The defeated fraud of the legislative
and congressional democratic gerrymsnd
err in Indiana. is to be supplemented by
fraudulent democratic contests for seats
in the State Senate. in which body, by vir
tue of the hoId-over senators the demo-
Gratis have a majority. On joint ballot
the republicans have majority,
their majority in the House being
large enough to overcome that of
the democrats in the Senate. Ii
Is proposed to unseat enough republican
senators to reverse the legal majority, and
to defeat Senator Harrison's candidacy
for reelection. This case is specially re-
commended to the attention of mugwumps
and democratic reformers. When they
have examined this they may take up the
case of Robert Smalls. of South Carolina
who has been counted out of his election
to Congress in u district that has $4,000
republican majority. Here are good OPP
por'unities for reformers to display their

What if, while / sit here alohe,
A voice have hot heard for years
Should greet me in the low, sweet tone
That once Was music 10 my ears;
And should start from memory's sway,
And, turning, find you sitting there
UNCHANGED, "a though 'twere Yesterday
Your feet went tripping down the stair.
OR If, upon some summer day,
Mid song Of birds and hum Of hers.
should go down the woodland way
To our old tryst beneath the trees;
Aud. starting back in glad surprise.
should hthold You Visiting theFcS
The Old light shining in your eyes.
The sunlight tangled in your hair.
In vain shall not see the glow
Of wine.brown eyes or catch the smile
OF ruby lips but vet know
That you are near me all the while
For So loved You in that range
Of sunny years that my poor heart
Would bleed afresh aud count il strange
To think God held Us far apart.
And so, when evening shadows creep
And night falls softly DER the lea,
You touch my eyelids and sleep,
And sleeping, dream Of heaven and thee
And when some summer morn shall break
That finds me chilled b. deaths cold dew,
You need but kiss me, ! shall wake,
And waking, be- in heaven with you.

a Serious Cutting ARRAY at DeKalb which
May Result Fatally.
Special to the Gazette.
DEKALD, Tx, Aug. 14.-About /
O'Clock to-day serious cutting ARRAY
took place in one Of the saloons here,
which may result in the death of one of
the participants named Pomp RAISER, a
farmer living near town. 1t seems that
short time ago at dance RAISER rather
severely chastised his brother.in-law, a
boy named Stinson, which resulted in q
quarrel with the boys older brother.
To-day in the justice court Rasser was
tried for assault on the boy and was
fined Later in the day all the parties
met in saloon and words were passed
which were soon followed by blows, two
Of the Stinson brothers engaging them
selves against RAISER. Pocket-knives
were drawn and freely used. When the
battle was ended RAISER was found with
the muscles of his left arm severed and a
deep stab In his lower ribs, which wound
the attendant physicians say may prove
fatal, William Stinson was painfully cut
by RAISER in the neck, but 1t is not q
dangerous wound. Rasser's wounds
were promptly dressed by Doctors Ball
and Sanders, and he is resting as easy as
could be expected. The Stinsou boys
are under arrest.
