THE editor of the CHRONICLE copies
with thanks and evident appreciation
Duncan b. Cooper's certificate OF his
Democracy. Brother Cooper's own or
thodoxy was held questionable short
while ago, but since he has become sue
cessor to Mr.. Vertrees in the office OF
party labeler, the stamp he has put upon
our neighbor across the street Is doubt
less genuine. - Tobacco Leaf.
The editor OF the CHRONICLE returned
thanks to the American for the endorse
ment it gave the paper, and not because
OF any compliment to the editor, and
took pains to cut off OF the notice the
leit-handed compliment paid by the
American to our predecessor. The
editor of the CHRONICLE is not party
to the personal compliments ~ now
being exchanged between the American
and the Tobacco Leaf, and il our neigh
Dor is unregistered it is the Americans
fault, not ours. Our certificate as a
Democrat consists Of steady adherence
to the principles of Democracy dating
back beyond the days of the Tobacco
Leaf or its editor.

A STRANGER reading the peevish,
iretiul paragraphs of the Tobacco Leaf
on political "chestnuts," would natur-
ally infer that the editor had arrived at
that period of extreme old age so graph

they are afraid OF that which is high,
and fears shall be in the way, and the
almond tree shall flourish, and the grass

Hon. ALT A. TAYLOR, should put
himself in immediate communication
with the Republican Governor of Yer
msnt who in his retiring message re-
cites quite number of evidences of in
creased prosperity, declaring that bank
deposits have increased, industries have
prospered, and labor OF all kind received
lair remuneration. He sums it all up
in the statement that the last tao "years
have been the most suspicious in the
history of the State. This is quite an
important admission for the Governor
OF Republican State to make-that
after twenty-five years of uninterrupted
Republican rule the States highest de.
gree Of prosperity begun, and has con.
tinued with a Democratic administers
ton. Really it does seem that all the
Republican authorities are againt Alfred

THE Brownsville States Democrat
and Athens Post pay the CHRONICLE a
compliment by reproducing some OF
its articles in their columns. We like
this more than we would personal
notice, because we can all write pretty
things OF our special friends, but when
an editor selects something from one Of
his exchanges he does it because he
endorses the sentiment and commends
it to his readers. We have several
times repeated articles from those pa
pers and it appears that we agree in
many things-and we are all Democrats
who read the old bible without any new
translation.
