and sleepily Scratching fieas.
SoOnie is preparing supper, frequently
casting eXpectant glances up the sandy
road.
1t is Saturday afternoon and her
sweetheart will soon come whistling
merrily from among the pines, arrayed
in suit of new clothes, with white
and red necktie. and his pockets filled
with peanuts and stick-candy.
She is radiant in new speckled cali
co dress, with flowers in her hair ard a
knot of red ribbon at her throat that
beautifully matches yer cheeks. The
old road brings no SO memories to her,
but calls up sweet dreams of future hap
pinesS, a wealth of anticipation.
Supper comes at SundOwn-a fe asst of
crisp fried meat, hard biscuits and bitter
black coffee. Even these were palat-
able, howe yer, after long days ride
through desolate pine wilds, and Mr..
Stubs invitation to ''set up and eat
heartily" was cheerfully accepted by
the traveller.
Soonie's beau came in during supper,
fuZzy-faced, silly-lOOking young fell
low, who went quite off his head at the
sight of the stranger, and could only
giggle and look more foolish than ever.
In SOonie's eyes, however, he was
evidently very precious piece of hui
manity, though she cast many pleasant
looks towards the guest.
When the supper things were cleared
away,
MRS. STUBS
''fixed the BEDS" and instructing the
traveller to "lie along with the old
man." she and Soonie left the room.
"You kin sleep in here with me-
said the old man, rubbing his bare feet
on the floor and tumbling into bed with
only so much preparation as hog
might make, and was soon snoring
frightfully; this effectually banished
sleep so far as our traveller was con-
cerned. In few moments the ladies
came into the room and Mrs. Stubs
turned in.
Soonie and John Henry were now left
alone before the great fireplace, she

AN ARGUMENT FORCIBLY PUT.
ONE BIG STRAW WHICH SHOWS THE DIRECTION
ar TT

The latest addition TO the Republican campaign
literature Is a handsome coored cartoon dedicated TO
the old soldiers OF the Union. 1t IS the work OF Will
lam c. Hughes of Grand Ledge. Michigan, veteran
Of the war and prisoner Libby and other Southern
prison pens. The cartoon which Is Endorsed by the
Republican National Committee IS entitled. President
Cleveland in collision with the Grand Army OF the Re
public Its text is the order Of the President TO re
turn the Southern battc-Aags. On the left OF the
picture Is load Of rebel flags upon wagon inscribed
L. S. and headed toward Dixie. In the centre OF
the picture end completely blocking the way of the
loaded train, is a solid monument representing Alex
ander Hamilton Post, No 1s2, of Ncw-York, and bear
ing upon its face the resolutions passed by that Post
protesting against the Presidents action.
on the right is disappointed committee Of Con-
ederate brigadiers, one of whom holds IN his hand
dispatch from Colonel Lamont, which. says that the
President has rescnded his order In the left OF the

now ~ to which Lamont replies. Why. back out, Of
course The South VIII vote for us anyway" In the
lower lcfhand corner of the picture, below the loaded
wagon is COPY Of the original order of the President
for the return of the flags. The conclusions to be
drawn from the picture showing the tendency of the
Democratic party cater to the South now as In the
DAYS before the war, are indicated In the following

A BIPARTISAN POLICE BOARD.



CHANGE IT'S PRESENT CHARACTER.
The Tammany leaders good deal surprised at
the rumor that why that organization in
tended to run candidate for Mayor from its own
ranks because this candidate elected, would be
expected to appoint Tammany TO the vacancies
in the Police Board caused by the expiration OF the
terms Of Commissioners French and McClave. The
of Office OF both these gentlemen expire during
the term Of the next Mayor The appointments sug-
gested would make the Police Board entirely Demo
cratic and destroy its non partisan character. John
r. Voorhis and Charles +. Mclean. the other members
OF the board, members respectively Of the County
Democracy and Tammany Hail. There is no law to
compel the Mayor to keep the board non partisan, but
there sentiment in favor Of this sagacous
political leader would dare to oppose.
Fire Commissioner Richard Croker said when
his attention called TO the report No such action
making Che Police Department partisan machine
las been thought of by Tammany Hall 1t Is
absurd The Board OF Police has the appointment OF
election inspectors and poll clerks. 1t would be
manesty unfair to the minority Of the voters In this
city to refuse TO give them representation In board
which has these powers and would lead to suspicion Of
election frauds Tammany has no desire to give the
city ticket made up of men who will not have at
heart the best interests OF the metropolis. As to my
alleged wish to become a member of the Board OF
Police. can say that under circumstances would
l accept appointment. think 1 may say that
could have been a member Of that board before now
had / desired"
Sheriff Grant said al know positively that there
IS nothing in this The Tammany leaders are
in favor of keeping the Police Board partisan. Why.
the present Republican Police Commissioners, stephen
b. French and John McClave, appointed for fun
term by Mayor Edison, who elected by Tammany
Hall As to Commissioner Croker wanting TO go
into the Police Board, / know that IS untrue He
could have been appointed Police Commissioner II
he had wished IT,"
County Clerk James A. Flack, Deputy County Clerk
Thomas II. GilrOy, Deputy Register James }. Martini
exRegiser John Reilly and other leaders Of Tammany
Hall made the declarations.
The statement that the County Democracy leaders
have definitely decided 10 separate county ticket
IS untrue. No action OF the hind has yet been taken.
although all the indications point that way. lt was
discussed at the meeting of the sub-exccutve com-
Tuesday evening.

NEW DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER EXPOSED
THE HEAD OF THE BROOKLYN FIRE DEPART
MENT DIsGUsTS FAIR-MINDED MEN


Another instance of how partisanshp prevails in
the departments of the Brooklyn city government con-
trolled by Democrats came to light yesterday. The
Irish American Home and Country Protection Brother
hood has headquarters in Wioughby and Jay ss., and
propose putting up a handsome Harrison and Morton
banner. William II. Grace, the head OF the organl-
zaton, applied to Fire Commissioner Ennis for per-
mission TO suspend end Of the banner from
fire department pole In front Of the headquarters.
Under msapprchenslon that Cleveland and Thurman
banner TO be put up Mr. Ennis promptly acceded
the request, and said he hoped good pictures Of
the President and the Old Roman > would be put
up. Mr.. Grace explained that the banner was for
the opposing candidates, when Mr.. Ennis angrily
withdrew his permission and said:
"No Republican banner shall hang from any pole
of this department long / am at the bead OF
it,. Mr.. Grace asked If the Republicans did rot pay
share of the taxes, and have as much right 10 the
use Of the poles as Democrats, but Mr. Ennis would
not hear the subject Tho matter has caused
much comment in political circles In Brooklyn, and
fair-minded men Of both parties believe that MI
Ennis has made another Democratic blunder

Matters at Republican headquarters have seldom
been lvelier than they yesterday Among the
callers Bouele Of Maine who on
his way TO WASHINGTON said: i elected by
majority Of $500 which is fully thousand larger than
we had reason look for. The Democrats made great
fight in Maine year. probably the greatest and most
,boroueb ever at,emrted In November majority for
Harrison and will be larger than the majority Gov
ernor Burcgh received for the simple reason that the
Democrats do to make any further
exertions OF great Republican gains were made
on the tariff ISSUE but think that the temperance plat

do with the victory in Maine 1t Is my impression that
about Third persons who have hitherto votea with
the third party supported candidate his year.
