Captain Kennedy, Of the Hotel Pick
wick, sent for the HERALD correspon-
dent tonight, and made the follow
ing statement in regard to =.
Dallas, asking that the HERALD
make it public. He says Bennett came
to the hotel and got weeks board. At
the end of that time he came to him, told
him he had no money, and wanted to
give Capt. Kennedy possession of his
law library, worth at least
captain told him he did not
wish to take his books; that it was all
and If he did not succeed in establishing
himself, the debt could be considered
that he knew man of
homer when he saw him and would
be pleased to help him to that extent.
Bennett was very grateful and at the
end of the month again proffered the
library. Capt. Kennedy desires to say
that MIR. Bennett was in no way hotel
beat, but gentleman in every sense of
the word. This matter may be a small
thing to the world, but Mr.. Bennett has
relatives and friends in Dallas, and
Capt. Kennedy feels it his duty to set
the character of the dead man before
the people correctly.
From the preparations going on Fort
Worth is to have an immense time on
the 9th. She will show her Democratic
and demonstrate to Dallas
that she is not much Republican.
Fred Warde had a crowded house to-

RichmOnd's Ratification.

RICHMOND, Nov. Is. - The city is
crowded with thousands of strangers
and Democratic clubs from the sur
rounding country, the occasion being
the grand celebration over the election of
Cleveland and Hendricks. Business is
suspended and the city draped with
flags. The air is filled with the BOOM
ing of cannons.
The great jubilee in the celebration of
the election OF Cleveland and Hendricks
began at sun rise, when the city was
awakened by the booming of artillery.
A grand salute of 2l9 guns was fired a.
o'clock. For half an hour the air was
filled with the din of shrieking steam
whistles from locomotives and engines
of manufacturing establishments, the
blowing of tin horns and the ringing of
bells. The business houses and the resi-
dences on the principal streets were
decorated. The streets were filled with
thousands of strangers. There Is u
grand parade tonight. Business has
been virtually suspended tor the day,
many of the stores having closed.
The procession occupied an hour and
a half mn IN passing, passing a given given
pSins Ears ablsae bhs p1,hihp"l wth stossss
while many houses were illuminated.
The members of the Richmond press,
clad in rich knightly armors
and costumes, led the pro-
cession. Then followed the various
political organizations of this city and
other points. Then all business inter-
ests and hundreds of mounted citizens.
1t is estimated that 5000 to 10000 persons
were in line. The sidewalks along the
ranks were packed with people and
every window and other avail
able point occupied with speeta-
tors. A striking feature OF the
procession was the presence in line OF u
club OF colored Democrats, from Char
lotte county, Virginia, numbering
100 men, and number of colored
men of this city and Lynchburg,
When the procession reached the end Of
the route the company united in singing
an ode, the concluding verse of which
was.
"rhat old acquaintance Is remembered,
And no fals- border line
Divides he land our fathers won,
In the days of Aud Lang Syne."
The speaking then began and was con-
timed ill midnight.

Falls County Redeemed.

MARLIN, Nov. 1S.-[Special. For the
first time since the wal, Falls county has
an entire set of Democratic officials, and
for the first time gave a majority for the
entire state ticket. No people ever
worked harder to be freed from the rule
Of an unscrupulous gang than did the
people OF this county. The organ of the
independents, the Falls County Index,
died with its issue of last week. During
its two years Of existence it was prolific
of much mischief, and its demise is
more in the way of blessing than
otherwise; and the death of the 1nde-
pendent party was the occasion
participated in by thousands
Col. 4. e. Watson, the new member
to the legislature from Falls, and who
defeated the sanctified Etheridge, is a
man of large culture and familiar with
the wants Of the people, and withal a
successful farmer. Mr.. Watson is ma
tive OF Virginia and came to Texas
by dint of energy and industry is to-day
one OF the wealthiest men in the county.
He would be good man at the head of
the finance committee.
The success of the Democracy after
being deposed from power for twenty
four years, is such good news that
we can hardly realize it,
are settling down to the conclusion that
for the next four years, at least, the
reins of government will be in the hands
of Democratic president, and that he
will administer the laws wisely and
well. We hope that President Cleve-
land will not be run by machine politi-
ci ms, but that he will be governed by
the principles heretofore shown in his
public life of doing equal and exact JUS
lice to all. We predict he will be a
great success as president. His great
honesty mus. be admired by every one.
