face Of the campaign Of 'SS will act
as further stimulus.
There is an evident intention ON
the part Of the republicans to make
q contest for the senatorships in Ten
nessee and West Virginia 10 succeed
jackson and Camden. The chances
Of the republicans carrying tic g
legislatures are not far 10 the rear u
the democratic prospects Of holding
them. In Tennessee the democrats ss
hold the legislature by 80 and in
West Virginia b, 13 majority.
In West Virginia almost the same
political status exists. The thirteen
democratic majoity in the legislative
districts are held by the slightest
tenure. In Mcdowell, for instance,
the congressional district being
strongly democratic the county is
held BY majority Of 81. In Miner
81 county, Second district, the demo
cratic majority Is but 50.
A review Of the general situation
in the senate indicates that the re
publicans will have their hands full
holding on 20 what they have, and
the democrats will have their hands
full holding on to what they have,
40 as not to loose from their own col
umn sufficient members to Offset any
possible gains from the republican
senators, one has been elected, one
has been defeated, seven are GER
tain and seven are doubtful. Of the
nine democratic senator's, two have
been reelected, four are certain OF
re election and three are doubtful.
1t will, therefore, be seen that
neither party can stand idle.

Hard to Believe, but q ParsOn
Tells 1T for Truth.

The annexed parag -aph, from q
recent issue Of the New York World,
dated at Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 18th,
is beyond question without a paral-
lei: "Rev. John Lindsey, now
preaching in Richmond county, was
born four months after his mother
had been dead and buried. His
mother, to all appearance, died and
was buried in Stewartville cemetery.
The night following her intermer.t,
persons for the purpose Of securil g
the jewelry buried with the bod I,
unearthed the remains, when con-
seriousness returned and she was en-
abled to return to her home. Ar
irving at her late residence, she rap
ped at the door, and was answered
BY her husband, who was oyerjoyed
to meet again In life his beloved wife,
whom lie had mourned as dead.
Four months afterwards Rev. Mr..
Lindsey was born. The mother sur
vived several years. This statement
is made BY Rev. Mr.. Lindsey, and is
literally true"

THERE is no question but that the
secular newspaper that takes firm
stand against liquor and liquor H.
cense and liquor interests, makes a
large financial sacrifice, as every one
knows who is acquainted with the
nature of the liquor business. That
business is known to be one of the
very best advertisers. II spares not
pains or expense to push its bus
mess and keep itself well before the
public. Three or -four saloons IN =
place would do more towards filing
the columns of paper with paying
matter than perhaps any other busi-
ness of twice their capital. Notwith-
standing this, the DEMocRAT has
forgone its own advantage and has
stood firm in it's opposition to the
liquor traffic, prefering to reap its re,
ward in the more peaceful conditions
and general prosperity among the
people which the absence of liquor
will bring about. In this, as in 9th
er things, the DEMOCRAT lives by its
principles, and such principles as it
believes will build up the public
morals and suppress crime and make
the people better, more peacable, and
more contented and happy. 1t has
chosen to throw itself upon the favor
OF the good people, and choose the
side of morality and right rather
than fatten upon the vices OF the
country. Upon such platform as
this 1T goes to the people Of Pope
county, feeling that it is entitled to
their favor and support, and that in
asking them to push It's circulation
1t is simply asking its merited re-
ward.

Gov. Hughes Makes New Sher-
iff Out Of an Old One.

1t will be remembered that the
circuit court of Conway county re-
moved Sheriff P. II. Speers from Of
fee. Several months ago gambler
was murdered near Plummerville.
and Chas. Ware, Jurd Barnes and
Lee Barnes were arrested, charged
with The crime. In fact there were
four young men arrested, one of
whom confessed all and was held as
States evidence. The three men.
toned above were placed iD Jail at
Morriiton, or rather in the town Gala
boose, but in charge Of Sheriff Speers.
The sheriff had deputy jaller who
allowed the prisoners to have can
die at night to see to eat their sup
per. After eating they begged to be
permitted to keep the candle to give
Them light. The ja,ler allowed it
aud that night they burned hole
through the wall, large enough to
make their escape. The next morn
ing Sheriff Spears started in pursuit
of the escaped porisoners. During
his absence circuit court met and
the grand jury indicted him Tor
criminal negligence, in letting the
prisoners escape. When the indict-
ment was returned his lawyers APP
peared in court and answered for
him, believing that they could estab-
lish his innocence The trial pro-
gressen, although he was absent, and
The jury returned verdict OF guilty,
assessing his punishment at one
minute IN Jail, fire OF 500 and re
moval from office. The court carried
out the verdict OF the jury, removed
the sheriff and placed Mr.. Coblentz
in his place. When Sheriff Speers
returned home be brought with him
all three OF the prisoners and learn
ed that he was no longer sheriff. A
strong petition was sent to Gov
Hughes for Speers' pardon.
Thursday the governor decided to
grant the pardon and re-appcini
speers. He says: although Mr.
Speers 10 republican, he was elect
ed by the people Of his county and
deem it my duty to deal justly with

Blaine, in his history, has the
the following OF Hon. A. G. Thur
man OF Ohio:
"His rank in the Senate was estab
lished from the day he took his seat,
and was never lowered during the
period of his service. He was sn
admirably disciplined debater, was
fair in his method of statement, log
ical In his argument, honest in his
conclusions. He had no tricks in
discussion, no catch phrazes to Sc
cure attention, but was always direct
and manly. HIS mind was not pre-
occupied and engrossed with politi.
cal contest or with affairs OF State.
He had natural and cultivated tastes
outside of those fields. He was a
discriminating reader. and enjoyed
not only serious books but inclined
also to the light indulgence Of ro-
nance and poetry. He was especi-
ally foad Of the best French writes.
He loved Moliere and could qu' te
with rare enjoyment the humorous
scenes depicted by Balzac. He took
pleasure in the drama and Was de-
voted TO music. In Washington he
could usually bc found in the bes,
