The Duty of Democrats.

Tomorrow the people of the nation
will be called on to exercise one of the
greatest duties of American citizen
ship. They will be called on to de-
eide at the ballot box IA question
which has q direct bearing on the
prosperity OF the entire country.
There are two contending political
factions warning for the reins Of gov
ernment. One OF these factions Is
welded to the old Hamiltonian doc
trine, that the people belong to the
government, while the other clings
to the. Jeffersonian idea, which Is di-
ametrically opposed to the former
idea. In other words, it is a fight
between Republicans and Democrats.
The LEAF CHRONICLE is Democratic
to the core, from date line to foot
slug, and therefore has devoted col
umn after column its space during
the campaign in an attempt to tell
the people why it is to their Interest
to vote the Democratic ticket in this
contest from Cleveland to Dunbar
We feel that whit we have said has
borne fruit that will tell at the ballot
boxes in the various districts OF the
county tomorrow. The position
we have occupied in the campaign
is one that we believe to be the best
interest Of the people Of this coun-
try many good men take issue with
us on the questions involved, a right
which belongs to every American
citizen. We believe that the princi.
pies that are advocated by the Demo
cratic party are the true ones, there
fore we think it the duty OF every
man TO vote the Democratic ticket
1t is useless to 60 into the various
reasons why this should be done.
They have been stated time after
time in these columns, and with one
more admonition we leave the mat
ter with you. Go to the polls to-
morrow and vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. Be watchful, be firm.
There are many enemies of Democ-
racy at work and they are unscrupu
lous. They will resort to anything
to carry their candidates through, and
Democrats should watch their every
movement. The LEAF-CHRoNICLE
believes that great victory has been
won for Democracy in the national
contest, therefore do not allow a local
defeat to cast a shadow over the
same. Be at the polls early, stay un-
til they close and work all the time.

them and strove to tear off the coffin lid
with my fingers. They called for help, but
all the men In Richmond could not have
held me back ripped that coffin lid to
splinters, dragged the young lady from it
and rushed into the open air with her. The
people were too much Mortified to follow
me instantly, They called in the police to

young lady had her arms around my neck,

Sam Jones

The LEAF CHRONICLE welcomes
this distinguished evangelist to
GAINESVILLE, and trusts int his labors
here may result in the saving OF
many souls and the srngthPuing OF
every church in the city We have
the highest regarl for Mr.. Jones as q
man Of God, and believe the world
has been made better by his having
been in it. His name Is n household
word In both the new and old world,
and his work in the field of evangel-
ism stands out more prominently
than that of any evangelist OF modern
times, consequently there is sou.e-
thing very remarkable about the
man: "Sam Jones" will be the talk
in GAINESVILLE now for weeks to
come, and the critics will keep them
selves busy dissecting him. Every
man will have his own: particular
idea OF the evangelist, and will ex-
press it freely when not in hearing
distance of him. His meeting starts
out with fiatterlng prospects and will,
no doubt, be a successful one. One
thing is certain, people will go to
near hear him, and whether they
heed him or not they will be told OF
their sins in very plain English.
Many will get mad, but this is very
foolish piece of business. The best
thing to do is to take your medicine
like man.

Consumption is believed to be more prev
alent in Ireland than in either England or
Wales. Four times more Irishmen reside
in the United States than Englishmen. 1t
is more difficult to believe the statement
that 10000 people In the Emerald Isle speak
Irish only, or another, that there are 10000
mud cabins in that country consisting of
but a single room. Yet this is the country
in which we are told suicide is less preva-
lent than in any other-which speaks vol

at is sad enough to contemplate fallen
greatness in any form, but the decline of a
great intellect is perhaps the saddest," says
an English correspondent, writing of Ten
nyson's decay just before his death. at may
be accepted that the hour of intellectual
labor is over for Lord Tennyson. 1t is now
his turn to lie still and be taken care of
like child When the sun shines he is
carried out and laid in bright spot upon
a carpet, cnveloped in rugs and shawls.
Here he sleeps and reads The object of
all his interest is the heir, his baby grand
son. Where this small great parsonage is
concerned nothing can be done without
consulting him. He must inspect and
choose feeding bottles and hoods, and SUI
perintend all his daughter-in-law's mater
nal cares. Lord Tennyson, in fact, seems
to have reached time of life when it is a
relief to be taken out of ones self, and when
placid unstriving meditation and simple
family interests are the limits of possibility
as they are the alleviators of pain. 1t Is
sad, but inevitable"
