A Change.

There is stagnation in business throughout
the country. The daily papers every day for
six months past have contained reports of
mills shutting down, workmen being thrown
out of employment, or having their wages
reduced; of strikes, of bank failures, of once
prosperous firms appointing trustees, &c, &c
This is presidential year, and the Republican
party is around with the same old cry of"keep
the Republican party in power, and times will
be good" What nonsense. Ifthe prosperity
of the country depends upon the success Of
the Republican party, why is there not pros
perity now? For twenty three years the
Republican party has had full control of the
government Instead of benefiting the people,
It has set an example by official corruption
which has contaminated many of the people.
Its boosted policy of protection" has shut
us out from the markets of the world, and
shops, mills, mines and workingmen are idle
The people think a change is necessary. In
business centres they think change of any
kind will be advantageous. AT all evants
they will try Cleveland for four years from
next March,

A HOG CHOLERA ExPERIMENT.--Mr. ID.
w. Rechard, Hagerstown, Md, has solved
10 his satisfaction the hog cholera problem
in practical way. Having lost two fine
porkers after the most careful treatment
known to science he took his remaining pair
and placed them in shaded Enclosure on his
lot, free from seed and animal deposit. For
one week he treated them upon wind and
what they were able to obtain In their own
natural way from the ground. At the end of
week all symptoms Of the disease that had
existed had disappeared, and to-day they are
as healthy as any hogs he ever owned

SUNSHINE COMES TO-MORROw.

SUNSHINE COMES TO-MORROW.
Some days must be dark and dreary,
Some lives must be full of gloom,
Some hearts of their cares must weary,
Till they long for rest in the tomb.
Some eyes must grow dim from weeping.
While others are glad and bright,
Some wake while others are sleeping
Care-free, until morning light.
o, well for the hearts which sorrow.
That the longed-for rest draws near,
And well that the sun tomorrow
May shine on the paths now drear.
There are sunny isles In mid-ocean, .
Where the myrtle and orange bloom,
Unheeding the wild commotion,
= Or the depths which no stars Hume.
As those isles to the shipwrecked mortal
Tossed about on the oceans crest,
So the entrance to Heavens portal
Tells only of endless rest.

Imnarfeot Ballots.

CISCO, TEN, Oct q, 1884.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
what effect would 1t have in casting the
electoral vote n the name OF one OF the elect
ors should be spelled wrong ON the ticket?
/ md the name of the eector for this district
spelled in your list X. X. Leggltt, while in
his business card At Is spelled X. X. Legett,
there being only one "g." should this make
any difference? The matter ought 10 be cor
rected at once throughout the state. The
business card to which refer you will ind
in the Abilene Reporter. Yours truly,
w. McCoNSELL.
The error mentioned would not in
validate votes cast for Mr.. Legett.
The addition or omission of a letter, or
the substitution of a wrong letter,
where the name is not greatly changed
from the original and correct form, is
not ground for throwing out votes cast
for the person whose MAMIE is so mis-
spelled. But If the error is 80 great as
to change the form of the name and
cast doubt upon the person intended
to be voted for, the imperfect ballot
may be thrown out.

rectly spelled was debated in congress
last winter in the contested election
case of Wallace VS., Mckinley,

lace, Wallace, w. II. Wallace, w. w.
Wallace, Ma. Wallac, Wollac and
Wolloo all were counted for Jonathan
II. Wallace, the contestant, though in
the last three of these il seems TO be al
lowing great deal of latitude to th'

a There can be no question that a vot

THE last frail hope of the Republi-
cans in New York has been dashed to
the ground by the Independent De

had depended largely on trading votes
with Tammany for their local ticket
in return for Tammany votes for
Blaine. BY the help of these votes
they hoped to Offset the Independent
Republican disailection and carry
New York. The support of Tam
many's candidates by the Independ-
ent Democratic organization insures
the election of that ticket without Re
publican votes, and there is no need of
trade. Kelly is doing what he can
for the regular Democratic ticket, and

Sent 10 Prison BY His Sons Crime.

BosToN, March 19.-Nathan p, Pratt,
formerly Treasurer of the Reading Mass.)
Savings Bank, convicted OF embezzling
funds in 1879, was sentenced Monday to
four years Imprisonment at hard labor.
Pratt is seyenty-three years old, and pend
ing proceedings, was confined in Jail five
years. The original defalcation was $780,
600, but portion Of the money was recov-
ered and the final loss to depositors is about
$4,000. 1t was shown that the defendant
did not profit by the defalcatlOn. Though
nominally treasurer, his son, Sidney p.
Pratt, conducted the business, and the loss,
it was alleged, was through the latter's
conduct. Sidney disappeared when the de-
falcatIon became known, and has never
since been heard Of
