More than one devout Democratic
newspaper has noticed that Mr.. Grover
Cleveland before the election and Mr.
Grover Cleveland since the election are
very different persons.
The ante.elcction Cleveland opened
not his mouth; for aught an expectant
party knew he was not in the country,
but had wandered of TO some unfre.
quented conner Of tho globe in search OF
something to reform.
Tho post.election Cleveland opened
his mouth right after the election and
has Kept it open over since. The ink
was hardly dry on the returns before he
was out with q challenge OF anyhody's
right to dispute with him the prior right
to rejoice and be glad over what he gra.
ciously assumed 10 be tho triumph OF
his invention.
Cleveland had played oyster. Hill had
gone about over the country playing par.
rot, crying "the tariff is tax" and
otherwise whooping it up for the Free
Trade doctrine of the British party in
America. Cleveland does not seem to
have heard Of Fill in the campaign, and
he would iain have the Democratic par.
5ty forget that there is ouch man as Hill,
or any other man than Cleveland.
The party is not unanimously disposed
to take Mr.. Cleveland's view OF himself
and the rest Of the big.wigs Of Democra.
cy, and the voice OF resentment grows
louder. Nevertheless Cleveland seems
to lead the procession OF Free Traders,
and in view OF his great luck in conven.
tions it would be hazardous TO say that
lie will not capture the nomination. His
career has'been a greattriuuph for bulk.

COMPLICATED CASE.
Dealing in Horse-fesh Gets Sam
Cunningham Into Trouble.
He Claims He Bought a Horse And
Snapped it For Another, Which
Causes His Arrest.

Sam Cunningham, Jr., was ar"
rested Saturday night by Chief of
Police A. G. Stafford for riding Judge
Tyler's horse about the streets. The
arrest was made on Franklin street
about 10 o'clock.
The reports about the case are in
a measure conflicting. 1t is claimed
by some that the horse was ridden
Saturday night by negro boy who
works at Judge Tyler's, and that it
was hitched some place in SHUTDOWN
and while the boy was in the house
the animal disappeared.
Cunningham was seen at the Jail
this morning by a LEAF-CHRoNICLE
reporter and INTERCEPTED in regard
to the case. He replied that about
dark Saturday evening he bought a
horse from negro man near the
standpipe paying $3.50 for him. He
mounted the animal, so he claims,
and started for his home near the
Seven Mile ferry. When near the
corner of Commerce and Seventh
streets he met a negro boy riding a
horse and halted him for a swap

A WATERY WASTE.
The Mississippi River one Vast
Ocean Of Raging Waters.
ClarksviIle People Being Run From Their
Homes by the Raging Water.-A
Sad Picture.


Mississippi river is veritable
ocean. The newspaper accounts
convey only a slight idea of its inn
mensity. Standing on the eminence
at the Custom House in Memphis
one vast sheet of water is spread out
as far as the eye can reach. Looking
straight across the river, the transfer
station of the Memphis and Little
Rock railroad is seen almost entirely
inundated. Turning slightly to the
left and looking down the river, the
Kansas City roads transfer station is
seen, which has not suffered as much
as that of the Little Rock road. Cot
tages are seen floating against trees
and likely at any moment to go
under. The work of desolation is
complete. Nothing that newspa-
per man can say would paint true
picture.
In this watery waste GAINESVILLE
people have suffered. The Memphis
Commercial, with commendable en-
terprise, has had man making a
tour of the flooded district, and in
this mornings paper the true facts
are given. The writer had an inter-
view with the Commercials man last
night, and he said the plantation
belonging to Patrick Henry, OF this
city, is under water. The cottages,
or rather cabins, for the tenants are
washed away, some of them hang
ing in the timber, while Others are
entirely gone. The hands have all
left the plantation. Some of them
spent the night on hOusetops until
help arrived from Memphis. They
were put ashore and made their way
to the highlands out of reach of the
mad waters. Capt. Henry was in
Memphis last night and will likely
be in GAINESVILLE to-day or tO-mor-
row.
Mrs. Douglassl Jordan, who has
been in Arkansas for several years
came up ON the train this morning
She had her two little children with
r her. She says her home was floating
> when she left Arkansas. She thinks
f it almost impossible to give correc
, idea of the damage. Everything
possible is being done to aid thu
9 flood-stricken people, and so far M
g loss Of life has been reported from
t this particular locality. The planta
[ ton belonging to Capt. Henry is a
: Henrico, Ark, and is flooded from
s the Laconia levee break.
5 The end is not yet. The rivers ar
) rising, and it began raining at Mem
e phis last night early. The loss a
a Louisville from the tornado will b
j light compared with that sustaine'
I by people along the lower Mississip
S pi. The greatest fears are enter
G tanned at Memphis, and all unite il
< the belief that it will eclipse an,
). previous overflow.
