tty-The Damocr ats ere a Little More
Modest in their Figures than the re-
publicsns.
The Congressional Campaign Com
mittees of both the Democratic and
Republican parties are beginning to
consider seriously the complexion OF
the next National House of Represen-
tatives. The election is only little
over four weeks off, and there is na-
tural inclination to survey the field and
determine, if possible, the size of the
harvest that is to be gathered IN. Very
naturally the spectacles through which
the Democrats and the Republicans
gaze at the Congressional districts Go
not produce the same results, but the
difference is not as marked aS one
would suppose. Both sides are conf
dent of winning. The Democratic es-
innate Is more conservative than the
Republican, and with its total Of 1870
is dangerously near the danger line.
The Democratic estimate gives three
of the South Carolina members to the
Populists, which is mistake. Our be-
lief and hope is that every district in
this State will be carried by the Demo
Gratis. The Republicans in their esti-
mate claim 200 members, but we have
20 idea that thccTy viii get them, i the
I Democrats all over the country Wilflay
aside their factlonal difficulties and pull
together. This is all that is needed TO
secure grand Democratic victory next
month. The folio wing table gives the
claims of each party, and it will be
worth while comparing these figures
with the returns on the morning after
election:

ginia Democratic State committee, he
NeveS that the Republicans will only
gain one Congressman in his State, aod
heis not st all certain that even this
slight change will occur. At Republi-
can headquarters, however, it is said
that Republicans will be elected in the
I'd, 7th and Oh districts. West Virginia
also seems to be very much disputed
battle ground. The advices at the
Democratic headquarters indicate the
election Of Democratic Congressmen in
all of the four districts, but this claim
is said By the opposing managers to be
absurd. Wilson'S defeat is predicted by
majority Of 1900. A mmunica.
ton received at the Republican head
quarters recently, dated at Berkeley
Springs, in Wilson's district, says that
all the saw mills in that county have
been closed, and that at DAVIS City 300
lumbermen haYe been thrown out OF
employment. Howard, in the lst, and
Anderson in the 81, are also said TO be
doomed to defeat.
Wisconsin is another State where
the result appears uncertain. Chair
man Wall, of the Democratic State
committee, predicts the election of five
COngressmeu, but Representative Bah
cock, of Wisconsin, who is the chair
man of the Republican Congressional
committee, thinks the Democrats will
be fortunate if they bring even three
of their candidates safely through. BY
q fusion with the Populists the Demo-
Gratis expect to get three Congressman
in Nebraska, who will cooperate with
the Democrats in organizing the House,
but the Republicans. claim the entire
State, being now c0nlindent that Mr.

their most formidable opponent. From

returned, but the Republicans claim
eleven out of the twelve districts. In
Maryland, too, the Republicans expect
to make gains, counting upon three Of
the six districts, the 1st, 9Th and 9Th.
They do not put Louisiana in their

Democrats expect to hold their own in

bers. A clean Republican sweep IN
California, with tie exception of one
district, is also part of the Republi-
can programme. They also expect to
wrest Colorado from the Populists,
Delaware and Wyoming from the Dem
ocrats, and gain district in Kentucky.
While we believe that the Democrats
will win, we confess that the fight Is
going to be a hard one.

A Sad. Sad Tragedy,

A very sad tragedy occurred at Cas-
ton on the South Bound Railroad last
Wednesday night. 1t was the tragic
Death of bright young lad, who had
run away from home, without even tell
irg his parents good bye. The sad event
occurred just about midnight, and tears
sole down the cheeks Of many strong
man, as he stood by the handsome lad
in the hours of the morning, as his lite
slowly ebbed away from his mangled
form. These strong, tender. hearted tar
mers stood around the little fellow, al.
though he was a perfect stranger, dong
all in their power to save him, knowing
he was IN dying condition all the time.
They stood there and heard him tell his
story and plead for his life to be pro-
lopged till he could kiss his father good
bye, father whom he had left without
giving any lntimation as to his Intentions
"a father who was at his home IN Phlla.
delphla. perhaps at that very moment
racking his brain to devise SONS plan OF
securing intormatlan as to his missing
son, 1t was scene to touch the heart
of any man. The story briefly toldis as
follows: On Wednesday night this lad
got into CASTOR in some way. A: mid
night fast freight train passed through,
but did not stop. Just as it rolled past
the station, a cry of pain was heard on
the track and several parties Fastening to
investigate, found the form of youth
on the track terribly cut and mangled.
He was lifted up tenderly and taken into
the depot building. There was no phys!-
clan ID the place. the town physician
being away in Colum oia. The lad told
these around him that he had IN belt
around bis waist $3.65 in cash. He
begged them 10 tear bis clothes open,
get It and get physician for him. He
SAID that this was ali the money he had
aud he had not cared to spend any OF it
to ride on the railroad. He said be at.
tempted to jump on the train while it
was running; no one had pushed him of,
but he had simply missed his footing
and fallen under the wheels. No physi.
can could be secured before the arrival
of the 3 a. ~. train from Columbia.
When the lad was told this he said he
had some time ago, without cause, and
without, even saying goodbye to his
mother and father, run away from bis
home in Philadelphia. He said he was
eighteen years of age and his name was
Samuel Williams; his parents lived at
No. 2 736 Germantown avenue, Phlla-
delphia. The boy was handsome III
tie fellow, and seemed to. oe OF good
birth and well-to-do psrcntage. When
be realized that death VAS lmln9ent, he
pleaded to be allowed time enough to
kiss his father goodbye; snd thus his
young lite slowly ebbed away. DR..
BroSker arrived about 8. m, but the
lad dles N fifteen minutes thereafter.
The good people Of CASTOR took charge
of the remains and as much concern was
displayed in the funeral as II some son
of CASTOR man had died. He was
given 8 neat burial and his grave was
marked, 80 that should his parents hear
of his tragic end and wish to see the
grave, they can find it. The above &C
count of this extreamly sad tragedy IS
taken from Mondays State.

WAKE UPi

Here are some facts, and we must
look them squarely in the face. The
Republicans OF. this county and con-
gressional district are entertaining
hopes Of the election of NJ. II. Kulp
to Congress, and they base their hopes
upon the fact that this county gave
majority of only goo for congressman
at-large last spring, while the district
actually gave a small republican ma
iority. OF course, the conditions that
existed then, do not exist now. There
was then only one state officer to
elect, congressman. at large, with no
possible chance for the democratic
candidate, There were no speeches,
no public meetings, and no effort to
get out the vote. Now we have full
State ticket in the field, headed by
that gallant leader of tariff reform,
Col. William M. Singerly, and we
have a candidate for Congress in the
person of Charles r. Buckalew, a
man whose reputation as a statesman
extends beyond the limits of the
State, and whose name is known from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The election of our candidate for
state Senator, J. Henry Cochran, and
the full county ticket is conceded, but
in the matter Of congress a strong
fight is being made. No stone is being
left unturned by Mr.. Kulp and his
friends. The county is being flooded
with republican campaign documents,
the calamity howl is kept ringing in
the ears of the laboring men, false ac.
cusations are made against Mr.. Bucka.
lew concerning his record in pension
matters to influence the soldier vote /;
young men are appealed to because
| Mr.. Buckalew is "too old" Gen
Hastings, Governor Beaver and all
their retinue were brought here, not
in behalf of the State ticket but direct.
ly in the interest Of Kulp. For his
benefit the speeches were made, and
for him the people were asked espe-
cially to vote. While Democratic
orators are making speeches through.
out the county, Kulp's barrel is
furnishing the sinews of war with
which his fight is being quietly carried
on; Every republican, young and
old, in the district will be at the polls
on the 9th of November, and it is
because they believe that many demo-
Gratis will stay at home that our oppL-
nents fatter themselves that there is
a chance for their candidate. Colum-
bla County has always been looked
upon as one of the strong holds Of
Democracy. To permit the republi-
cans to run away with it, because OF
the failure Of democrats to do their
duty to themselves and to their coun.
try, would be to make of ourselves the
laughing stock Of republicans, and to
have the finger of every democrat in
the state pointed at US with scorn.
VIII we submit to this Will we put
ourselves in a position where such
things can happen3 ? If not, then let
us waken up to the duties of the hour.
Every democratic vote should be cast,
and they must get out to the polls.
The district is easily ours by 5000
majority, if we will but reach out our
hands and take it. Democrats of Col
umbia County, it is Tor you to say
what shall be the result. See to it
that the republican turtle does not
win the race while the democratic
hare is sleeping by the wayside.
