senators in their protracted and
finally successful struggle against the
revolutionary and odious force bill,

dauntless courage and rare tact and
ability. In the management Of that
memorable and momentous contest he
has worthily earned a renewal Of his
commission as United States senator.

of Maryland and of the whole country

cure for us a continuance in the cOun-
ellis Of the nation of the benefits of his
enlarged experience, sound Judgment
and commanding influence, this con-
vention voicing the unanimous senti-
ment of the Democracy of all sections

reclamation for reelection to the SEN

tive of the Democratic party of this
state do earnestly call upon the Dem
ocratic members of the next general
assembly to give him their unanimous,
enthusiastic and unWavering support.

PLEASANT VIEW ITEMS.

Rev. Cocks came out Sunday to fill
his appointment, but on account of
the inclemency of the weather there
was no preaching. This promptness
of Rev. Cocks under such circumstan-

of the people than any sermon could
make.
All is hope and cheer now, and
farmers are making a stir. &.
Another wedding is expected a lit
tie west of here soon; wonder if we
will be invited.
Mrs. Mckay of Logan, was here
visiting last week.

The Hayseed.
We can all of MS remember

We can all OF u remember
How along about September
The papers used TO tell Of the caucus or the
fair:
And those fellows from the city
Used 70 get almighty witty
On the fellow with the buster, VII. had hay
seed in his hair
They had fun in Legislators
With the man who rails ed pototers
II BY any hook or crook or chance elected
and sent there:
And those reportorial friskers
Csed 10 comment on the wiskers
And the earpetsaek of Bllson, who had
hayseed in his hair.
Yes, by gum. he rode his pass out,
And he used 10 blow the gass out,
And he used TO drink hard cider when he
went out on a tear:
And he used to squeeze the dollar
TIL the BuEzard used TO boiler;
The man cut up ridiculous that had hayseed
in his hair;
But, by gum, if you've been reading
You'll observe strange proceeding;
It's the fellow with chin whiskers that is
slowly getting there;
And it won't be too surprising
If, by slowly organizing,
Old parties may wake up and find the hayseed
in their hair.
When the fashions change you fellers
VIII all carry green umbrellas,
And trousers wide aeIoss the seat, TO make
the dudlets stare;
And in those days, If you pass muster,
You must wear 4 linen buster,
And if You want to throw on style, put hay
seed in your hair.
