Tribune, was somewhat lrrltated yeSter-
day when he learned that the new Dem
ocratic Club contained an enrolled
membership of nearly so the first night.
The Republicans had at least two meet
ings before the membership of their
new club showed up in as good form as
their opponents. The editor OF the
Tribune should not feel so bad because
Of the good showing Of the Democrats.
The Colonel will admit himself that
the Democracy has a hard fight be-
fore it. The Tribune man has a ten
der spot that usually stirs up when
the wool question is brought forward.
He knows that he cannot make the far
mers believe that "a cents pound for
wool under the new tariff is as good as
80 and 80 cents under the old. Natural
causes may be the result Of the decline
in price of this article, but where is the
wool grower who will listen long enough
for you to explain the reason. He knows
his pocketbook IS suffering and he Will
want a change. The outlook for the
Democracy in this state is very good.
The candidates stand we'll throughout
the state and IL the boys in Hamilton
county can be brought to time, Mr.. Nc
Kinley will have to look to his laurels.
The Tribune man knows this and it cuts
him to the quick at the very thought.
On Thursday night after the Epworth
Assembly had closed the exercises for
the season at Burr's Mills, the tenters
on the grounds repaired to the hotel and
surprised Mrs. r. A. Johnson, the
hostess. 1t was Mrs. JohnSon's birth
day and the crowd turned out to cele-
brate it. Rev. T. w. Lane, on behalt
of the folks assembled, presented the
lady with q handsome hand satchel.
After singing all sat down to repast
and toasts were exchanged by num-
Der of the ladies and gentlemen present.
1t was happy ending OF
one Of the most pleasant pro-
grammes ever inaugurated on
any camp ground. The Epworth Assem-
bly was an experiment, but is no longer
one now. The public took hold Of the
departure with considerable vim and all
feel that next year will be a memorable
one on the grounds. About 5000 was
spent for lectures and entertainments
and the sum will be larger at the next
meeting of the Assembly. Camp meet
ing at Burr's Mills is a thing OF the
past.
