Goodbye, BOOSTERS, Goodbye

We don't want anyone, especially a
Democrat, who reads this item to give
us away to Neighbor Moore, but we
tell you on the dead that among those
lusty roesters in the columns of The
Gazette last week, Growing for the
Democratic victory, were a couple of
roosters brought up and nurtured in
THE REPUBLICAN office. How they got
into The Gazette's hands need not be
told, but in our distress was it not a
kind of mean advantage to take to
turn the growing of those feathered
beauties on us. especially when consid-
eringall the trouble we had in training
them to be loyal roosters? But they
are good growers, all the same, as they
could not very well avoid being SO,
having had SO much practice in growing
over Republican victories in the good
old years past We hope the birds will
be taken good care of by Bro. Moore,
for we shall want the fowls with every
note pitched to it's highest key and
each tail feather erect, two years hence,
when the present political wash-out
will be turned completely around.

A Democrats View.

Senator A. P. German, of Maryland
who has been practically chairman Of
the National and Congressional Demo
cratic committees, rendered the fol.
lowing view of the Republican land
slide to a Washington correspondent
He said:
"While the Democrats throughout
the land are to be congratulated on the
handsome manner in which they turn
ed out and went to the polls on election
day, it must not be forgotten that a
careful review of the figures will show
but slight increase in the Democratic
vote. 1t will not do for us to break
ranks and imagine that we have secured
a position that cannot be shaken by our
enemies two years hence. / have been
looking over the figures this morning
and I find that we polled within 900 OF
our full vote in Baltimore City, while
the Republicans were several thousand
short. So it goes in nearly all of the
states. The returns show that Repub-
licans were SO disguised with their
leaders in congress that they refused to
vote for them. They did not turn
around and vote for us, but they sim
ply remained away from the polls
Thus it will be seen that men do not
change their politics any more readily
than they change their religion. They
will refuse to vote with their party
sometimes, but they seldom vote with
their enemies. 1t, therefore, behooves
our people to maintain their organiza-
ton and endeavor to hold the advan-
tage they have gained in the recent
struggle"

ferson county in 1888, was 1858 against
6, 440 in 1890, a falling off of 1913 votes.
Hoard's vote in the county in 1888 was
1925, against z, 232 in 1890, loss of 1913.
Morgan's vote in 1888 was 4,239 and
Peck's 4 POS, a loss of 80 for Peck over
two years ago. Next to Hoard, Coe for
secretary of state, receives the highest
vote in the county on the Republican
state ticket. Take the vote on lieuten-
ant-governor, which is fair criterion
of the average vote for each party and
Cooper runs thirty-six ahead of his
party vote. Among the county officers
Henze, for sheriff gets the largest vote
among the Democrats and Pipor the
lowest, except in the case of Perkins
for superintendent, who did not run in
the city of Watertown. Among the Re-
publican candidates on the county
ticket, Jones has the largest vote and
futile the smallest Greene is 25S votes
behind Peck, and Stone is 286 behind
Hoard.

Obituary.

John Usher, one of the oldest of our
citizens, died at his home in the Fourth
ward, Friday last, November Z, $780,
He had been blind for few years past
and was in quite a helpless condition
for some time before he died. The ex-
act age Of the deceased is not known,
some claiming that he had reached 100
years and over, but from the best
authenticated sources, his age is set
down at from 81 years to 90 years. Mr..
Usher was native of the County Gal
way ,ssIreland, and had resided in Wa
tertown for some forty years. He was a
widower and leaves three sons and one
daughter. His funeral was held Sun
day afternoon from st. Bernard's
church.
William G. Paynter, nephew of Mrs.
R. E. Davies, of this city, died at the

4 Nelc Railroad.

The following is from the railroad
news column of Tuesdays American:
"There is line in process of con.
structiOn from Evansville through
Kentucky and Tennessee to Chatta-
nooga, that will be extended to At
lanta, and from thence to the South
Atlantic coast. This line makes the
distance seventy-siX miles shorter
between Chattanooga and Evansville
than the present line. In fact, it will
be almost an air line from Evansville
via Chattanooga to Atlanta and the
Atlantic coast. 1t is backed by some
of the wealthiest men in the country,
who have control of the Peoria, Dc.
catur & Evansville and East Illinois,
Evansville & Terre Haute lines.
The road is known as the Chicago,
Henderson, Bowling'Green Il Chatta-
nooga Railroad company. Ample
capital has been arranged for to push
this road through rapidly, and to
bring to Atlanta's door one of the
strongest systems in the United
States"
This road could be built, possibly,
without coming through McMinn-
vile, but sensible railroad men don't
often build roads twenty or thirty
miles longer, through rough, unde.
veloped country, just to get around a
town like McMinnville. Men who
build railroads like to strike a real
good town every hundred miles or so,
anyway, and McMinnville is the
only one of that character this pro-
posed new road can touch between
Bowling Green and Chattanooga. We
want the new road to whoop things
up and come on fast. This county
will sell them the right of way cheap,
and cross ties at market prices.

Too Mann Subscribers.
The srANpARp has too many SUI!

The STANDARD has too many sub
scribers. This is a rather startling
and paradoxical statement for ceun-
try newspaper to make, but it is strict
ly true, If you will allow us to quail
fly it little. The STANDARD has too
many subscribers who are in arrears.
1t has good many more now than
it will have this time next week.
Early in this month we sent out ac>
counts to over one hundred subscri-
bers who were in arrears. Quite a
number of them have responded, and
al others we do not hear from in am
other week will be dropped from our
list. Gentle reader, if you are among
the delinquents, and fail to receive
the STANDARD next week, don't
growl at the postmaster about it, you
know exactly what is the matter
you owe us and won't pay. We can't
afford to send you the paper any
longer just for fun. We have paid
out about three thousand dollars for
this kind of fun in the last eight
years, and have just as much Of it on
hand as we want. If you want to
tickle US in the future, try the cash
plan. Don't imagine because your
account is small it won't matter
whether you send it now or not.
Look at the date under your name
on margin of paper. Thatdate shows
to when your subscription is paid. If
those who are only few months in
arrears will pay up for year, it will
suit us all the better.
