COLUMBUS
The Democratic Clubs and His
Nelghbors Called on Judge
Thurman.
The Old Roman Declines Making
a Speech, but Gives Them
A Talk.

COLUMBUS, o., September 29.-Ever
since the St. Louis convention the dem
ocrats of Columbus have wanted to call on
Judge Thurman in body, but they were
restrained until tonight, and they let
themselves loose. Two dozen different
democratic organizations from this city
and neighborhood Joined in the torch,
light procession line of march, ending at
Judge Thurmans residence. Many of the
clubs were uniformed and showed
considerable proficiency in drilling
this being especially true of the recently
organized "Old Roman Guard" who wore
Roman helmets and carried shields and
swords.
As the procession came past Judge
| Thurman came to his front door and was
greeted by large crowd on the sidewalk
to whose cheers were soon added those OF
the 1900 in the parade. After some
campaign music by the Cleveland and
Thurman glee club Judge Thurman spoke
as follows:
"Gentlemen of the Democratic Club:

A Prize Essay on Newspapers.

The souvenir dancing orders of the AL
bany Printing Pressman's union con-
tanned the following contribution from "a
printers DEVIL"
Newspapers is called vehicles of in
formation.
Reporters is what is called "the staff -
so many of them being sticks" They
work hard-at refreshment bars.
Proof readers is men that spoils the
punctuation of compositors. They spell
e. word one way to-day and another way
tomorrow. They think they be intelli-
gent persons; compositors think differ
emit.
Compositors is men who set up the
types-and sometimes the drinks. Com
positors is very steady men when they is
sober-which they seldom is when they
can help it.
Editors is men what knows everything
in the heavens above and the earth be-
meath. They is writers who don't write

REAL ISSUE
between our party and the democrats
We believed and still believe very large
number who are democrats upon other
issues would be republicans on the free
trade issue if we offered them decent
ticket and decent party upon which to
rely. We deemed the occasion the most
important in the history of our party
since it went out of power in Texas. We
had chance to recover lost ground and
we threw 1t away; we met and to all lntents
and purposes disorganized our party. We
knew a fusion was without any hope of
So cess, because we had to accept ticket
nominated by prohibitionists, know
nothings and woman suffragists. We
knew that without any real vital issue
Marion Martin could not control one
independent vote where Wash Jones had
controlled ten such votes. We had given
Jones our solid vote and he had

of those who go into fusion parties for the
spoils. He was pers onally more popular
with the democrats, and he was a cam
DdlRu bpedhOI SOIOIBOI bldu hdIblu.
Ireland beat us in that fusion movement
over 100000 votes. Ross is q more popu-
lar man than Ireland. What, then, could
be expected from delivery of the con-
trollsble votes of our party to a fusion
ticket with Martin at the head? Such
stupid laundering will keep the south
solid thousand years. Now, how can we
expect to divide the democratic voters
when we give our party into the hands of
Quincy and such men as Quincy, who insult
and villify the white people of the state by
falsely charging them with suppressing
the colored vote by violence and intimida-
ton? You may state with perfect assur-
ance that
THE JIG is UP
with white republicans in Texas. A few
whites who have political employment in
| local contests, and few who have gone so
far in hostility 20 the dominating party
that they can never turn back, will hang
on with the colored element and still sub
NIT to the dictation of Quincy and other
colored men, but as a party in the north
ern counties republicanism exists no
longer. 1t is dead. We wash our hands
of it. Quincy has crushed out the white
element with his black legions, and we
must either become democrats or must
organize white mans republican party
in the state.

TRASsPIANTED.
The gardener came into the garden;
twas very fair to see,
And his Lord walked slowly beside him,
Looking at shrub and tree.
Through borders of odorous roses,
Through hly-beds purple and white,
by thicket- enkindled with crineon
And arbor that prisoned the light,
Till they came to tender flower,
A trail but beautiful thing,
That dropped with it's snOw,white petals
Like bird with broken wing.
81 think" said the gardener, clssping
The plant with gentle hand"
"This flower is much too tender
For the winds of this lower land.
81 marvel if, even with shelter,
Twill thrive in this cosrser earth,
Where cold dews fall upon it;
"Tis flower of priceless worth"
Now, his Lord had another garden;
Its gates were of pearl ana gold,
And its slopes were nearer heaven
Than this land with breezes cold.
There never the sun gave languor,
There never the east wind blew;
And the provident care OF the Master 8 hand
Was tender as sun or dew.
His Lord looked down on the fl iwer,
Aud his heart went out to its Needs
"'T1s Just the plat for my garden
'Tis plant of celestial seedn
The gardener loosened the fiber,
Raised the plant for the Lord to see;
Then the gracious Master said, with smile:
"Give the little flower to me-
And into the gates that were golden,
Aud over the fadeless plain,
And close by The wonderful river of life
He planted the flower again.
And there, in deathless splendor,
1t blooms and blossoms to-day;
And there, in an endless, marvellous life,
1t will bloom and brighten Away
There shall never be want of tending,
Or lack of love or care
For the Lord of the garden 80 near to heaven
Is The Lord of the sea and air.

COLOR LINE DRAWN.
The White Republicans Being
Crowded Out of Their Party.

The following interview of the Austin
CORES pendent of the Galveston News,
published in that paper Thursday, Is
deemed worthy of reproduction:
AUSTIN, Tex, September 26.-The fol
lowing is in substance what an indignant
delegate on his return from Fort Worth
said to your correspondent. He was
strong anti-prohibitionlst and is pro-
tectionist. He says Ross will get 10000
republican votes. OF course he was hot
at the failure of the scheme to turn down
Quincy by calling the convention SO far
from the negro districts. This conspiracy
against the colored brethren was kept
mighty dark, but Quincy and Dick Allen
dropped on it, 1t may now be noted that
the ascendency of the old Davis-DeGress-
Rosenthal RUG has been completely
broken, and that henceforth the old time
wilv leaders must submit to the dictatlon
of the younger set of wild and Wooily
leaders, Quincy and the other really bona
fide representatives of the actual voting
element of the republican party. The
oclored man is on top. Here is the
CYST OF THE INTERVIEW.
Our party in Texas needs fumigation
We have been waiting great many years
for the publication expected to result
from the immigration of white republi'
cans. But when white republicans from
northern and western states come mere

domination of the baser elements, the lg

hands of the more intelligent and patriotic
element of the party we concluded to cal

negro belt as possible. We believed if W
should meet at Fort Worth the attend

and middle Texas would be large, an
that on account of the heavy expens
