"The Republicans are making just such
another campaign as that OF August last, !"
remarked stalwart and observant Demo-
crat to an APPEAL reporter yesterday.
Ozark, mysterious and doubtful, | sup
pose?" suggested the reporter.
Every, indeed. Nearly everything they
do is secret, performed after other people
have gone to bed and dream not of pertid-
ious intrigue. The colored people are al
ready showing symptoms OF infection
which indicate that they are going to as.
sumo an Aggressive attitude at the
polls on election day. You can
now, il you observe closely, see
them organize impromptu clans whenever
the subject Of politics is up for discussion
among them. Draw yet a little nearer TO
them and you will hear denuncialion Of
the Democratic party for all manner OF
crimes against the sanctity OF the ballot
box, at the same time proclaiming for
themselves a patriotism that calls for death
rather than such deprivation OF their cleo
ton franchise. All this sort OF stuff can
be the result OF but one thing, and that is
the wicked Vaccinations Of unprincipled
and selfish leaders"

Every heeler in the party seems 10 be well

sources than Eaton, too; there IL too much
Of 1t for him to have turned loose"

The battle in Shelby county must and

those in their vicinity whose services they
can enlist. That is the reason why next
week will witness some Of the hardest
political hcks ever struck in Memphis.
Democratic legislative candidates have al.

ROUGH DRIVING GAME.
Waterburys Make a Hard Battle but Vi

Waterburys Make a Hard Battle but Vic-
 tory is snatched From Them.
 A hard earned victory was snatched from the local polo team in the game at the Rink last evening" The calling of foul in the last goal, making the third, defeated them when the game was theirs. Ordinarily such action of Referee Sperry would not be worthy of notice but when a team leads one goal, and the expiration of time is close at hand, and two fouls are already ness in calling fouls. Frazier undoubted- ly unintentionally fouled and Sperry was right when he called foul but he neglect ed to do the same thing in the same goal, when Williams fouled with Cunningham. Both teams fouled frequently during the first half of the game and it was in bad taste to put on the fines at the close of the game. The local team played an ex- cellent game and the crowd displayed an unusual ammount of enthusiasm. It was the toughest game of the season and no- ticeable for the number of accidents to players and skates. There was in all one hour and twenty minutes waiting time. In the fourth goal Churchill had bay window constructed on his eye and retired. His place was filled by Williams. Hill, at half back, was target for all the hot lin ers One of them struck him in the mouth and had they been bullets from rife he would have been perforated like a sieve. In the ninth goal he was knocked down and his lame knee so badly injured that he was unfit to play out the game, but he pluckily remained at his work and did re- markedly well considering the intense pain he was suffering The score: ~

CORONER MIX INVESTIGATING. Trying to Clear up the Cause of Mrs
 Rogers Death.

The remains of Mary E. Rogers, wife of Robert R. Rogers, bartender at Hodson's saloon on Exchange place, lie in a casket in the Hall Memorial chapel. The woman's death, as stated in yesterdays DEMOCRAT, occurred Saturday evening. She and her husband had occupied rooms in the Grand Army block, and her death was reported yesterday to have been due to neglect. This was denied by Drs North and McDon- aid pending an investigation. This morning Medical Examiner North after examining several witnesses telegraphed Coroner Mix to come here and make an investigation. MT Mix arrived this afternoon and at 2:3O o'clock began the examination of witnesses, including the husband and mother of the deceased, the testimony up to 3.3O o'clock being very near the same as that at Dr North's investigation.
 The testi mony thus far shows that Mrs Rogers had been sick ten weelasand during that time had had several doctors at yari- ous times Dr Mcdonald had been called in on the day of her death, and Dr w. H. Holmes called ill the evening and found her dying. Mrs Denim, the deceased wom- ans mother, alleges cruelty and neglect and Rogers declares that his wife was a hard drinker and that he did all he could for her. The .woman's body IS covered with bruises, the result of her hus- hands cruelty, Mrs Denim says, but Rog- CTS attributes them to falls while she was intoxicated.
 Coroner Mix could not say this afternoon whether the investigation would result in post-mortem examination.

 There is no choice in seats at the Opera House this evening at Prof Russells benefit The seats are 50 cents all over the house. Prof RusselPs talent is too well known to need any mention further than that he will read from Haunted Man." by Charles Dickens.
 The appearance at the Opera House to- morrow evening of Tony Denier's Hump ty Dumpty" Company in that popular pan tomine will undoubtedly draw full house. The Boston Globe says: "The audience was large. The troupe is particularly good one, and the fact that the spectators were kept in roar of laughter the whole even ing, shows how complete was the success of the entertainment. The clown was par ticularly funny, and the speciality acts were all admirably done."
 Mrs James Brown Potter's first appear ance at the Opera house will be the theat- rical event of the week. The date set for her performance has been changed from Friday to Thursday to avoid collision with the Firemen's ball. Mrs Potter will apear in 'sLoyal Love'' Mrs Potter's tour is un- der the management of MT H. c. Miner, who has, as able assistants, Messrs James Barton Key and H. B. Lonsdale. In the company are MT Kyrle Bellew, from Wallack's s Theatre, and MT Harry Lee, and many other well-known names.
 The beautiful hall of the Concordia Sing ing Society will be the scene of gaiety this evening on the occasion of their an nual concert and masquerade ball. The Amphion orchestra will furnish music and I Uffendale will call the numbers.

Fifteen Thousand Dollars Wanted-The Auditor,s NIanifnld Duties.


 Auditors Manifold Duties.
 The Board of Finance last evening sue ceeded in getting quorum together and approved the bills for the last quarter and December, and authorized the Mayor, Clerk and Auditor to make 8 temporary loan of S15,O00, first half of the loan authorized by the Court of Common Council. The board discussed the question of securing a lower rate of interest on the temporary loan but deferred action until the next meeting. It has been the custom for the various departments to make their pur- chases of supplies upon being author ized to do so by the proper boarsd but the new Board of Finance has discovered that such course is not in ac- cordance with the charter, and last evening gave instructions that section 60 of the charter be observed in the purchase of supplies. The section reads as follows:
 -''The Auditor should examine all ac- counts against the city, as provided in sec tion 28, countersign all orders upon the treasurer and keep the city accounts in such manner as the Court of Common Council may direct. He shall contract for and pro- vide the necessary fuel, furniture, station cry and incidental articles and services re- quired for the different offices and depart ments, subject to the approval of the Mayor"
