Tle Points at Issue.

An exchange-makes the following
analysis of the two political plat
forms:
eve think this "a fair statement
Of the Democratic aud of the Re
publican case in the appeal TO the
country they make on Il great na
tional iSsue this year:
THE Democratic platform sug-
costa IA moderate reduction of tax
alton on the necessities of life
The Republican platform charac-
!erizes this as free trade, and re-
commendS instead that tobacco hc
relieved from taxation.
"The Democratic platforms re.
commends a less tax upon wool,
which entersin nearly every article
of clothing worn by he people.
This is denounced by the Republi
can platform, although IN doing SO
lit is antagonizcd BY tho Presidents
Grant, Garfield, Arthur, and such
great men as Webster, Sumner,
Wilson, and Seward.
"The Democratic platform re-
minds us that the present law i'm.
poses a burden Oh those who Coll
sumo domestic produce. The Re.
publican platform seeks to construe
this as an assault upon the manu-
featuring interests Of the United
States.
1.-The Democratic party accept
the challenge, and will light the
battle upon the field chosen By it's
advtrSarieS.
"Combincd capital, under the
gulse of trusts, on one side, and
an army of honest toilerS on the
other! Cheap whisky and cheap
cigarettes are offered by the Re
publicans; cheap sugar, cheap salt,
cheap clothing, cheap blankets.
cheap farming implements, and
cheap neceSSaries of life are prom
ised by the Democratic party OF

Thiir DEC rsEceS.

WASHINGTON. July IA truce
has been effected between ex Sen
ator Malone and Senatc, Riddle
berger, by which their long stand
ing personal differences have been
laid aside sufficiently to allow them
to work in harmony for the success
of the Republican electoral ticket
IN Virginia.
In conversation with your cor
respondent tonight Senator Riddle
berger said:
cat the earnest solicitation of
some of the most prominent of the
Republican national leaders | made
a proposal to Senator Malone to
meet me with view to the adjust
ment of our differences. He came
to see me at Chicago, where 7 was
acting with what is miScalled the
Wise faction, but the time was no.,
opportune, and the interview WAS
postponed until we reached Wash
ington, when he came to see me Al
nv rooms. We had Il long and
earnest talk and have met twice
since.
"The result of those conferences
is that we can now work together
for the good Of the. Republican
Marty. We both recognized that
that great interest was paramount,
and that our personal differences
were insignificant beside 1t. The
same flag of truce will he extended
in other directions until the Re
publican party of Virginia is again
q harmonious whole.
"The differences between Wise
and Malone are beyond the politi
cal line-they are personal and
must and should be swept aside
The situation at Chicago was this:
We got fourteen delegates and Ma
hone but ten, but the convention
recognized the formaIity of his
State convention, which left him
practically master OF the situation.
At Chicago the Wise faction pro-
posed to put me on as national
committeeman and took that &C
tion, but when it was learned thai
Malone was willing to support me
they whip sawed right around anG
voted for ex Congressman Brady.
whom they knew Malone wou'G
never support. Ex Licut.-Gov. Lew
is and one other delegate, However
refused to support this action. AL
this was a direct blow at harmon,
aud reconciliation.
II speak with perfect confidence
when I say that Senator Manont
has been and is wiling to go a
far toward reconciliation as anyone
has right to expect, but Brady he
will never recognize. The result
will be that Brady will be ignored
in the management Of the State
campaign. When the district con.
ventions meet they will nominate
candidates for Congress and eject
ors, and prohabl, will pas, resolu
tons expressing lack circumference
in MIR. Brady. Whether or not
this will have the desired effect is
all open question.
ut is my honest opinion that we
have a good fighting chance to
carry Virginia for the Republican
presidential ticket, and that it is
the only State i'll the South where
that ticket stands a ghost of a
chance"

Of 1884 for President. Nest oil. the
cables purporting to give the off

Cleveland, democrat........4S73.G72
Blaine, republican..........4,S50 ,7S9
Butler. greenback............ lS4.9S3
St. John, prohibition........ 149,092
The total vote cast was 10,O5I,.

Blaine was 22,SS3. Cleveland ear
ried 20 States and Blaine carried
Is.
The close Cleveland States were
Nov York, where his majority
was 1,119, and Connecticut where
he received .274majority. Blaine's
close States were Nevada, where
he:had 1,6l5 majority,and Oregon,
where he received 2.256 majority.
Tie highest Prohibition vote was
25,0O6 in New York and The high-

STRUCK FOR THE WOODS.
A Man Who Took Sam Jones Ad-
vice Literally and Come
Out Well.
From tho Atlanta Constitution

From tho Atlanta Constitution.
Here is a story that Sam Jones
told in the First Methodist pulpit
last week. He SAID:
II was making a prohibition
speech ia Robertson county, Tenn,
last year, aud l noticed on the right
OF the platform bleared, blOated
fellow who Was about three parts
drunk-each part a third, As l
talked he would screw his fist into
his eyes and wipe away the tears.
After tie speaking / went to
friends house perfectly exhausted
and lay down. The lady of the
house called at the door in a few
minutes that man wauted to see
me.
"Tell him / am tired 1 said, 'and
please excuse me-
"That is all Gght, she said, sany-
how, because he is drunken, rag.
ged vagabond.'
81 said: IF he is that sort of a fel.
low let him in. 1 nsedto belong to
that gang myself, aud 1 never 90
back on them.' The man came IN
aud | found he was the drunken
fellow who had listened to me speak.
"He said: 'Mr. Jones, | don't
want any money. Money can do
me no good. am a ruined man.
Drink has made me wreck. A
short time ago | had happy home
aud household. A few weeks ago
| buried my wife, having crushed
every drop of blood out of her heart
before she died. My two boys are
at the orphans home in Nashville.
One of them is little blind fellow.
My two girls are in Murfreesboro,
and this (here he pulled little
black cap out of his pocket, this il
the last thing that is left to remind
me that / ever had household. 1t
is my little blind boys cap. Now,
L do not want any money from you,
but | just got an idea from the way
you talked that maybe yon had
some sympathy for me. 1t you have,
pray for me. Goodbye Aud he
started Oft.
Hold on here" said /, and call.
ed up Mr.. Taylor, my secretary, and
said: "Frank, go up town With this
man and wash him all over with
soap aud put a new suit of clothes
on him from head to foot, and
bring him back! La an hour or so
he came back aud l did not know
him. ] had to ie introduced to him

TO him and said: "Rairoad fare in

here is 81. Now you get on train
and ride thirty-three miles, no mat
ter in what direction, aud get the
conductor TO put you of in the
woods when your thirty-three miles
is O1t, aud then you stIike out
through the woods for new life.'
"The fellow did exactly as l told
him, got letter from him the
other day and be said that he got
into the woods and struck for a

OUR MINISTER'S SERMON.

The minister said last night. says he;
"Don't be afraid of glvin';
If Your life amt worth nothin' to other
folks,
Why, what's the use Of livin'P
And that's what says to my wife, says
There's Brown, tho miserable sinner,
He'd sooner beggar would starve than
Give ceut toward buying dinner.
tell you our minister is prime, he is,
But could not quite determine,
When heard him a-givin,it right and
left,
Just who was hit by the sermon,
OF course there could't be no mistake
When he talked oflong-winded prayin'
For Peters and johnson, they sat and
scrowled
At every word he was sayin.
Aud the minister he went on to say,
"There's various kinds of cheatin',
And religions as good for every day
As it is to bring too meetin',
/ don't think much of the man that give
The loud amens at my preachin',
And spends his time the following week
In cbeatin' aud oyerreachin'.
l guess that dose was bitter enough,
For man like Jones to swaller;
But noticed he didn't open his mouth,
Not once, after that, to holler;
i aora Gov 1,,a ,,,s or
Ofcourse said it quiet
Give US some more of this open talk,
It's very refreshin' diet.
The minister hit 'em every time,
And when he spoke Of fashion,
And riggin's out in bows and things,
And woman's rulin passion,
And coming to church to see she styles,
l couldn't help a-winkin'
And nudgin' my wife, says "Thats you,
And guess it sot her a-thinkin'.
Says to myself, that sermons pat,
But man is a queer creation,
And am much afraid that most of folks
Won't take the application.
Now, if he had said one word about
My personal mode of sinnin,
I'd have gone to work to right myself,
A not sit there GRIMM.
Just then the minister says, says,
"And nom I've come to the fellers
WhO've lost this shower by usin' their
friends
As q sort O. moral umbrella;
Go home," says he, 'and>hnd your faults,
Instead of huntin' your brothers,
Go home." says he land wear the coats
You tried to fit for Others"
Ny wife she nudged ,and Brown he winked
Aud there was lots o. smilin',
And lots o. looking at our paw.
1t sot my blood bilin',
Says / to myself, our minister
Is gittin' little bitter,
Pll tell him when the meetins out,
aiu't that kind of a critter.
