A Bristol, Tennessee, dispatch tells
of the tragic end of a very wicked
wife. She burned up her husband
| and child in order to elOpe with an
| Illicit lover. She and her lover were
attacked by a mad bull, aud both
were gOred to death. The story is
! doubtless true, and if the facts were
| known, it would be found hat the
| bull was a subscriber to SIack's Bris-

Since the Democratic party nOmi-
mated and elected Buchanan, Cover
nor, he went to OcaIa as a delegate Of
| the Alliance party and participated
| in the deliberations of that partisan
convention, and voted for a set of pO-
| litical principles called the Ocala de-
mands which are directly antagonis-
| tic to Democratic doctrine. Does not

out OF the Democratic party Cooke

Now that Gov. Buchanan has de-
| clared himself in favor of the Ocala
demands, the next thing for him to
| do is to join the third party, for it is
! the only party that endorses such de-
mands. 1t is impossible to be a
| Democrat and endorse class legisla-
ton. Ocaiaism is Numerically OPP
posed TO the principles of Democracy.
