Exercises.
A MEMORABLE SCENE IN MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN.
ovAr1oNs TO THE TWO LEADERS.

MIR. Cleveland and Mr.. Stevenson Officially
Informed of the Action of the Chicago
Convention Address OF Chairman WILL
son and Response of MIR. CIeveland-An-
swer of Mr.. Stevenson to the Notification
Speech of Mr.. White - Mrs. Cleveland
Also Comes in for a Share of the Hon
ors Reception at the Manhattan Club.
New YORK, July 21.-The first de-
cisive gun of the Democratic campaign of
1892 was touched off last night in Madi-
son Square Garden in the presence of a
vast assemblage. The huge auditorium
was packed from pit to dome, and, as the
place holds 10000 persons comfortably, it
is estimated that almost twice that num-
Der were present.
The occasion that brought this vast
throng together was the notification cere-
monies of the two leaders of the
Democratic party-Grover Cleveland and
Adlai E. Stevenson.
AS early as o'clock the crowd began
gathering about the doors, and at 7:30 p.
m, when they were finally opened, the
streets about the Garden were filled with
a pus ling, struggling, perspiring mob,
the roaring sound of cataract. Never
had the Garden held such crowd nor
more enthusiasm been displayed. The
space room was economical to the utmost
degree, the enthusiastic Democrats stand
ing, after the seats were filled, in lines SO
dense that breathing became difficult.
The Garden was profusely decorated
with flags and bunting, the colors of which
were brought into strong relief by the bril-
liant light from 9, 1000 electric lamps. This,
with the sea of bobbing heads and upturn-
ed faces, presented memorable scene and
one never to be forgotten. Previous to
the exercises Cappa's band discoursed
strains of sweet music to which the huge,
perspiring crowd listened in a philosophi-
cal manner, at the same time endeavoring
to keep cool by swinging fans and hand
kerchiefs.
The platform was placed at the Fourth
avenue end of the building. Over it was
an immense sounding board. In the cen
tire of this We're two national flags placed
transwise, and over these, written in in
candescent lamps, were the words "Cleve-
land and Stevenson"
The platform had seating capacity for
$50 persons, but it had a thousand on it
before the central figures, in one of the

ana eyes appraised. Then, when the
whirling eddies hid the rider from his
sight, that bold rider, that reckless sol
der, that traitor Virginian, fell upon
his knees and dropped his face in his
clasped hands.
Soon he rose, with gesture of defiance
to the now clear-sounding arms, turned
into the denser woods and strobe rapid
ly away.
Five minutes later the relief reached
the extra post at the hut. No sentry
challenged; and the lank New England
sergeant, advancing warily, stumbled
over the PROSTATE trooper, conscious,
but sick and dizzy.
Calling the relief to advance, the SER
geant raised the supposed offender as
he muttered to himself:
Cant blame him much! Might my
self, such a nasty night. But where in
'tarnal thunder did he git the rum?
Phew! Chloroform!''

The mans tone had changed from
respectful, he yet spoke in voice OF
with a sense of power.
He held out his hand. Without hest.
tation she placed her foot in it, and was
lifted lightly to saddle, the reins easy
in her firm grasp, her foot in the
thoughtfully shortened stirrup.
Then the man barred his head in the
binding, driving snow, speaking with
quiet Difference her lover lords had
never used to Britain's virgin queen:
"You understand, Miss Clay; let Gus
ter go his own way until you strike
Scruggs'. Then the left fork and Ros-
ser's advance" He paused, listening
intently. "No time to lose: hear dis
tant change Of arms. The relief is out.
God speed you and save-your boyY'
The woman sat motionless, wordless,
as though she were in a dream and
feared to wake and find it SO. Suddenly
she broke down, with great effort hall
| SODDlnS:
"Oh! I-should-thank- Oh! if"
| "Hush!" he answered, softly, but with
a great tremor in his voice; and his
hand, involuntarily stretched towards
her, changed its direction and strolzec
caressingly the tense, wet neck of the
horse, that rubbed its muzzle softly OF
his shoulder.
Then he turned away,-hesitated,-
spoke:
"God! girl, do not tempt me-ever

The woman's bosom rose and fell;
words rushing to her lips died upon
them; she heard her own heart beating
thunderous in her throat.
"Come! For the sake of all dear to

the man pleaded. "Vile, despicable as

The sob so close to Carolyn Clay's
CLEANED in the deep eyes of the traitor
Virginian; and again-with observation
piteous in its meeLness-he held out his
hand.
With bowed head, but quick gesture

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. g, 1891.
 To the Editor of the Forrest City Times:
 suppose you have heard of my ac- cident at Palestine? Thought perhaps your correspondent there might have given you the particulars. It was just after dark, on Monday evening, that started to cross the long trestle at that place. and not hearing or seeing any sign of danger, proceeded leisurely along for some two or three hundred yards, when heard a rumbling sound, and on looking up saw the headlight of an engine fast approaching. What to do in my dire necessity 1 knew not. To stay on lhe bridge was death; to jump l might have chance. saw what seemed @ projection beyond the ties--a cap, believe, it is called. l re- solved to risk a place upon it-and stepped into space. Down, down, down-oh! the horror of tlios. four seconds, l crashed into some old logs. stumps and debris generally and was doubled into heap. not having the power to move for some minutes. In tho meantime the train tbundercd on over me, without whistle or warning of any kind. There was nothing ] could do but call for help. Bnt, alas. no help came. All that horrible night, with the ram pelting me in the face, and yarmints of some kind proving around me. lay in my agony. What my thoughts were few can imagine. With my thigh crushed from near the knee to the hip on the t...side, and my left leg below the knee so badly hurt that could not even turn over, 1 waited. Finally was discovered, and about 9:30 Tuesday was lsent on a handcar to the depot, where l was as kindly cared for as circumstances would permit. was then shipped to Little Rock, where. flat of my back and encased in an arinor of plaster of paris, 1 am writing this sqrib. My thigh was sot by one of the finest young surgeons I ever saw-Dr. St. John, surgeon and physician for the Missouri Pacific railroad, to whom your humble servant probably owes his life. Respectfully,

and West-and should be made a manufacturing as well as an agrlcul- tural town, and in my judgrRent,th is nothing'that would be more condu- cive to the growth of the town and prosperity of the country than good cotton mill plant, q canning, factory, and hub, spoke and handle factory. The raw material for,the cotton mill is produced right at the doors of the mills and can be purchaseds direct from .the producer, either in the seed or lint, thereby saving all commissions and transportations. The'climate and soil of the country. is almost unsur- passed for growing everything neces- sary for supplying the canning factory, and the country abounds with an in- exiiaustible supply of the finest timber in the world for the hub, spoke and handle factory-and at a nominal cost. With these factories ill operation, and the facilities of the country for sup plying and operating them, my hum ble judgement is, Forrest City,,would in five years double her population and business.
 1 have has,ily'made ,the foregoing suggestions, believing Lthem to be feasible and practicable and that you, or some abler pen than mine, may en- large and elaborate upon them, pro- vided you deem them of sufficient inn poitance 10, give thems any thought; otherwise let them go to the waste basket, where probably they should go.

 Can't you enlist few more county correspondents You ought to have at least two or more from every town ship, and one from every village and business point in the county. Then you would have one of the best papers in the state.
 I am glad to learn that quite num- Der of handsome and substantial build ings, both business and dwelling houses, have been erected in your town during the year; also many other valuable and needed improvements have been made-all largely owing to the strong advocacy and timely appeals of TIE FORREST CITY TIMEs-a paper that should be in every household in the county. It is an upper case'' democratic paper. Its democracy is all wool and yard wide, and is opposed to the SO called alliance sub-treasury scheme and Third party movement and in favor of Fishback for governor. Hence all true democrats should pat roniZe it.

hclcnn Mcrm
 During the contest for the speaker ship of the house, the World sided with no particular candidate. This paper after a careful review of the situation came to the conclusion that it would be to the best interests of the party and the country, for these in terests are inseparable, to elect d Northern democract to this position. If this course were not considered the best, then the World WAS for MT. Mills in preference to any of the Southern candidates. The election WAS held and Mr. Crisp of Georgia was the winner. No one will question the right of NIT. Crisp to make this race, and the World was not among those who made war upon him simply be- cause he opposed Mir. Mills in this race. Mir. Crisp was elected, and the democracy of the country thought they had q man in that position who was qualified in all respects to fill it with ability and credit. Credit to himself and credit to the great politi- cal party he represented. Events that have transpired since the election If MT. Crisp show conclusiyely that
 s democracy has made mistake,
 that he is not the man for the
 lee. One of his first official acts
 Foves that no matter how much of q Gentleman he may be in private life. he is not a gentleman in politics. The of Springer as chairman of the committee on ways and means shows that his election 10 his present position is the direct result of intrigue, and chicanery, and gives an intimation, and a plain one, Of what we may expect from him in the future. Crisp had chance, such q chance ss is offered to but few men, of riding into the first place in the af- fections of the people, but he would not embrace it and his action in this matter places him in position where it may trnly be said, he is ''unhonored unsung." Why did he insult MT. Mills with the offer of the second place on the ways and means con- mittee? No one knows but Crisp himself. When Mir Crisp was called to the exalted posiotion he occupies, the World was prepared to give him it's support, but when he has shown, and shown so conclusively, his utter in ability to fill his exalted station with dignity and with proper deference to the leading men of his party, we can not accord him even small degree of respect. Mir Crisp has proven him self inferior tpolitically) to the cheap est Bowery bum of New York.

 If the government could issue free silver dollars directly to the people. and if such dollars should be issued until they are knee-deep the country over they would, under our vicious taxing system, soon pass out of the possession of the many and into the hands of the few. While the high protective tariff system prevails the free coinage of silver affords no remedy for the evils under which this country is suffering.n
