The Third party advocates are max

the South. In recent issue Of the
official organ of that party in South
Carolina, editor Dunning, says: "Men
have either got to come out Of the
Democratic party or fight us. The

and as to that | have to say-If the
Southern Democrats keep up the
frauds in the black countries that they

-Four years ago the National Re
publican Committee intuitively real
lied the tremendous weight of the
business element as a factor in the
campaign, as well as the fact that the
sympathy of this element was natur-
ally with the Republican party.
They therefore resolved to make this
sympathy active instead of merely
passive to secure the benefit Of its
organized influence instead of resting
content with its fortuitous and spo-
radio support. With this purpose in
view the advisory committee Of the
National Republican Committee was
composed solely of men selected for
their high business and personal char,
acter, and their influence and promi-
nehce in their respective localities.
In pursuance of this plan a body Of
men was brought together composed
Of the very flower of the business
men Of the principal cities of the
country, and our present efficient
Postmaster General was chosen as its
chairman. The work undertaken and
performed by this committee unques
tionably contributed largely to the
splendid triumph Of the Republican
party at that time, and it was work
Of a solely legitimate and honorable
character. The gentlemen of tina

The Republicans Of Delaware will
greatly lessen their chances of carry
ing the State in November next,
unless they wake up. Untiring ac-
tivity, constant watchfulness, intelli-
gent reading and plenty Of it, are the
essentials to success in this campaign.
Our leaders in both Nation and
State are working like beavers to
drift Delaware from its Democratic
moorings, but we cannot expect 70 ac
complish this unless every Republican
takes a hand.
One of the most effective ways tc
reach this desired end is to
Organize.
Organize at once.
Organize a club in every neighbor

Make the club the weekly resort o
your people, where they can meet to
gether, consult, learn and keep them

Make it pleasant that all will wal

WASHINGTON, Sept 20.--Thc illum-
ination in the streets Of Washington
during the time that the members Of
the Grand Army are in the city are
unique, and excel anything ever seen
in this part of the country. There
are large number of what are called
universal signs on which are the
names Of the great battles and of the
generals who lead the Union hosts TO
victory. These are grouped about
the various corps badges, the battles
and names OF generals being associated
as nearly as possible with the corps
with which they were identified. Of
course, these names and badges are
produced by the electric lights, thous-
ands of incandescent lamps being en-
ployed in doing so. A design that is
of special interest is erected at the
head Of Fifteenth street at the en-
trance.to the White lot. 1t is huge

eighteen feet high. This badge is
made up Of incandescent lamps, Of the
various colors that 60 to make up the

a good time to discuss the question of
providing last tribute in stone and

who compose the army, and whose

While there is nothing in the late
reports from Loon Lake to indicate
that Mrs. Harrison is making any
substantial progress towards recovery,
it is encouraging TO learn that her
symptoms are more favorable, and it
is needless to say that the hope Of her
restoration to health is universal. The
whole country feels an interest in this
matter, partaking more or less of a
personal character, for the reason that
all our citizens, without regard to pol
itics or party bias, feel an immediate
and loyal interest in whatever effects

Presidents household, even though
they may be strangers to both
Whether the President will he able
TO visit the Capital during the EN-
campment week depends, of course
upon Mrs. Harrison's condition. Earn

that Mrs. Harrison is anxious to l.

We place before you to-day for your
approval or condemnation the ODESSA
LEADER.
For almost four years the Odessa
Herald was weekly visitor to your
homes and your Preside, but the
Odessa Herald has now given way to
the ODESSA LEADER. Under the
new management of things it was
considered advisable to give the paper
new name that it might not conflict
with any other paper of similar name
in the county and for this reason we
have substituted the name of the
LEADER for that of the Herald; and
start new series with this number,
The Herald's friends are asked to
continue their patronage as heretofore.
We trust our readers will appre-
ciate the improvements we have made
in the general appearance and style of
the paper.
Coming among you u stranger, we
have had to depend solely on oul
friends for what you will find in our
local columns, and trust that oui
readers will not be too hasty in form
ing an adverse opinion of our merits
The LEADERS mission, as wal
that of its predecessor, will be to ad
vance the interests of Odessa and he
citizens by every honorable means
and to promulgate the principles o
the Republican party.
We desire it to be understood, how
ever, that so far as 10 cal politics ar
concerned, the LEADER shall hol

A class of persons who have suffered
greatly by reason Of the bomb throwing
tragedy have hitherto escaped the notice
of the press. Mr.. Sage was doing a
large business IN options or puts and
calls, spreads and straddles. He was
not SO greatly absorbed in this speciality
as he was in 1888. He was caught in
the panic of that year and lost good
many hundred thousand dollars, and
since then has been more conservative
than he was before. Still, this business
has amounted to good many thousand
dollars some days and has afforded a
number of men an opportunity of get
ting a living.
These men are typical Wall street
creatures. You see them hustling here
and there, buttonholing men and whis-
pering in their ears. They are tireless-
They know everybody who is likely to
take little fier. Sometimes as many
as score or more of them used to go to
Russell Sage every day and ask him
what he would charge for options on va
rious stocks and securities. Having got
Sage's terms, they secured the streets,
processing to give tips, and in the course
of week would bring in many Gus
toners to Sage. Their usual commission
was one-eighth of per cent, and the
smartest of them could make from ten
to twenty dollars day.
They brought Sage great deal OF
business first and last. But these men
have been sad eyed enough since the ex-
plosion. This part of Sage's business
life is ended as much as though he had
been killed on that day, and it is a seri-
ous question whether he will ever re-
sumo it. This has thrown these scouts
and commission agents upon their up

He Locates Oil Wells in His Dreams.
Butler county has an "oil smeller"
who can give points to persons who
bring cut the power of the hazel rod.
Some months ago Cunningham & Co.
were drilling a well on the farm of Ira
Stauffer. One night while the well was
drilling Casper Keichner, a crippled jew
eler of Zelienople, dreamed that the well
was dry, and in the same vision he saw
a spot on the farm of John Shriver,
near the Stauffer farm, where a well
was flowing 1000 barrels per day.
Keichner related his dream to Cum
ningham g Co., but smile was all he
got for his trouble. When the well on
the Stauffer farm was completed it was
a first class duster. In their adversely
the owners of the well went to Keichner
and asked him to show them the spot on
the Shriver farm where in his dream he
had seen the coveted 1000 barrel well.
He accompanied them to the place and
a we'll was started on the spot. A few
weeks ago the pay streak was reached,
the well actually flowed 1000 barrels a
day and the place is the richest oil farm
in Butler county today.-Pittsburg Cor

Two Historic Ships.

! Out in the bay stands the "dear old
Hartford" and by her side the heroic
Nipsic. It is to be hoped that both these
historic ships may soon be repaired. All
the world associates the Hartford with
the exploits at Mobile bay, but besides
this interesting fact she is one of the
few remaining and one of the most
beautiful of her type. Hers is indeed
heart of oak. She is not "dead, "as an
old sailor lately said with a sigh. She
only sleeps.
The Nipsic is still stanch and sound.
