MR. EpIToR: On last Saturday
was perfectly surprised to hear w
S. Morgcn say i'll his speech "that
the plank in the Union Labor plat
form requiring the pensioning of all
union soldiers had never been adopt
ed or endorsed in tins part of the
country" when | was present and a
member of the Sharp Co. Wheel
Che was present also) at the time OF
the adoption of the whole platform,
without any exceptions whatever A
few staunch democrats besides N.Y.
self, battled against it with all our
might, but we were beaten by a ma
jority of republicans and a few
clever democrats who had "the wool
pulled over their eyes" by W. S.
Morgan; and for him to deny it pub.
licly, l was surprised. But / need
not have been, as it was on a price
with other things that he has both
said and written.
l want to say right here to my
many friends that ! am as much OF
an agricultural wheeler as ever, and
remained in the wheel until / found
it was being engulfed by the repub-
lican party, and I didn't wish to ex'
perience any more of its tender
mercies. drew out and feel proud
that I've been dong all l can ever
since for the democratic party and
ever expect to as long as the proml-
nent men of said party work for the
interests of the working man as they
are now doing. l keep posted on
the subject, as read both sides,
and know what | am talking about.

The occasion Of the winding "
Of the canvass FOR state senator at
this pace last Saturday brought a
large crowd to town early in the day
and by noon nearly 700 voters were
congregated on our streets. Among
the interesting features of the day
was the reception Of the Jackson
Democratic Club of Sullivan town
ship, 10y large delegation on horse
back and the cornet band. The
procession thus formed marched up
Main street to court square and
back 10 the hotel, while the band
disco,irsed soul-stirring music and
the democrats along the line cheered
Justify. AT l o'clock the democrats
formed at the Christian church on
foot, %nd with the band in the lead,
marched 23O strong down Main
street and under the big flag where
the band halted and played "Red,
White and Blue" while the process
sion moved on to the speakers stand
whence about 10 union labor men
had jdst preceded them. Mr.. Nor
gan was soon introduced who at once
got down to his work, viz: The
abuse of the democratic party, hold
ing it responsible for all the errors
committed since the Christian era
begar. He denied his endorsement
Of the 9th plank in the U. L. plat
form which favors pensions for
every man that ever joined the fed,
eral army; but D. M Cofman's
memory serves him differently, and
he tells the people so in another COL
umn. He also accused Mr.. Davidson
and his friends, the RECORD inClud>
ed, OF beating him out of an audi.
ence at Calamine, because the demo-
Gratis of that section saw fit to pre-
pare a dinner at that place on the
10th, which accusation was founded
on the fact that the union labor boys
were not there in as large numbers
as the gentleman wanted to see them.
Reason, they don't reside in that To-
cality (As to that barbecue or pic
mic in question, the statement and
explanation made in the Record of
the 10th is full and positively correct,
and further reference to it is unnec>
essary.) After Mr.. Morgan got
through, Col. Davidson took the
stand and proceeded in his usual ell
oGuert and able manner to place the
cause and prescribe remedy for the
l.l.:.s y n.es a-i;l3! irrcg"laTities com
planned of by his opponent and the
labor parties. The contrast between
republican and democratic rule in
Arkansas so titly made by thei.Col.
broke some of the old time RAIDS all
up and they left. Sam was aplauded
to the echo, and it is safe to say
that the IL. | party was not strength
ened in the least by their big effort
here, but will certainly lose ground
when Coffman's letter is read.

Mr.. ED. RECORD: If you will allow

SIR: In answer to your letter in the
RECORD of August the 23d | ask Of you,
first how long ha, it been since you WAS
turned out of the wheel; and what was
you turned out for2 1t seems as though
you are barring down on the Wheel
with all four of your feet. Now it take s
the wheel to know what makes some men
so hard down on the wheel. When you
see or hear tell of man running down
the wheel or any other organization you
may bet your bottom dollar that he has
once belonged to the order, and that he
went in seeking some office and did not
get the nomination, and amt able to pay
bis dues, which are 5cts year, and he
goes home and consults his wife and they
consider that belonging to the wheel is
as bad g crime as murder and he had bet
ter draw off before he is hung and 60 to
some other party, and maby he will be
nominated fol township midwife or some
other big Office. Now here it Is in short:
When you see q man so hard down on
bis neighbors and friends just because
they can't see like he Goes you may take
the little end of nothing and whittle it

PREACHERS SONS.

This is great year for clergy
mems sons, says the Chicago News.
Notwithstanding the old theory that
they and deacon's daughters never
turn out well. Grover Cleveland,
democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, is the son of a Presbyterian
clergyman. Allen G. Thurman,
ditto for the vice presidency, is the
son of Methodist clergyman. Ben
jamin Harrison, republican candidate
for the presidency, is the son-in>law
of Presbyterian clergyman. Levi
P. Morton, ditto for the vice presi~
dency, is the son of Congregation
al clergyman. Calvin S. Brice,
chairman of the democratic execu-
tive committee, IN charge of the
campaign, is the son of a Presbyte-
rian clergyman. And the fathers of
these men, economical as we'll as
Cody, saved enough out of their
small salaries to send the boys to
school and college. Morton is the
only one in the list who did not
have the advantage of a collegiate
education, although he was born and
reared in the village of Hanover,
where Dartmouth college is.

HE WAS I'm LOVE.

John Burke Jumps Into Lake Whit
ney hut Is Rescued-He Loved q Girl
Who Didn't Love Him.
John Burke, young man who lives in
Todd's block, corner of State and Elm streets,
attempted to commit suicide last night by
jumping into Lake Whitney because he loved
a girl who did not return his undying deyo-
ton.
About s O'Clock Nicholas Burke, brother
of John, rushed into police headquarters and
said his brother was going to commit suicide
and he wanted the police to stop him.
The police wagon and two officers were
sent out ana after going up Orange street re-
turned without John. Nicholas then took a
cab and went up Orange street.
Officer F. D. Cook was left in the vicinity
of Lake Whitney by the police wagon to get
track of John. He was called by Nicholas,
who said he had his brother. He told the
officer that John had jumped into the lake
and had been rescued by himself and the
boat house keeper. John was dripping wet.
At the police Office John said love affair
had caused him to attempt to commit sui
eide. He is the same fellow who apparently
loved q young lady compositor at large
printing establishment on Chapel street and
she did not reciprocate. He troubled her so
that she made complaint to Officer Began
and he warned Burke to let her alone. He
recently made trip to Europe.
Burke says this affair has worked on his
mind to such an extent that he does not de-
sire to live. He is a printer and sort of
crank. He was locked mp and refused to don
dry clothes which his brother Nicholas
brought to him.
