have no idea that Mr.. Buchanan
knows anything of the letter being
sent in, as he could not hope for
a letter of that kind to help him in
a primary election, Democrats
should vote for Buchanan or
Crook uninhuenced by the letter;
they have both submitted their
names to n democratic primary,

wild cal" tickets with only dis uand
endorsed thereon, al blanks for other
names.
That no mistake may arise as to
the meaning Of the resolutions
adopted by the Democratic Execu
tive Committee, we reproduce them
above. 1t will be seen that the ex-
pressed intention of the resolution
was to put out a straight democrat
ic ticket, and the men submitting
their names to the primary, pledg
cd themselves in advance that if
they should receive the nomina-
ton, that they would place their
names on the straight democratic
ticket, and not knowingly permit
their names to appear on any"Wlld
cat or fusion ticket. With this
made plain and agreed upon, the
Executive Committee passed res
olution throwing open the doors Of
the democratic party to all of thCse
who might have a desire to change
their way Of voting and vote the
democratic ticket, exacting from
them pledge to support the dem
ocratic ticket in the August elect
ion. We have attempted to make
this plain, as we have heard Of some
who had an idea that they could
vote in the primary and only be
pledged to support at the gen era
election, the name that they voted
for in the primary, provided he re-
ceived the nomination. The idea
is 50 far from all precedence and
good sense, that We are surprised
70 hear that any one could enter
tain an idea of that kind. Oh
course, this idea does not prevail
among the intelligent republicans,
and they have too much self-re-
spect to vote in the primary and
notsupport the nominee, but there
are a few we have heard of (and
we are constrained to think that
they got their information from
democrats who think that they
can vote for any one man in the pri
mary, pledging themselves only t.
the support of that man in thu
general election.
We will be glad at any time tc
hear of men quitting the ropubli
can party, and voting with the par
fthc people.

| once in wistful wise,
l should sing soul Of blessings, that
that should dry all weeping eyes;
Ishoul sing of Hope and Mercy, hidden
in the silent deep
Of this strange and sad existence; l
should sing, and men should weep
Tears from sweet relief from sorrow,
tears from glad release from pain.
Mine should be the gift TO give Earth
its Eden of love again;
And my soul should know the blessing
born of duty brayely done,
! should know tAe pride Of plandits hon
estIy and truly wcn.
| should know the praise Of Honor,
know fair Fortunes kindly smile,
Yet, nor stoop to any baseness, nor be
touched of any guile.
! should know the deep affection Of
thousand lightened hearts,
And should dwell in stately splcndor in
the palace of the arts.
Like God or like an angel l should
dwell apart from all
Of the common human passions that
hold mortals in theiGrthiall.
High and noble thoughts should cheer
me, dreams of fantasies of grace,
Like attendant, should sweep round me
in my souls exalted place,
Spariug he from all tho sordid, petty
cares of gsia and pelf,
Guarding me from all thu basenes and
the pettinys5 OF self.

All my heart was drear and empty, and

But vision came, and whispered some
thing nobler than i'd known,
And my hopes and aspirations borrowed
TO smaller zone;
And the wish, the deep ambition, that
now fills my weary breast
Has no wish for fame or grandeur, al
its hopes are Love and Rest.
No moe palaces of splendor fill my visit

But a sweet and quiet cottage where i
woMan's deep smile beams.
No more shine in mirage glories battle.

shall drone in idle song,
And the birds shall sing above it all thu

Round about the open windows wrcathcs
OF roses shall entwine,
And the humming birds shall fluttel
through the daIk festoons of vine,
Where the morning glory blossoms pour
soft breath on the breeze,
Blowing DER little garden sweet with
violets and heartsease.
And within this lowly palace gentlel
dreams and thoughts shalt come;
Patience, Tenderness and Kindness, all
the angels of the Home.
And then, with me, when the sunlight
traces pictures on the floor,
And the soft rays kiss the roses twinin;

CORBETT Is TOO PRETTY.
Bob FitzsimmOns Thinks That the Champ.
ion Is Afraid of Having His Beauty
Spoiled by Chance Blow.

BY the United Press
Chicago, Dec. 25.-Bob Fitzsimmons
was shown a Galveston dispatch last
evening containing an interview with
Pugilist Corbett, in which he said a
fight before the kaleidoscope was impos-
sible because of the ten minute wait
necessary between rounds in order to
regulate the instrument. This is what
he had to say:
"Corbett is the last man who ought to
say anything about using the kineto-
scope or any other means for advertis-
ing purposes. A kinetoscope contest
may not be much of a contest of en-
durance, but Corbett might find it more
than he imagines if he were before one
for a genuine contest instead of a mere
fake Ha seems to fear a chance
blow. His opportunity for such a blow
is as great as his opponents. 1 would
be willing to fight before the kineto-
scope for $4,000, particularly as l think
there is little chance Of the Jackson
vile authorities permitting a fight be-
tween him and me. The trouble with
Corbett is he does not want to fight,
and, having lodged Peter Jackson, with
little credit to himself, he now seeks
to get out of meeting me. Peter Jack
son is not pretty. Neither am I. We
are not afraid of getting hit, and are
willing to take our chances with chance
blows Corbett is too pretty, and
pretty men are particularly afraid of
chance blows. I think can whip Cor
bett, and l want to fight if 1 can do so
without interference"
