ENCOURAGING WORDS.

Upon the eighty-first birthday of
that "noble old Roman" Hon. Allen
G. Thurman, of Ohio, which occurred
on the 18th instant, the Thurman
Club adopted complimentary reso-
lutions and, together with a number
of distinguished visitors, called upon
this veteran of Democracy, who
referred with lament to the recent
defeat, but gave expression to words
of encouragement and of faith in the
ultimate triumph of the party that
sis founded on the fundamental
principles of the government of the
country in which it exists the
Democratic party. From the Cincin-
natl Enquirer's report of Mr.. Thur
mans address upon this occasion,
we extract the following:
Sometimes the Democratic party
has been crowned with victory and
then, again, it has gone down in de-
feat. The result this year looks to
me very bad-very bad, indeed. We
have been subjected to an extraordi.
nary defeat. However, it is not
alone in Ohio that our banner was
lowered, but from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and almost from the lakes to
the gulf. Indeed. itseems to me that
the whole world is being subjected to
a change. Even the Japs and the
Chinese are cutting each others
threats or each others pigtails.
But, my friends, l have seen some
very great changes in my life, and
am not disconnected by this one.
I'm 1916 we suffered a defeat that
was in the nature of an earthquake,
and was very much more OF defeat
than the one of this year. At that
time We simply busted off our shoes
and went to work again, and we
came out all right. l must say that
the result this year seems an earth
quake, too. Only two years ago we
carried everything, and a great
many thought we were going to do
SO again this year, but was SUSPECT
GUS. No one can tell what the har-
vest will be two years from now.
But in the end, my fellow Democrats,
we are cure to beat them. We are
sure to be victorious, because our
party is the party of free Institutions
81 may not be here when we are
again victorious, but let me tell you
that when party is founded on the
fundamental principles of the gov
eminent OF the country in which it
exists, that party is bound to live
and prosper as long as the govern
ment is maintained and sustained.
You have been in worse places than
you are now and came out glorious
ly, and you can come out gloriously
again. And now, my friends, God be
with you new and forever

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.

THE SENTINEL's Washington cor.
respondent has the following to say
upon the financial question, which
appears to be of paramount import
ance at this time:
There is a very pronounced dis
agreement between the President
and his Cabinet upon the method Of
solving the question what is the next
thing to be done to maintain the
public credit aud solve the financial
difficulty which face the government,
now that the Treasury is practically
in possession of it's coveted fifty
million dollars of gold which means
that relief from embarrassment of
the Government is in sight. The
question is now how to amend the
situation so as to provide against
the recurrence of the conditions ex.
listing at the time of this bond sale
so as to prevent the necessity of an
other issue of bonds and to place the
fiscal affairs of the Government upon
a permanent stable basis It is only
recently that some members of the
Presidents Cabinet have openly
advocated their own plan in opposi-
ton to the expressed opinions of the
President. 1t is believed quite uni.
yersally that the President will say
publicly one thing to Congress and
that some of his advisors will
privately advise an opposite course
The President is convinced that i'm
mediate and radical financial legisla-
ton is necessary. The dissenting
members of the Cabinet want to
postpone radical action for a while
during the effect of the Presidents
Remedial Legislation" 1t is the
belief of many Democrats that the
President is approaching closely to
lines of mono-mettalism and the
gold standard and that he has a
decided preference for the consuls of
eastern fnanciers over those of West
ern aud Southern party leaders.

O. the recent election has been tenn
porarily disastrous to the Democ.
racy in the Old North State. The
success of the opponents of Demo-
cratic principles was largely due, tits
conceded on all sides, to their splen-
didly organized forces.
What we have lost in this cam
paign we must largely regain in
1896. We can regain it, we will re-
gain it-but only by determined,
concentrated, organized efforts. Lit
is the purpose of this letter to sug
gest practical common-sense plan
by which this can be done.
The Democrats are now possessed
of a fine organization of Democratic
Clubs throughout the State, but the
work OF these clubs has been chiefly
confined to the heat of the active
campaign, supported and energized
by the enthusiasm in the rush tor the
goal, when it's remnants were almost
in sight. Such spasmodic efforts, no
matter who are its champions, will
sooner or later, invite defeat, as we
have only SO recently had occasion
to learn. Now, why cannot these
clubs, who have done much valiant
work in past campaigns. organize
now for a campaign that will not
end until victory again crowns our
banners in '96!
Let each county have its club COM
posed of it's most ardent, active and
progressive Democrats, say from
each township. The representatives
of each township should then organ
ize a township club, working with
and through the county club, IN
harmony with central State head
quarters. Where advisable, and
especially if thickly populated, town
ships might be further sub-divided
along the same lines. When thor
oughly organized in this way the
different bodies could ascertain by
an active canvass, who in these re-
spective communities were doubtful,
who apathetic, who had been induced
by plausible sophistry to ally them
selves with the opposing parties.
Such a list, varied in detail to suit
the particular locality, once made
out would be of inestimable value.
Members of the clubs should have
assigned to them from this list voters
whom they could most easily and
successfully deal with, and it should
be each individual members duty to
see to it that the voters for whom he
was responsible were kept supplied
with such literature, and brought In
contact with such Democratic inf1u-
ences as would be most conducive to
the end sought: namely, Democracy
success in '96.
A campaign organized now on the
general lines suggested, and perfected
as to Diet all to suit the communities
and localities it should thoroughly
ramify and kept up day in and day
out, week in and week out from now
until November '96, cannot prove
other than successful.
This idea becomes more forceful, If
we accept the estimate of a COM
petent government statistician, who
computed that there were 5000, 900
Democratic voters who stayed away
from the polls at the November
election this wear.

Methodist church, Rev. P. j. Cara,
way, who has been Presiding Elder
of this District Tor the past four
years, will be transferred to another
field of labor by the Bishop of the

the harvest OF our labor. Aud when
we see the heaps of corn begin to
grow large in the crib, the yellow
pumpkins packed away in the shurk

A s. Id Will.
From the Florida Times-Union

From the Florida Times Union.
One of the queer documents in the
office of the county judge is a will on
a piece of implanted plank, five feet
long and enc foot wide. The plank
was sawed out of the house of Mrs.
Arnold, living a short distance from
the city. 1t was part of the wall.
On a bed by the wall a man named
John M. O'Brien, whom Mrs. Arnold
betriended, died, but before he died
he wrote on the plank, in pencil,
these words:
Mrs. Arnold, God bless her! shall
have all | leave.'
He left $500. Tie will is probably
the most unhandy document to file
in all of Duval county.

To Save Sweet Potatoes

From the Rural World
For several years past have eaten
sweet potatoes late in May that were
as sound and eatable as they were in
November, when they had been put
away or dug from the earth The
person who put them up showed me
how. Use dry forest leaves, put a
la yer of leaves, then of potatoes
selected as perfectly sound, then "a
layer of leaves, then of potatoes
The leaves should be perfectly dry
and crisp. L have heard Others
praise the method. fit is always as
successful as ia the case within nv
experience no one could ask a hetter
or cheaper method, or one of less
trouble. However, | should add
that the potatoes must not touch
each other, and that in the case
above mentioned they were kept in
boxes in garnet through which a
brick chimney passed, and the
warmth from it must have prevented
the temperature from falling ielow
freezing in our coolest weather. |
am told also by persons who have
kept sweet potatoes in dry sand,
carefully separated from each other
and in layers, that their success has
been perfect. When using forest
leaves be sure to have them perfectly

The newly elected Mayor of New
York intimates that it would be wis g
to put a woman at the head of the
street cleaning department of that
city. He said he did not know that
such an appointment would bepopu-
lar, but, he added, 81 know one
thing, that all of US are indebted to
our wives and mothers for clean
homes, and / don't know any class
of persons that would be so likely to
clean our streets thoroughly and
cheaply as a woman at the head of
the department" 1t is a generally
accepted theory that a woman
knows how to handle broom and
the new mayors idea may prove
very effective if carried out.
