ORGANIZATION.

THE present outlook for success with
the Democratic party in the approach
ing Legislative struggle in this county
does not appear as bright as we have
seen il at other times, but as we have
said before, there is nothing ahead to
create absolute distrust, or to put us in
awe over the final result. 1t may be a
little easily in the action to begin to surmis
too much or to undertake TO say what
the outcome may be, but one thing is
evident there is room for reflection, and
a bit of counsel. The state OF case be-
fore us is quite similar in all respects to
that we had few years ago when Mr..
Thomas J. Lewis defeated Thomas Nj.
Miller for the Legislature in this county.
Mr.. Mi Her was the Democratic nominee,
and Mr.. Lewis was the peoples candidate,
and by a strong combination of circum-
stances, to-wit, union of the Changers
and Republicans, Mr.. Miller was de-
feated. Long before the election came
off the result could be easily foreseen,
because such combination was power
full and practically invincible. But the
case before us has more favorable sur
roundings, in as much as the opposing
elements are not so strongly allied asyet.
Thomas J. Lewis moreover was person
ally quite popular and had following
in the county that few men ordinarily can
1ri. AIr W
parently upon the popular wave hasn't
had that universal solicitation from the
different sections which would indicate
that his election is a certainty at all haz-
yards. The popular and general upris-
ing that generally proceeds such a call.
Now, what is to be done in the premises
by the Democrats, is the question? The
only plausible and effective method by
which we can successfully meet the OPP
position is by complete and thorough
organization of our forces in all districts
in the county. To accomplish this
Democratic clubs should be at once Or
ganized and the young men in the vari-
Gus precincts put on active duty. Among
so great a number as compose our party
there is nothing so effective for good re-
suits as thorough organization. Let the
young men then take hold of the work,
and at once enter actively into the cam
paign The time has come when much
devolves upon them. All of the work
must not be left in few hands, but
should be distributed in the various
sections, and each allowed to bear his
proportional share OF the burden. In
this alone can good results TO our party
be efFectually brought about.
In the person OF Mr.. ID. II. Sewers, who
is to battle along the way until August,
we have leader OF no bad order. He is
an organizer, a worker, and one who will
instill a bit of enthusiasm among the
boys all along the line. If left to work
under a cold collar he may find his way
rough and somewhat rugged, but if in
spired by his friends, the Democratic
fires will burn brighter and CLEANS Of
hope will appear to cheer him on his
way. 1t is principle for which we bat
tie, and not for the personal gains of any
individual. We, as Democrats, therefore
should, one and all turn our shoulder to
the wheel, and make the first Monday in
August next gala day for Democracy
in this neck of the woods.

Gilbert is an historical speaker and tool
his hearers back to the foundation o.
Democracy. Major Norman had time
only for a short speech, but made every
word count. They were all exponents
of Democracy and able speakers.
A good story was told me by one o.
our neighbors not long since, and as he
was one of the chief actors in the case
its truth can be vouched for. He went
to church one night accompanied by his
son, a lad of twelve or fourteen summers
and as he was rather mischievously in
clined he was taken up in the Amen
corner with his father AT the close Of
the sermon the father was called upon to
pray. AS soon as the son, who had gone
to sleep Ia privilege older lads often in,
dulge i'm heard his fathers voice, he
raised up and yelled, yes" The father
took in the situation at glance. The
boy was in the habit of being called
early to make fires, but he continued the
prayer, the boy still hearing his fathers
voice, once more raised up and yelled
Eyes, I'll be there as soon as / get my
breeches on" II is needless to say con
fusion reigned and the prayer remained
unfinished. The minister was confused
he forgot to dismiss the congregation
and the small boys thought it the jolliest
church going, they had ever experienced

PRESIDENT Harrison on his trip through
the South last week received quite a cor.
dial welcome from the vast throngs OF
people who had gathered around the
railroad stations to see him. The Presi-
dent from the reports is enjoying the
trip, and makes a speech at nearly every
stopping place. At Birmingham, Ala,
in his speech he said, "The American
home is one thing we cannot afford to
lose out of the American life. AS long
as we have pure homes and God-fearing
order, loving fathers and mothers to rear
the children that are given them, and
make these homes the abodes OF order,
clean linens, piety and intelligence, the
American society and the American
union are safe" We quote this to show
that Republican President is sometimes
given to saying a good thing as well as
other people.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

Besides furnishing water to the lnhab-
ltants at their door, it will be a protec-
ton to the business portion Of the city,
which at the present time is a thing
greatly needed. Water can be fur
