In the late Gubernatorial race the
vote of the counties forming the Fourth
Judicial district was, when cast up, "a
follows: for Blackburn 4,921, Evans -
22l, Cook Lib. Thus it appears that
the vote against the Democrats was 81
334, and this would have overcome the
Democratic vote if it had been divided
equally, or even nearly SO.
But the Republicans east 600 votes
more for Hayes than for Evans in Da-
viess alone, and they can cast, if they
wish, many more votes in the district
than 2,S2l. With the Greenbacll
strength they can add more than fifty
per cent. to this. Can any one fail To
see that the Republicans might come to
the front, spring Il candidate for Com
monwealth's Attorney upon the track
on the eve of the election, and put their
man into place and power over di-
vided Democratic vote.
The enemy is wide awake and alive
to the situation, and it is time that
Democrats should consider the situation
with reference to the interests of the
party. Let them ask themselves ado
we owe all, glance to the party or to an
individual in antagonism with it T!
Should we ignore party organization to
foster personal aspirations? Is it wise
or safe to go hack on party precedents?
Is this an eff year" in politics or is the
life of the party not affected by the re-
suits of this years election? If the Re
publicans should take advantage of the
situation and elect II Commonwealth
Attorney it would go all over the coun-
try to the injury of the Democratic par
ty, and Democrats would not even have
the poor consolation of blaming the Re-
publicans. The Democratic disorgan-
izers are doing much to bring about
such result and it is the duty of
thoughtful and true Democrats to avert
such IA misfortune by Il united support
of the Democratic nominees.-NesseI'-
ger and Examiner.

GalI0ntry Of John Adams.
BY the Hon. Josiah Chimney.

In those old times it happened that
a certain young lawyer named John
Adams was won't to visit good deal
at..the house of q great-grandfather of
mine, who had large landed estate
and several daughters, and the fam
lily tradition is that one of these ladies
was not wholly uninteresting to the
young fellow who had just begun his
struggle with the world. Just what
it all amounted to it is impossible to
say at this distance of time neither
would it be well to say it, even were
it possible. The historical facts are
that my great aunt married Ebenzer
Storer, gentleman of some preten-
sions, who was for forty years the
treasurer of Hartford college, and
that young Adams married Miss
Abigail Smith. Eventful years rolled
by, and l, young man just entering
life, was deputed to attend my vener-
able relative on visit to the equally
venerable ex-President. Both parties
were verging upon their Goth year.
They had met very infrequently, if at
all, since the days of their early
intimacy. When Mrs. Storer entered
the room, the old gent eman's face
lightened up, as he exclaimed with |
ardor: "What! Madam, shall we
not walk in Cupid's grove together ?"
TO say the truth, the lady seemed
somewhat embarrassed by this utterly
for salutation. 1t seemed to
hurry her back through the past with
such rapidity as fairly to take away
her breath. But self-possession came
at last, and with it suspicion of
girlish archness, as she replied "Ah,
sir, it would not be the first time that
we walked there

The Happy Home "

To the Editor of the Comet
The performance of the children of
the Misses Writings school, at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening last
was indeed a brilliant success. A
large and appreciative audience was
present and manifested its pleasure
and delight by frequent applause.
Much credit is due the teachers and
managers of tnis school for the
marked improvement of mind the
children exhibited in their songs and
Rotations and "acting OH the stage"
and for the unique design of costume
displayed on the occasion. May
harvest of rich successes be in store
for the ladies conducting this school
who have thus shown themselves so
worthy of the patronage and good
will of our community.
Like seraphs of brighter world the
beautiful little beings moved before
the public vision and doubtless re-
moved from many tired mind much
that would not be thought of to admit
the gay spirits of light and life.
Those of the young ladies of the
South who have dedicated their lives
to directing the young of our country
how to act and think when they
shall have entered into a larger sphere
of life, cannot be spoken of in terms of
too great commentator. Such edu-
cational enterprises under the guidance
of the sterling, energetic women of
are already showing their
good results in the annals Of our age.
1t is education, says Phillips, the
Irish orator, that gives this human
dross its currency and since modern
times seems disposed to recognize the
ability of women to occupy the |
capacities of man, it speaks proudly
for those ladies of our land, who of
their own accord raise up institutions
in our midst, offering the advantages
IF liberal education to their sex.
Bouquets Of flowers were shOwered
Ipon the stage in honor of each credit

An Eloquent Tribute to n Physical

Col. Meek does not belong to Lown-

cord is unblemished by one solitary
desertiOn from his party, worker
who has never grown tired, patriot
who has never sulked in his tent, an
eloquent orator and a lawyer, whose
reputation has passed beyond the
hounds of the state of Mississippi, a
heart devoid of guile as an infants
and full of affection as a wOman's and
a courage to advocate what Is right
however heavy the blows may fall,
he stands huge Colossus, his left foot
planted in Alcorn, his right in Lown-
des and his face fronting to the Cap
