THE national Democratic com.
mittoo recently called on Cleveland
and Thurman to formally notify them
of their nomination. Both made
happy responses. We copy tho fol
lowing from the address of Judge
Thurman:
Gentlemen, with unfoignod diff
donco in my ability to fulfill the ex-
poctations that led to my nomination,
/ yet feel 1t my duty to accept it and
dD all in my power to do to MORT so
marked distinction. Gentlemen,
the country is blessed by IN able and
honest administration: Applause.
We have n president who wisely,
bravcly, diligently and periodically
discharges tho duties of his high
Office. Applause l fully believe
that the best interests of the country
require his 70 election, and the hope
that | may be able to contribute
somewhat to bringing about that re
suit was one of my motives for ac-
ccpting a place on Uur ticket, and l
also fcol it my duty to labor for tho
reduction OF taxes and to put a stop
TO that accumulation of surplus in
tho treasury that in my judgment is
not only projudicial to our financial
welfare, but is in a high dcgroo dan
gerous to honest and constitutional
government. Applause.

"Democracy Ia America and EAsland.''

"DemOcracy Ia America AMI Engiand."
We presume our readers read tho
article under the above caption con-
tributed to our lust by William Car
nett. We meant TO have accompanied
its publication with some comments,
but were too unwoll to write. They
will still DO in order, however--in
fact, in this Fourth of July number,
peculiarly appropriate.
To those without previous informa-
ton Oh tho subject, Mr.. Garlotts ar
ticle will DO found instructive as
irving n clear idoa of the difference
between our congress- end tho Brit
ish parliament, and the changes OF
administration respectively.
But when Mr.. Garnett assumes TO
style tho governing Influenza IN
England as u democracy" il tho
American and true sense OF LDe Term,
he is guilty of u misnoner, and tho
grosscst pcrvorsion of fact md rca.
son II is true, as no says, that The
house Of commons in England is very
powerful; but it represents mainly
tho aristocrncy Of wealth and lnte!il-
gonco. 1t represents constituency
who glory in their own freedom, but
none tho loss combine with the no
bllity, hierarchy and crown to hold In
Vassnllge tho most abioct ana Ignor-
anco tho most profound tho great
mass of their fellow countrymen.
Tho grand suporstructure OF queen,
lords md commons, with all tholr
tinscl and show, nll their wealth and
prestige throughout tho world, ID
based on tho tolls Of this vast soeth-
ing mass of humanity, degraded and
kept in burbarism through ages OF
oppression, having no voice in the
government under which they live.
For Mr.. Garnctt's statement thai the
"Lho sufEroSo is nearly rs wide in the
United Kingdom rs in the United
States" 10 wonderfully wide OF the
mark. In short the government OF
England to-day is but n "whited
sepulchro, tho relentless oppressor
of the great mass of its people ut
homo, and if possible still more RI
pacious tyrant over it's colonial do
pondoncios. To speak Of such u
country rs q democracy" is a mon
strous porvorsion of the English Inn
guago.
Tho subject is an attractive one,
but wo cannot pursue it further at
present.

farm negro house was blown down. the occupants

plantation a barn was blown down, fences leveled
and trees uprooted. Crops were much injured, as
the storm was ACCOMPANIED by heavy rain and
some hail. While William Lackey, white farmer
of Chester county. was blowing in his field he saw
signs of coming thunder storm, and told his wife
and children who were with him. to 80 and get in
the house. In few minutes the storm came and
Lackey was struck by lightning and instantly
killed. He appeared to have been stricken on the
top of the head. The side of his body was badly
burned The mule drawing the pillow was killed.
