.
For the mayor and council Of this citv ,bsre
is much to do in the way of active work an.
pervision, reorganization, etc. 1t ia no Itch,

A Republican Expenditure OF $50, 900,
the Democratic Drop Being $1,000

New York, Sept. 13.--Whle the Ropubli-
cans at the national headquarters are very
much olated over the news from the Yer
mont election, the Democrats are not ospee'
tally discouraged. The latter say they had
not Of course had any notion of being able 10
carry the state. They made a
contest in Vermont simply be-
cause the Republicans had announced
a determination to obtain an increased
majority. The Democrats had prevented
this and this is all they had undertaken.
There was no gain that the Republicans could
boast of. Mr.. Smalley, of the Democratic
national committee from Vermont returned
from there to-day, and said he was perfectly
satisfied at the result. 1t would not have
been strange, he said, to have seen majority
Of 10000 for the Republicans, for they had
spent money lavishly and had
worked hard The Democrats used not
more than So, 1000 there, while tho RegpbIi'
cans expended at least $4,000 AT The Re-
publican headquarters there is considerable
jubiIation over the result in Vermont, The
claim is made that the Republican msiorlty
will be $4,000 and that this is decided Re-
pcbhcan gain. Colonel Hooker, who has re-
turned from Vermont, thinks that this state
"did itself proud" and that it is an augury
of Republican success in the other states.
