81. Louis Republic.
The 1T. Rev. j. H. Vincent, one Of the
founders of the New York Chsutauqua,
mas written letter to q lady admirer de-
timing his position on prohibition. As its
publication causes the Republicans of New
York great uneasiness, it is worth repro
ducing:
DEAR MRS. BILLINGs-1 did not 60 to
Ellenville to talk politics; therefore the
uncertainty about my position among
those who heard me.
I am not . third party man"
Being true prohibitionist, and anti
Romanist, sm Republican.
Truly yours, etc,
JOHN H. VINCENT.
Tent Cottage, CaGItGaqad, July 5.
This is rather epigrammatic than ex-
planatory. The Republican party, while
il does interfere continually With religious
liberty and with personal rights, pretends
not 10 do 30. The Prohibition party, on
the other hand, proclsims openly that re-
ligious liberty and personal rights are
rightly to be limited by the moral sense Of
the majority. Bishop Vincent is not con-
sistent in attempting to be third party
Republican in one principle and remaining
q second party Republican because of a
prejudice. but he is certainly emphatic in
his Republicanism.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1888-07-19

The bristol portion OF the immense
crowd at johnson City on the 4th inst
were considerably put out on account
of the decision rendered by the com.
mittee Oh the competitive drill, and
the captain OF the Bristol company
rather reflects on the ability of the
Judges in an article in last issue Of the
Bristol Courier. We think the gen
tlemen is mistaken. The committee
referred to were Col. T. H. Reeves, OF
this place, Capt. VIM. Nelson, OF
Roam Mountain, and Col. J. H. Mil
Ter, of Elizabethton. The first named
OF the three has the reputation of be-
ing the bes. dlill-master in Tennessee,
and during the war his regiment pre-
sented the finest appearance of all the
troops the State furnished. The 9TH
err two gentlemen are hon0rably dis.
charged officers of the U. S. army, and
both are men OF good judgment.
Surely the opinions OF three gentle
men of their standing and experience
may be accepted as being correct in
a matter OF this kind.-Jonesboro Her

Curious California.

California attracts more attention
at this early stage Of tho Presidential
contest than any other OF the States,
unless it be Indiana. Every one is
anxious to know right away what the
Golden State is going to do but every
one will have considerable difficulty in
finding out. The experience of the
past affords, in this case, scanty infor-
nation OF what may happen in the
future. In 1882 the Democrats cleo.
ted their candidate for Governor by o.
5l9-the largest plurality, by nearly
so per cent, ever given to party in
that State in the last twenty years. In
1886 a Democratic Governor was again
elected, but by the bare margin of 654,
But neither OF these victories can be
relied upon as an indication Of what
may happen in Presidential elections
for the reason that they were greatly
controlled by purely local issues
Sandwiched in between them, for ex-
ample, came the National campaign
of 1884, wherein Mr.. Blaine had in Cali.
fornia 1928 votes more than Mr..
Cleveland. On the other hand, in the

DO NOT INITIATE.

But do your own way, have your
own say so, and make your own way
through the world. But how natural
it is to try and initiate what we be-
lieve is a success. During the Palmy
days OF James X. Polk, it is said that
he had Il fashion OF pulling up his coat
sleeves above the elbow and display
his clean linen sleeve; while he poured
forth upon his audience, streams of
oratory and eloquence, and in very
short time all the little politicians
were doing the very same, and we see
some men following the same practice
to-day. Thus the work goes on, aping
and initiating that which they believe
is smart, that which they think is
beautiful, and that which think is pure,
that which is good, or that which they
believe is a success. This all might
be very well, If our Judgment was al
ways right, but We are so easily mis-
taken that, m attempting to ape that
which we think is best, we take the
worst, and besides this feature, a ma
jority OF your associates will know you
are only initiating another. Don't
initiate. Make up your own SEN
fences, make your own speeches. Do
your own business in your way, unless
you are convinced that another's plan
is better Butneyer use another mans
speeches, or use bis newspaper articles,
or re produce that which another has
originated and once given TO the
world, unless you have absolutely
nothing else TO say, and even then it
would be much better to write or say
nothing, for the world is sure to know
that you are using the thoughts and
sentences of another You are an i'm
itator.
