 WASHINGTON, March 9.-Mr. Spring CTS condition shows little change. The doctors say he has held his own since morning, and the symptoms are favorable for a fairly good night Yet there has been some re- turn of the delirium and coma, and it cannot be said that the patient is making any permanent gain, though he seemed to be improving part of the time today. His nervous condition is growing more serious, and while the nervous sensitivcness is said to be a more promising sign than the coma, 1t shows how extremely weak his whole system is. Dr. Vincent has not given up hope of his recovery, but he does not place too much confidence in symp- toms that seem temporarily favorable.

Blue Grass Blade, published at

deacons and was led into the woods

Moore was once a minister of the
Christian church. but is now an inf
del. His attacks en- the church
here, its pastor, Elder John $.
Sweeney, and its membership, have
been SO savage as to excite u storm
OF indignation, eliminating in to-
days action.
The articles printed in the Blade
during the past few weeks have
been particularly abusive, Moore
not even hesitating to publish family
secrets. In the last issue of his
paper he roasted" the church dea-
cons. going 50 far back as twenty
years for material.
Elder John S. Sweeney is to be in
Mexico in June, at which time he

CAN COUNT A QUORUM.
Why Hill is Popular.

There are many democrats
throughout the West and South who
cannot understand the reason OF
David B. Hills power and popular
ity in New York. They speak of
it as a secret. They are amazed
that a man accused, and by thou
sands of his fellow citizens believed
to have been guilty, of betraying
Cleveland in 1888, is to be support
ed at the Chicago convention by a
delegation from his own state, in
Guiding General Sickles, a crippled
Union veteran; General Slocum,
another gallant soldier and demo-
crat; Roswell P. Flower, governor
of the state; Perry Belmont, Cleve-
lands minister to Spain; EXON
gresham Beebe; James H. Man
ming, son of Cleveland's first Secre-
tary of the Treasury; Samuel J.
Tilden, Jr., nephew of the great re-
ormer; George Rains, Secretary
of State when Cleveland was govern
or, and Frank Rice and Fred Cook,
both of whom have been secretaries
of state. The personnel of the del
egation, every member of which is
loyal in his devotion to Hill and to
Hills interests, is itself a rebuke to
the men who have decried Hills
methods.
If those democrats who have re-
garded Hills hold on the affections
and support of New York democrats
as something of a mystery will read
the speech delivered by the senator
at the Albany convention, and will
peruse his other public utterances,
they will understand the secret of
his power. Senator Hill is a demo-
crat. He believes that democrscy
is right and that republicanism is
wrong. When he discusses politi-
cal topics he does not minee his
words and he calls things by their
right names. He is plain-spoken
and he is fearless. He is an intelli-
gent leader and Il courageous fighter.
Whenever the opposition shows its
head he hits it. Other things being
equal, he thinks a democrat is a
trife better than a republican. He
never makes an apology for his party
or its principles, for he is ashamed
of neither. He may not be nomi-
mated for President. Indeed, the
Herald believes he will not be. But
his democracy is unquestioned and
it is that which gives him prestige
and popularity among the demo-
Gratis who have known him longest
and best.

Women Kill a Wildcat.

A highly exciting wildcat chase

was of gigantic proportions, was seen
about s o'clock in the morning by
Mrs. Gabriel Johnson and her two
daughters, and they Immediately set
three large %greyhounds on it. The
animal ran for some distance but
finally freed by the dogs and
one of the ladies summoned up the
courage to get double-barreled gun
and fire at the monster. Her bra
very vas repaid by the sight of the
animal falling from the tree at the
first report of the gun. The ladies

THE plan now under considera-
ton for re-distrieting the State into
congressional districts makes four
teen Democratic and one SURE Re-
publican district. 1t places Bland
and Heard in the same district, takes
Audrain out of the Seventh and
places her in the Second, taking the
place of Carroll, which is to be add
ed to the Third district. This makes
the Second district as follows:
Monroe, Audrain, Randolph,
Charlton, Linn, Sullivan, Grundy
and Livingston.
Mr.. Phelps, who appears to have
been the author of this plan, on be-
ing asked if changes could be made
without changing the entire plan, re-
piled:
Not well. Audrain County
might be taken from the Second and
added to the Seventh, which would
leave the Second with a population
of 100, 73S and plurality of 3,0s7,
and would give the Seventh a popu-
lation of 202, 7SS with a plurality o.

Taking Audrain out of the
Seventh, Galloway, Gasconade,
Usage, Cole, Moniteau and Miller
would be added in its place. This
would give Hon. R. IL. Norton The
