questions OF Democratic policy; the peo-
pie believe him to be strong, cour-
ageous, honest and patriotic; he gave
the country q magnificent administra-
ton, and he will be the man to lead the
Democracy to victory in 1892. That
these opinions represent the sentiment
Of the mass Of Democratic voters
throughout the country there can be
little doubt. They are more interested
In electing a Democratic President
next year than they are In making the
doctrine Of free coinage the standard OF
party LOYALTY. They think that Demo
Gratis who indorse it and Democrats who
oppose it should cooperate in spite OF
the difference to obtain that which is OF
greater Importance. After the battle
has been fought and WOE satisfactory
compromise between the two divisions
of the party in respect to the subject OF
silver coinage could be effected.
Senator Kenna distinctly points to
such a probability. No intelligent
Democratic advocate of free coinage de-
sires to drive gold out Of the country.
II he thought 1t would have that effect,
he would not advocate it. The ONO
Democratic platform expresses the feel-
ing of the party when 1t calls for the
restoration OF the constitutional stand
ard of gold and silver. Respect for the
constitutional standard forbids discrim-
nation against either coin. They are
to be maintained on parity. III
it can be demonstrated that snch
party would be destroyed by unlimited
coinage Of silver the Democratic advo-
Gates of the latter system would con-
sent to order a halt at the danger line.
They will not insist upon policy, the
inevitable consequences OF which would
be to prevent that circulation OF gold
and silver on equal terms which the
constitution cOntemplates. Once satisfy
them that Mr. Cleveland is right In his
opinion that free coinage would result
in the substitution Of silver for a gold
standard, and they will cheerfully con-
sent to the policy of restricted coin
age. It would be possible to provide
for large supply of money without
disturbing the present harmonious reia-
lations Of the two metals.
Hence the masses Of the Democracy
are not disposed to pick a quarrel with
edcn OLner on InlS pOlHI WHOh ShOJ H"'
in the Mckinley act and the extrava-
CANT trend Of the late Congress two is
sues which give them every assurance
OF vanquishing the enemy. They would
be great fools TO throw away this
chance and take up an issue which
would transfer the advantage to the
Republicans. From present appear
ances the year 1892 is going to be
year of practical politics." Each side
means to do its level best to win. There
is no man in the Democratic party whose
'claims" are superior to the claims OF
the next Democratic national conven-'
ton to select the candidate who is most
likely to beat his adversary. 1t is the
Democrats turn at the helm of the ship
OF state. They ought to be there now,
and would have been but for Mr.. Cleve-
lands tactical error in December, 1887.
Their opportunity to resume power In
March, 1893, is excellent, and they mean
to embrace it for all it is worth.

The Gilchrist Farm, near Milford, is
a singular exception, for from its 1900
trees 1000 baskets will be plucked. The
General Vanbose Farm nearby, how
ever. will yield only half dozen bas-
kets from 1000 trees. The most re-
markable failure was the 3,200-tree or
chard of Captain Thomas HUMPHREYS,
also near Milford. The crop was APP

Oldest Horse on Record.

The oldest horse on record is owned
by Major Robert Mas, of Louisville,
KY, so claims the papers of that State,
who possess papers proving its age to
be something over forty-seven years
Ivanhoe, as he is called, is large bay
with a white spot on his forehead, and,
up to few years ago, of a gentle,
affectionate disposition, but has grown
peevish and capricious with his increas-
ing age. This, however, is only mani
tested toward strangers, while he is de-
voted to his master and his children,
who play about him with perfect
fearlessness. Ivanhoe was stolen
several times during the civil
war, but invariably made his way back
in safety TO his pasture, having contriv-
ed in some way TO escape from his cap
tors.
He bears on the right flank the scar
of a gunshot wound received in the Mex
lean war at the battle of Buena Vista,
while ridden by Major Mas grandfath-
er. 1t is over thirty years since Ivan

intrusions with vigorous use OF his
teeth and heels. His faculties all ap-
pear unimpaired, with the exception OF
a total deafness resulting from a severe
attack Of disease prevalent few years
ago.
Far from being feeble, Ivanhoe moves
briskly about, and will often PRINT two
or three of the younger children to
mount and ride him about the pasture.
He has, however, lost nearly all of his
teeth, and lives upon boiled corn and
other soft food. He made his last ap-
pearance in public at the cattle fair held
in Lexington last fall, and came home
completely denuded Of his name and
tail by people thus securing relics of
the oldest horse known.
