with Senator Vest, of Missouri: "Ben Butler
couldn't carry Missouri if nominated by
convention every day between this aud the
election. That sort of talk comes from Re-
publcans, not from Democrats. Give US
Carlisle or Morrison or Cox for Speaker, and
Mcdonald and Cleveland on the presidential
ticket, and the result Is assured. That's my

A MAN wears out in political Office sooner
now than formerly. We hear of worn out
statesmen everywhere. Ii they do not wear
out in popularity they do in health. The
once fresh, fat Gov. Waller, of Connecticut
is now said to have shriveed into lot Of

his door and dog his footsteps are said to be
the cause of his decline. Let the governor
load up his shotgun.
The Courier Journal says let the farmers,
who have sheep, observe that the patriotic

THE Charlotte ~. c. journal suggests that
"Words are things, and at no time So much
as in political campaign are they potent for
good or evil. There is no use in splitting
