that in total of f. sy-five thousand,

The Democratic party seems to be a
one-ideaed, one-man party all over, ex-
cept in Missouri. Ii is the same where
they have no show as where they think
they have. As evidence witness this
from the Atchison Patriot:
Mr. Carroll has repeatedly refused to be
a candidate for gubernatorial houers. and
1t locks very much now as though he
would be compelled TO make the race in

Back of all the make-believe enthusi-
asm and oneness of sentiment in the
Democratic party for Mr.. Cleveland is
the one single fact that he was at the
head of the party when it came into
power little more than three years ago,
after an enforced retiracy of twenty
years, that gives him precedence over all
others of that faith, and not any superior
merit as a statesman or leader. He was
their mascot before. and the superstiti-
ton that holds the party to him is not
surprising when we come to think of
their experiences.

Mr.. Powell Clayton. OF Arkansas, says:
'.There is no necessity for intimidation
in the south any longer. Any man can
vote any ticket he wants to without in
terference-but they won't count the
votes. I'll give the Democrats the credit
to say that they do not lie about 1t
either. They frankly admit that they do
not count the wrong sort of ballots when
there is any necessity for throwing them
out. IN some parts-tahe the country
IN which live for exampl.-nothing
could be fairer than our elections. But
in counties where the negro vote is
heavy the elections are not honest. :"
Granting Mr.. Clayton's statements to be
true, the results of elections are Just the
same as if when controlled by other
methods. Practically it is only the diff
ference between tweedle dunn and

Maggioli and others, go right through the list,
and you will notice this popularity among
all of them. The possible exception to the
lot is Billy Cation. He has the lowest fore
