things out Of existence that has been
In existence ever since man WIS
made. Men Of Pope county, I tell
you that was one Of the most re-
maTkable conventions ever held
Isince the abatement Of Noah's flood.
/ The sense. the strain Of intellect, the
display OF craftsmanship, the grand
1 eur Of sentiment all combined, tend
! to render that instrument. the politi-
cal soothing syrup" Of .*:nerica.
And now let me ask where does the
lprinciDles OF this new departure
exist? Ii what does the democratic
principles Of this new democratic
party consist? Do they consist Of
that wonderful declaration "that all
taxation shall be advolorum 2" Do
they consist Of that wonderful ex-
|ception, aof smoke houses and corn
cribsY" Do they consist OF that won
derful LIST Whereas, that both the
dominant parties when in power
haye conducted the government for
the benefit of capital, etc, when the
democratic party has not been in
power in the government since 1860?
Do they consist Of that second
whereas, that our burdens are year
ly becoming harder to bear and we
less able to bear them?" When in
truth the burdens complained Of are
yearly becoming lighter. In 1869
this burden was 1920 per 800,
where now it is SLIGO on the same.
Let the truth come though the heav-
ems fall. Do they consist in that
declaration, "that party feutls be for
ever dismissed. etc.?" When in truth
party feuds has been augmented
rather than dismissed, for party diff
ferences were never go high in Pope
county as they are to day. Repub
lican hopes were never so bright and
expectant than they are to-day. The
enemies OF democracy were never so
jnbilant as to-day. DO they consist
OF the declaration that ga band of
producers are banded together
to rob the people?" When in truth,
no such band Of robbers exist, and
no such robbery has ever been COM
mitted. Do they consist in charging
the democratic party with the pres
ent existing state of the tariff? When
in truth, the democratic party has
never been in power IN congress and
hence, could not and should not be
held responsible for corrupt radi-
cal administration, which has been
beyond their control. Do they con
sist in making war upon the demo-
cratic party when that party is do

now / am 4 b Of +. Aud John the
Baptist arose and said here Is much

voice cried Amen. And / saw John
lead the multitude down into pool
Of water and give them a political
immersion, and Immediately the wa
ter was changed into corruption and
when they saw this the whole multi
tnde except the wise man fell in

"B. Of F." and upon the west end

in the midst Of the coffin / saw a

Man what meaneth those things and
be said unto me art thou SO ignor-
ant as TO not know Of the death Of

And they being twin brothers !
thought it proper to place them In

buzzing and Topping of wings and
looked up and behold the sun was
darkened by reason OF the many
buzzards coming in the direction OF

Man said unto me let us make haste
and bury the dead, and said unto
him let the dead bury the dead. And
he dug an deep pit and lowered the
coffin saying ! will bury them even

after he had covered up the coffin he
fell upon his face and wept saying
now that have lived to see the
death and burial Of my party my
troubles are greater than / am able

Last Saturday AT clock b M, Coils.
lJ. w. House or Searcv and James
Mitchell or Little Rock, opened the
| presidential and gdhernatoriai canvas 8
i I'm Russellville by addressing large
aud enthusiastic audience Of our beet
citizens.
| Col. House first took the stand and
delivered clear, logical y nd forcIble
/ speech in Which he rcferred In con-
vincing terms to the undemocratic and
hurtful tendencies Of che republican
party. He spoke OF the extrava gance
Of the national government, the manner
Of conducting campaigns. the tariff
question and the frauds Of the national
full tribute to the democratic standard
bearers and predicted their success at
the ensuing election.
Col. w. G. Ford, who had requested
and was granted a division of time, at
tempted to reply to Col. Houses argu-
ments, and arraigned the democratic
party for imbecility, incomDetency and
lust for office.
Col. Mitchell was next introduced
and for forty minutes edited the people
by his instructive and incisive remarks.
After exposing the fallacy of Col.
Ford's arguments, he dwelt at length
upon the administration Of our state
government under democratic control.
He established the fact by careful COM
putation that under republican control
the expenses of government were two
thirds greater than under democratic
management. He ably advocated the
democratic state and national tickets
and closed amid cheers.
Col. House then took the stand to re-
ply to the weak and puerile arguments
of Col. Ford and IL ever speaker re-
ceived political castigation that man
is Col. Ford. His every point was ex-
amined and shown to be thread-bare
and utterly without foundation. While
some of bis statements were shown to
lack the essential elements of truth.
Col. House was frequently interrupted
by outbursts of applause, showing the
pleasure and approval Of the audience.
IL is safe to say the speech was the
finest display OF oratory and annuncia-
ton CT democratic principles ever list
ened to in RussellvilIe.

hsttsss from The People
A Watchman's Vision.

Correspondence OF the Democrat.
A few evenings since, while medi
tating upon the political condition
of our land, fell asleep and while
thus sleeping ] saw a multitude OF
b. or f. gathered together in the land
of the Cove and King William sat
upon the Throne and they reasoned
among themselves saving "What
must we do to be saved?'
And there was very wise man
among them and his strength was
great. even like unto that of a Camp
bell. and ! heard the wise man say
ing "Let us to and follow the advise
of our President of County Coun-
Gil and expell all our Brethren who
disbeieve in the b. of + ticket"
And they cried out in loud voice
saying, Amen! And Doubling
Thomas said unto them. let us con-
tinue in this till after the election,
then let us take politics out of the
order so that it may live for two
years longer and we will have an
other chance. And they said unto
the man of Great Strength thou art
extremely wise, thy advise will be
our law.
And while they vet spake concern
ing their brethren there came run
ming in mighty haste the prophet
Eliga from south easterly direction.
Ard when they saw him they said
behold our King!
And he sayeth unto them publicly
/ am not one of thy brethren, yet If
thou desirest me will secretly give
thee great assistance in expelling
and exposing thy Democratic breth-
rem so that thou mayest be able to
to keep the political secrets of the
Il. of f. And they said unto the
prophet this is the desire of our
hearts. And he said unto his secret
brethren, Hath i not written con-
corning one of thy brethren an Dem
ocrat? Yea, did / not write from
the land of Cross Plains unto the
Laborers' Herald and cause my com,
munication to be signed with the
fraudulent name OF John O'Conori
And am still willing to do all in
my power against tue Democrats Of
the land.
And the prophet Samuel fell upon
the neck Of the prophet Eliga and
rejoiced saying Hal-lelu gah thy
name be ever praised. And Doubt
ing Thomas sayeth surely this man
is our friend, may his days be long
upon the land of the "B. of f."
And Eliga continued saying, Die
not during the days Of the Rebel
lion explore the southern land as {
spy with James and Laban and re
port to thine the Federal army al
things concerning the Confederate
army? Yea, while ! was in the mer
camille business did / not do goot

Few things so impress US with the
extent and growth of our country as a
careful look at the annual Reports of
the u. 5. Land Office. The last n of
these shows that the number of acres Of
land sold by the government the last
year, was 26,634.0 41, about tWo-fifths
of which, or ll,OS2, 618, were in Dakota
OF the remainder, 3,105,8l5 wero In
Nebraska, l,646, 468 in Minnesota, and
about 1000, 900. each, in California,
Louisiana and Washington Territory,
with smaller amounts In other states
and territories.
These figures show how rapidly the
great West is being settled. And they
show, too, that the tide of immigration
flows strongly to the northwest, and
especially to Dakota. In 1881, only A.
500 acres were sold In that Territory.
But in 1882. the building Of the North
ern Pacific Il Manitoba Railroads in
creased the sales to some 1850, 900
acres, an amount which was doubled in
1888, and increased already, by about a
fourth in 1894. Though Dakota bus an
area of 80, 424 900 acres, which is near
ly a fourth greater than all of Great
Britain and Ireland, the increase of its
population is so rapid and great, that
in a few years, at the present are Of its
growth, the entire territory will be
comparatively occupied. We say COM
paratively, but it is only comparatively;
for if the whole were as densely settled
as Massachusetts 1921 to the square
mile, it would contain Il population of
over az OD0 00O people.
70 show the vast extent Of our public
lands two years ago, the unsurveyed
lands were 9S3, 063, 759 acres, which is
$50, 000, 900 more than all that had been
surveyed up to that date; so that still
there is room for millions Of settlers be-
fore the land will be full. To say no.
thing of the surveyed lands which are
not vet sold, the unsuryeyed lands Of
the United States would make 20 states
of the size of Michigan, or go states Of
the size of Connecticut
What an appeal do such facts make
TO the patriot, to the mOralist, to the
philanthropistl What an argument for
spreading right views of personal purity
and integrity, and of temperance and
Sabbath observance, and of the family
and right family instruction and train
