New York-10 dailies, 80 Of all sorts.
Illinois and Missouri show a per cent

while Colorado leads all others in the
percentage of increase. both Of daily

Tennessee, Vermont, and West Vir-

THE REASON WHY.

A goodmany years ago, when certain
place in Texas was very small town,
quite a number Of prominent citizens
went out on hunting expedition. One
night when they were all gathered
around the camp fire, one of the party
suggested that each man should give the
time and reason for his leaving his native
State and coming to Texas, whereupon
each one in turn told his experience.
Judge Blank had killed a man in self-de-
fense. Gen. Soandso had forged another
mans signature to check, while anoth-
er came to Texas on account of having
two wives. The only man who did not
make any disclosures was sanctimo-
nlous-looKing old man, vino, although though .
professional gambler was usually called
''Parson. =
"Well, Parson, why did you leave Ken
tucky?n
''I don't care to say anything about
it. Besides, it is only trihe. None of
you would believe me anyhow"
"Out with it Did you shoot some
body?"
mo, gentlemen, I did not. Since
you want to know so bad III tell you.
1 left Kentucky because did not build
a church,
"Deep silence fell on the group. No
such excuse for coming to Texas ever
had been heard of before. There was
evidently an unexplained mystery at the
bottom of it. The 'Parson" was called
on to furnish more light.
"Well, gentlemen, you see a congre-
CATION raised $1,000 and turned it over
to me to build church-and 1 didn't
build the church. That's all. ."-TerdS

A PICKLE.
By H. .. DoDeE.

Pretty Jemima's eyes are blue;
Her cheeks red roses are in hue;
Her teeth are pearls, her tresses gold,
And she loves pickles green and cold.
Pretty Jemima loves me, too,
If can read her eyes so blue
And yet-sometimes with pain-I see
She loves q pickle more than me.
Four pickles sour, green and cold
Her dainty fingers long will hold
Kissing her rosebud lips, but l.
never touch them, though try.
In slimy pickles on plaque
She finds a beauty that lack,
And calls 1t an aesthetic taste
Il zsa4nI,k be mere likewise lAlanad
So, jealous of those pickles cold,
] softly breathe: " am not bold
But--love me-like pickle e'en-"
II might, she laughs, ''for you're as green
was not green. Blush-red my flesh.
But was unlike her pickles, " fresh"
And, after years, alone this hour,
I'm like her pickles, cold and sour.

that was paid the Light Infantry would own

Mr.. Nails urged that if Armory Hall was
exempt, Sarepta Hall should be exempted
also.
Mr., Sweeney explained that the relations
between the stock holders and the Light
Infantry would result in giving the Armory
to the Company. Sundry civil owners OF
stock had surrendered to the Light Infantry

was refused.

Your correspondent SC f. So is all lat
sea- i'll such statements as the following,
viz:
lst, That nine out often newspapers in the
State favor Massey's candidacy, and
I'd, That the opposition to Massey comes
from three sources: lst, those who base it
on the debt; I'd, those who wish to run
themselves: or whose friends wish to run
them; Sd, the Mahoncites. Why?
Because many of the papers Of the State
are right lin the writer's opinion) in saying
but little if anything about it, and where
that is the case the paper can be set down
as opposed to Massey, while many more
like the Bedford papers, the Wythcville
paper the l.ynchburg lirgiaida, the Fred
ericksburs papers, the Norfolk papers, the
Richmond State, the West Point Star, &c,
Nc, are known TO be opposed to Massey be-
ing the candidate Of the democracy.
AS to the three sources of opposition to
Massey mentioned,
list, 1T is only necessary to say that every
democrat knows that the debt will never be
a factor in another State contest, and the
imagination of the most imaginative politi-
clan must fail to find what it has to do at
this time with national struggle.
I'd, II &c. E. S." knows any democrat
who wants TO run as Il candidate large for
Congress let him name him. The difficulty
is going TO be to get the right sort of man
10 run.
Sd, The writer Of this knows that so far
as he has heard the Mahoneites express all
opinion they want Massey 10 run, because
they have political sagacity enough to know
he will prove to be the edsisat man to beat,
from the simple fact that many of the best
democrats cannot be drivcn to vote for him
any more than horse can be made to drink
after he Is led to water. $. +. e.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 2s, 1892.

ACCORDING TO the returns of the last cleo
ton the democratic party in Virginia lacks
about twelve thousand votes TO carry the
election next fall. The only quarter from
which it is possible for it to supply this lack
is within the lines of the rcadjustcrs. What
sort of: democrats, therefore, would they be
who, when their party resorts TO the sure
and only means by which to secure the re-
uuisitc number Of votes, offset the reinforce
mcnt either by voting for the Mahoneites or
failing to vote ut all, as omc of them threat
en- to do? The strength OLA party depends
upon the fidelity of its members, and success
is difficult to achieve if when actively en-
gagged with its opponent it has at the same
time to contend against descrtion or luke
warmncSs in lis own ranks. In the existing
cXigency every true democrat will vote with
his party, and with the whole democratic
strength, reinforced by the large rcadjustcr
contingent Mr.. Massey will bring, Malone
ism will sustain Il defeat from the disastrous
effects Of which it will be impossible for it 10
