The flower of Davie Democracy
is in the field; popular, aggressive

When it comes to the scratch our
aromatic "Aleck0 VIII find he has
run against snag aga;n-the same
identical snag he ran against in 80,
when G. C. Sanford, by whom all
Democrats swear, had him elected to
stay at home and make more red
eyed Bailey flicker" u
Hon. G. w. Sanderlin, the Zeb
Vance of the present campaign, de
livered two telling speeches in this
county Friday Iast-at Pennington
in the afternoon and Cana at night.
We expected much from Mr.. San
derlin, and were not disappointed in
our expectations. He stumps it with
vim, and did much and lasting
good for our Democracy; good
which will be seen and felt when
the ballots are piled up in Novem-
Der. He topples from the sublime
to the ridiculous quicker than any
speaker we ever heard, and does it
with grace that is inimitable His
happy hits, his Simon-pure Democ-
racy, preached in forcible English,
and his imprisoned flights always
take the Democratic rag off the Re
publican bush. Let speakers come,
let speakers go, but let Sanderlin go
on forever.
At Cana, that Galilean city where
the 10Th century miracle-worker,
Sanderlin, turned so much Republi-
can water into Democratic wine, the
night air was chilly, and our atten-
ton was attracted to forlorn-look-
ing linen buster, gently Tapping tC

Some Of our Republican friends
we hear, are blowing like porpoise
over the recent 'fgreat Republical
victory" in the maple-sugar State 0
Vermont, which is SO ably misrep
resented in the q. S. Senate by tina
thawless icicle who rejoices in tn
euphonious cognomen Edmunds
and who has been repeatedly down
ed in his jaundiced efforts to ''freez
out" Cleveland.
Any one at all conversant wit
national politics knows that, so t
speak, from "period of time SO re

not to the contrary" the frozen littl
hillside State has been giving Re
