When by chance, in the discussioun of
the relations of the different parties to
each other and to the country, in the re-
cent Presidential campaign, the fact was
incidentally alluded to that Jeff Davis
was very good Democrat, and that the
Democratic party of the North and the
Rebel murderers of the South were striv-
ing for the same object, some of our Dem
ocratic friends complained that such mat
ters ought not to be cast up to them, be-
cause, although they were in bad compa-
ny, they could not better their political
position, and still be Democrats. There
was public exhibition in Washington
City a few days ago for the benefit of
such Democrats as these The country was
treated to the spectacle of Southern Sena-
tors prancing up and down the Senate
Chamber, eulogizing Jeff Davis as pure
patriot. Notably Senator Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi, declared that mo man could call
Jeff Davis traitor in his presence with
out a prompt and indignant denial" or
words to that effect. Senator Sherman
arose and said that he hoped that within
the next thousand years nobody would
think of Davis as anything but as con-
spirator and traitor. The debate was
called out by reference to Gen. Sher-
mans letter, showing up Davis as not
only traitor, but a murderous conspira-
tor, who cast aside the doctrine of States
Rights, after the organization of the Con-
federacy, and threatened to turn Lees ar
my upon certain Southern States in case
they dared renounce their allegiance to
the Confederacy. Senator Sherman made
vigorous speech, using some plain and
truthful language for the benefit of his
Southern brother Senators.
This little passage.has shown one thing
most clearly-that the Rebel Brigadiers
expect to run this Government with
high hand for the next four years, and
that Jeff Davis, Lee, Sidney Johnston,
Wirz, and Wilkes Booth, are to be parad-
ed before the country in the light of per-
secuted Democratic Saints. This may
not be pleasing pic ture for the Demo-
Gratis of the North, but it must be held
up for their contemplation. The old
Rebel element rejoices in the election of
Cleveland as time for bringing out the
corpse of the Southern Confederacy and
displaying its hideous skeleton before the
country as the sum total of all there is in
craftsmanship. The country will be
highly entertained by the Southern men
agerie, for some time to come.

AN UNHEARD SERENADE.
BY W. wATERFIELD.

The soft petunia's dim-secn snow
With hvmns of fragrance halls the night;
The bats like shadows come and go.
The owlets wing their noiseless flight;
flushed is our garden, herb and tree;
Rest peaceful, love, and think of me.
Beneath the lamps of heaven lie
(And heaven for us is still the same);
Deep in the silver -clouded sky
One great star burns with steadfast flame;
Shut close, sweet eyes, from trouble free;
Sleep soft, nv love, though far from me.
The sweetest star above the rest
Watch DER thy sleep with influence mild;
The breezes Fastening from the west
Bring thee glad dreams of home and child;
May all unrest thy pillow fee;
Dream on, my heart, and beat for me.
The dawn is come. the channels flow,
The bindweed shows her purnle sheen;
The flame acacia takes the glow
With all her arms of waving green;
Light of my life, where'er thou be,
Wake happy, love, and pray for me.

DAYTON LETTER.
A Look Over the Field.

(This good letter came in too
late for last weeks issue. ED
Before this reaches your readers
the battle in Ohio will have been
fought and the results declared.
No one is sure of the result. Poll
tics in Ohio is an uncertain quail
ty. In the cities there is large
voting population that expect to
be bought. They have no fixed
political principles and sell out at
least twicein every election.
These infamous transactions are
carried on by ward leaders and
the friends of candidates. These
saloon debauched voters sell out to
both wings of party and to both
parties, at the primaries, and to
both parties on election day, the
party paying the largest sum re-
ceiving their votes. So it is al ways
true that they have the "boodle"
of both parties in their pockets.
This money and "free lunches" at
the saloons, with certain steallngs
in office, keep these sovereigns alive
without the necessity of labor. This
class of voters control the election of
Ohio and being utterly unreliable,
political leaders know not what to
expect.
The saloon interest will be for
Foraker as it now looks. This Or
dinarly means success, but not
always.
DIR. Leonard may not be as strong
as one month ago. But no one can
know certainly, as there is a large
silent Democratic vote that may

low down that 1 could almost look

want it made possible for others to
be saved" He was fighting his old
enemy. The only way to make
any impression on the traffic, is to
outlaw it. 1t is sad to see boys and
young men in groups gathered
about the front door of a dingy sa-
loon and hear them swearing with
most shocking profanity. They
are being trained in these schools
of vice for the State prison. This
is growing evil and instead of
doing something to stop it,men are
laboring hard to prove that it can
not be stopped. If the traffic were
made unlawful and strong drink
put out of sight, much would be
done to save the young. u. W.
