They were beautiful eyes, but they were

A bat, disturbed by the unusual activ-

the dusty building.
Great ropes Of cobwebs hung down from

The dust rose in listless clouds from the
shock Of the heavy football and sank again,
overcome by its own inertia.
Even the air was resting.
The spirit Of desolation seemed to per

upon her dim surroundings and shivered.
The man laughed harshly.

In 1892 Il, ZOO, 900 votes will DO cast in
this country for the national tickets.
Fully 2,0OO, 900 men in that year will cast
the first ballot which they have ever
deposited In Q national canvass. Over
100000 Of these 1905, 900 were born
since Fort Sumter surrendered 10 the
rebels and the civilcOnflict began. More
than 6,OOO, 900 Of them came into being
since the republican party first entered
the national arena In 1856. That Is to say,
one-fourth Of the men who will vote in
the election which will choose the
country's executive for the period be-
tween 1898 and 1898 know nothing from
personal recollection Of any issue except
those which are still vital. The memory
Of one-third Of them does not go back
farther than the campaign Of 1872 or 1876,
after the South had been completely re-
organized and had resumed Its political
functions with the same power and free
dom as Of old. To fully one-half Of them
the recollection Of the war and recon
struction periods Is absent altogether,
or is dim, AeetinG and shadowy.
For the leaders and organizers Of each
Of the two great parties there is q vital
significance in these figures. Nearly II
not quite half Of the men who will vote
for president next year know nothing di-
rectly and from actual recollections Of the
passion and prejudices Of the war, and
are not and can not be made subject to
their influences. They care nothing
practically for the questions which dlvid-
ed the people Of twenty-five years ago,
and will not be swayed one way or the
other as respects their Judgement on can
didates by the attitude which these can
dldates bore to the issues and policies Of
that period. What they ask is policy
framed to meet the requirements Of the
present time, and men to champion Ii
and carry 1t out who are in sympathy
with It and qualified, irrespective Of the
political leanings or preferences Of the lat
ter in the carrier days. They are essen
tally and intensely modern, and demand
q party program and party nominations
which recognize and conform to modern
ideas. In spirit and purpose they are
eminently and emphatically practical in
all political matters, and insist on Prac-
ticalities from the party to which they
give their support. These are the men
whom the partisan chieftains, in drawing
the lines for the great political struggle in
1892, will be compelled to take into &C.
count. They constitute the most active
and aggressive element among the
voters, and in their keeping lies the fate
Of parties, policies and potentates.
