In Memoriam.
"The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And, life's long warfare closed at last,

ne pains OF uoaJn are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And, life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace"
At 2O'clock, on the morning of the 9th of
August, 1892, Mr.. T. G. FLEMING quietly en-
tered into rest; aged 81 years, months and 10
days. He was for years faithful member of
Fillmore church, and though aged and feeble;
and living eight miles away, rarely ever failed
to be present at the monthly service A few
months before his death he lost his eye-sight
But he bore this cross bravely. His last illness
was protracted, and he seemed to feel that the
end was near, and so prepared for his "Home
above He was truly good man. and bore
his affections in life with strong Christian for
titude, and has gone now to reap his golden
reward. He leaves daughter and several
grandchildren. To them we offer our heart
felt sympathies, and hope they may realize
that by-and-by "GOd shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes, and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more PAIN"
Soldier of Christ, we'll done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run
Rest in thy Savior's joy"
A FRIEND.

Mr.. Blanchard's Speech.

" attended Democratic mass meeting
Held in this place yesterday, which
was addressed by our able and popu-
hr Congressman, Hon. Newton G.
Blanchard. DR.. c. Fl. Irion was elect
ed Chairman and Capt. B. r. Nash
Secretary of the meeting.
Chairman Irion, in appropriate
words. presented Mr.. Blanchard, who
was greeted with loud applause. The
speaker referred to his great pleas
ure at being among thepeople of Bos-
sier and spoke of the hospitality of
the people and their devotion to the
principles of true Democracy. The
speaker referred to his services in
Congress, and challenged any one to
point out any omission OF duty to his
constituents while he has been their
National Representative, and claimed,
as all must admit who know his faith
ful record, that he had been true to
every trust, and, with his many years
experience in Congress, was now ten
times better able to serve his people
than he was when first elected.
The Republican party, said MIR.
Blanchard, was for high protection
high tariff-the protection of the few
at the expense of the many. The
Democratic party favored all alike.
They were in favor Of the greatest
good to the greatest number, and
not the protection of millionaires.
MIR. Blanchard, after q lucid dis
cussion of the tariff, next took up
the Force Bill, which still threatens
the peace and prosperity of the
Southern States. He called upon
those who proposed to vote the
Third party ticket to pause and
think, and appealed to their patriot
ism and fidelity to the land of their
birth, to remain true to the party
that has so long proven a barrier to
Radical aggression. If the Force Bill
was passed we would be disfranchis-
ed and oppressed. The Republican
party is pledged to it. President
Harrison will, if elected and it is pass
ed, see that it is enforced. They will
then retain power forever.
The speaker referred to the infa-
NOUS pension system. It now
amounts to s15O,OOO,OOO per annum.
He declared Weaver was one of
the worst political demagogues he
had ever seen. Weaver was always
ready to join any party or do any
thing to elevate Weaver. Mr.. Blan-
chard called attention to and read
extracts from speaches made by Gen.
Weaver in 1867, 1868 and even as
late as 1886, in which he had bitterly
denounced and vilifed the Demo-
cratic party In 1880 he ran for
President on the Greenback ticket.
His eheckered career continued till
he beeamea q Democrat and was elect.
ed TO- the 4sth Congress. After
wards he went into the Alliance and
from that to the Third party. He
said every vote cast for Weaver,
whether so intended or not by the
voter, was indirectly vote for Har-
rison-did Weaver no good, weaken
ed Cleveland and helped Harrison.
he declared that every day the
Third party was growing smaller in
this Congressional District. Con-
slant appeals had been made to the
er1ing brothers, and a great majority
would return 10 their first love and
march to the polls with US in Novem-
Der.
Mr.. Blanchard's speech was an
eloquent, masterly and unanswerable
arraignment of the Republican and
Third parties, and we regret q bat we
cannot give a more extended notice
of it.
