Democrats made the following ar
peal to one OF the hash-slingers.
Throw me in an acre of flapjacks,
Soaked in the wild-goat's cream,
Hold me minute, waiter,
Till shrek an old time scream.

Smothered with Jackson juice.
Knock in the head OF barrel

As big as amountain top;

Dipped In so me elephant sop.
Strangle me an alligator,

Turn me loose in the honey
And let me rout the hive,
Rub me down with coon skin,
Shove me in tigers lair;

I'm wolf, rma grizzly bear
Let me give thanks for million
Let me dance, and YELL and sing
Let me raise up an old Ebenezer
Let me ride on an axels swing
| Cleveland and Thurman win get there,
aud the racals win still be left out;
GIVE me derrick for liier

Silence never shows itself to so great
advantage as when it is the reply to

Speaking too much is sign of van
ity, for he that is lavish in words il
apt to be niggard in deeds.

The many friends OF our esteemed
townsman, Col. 0. G. King, appreciat-
ing the valuable service he has render
ed the Democratic party in the past,
very naturally thought of him as their
first choice in connection with the
approaching Congressional contest in
this district; hoping that possibly
he might be einduced to make the race.
Sharing in this feeling, we interview
ed the Colonel upon the subject and
found to our regret that he was not
disposed to entertain the mention of
his name in connection with the nom-
ination stating that, while gratefully
appreciating the motive OF his friends,
his business affairs and other consid.
erations precluded the idea OF him
making such canvass as would be
demanded. We need not add, perhaps,
that we are sorry this is the case, as,
with Col. King as our standard bearer,
without any disparagement to other
gentlemen, we should feel confident oI
large increased Democratic vote, il
not Of winning the race.-Morristowr

HARRISON WEAK
Where Elements Of Strength We're
Claimed.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July s.
Charles A. Fogerty, well-known rail
road man, was in the city to-day on
his regular run. Mr.. Fogerty was a
member of the committee in whose
hands the affairs OF The Bee Line en-
ployes were placed during the strike of
1877, and he laughed at the statement
OF Ex-sheriff Pressly, as published last
week. Neither Mr.. Harrison nor Mr..
Pressly had anything to do with set
tling the Bee Line difficulty.
"The committee" said Mr.. Fogerty,
"visited President Devereux at Cleve-
land and laid all the grievances be-
fore that gentleman, who readily
granted every demand and more,
"He addressed letter to the COM
mittee, which was published at the
time. The men had as little use for
Harrison then as now"
Mr.. Fogerty is lifelong Republi-
can and an old soldier, but he is dead
against Harrison, as he says are 80
per cent Of the railway men Of his
acquaintance.
at amuses me to hear Republicans
claiming the votes of the men who
have been brought in here by the
opening of the natural gas fields"
said Mr.. Hugh Sweeney, Of the st.
Charles Hotel, to night.
you know this is sort of headquar-
ters for the gas men, and l naturally
hear much of their conversation, be-
sides frequently talking with them
myself. | will venture the assertion
and think the vote in November will
bear me out in it-that not one-tenth
OF them will vote for Harrison. They
have been working in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia where they have
many time had a chance to feel the
effect of the competition Of Hunga-
rian, Pole and other imported con-
tract pauper labor, and they are heart
lily sick of it. They have seen the
manufacturers and the employers fill
their places with this kind of tabor at
wages on which no civilized man can
exist, and they want no repetition of
the experience. They are thoroughly
weary of voting to continue this condi-
tion OF affairs. They are making in
quiries to Harrison, and the more
firmly they become convinced that he
is not friend of the workingman, and
they are going to vote for their friends
this year. Mark my words: Not 10
per cent, of the voting gas men will
vote for Harrison, and in that 10 per
cent. not an Irishman will be found.
