those who participated in them knew that
they were IN progress At all. There wasn't
note ct dlssention in any precinct; every
body seemed to want just what everybody
else wanted and didn't care much how it
was accomplished, Capt. Thomas was in
structed for In all the pre-
clncts and there was no OPP
position to him shown. The County
Convention meets next Saturday; in this
the proceedings will doubtless DO equally
tame. If the anti. Thomasltes intend to
make any fight at all they will have to
make it at Carbondale.

ceived from Paducah by Chief Myers, re-
questing him to arrest yellow negro
named Moses Taylor, who was wanted at
Paducah Tor stealing 5000. The Chief
called Constable Sheehan to his aid, scour-
cd the city aud learned that Taylor had
flown on the Illinois Central train. Tho
train was headed off at Anna by telegraph,
and the officers there arrested Taylor on the
train. At last accounts $500 of the money
had also been recovered. Chief Myers took

returned some time last night, with the
fugitive and the "swag." Taylor was at
one time employed in tho Planters House
in this city and WAS employed in the Rich

The prospects of Democratic success IN
this district were never more favorable
than they are just at the present time. The
party is in splendid trim for hard fight
and there is disposition to make hard
fight. The impression prevails very gener
ally that the still hunt of last year was n
very great mistake. 1t has been smarling
under the defeat resulting from that mis-
take ever since and has for some time been
impatiently champing its bit and paving
the ground, ready and anxious to run anoth-
er race in which it will take the bit in its
teeth, kick up its heels and give the spa
vinei and distempered old Republican
rake the toughest race it ever engaged in.
la the district at large everything is unity
and harmony in the party; there seems to
be comparatively little difference of prefer
ences for candidates, and what difference
does exist, is OF nature that will yield
cheerluIy to the decision of the party coun.
Cls. In Alexander County all in harmony,
harmony and enthusiasm. There is more
interest manifested in the party machinery
than was the case before; the young men
of the party have begun to take an active
part in the meetings, and the result is a
general revival among all elements, new
energy that pervades the whole body poll

at the ballot box next November. With
energetic men to lead the Democracy in the
district, the enthusiasm will not lag in the
meantime and the party will gain new
strength with every rise of the sun. The
Republicans cannot say as much for them
selves. They show little or no enthusiasm
in their work of preparation for the cam
paign and they must feel their way careful
ly TO guard against treachery in their own
ranks. Everything look placids enough
on the surface but there ia an undercurrent
which gives forth ominous murmurings
every now and then and which is only wait
ing for good chance to tear the founda-
ton out from under the old shell aud let it
come down into the abyss of demoraiza-
ton and defeat. Democrats have every
reason to be hopeful and the fact that they
are hopeful and will remain so, will be to
them an element of strength in the future.
