On Saturday eve, Oct. LIST, there
came from Jeff City a dazzling com

time Christian doctrine that there
would be more rejoicing over one lost
sheep that was found than over 30
and . that went not astray.
The band landing at Bass at 1870
p. ~. began singing, pleading, en-
treating and begging old-time Demo
cratic standard bearers to come to
the front in this the hour Of dire
calamity.

Vaughter, the last exhorter on the
program, likencd the Republican
party to an obstinate mule standing
over an awful precipice with the
Democratic partya hold of the tail,
holding hard TO save them from de-
struction. (Thanks to friend V. for
acknowledging the situation just as
it is. the Democratic party will con-
tinue to hold TO the tail after No

Mr.. Brown, the chosen orator of
the day, spoke IF the great need TO
organize the Democracy of the state.
He stood trembling before the audi
cnce beseeching some one 10 come
forward and mike 4 start in the
old fursaken Democratic paths of
jefferson and Jackson. This last
appeal. aided by the enthusiasm of
Hon. VIM. Gordon, and the only one
of the crowd together with the prom
Use of the leader of the Glee club to
sing a song for every one who would
subscribe, brought a mighty rush of
smoolh-facsd boys. TOO young to vote
and anxious to prolong the meeting
that they might have time to spark
their hest girls, forward. But old
reliable Democrats were not to be
bound to the stake.
Mr.. Zeverly made the best Repub.

Mr.. LuckctL gave 4 racy speevh,
trying TO prove Maj. VIM. Warner

The session closed very dry, for
the discounted workers came through
the town of b, at an early hour, hey

club for a drop of water to cool their
parched lips. Tue greeting they re
ccived. was, lIurrah for Warner!
This so incensed them they drove
Indignantly away without one drop.
Rather suffer the pangs of thirst than
to be administered to by the Warner
boys.
We must thank the Glec club for
their excellent music, but would re-
commend them 10 join some 9th +
hand. Their jolly cllorous does not
accord with the Respondent feelings
of the Democratic party this fall.
Come again jeff.
