Tho screams of the women attrac ted

One Ringing Voice For Free Speech In the

WITH Faint Prniae2

From the Louisville (Ky.) Courier Journal.
While there is nothing sensational,
startling or even new in this lat st ex.
position of the views of q man who has
been so conspicuously and so constantly
before the public as to make his person
atty and opinions familiar to all men,
the general tone and tenor OF the letter
are vote catching, and it may be &C.
cepted with considerable assurance by
Democrats as, on the whole, about as
strong presentation of the case as
could be expected or desired.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

Another week like tho last seven
days and the election Of the Democratic
national ticket is foregone conclu-
sion. 1t has been signallized by the
detection from the Republican ranks Of
Wayne McVeigh and Walter Q. Ores
ham. two former cabinet officers, and
Judge Thomas M. Cooley, oae Of tho
profoundest jurists and constitutional
lawyers of the country. 1t has been
further marked by overwhelming DEM
ocratic victories in Florida and Georgia.
The latter State yesterday rolled up a
good $4,000 majority for the Democratic
ticket over the Third party supported
by the Republican leaders.
There is but one weak spot to-day in
the Southern alignment and that is in
West Virginia, where formidable efforts
are being made to shake Its s.eadfast
Democratic alliance.
The Washington Post, the ablest and
best informed independent paper in the
country, places Now Ham pshire in the
doubtful column, and private advices
give that State to the Democracy by a
safe plurality 1t is singular that New
Hampshire, Massachusetts. Rhode Island
and Connect icut, States where, if any
where, protection should have its
stauncesht supporters, are either Demo.
cratic or are rapidly becoming so.
Possibly those States are coming to
the conclusion that their Infant indus
tries' have st last actually fulfilled the
predictions of the early protectionists
and become strong enough to compete
with foreign manufacturers in the mar.
kets OF the world. 1t SHOULD be so and
undoubtedly is by this time, in many
lines.
In the far West the Democrats are
playing the political game with singu-
lar amount of shrowdness. And let it
here be noted for the enlightenment of
extreme partisans that the Third party
in the West is hooted at by the Repub-
licans as q Democratic sideshow. 1t
makes big difference whose OK is
gored. Out there in States which are
hopeless to the Democracy the Demo
cratic electoral tickets are being with
drawn and the rank and file Of the party
arc urged to support the Third party
electoral tickets, in hopes Of snatching
Republican electoral votes from Harri-
son and Reid. There is reasonable
hope of success for this schem in Kan.
sas, Nebraska and the Dakotas and
strong probability OF success for this
scheme in Colorado, Nevada and Idaho.
It is, moreover, done with tho tacit ap.
proval of the Democratic national com.
mittee.
A prominent Iowa Republican is
credited with having said in Washing.
ton last week that the Democrats had
carried that State twice in succession
and were not losing any votes this fall.
But it will not do to be too sanguine.
The Republican leaders do not seem at
all disturbed. AS usual they have
plenty of money, while the Democratic
committee labors under the poverty
which has attached to that interesting
body in every campaign for the past
twelve years.

PRESS COMMENTS.

A Few Republicans Who Do Not 1.-Two Up
to tho Tenets of the Party.
From the brunswick tGa.) Times.
President Harrison gets his whiskey
from Scotland, Mr.. Depew his clothes
from London, the Vanderbilts and Astors
and other fervid protectionists thoir
yachts. ooachmen and crests from Eng
land. Thus do these Republicans foster
home industry.
In Tennessee Third Party Men are Called
Guerillas.
From tho Nashville (Tenn) American.
In the present campaign is no room
for guerillas or free lance politicians
and voters. He who is not for Democ-
racy is against it. There is no half way
or neutral ground in these Southern
States, and opposition to Democracy
means an anti white mans government.
The white men South must be for or
against negro domination; they must
be for or against the party fighting the
Democratic party. Come out into the
open. Be Democrats or be Republicans.
Don't hide behind subterfuge and try
to be all things to all men.
Call 1t a Stand-oT Between the Allitera-
tive Phrase Makers.
From the Sioux City Qowa) Tribune
Harrison's attempt to make an allit-
erative campaign cry OF Democracy
and Destruction" seems to have fallen
fiat simply because it was out OF seeing
distance OF truth. Mr.. Cleveland's four
years OF able and economical admins.

to reiterate it. Mr.. Cleveland is too

Sizing of the Proportions of the Republi-
can Doodle.
From the Buffalo IN. " Courier
1t is the common talk that the Re-
publican managers have fixed 81 900,
600 as the amount needed to carry New
York for Harrison. 1t is prudent that
the Democrats should assume that this
amount will be raised for use as q
Doodle fund in this State. The McKin-
leyites doubtless feel that their only
hope Of carrying Now York lies in q
supreme attempt to buy it. II money

managers are determined to make
desperate effort to have them. This is
the meaning of the keep a-secret" cam
paign. There is now every appearance.
however, that the tide in favor OF the

strong that 1T cannot be overcome by

One Ringing Voice For Free Speech In the
Southern States.
From the San Antonio (Tcx as) Express.
Weaver is a political turncoat, was at
one time bitter enemy of tho South
and is at present advocating policies
whose accomplishment would BIO a nat.
ional catastrophe, but at the same time
he is the regular nominee of a great
political organization and is as much
entitled to hearing as Grover Cleve-
land or Benjamin Harrison. Prompt and
full punishment of the offenders is the
only way in which Georgia can clear
itself OF the stain of rowdyism and cow

The Normal College Certain ~.

1
In accordance with the call for a
mass meeting Monday evening at the
court house small but interested num-
Der of prominent citizens assembled
and j. A. Overholtzer was called to the
chair by vote of those present. A
statement was called for by the chair,
that an exact understanding might be
had so that the people could act intelli-
gently in regard to the Normal school.
DIR. II. T.. Harris made q brief response
which was followed by a recital in de-
tail by Prof. Geo. Il. Moore. Briefly:
The school is an institution for the ben
eft of Audubon county and vicinity.
1t is not expected to draw from any ex-
tended territory 1t is school for the
benefit of the young men and women
in our midst who must either do with
out higher education or leave home and
attend schools in other places. The
former alternative we cannot permit,
the latter we do not desire. First, be-
cause we expend useless amounts Of
money in sending them away; they lose
home influence, home training, home
associations; their families lose proper
influence over their children; cannot
know of their associations, how and
where they spend their time, how they
improve their time and opportunities,
under what sort of instruction they are
placed; added to this is the impossible
lty of every young man or woman who
desires higher education, obtaining it
when such expense is connected. Alta
home school railroad expenses are lack.
| ing and he or she who would attend for
one term can do so ut very low rate
If expense is lessened then take up
| work ut its close with no feeling of re-
greet for unnecessary outlay of money.
The young people Of Audubon county,
are ready for the school and unsolicited
have offered to attend. Can we afford
to say to them, no, we cannot furnish
you SCHOOL, Such is the feeling Of
the people OF Audubon and vicinity,
that the school must be established.
This truth was made most forcible
when Mt call from the chair seven
men arose Offering seven hundred dol.
lars to the rent of the Park hotel for n
term of three years. The proposition
reads thus:
| ave the undersigned agree to pay
the amount set opposite our names for
the purpose of paying the rent of the
Park hotel, for a period of three years
in which 60 run Normal school. 10
pay the amounts quarterly in advance
in proportion to the total amount of
rent, Providing sufficient amount is
raised to pay the rent for said three
years. The signers as far as known up

Young Bros. q Cos circus which ex.
hibited here Tuesday was good
twenty-five cent show. 1t should be
stated that a twenty-five cent show
isn't satisfying and therefore engenders
adverse criticism. The show was robbed
of its glamor by the fact that local liv-
cry horses appeared in the parade, and
the band was uniformed in borrowed
linen busters. The inside, too, was a
rank realism, and many of the au-
dience occupied seats made of fencing
which had never been planned. This
unplained fencing isn't a first class seat
but the agony was forgotten in the
worse points made by the clown. The
same clown was here with Golfers
Minstrels two years ago, and hasn't i'm
proved, Then the band that could play
Boom de-ray and other popular songs.
1t was a great twenty-five cent show
one of the best twenty-five cents shows
on the road, but as before remarked not
altogether satisfying, It's really a thirty
cent show.
