Gen. "Sarah Gordy" Williams, judy
ing from the following:
ave have it from the best authority
that Gen. Williams intends to enter
the field once more for the guberna-
torisl stakes. 1t really seems that
nothing but death will permanently
squclch the arrant and pestilent old
demagogue, who has already been
honored far beyond his deserts"

The Cider Curse.

The cider saloon curse is causing
loud cries for relief in many parts
of the State.
On our inside page will be found
"Tyler County Appeal" that
is full of sound, practical wisdom,
but makes an unnecessary insinua-
ton against the "Third Party" as
though the "Third Party" or any
other Prohi bitionists were respon-
sible for the tricks of scheming,
whisky politicians in taking
"cider" out from under the bar in
the statutes of our State. We hope
to have room to say more on the
"Cider curse" next week.

The Cold Water Army Invading
the South.

We call the especial attention of
all our readers to the late meeting
of Prohibitionists in New York
city for the deliberate purpose of
organizing a systematic invasion
of the South during this Winter.
Read the proceedings of the meet
ing, under the heading, "Unending
Agitation" on an inside page.
Several thousand dollars were
pledged at the meeting and $50
free lectures volunteered by promi-
nent speakers, whom the people,
North or South, will be delighted
to hear.
The most encouraging feature of
all this, lies in the fact that the
Southern people are inviting, with
eager hearts, this friendly invasion,
and impatiently waiting to well
come the invaders with outstretch-
ed arms and whole-souled hospital
ity.
Atlanta's victorious hosts are
joyously shouting, Come doaom and
help us, noao that you see aOe haze
proved our readiness to help ourselves.
Let US help the South first to
drive the saloon from her sunny
homes, and then with the help of
all her triumphant and rejoicing
people, will we be able to chase the
miserable Traffic across the Middle
and Northern States, till, meeting
the solid Prohibition phalanxes of
Canada, the great National curse,
with its trains of crimes and woes,
shall be driven to its doom in the
cold lakes of the North.

PROHIBITION VICTORY PROCLAIMED

226 majority on a total vote Of
about seven thousand, the largest

eight hundred pairs. The Prohi.
bitionists rallied their reserve
strength in the latter part of the
day, and won a victory by the
almost superhuman efforts of the
temperance colored men, who made
i'm ploring appeals to their race not
to be bought up by the liquor
dealers.
Local optionists claim this as the
greatest victory gained in the
United States. Considering the
intensity of feeling on both sides
the election was a model of order
There was an absolute freedom
from drunkenness or fights.
The anti Prohibitionists are deep

peace the Prohibition leaders ad.
vised that no demonstration be
held tonight But the younger
element among the Prohibitionists
could not be restrained, and they
formed an i'm promptu procession,
and serenaded the newspaper Offices
with their ear-splitting Southern
yells.
THE FIGHT GOES ON.
Phila. Press Dispatch.
The city is in a state of the
widest excitement. The Prohi-
bitionists declare that not until
the State is absolutely Prohibition
territory will the fight be stopped,
Already instructions have been
sent out to the leaders in the
county to see that all candidates
for the State Legislature, for Cover
nor, for Congress and all other
offices should be pledged to Prohi-
bition. This pushing of the Prohi-
bition question into the active
politics of the State has created un-
bounded excitement in all sections.
The Prohibitionists openly declare
their purpose of only standing by
the Democracy in so far as the
party makes itself a Prohibition
party. Cheers for St. John are
heard on all sides. If a national
election were to take place this
week the State would vote the pro-
hibition ticket. Tle negroes are
all actively committed to prohi-
bition and 60 arm in arm with
their white allies.

The Prohibitionists are preparing

pose to employ Roscoe Conkling to
carry the contest to the U. S. Su-

slider their dependence upon the
Allwise Father and to render
thanks and praise for His manifold
mercies.
In the life and career of Mr.
Hendricks, the world has another
exemplifcation Of what integrity
and energy may accom- plish under
free Republican Government,
where every man has the right OF
way to run and rise on his own
muscle and merit.
Born in a log cabin in Musking-
UNI county, o., in 1919, Mr.. Hen
bricks in early life removed with
the family to Indiana, the State of
his adoption and of his pride in
later years. While yet a young
man, he was admitted to the bar,
was elected to the Legislature, and
socontinued through long life,step
by step, to climb the ladder of pro-
fessional and political fame, filling
successfully, positions in the State
Legislatures, Constitutional Con-
ventions, Congress, candidate with
Mr.. Tilden on the Presidential
ticket in 1876, and finally was cleo
ted to this second Office in the gift
OF the people in 1884.
AS lawyer and statesman he was
for many years among the Nations
leading men, and now that he is
dead, it it is conceded and said by
all who write or talk of his life and
career, whether eulogist or critic,
that his integrity in public life
was never questioned, and that he
was never known to have connec-
ton with any political job"
And there can be no better eu-
logy nor more eloquent tribute to
the private life of the dead States
man than to say that the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hendricks was the
resort of the good, the pure and
philanthropic, and that at his fun
eral, the children of his native city
focked together en- msasse to take d
farewell look at the face of their
great-hearted friend and benefac-
tor.

there was great good nature dis

DEATH AND FUNERAL.
Of Vice President Hendricks.
Our Country's Sad Thanksgiving
Dau.

Our Country's Sad Thanksgiving
Day.
On Wednesday evening last, the
wires flashed through the land the
startling news Of the sudden death
Of Honorable Thomas A. Hendricks,
Vice-President of the United States,
at his home in Indianapolis. AL
though he had been under the care
of his family physician for several
days, it was not thought that his
sickness was at all serious. On
ednesday evening, during the
brief absence of Mrs. Hendricks to
answer the call of friend, Mr..
Hendricks was seized with a par
oxysm of pain, and after a few
moments, seemed to be relieved
and spoke these his last words:
81 am free at last; send for Eliza"
meaning his wife. He was dead
come time before Mrs. Hendricks
reached the room.
The end of a long and eventful
life came suddenly and quietly,
with only colored servant and
Mr.. Harry Morgan (Mr. Hendricks
nephew present. 1t was pecu-
liarly sad that the devoted wife
should be robbed of the parting
words, and this thought added new
pangs to her inexpressible anguish.
President Cleveland at once is-
sued his proclamation, announcing
the Vice-President's death, and ar
rangements were duly perfected
for the funeral observances befit-
ting tho exalted position held by
the dead Statesman.
The funeral services we're held
yesterday in Indianapolis, and
were attended by members Of the
Cabinet with large delegation of
Senators and Representatives.
Proclamations were issued by
Governors of States and Mayors of
Cities calling on the people to OBJ
serve the funeral day from 1 P. M.
to 6 P. M.
The remains were viewed by
many thousands of the citizens of
Indianapolis and visitors from all
parts of the country, while lying
in state in Indiana's Capitol, the
place where Mr.. Hendricks had
won his renown.
The death of the second in au-
thority over Nation of nearly halt
a hundred great States, coming
suddenly as it did on the eve of the
National Thanksgiving, the tuner
al services of yesterday were largely
anticipated by appropriate express
sions from many thousands of pull
pits on Thanksgiving Day. The
sad news going forth at early morn
from city to city and from home to
home, could not but move the hearts
Of the people with sanctifying
sorrow and bring them together in
their accustomed meetings and fes.
tivities, the better prepared to con.
