LOUISVILLE, KY, March Elm 8
column of double-leaded type in
the Courier Journal this morning
Henry Watterson prints a somber
picture for The democratic party,
with Mr.. Cleveland as the central
figure. After referring to the tariff
legislation of + thc past and present
and the paralyzed condition of the
Democratic heart to-day, he writes i:
"No party ever came into power
with 80 great all opportunity and
no one ever put a great opportunity
to such base uses or cut so poor a
figure. All ..is chaos, and for the
time being all seems lost. Mr..
Cleveland coull yet retrieve the
fortunes of the day if he could
get rid of the terror into which his
message of 1887 threw him, when
he realized it's meaning, and would
cut aloof from the moneyed infuen-
ces which appear to have gotten as
complete possession of him as they
had of poor Gen. Grant.
STILL A CHANCE.
1T is not too late for Mr.. Cleve-
land to recover his lost popularity
and to do his country incalculable
service by the enlightened display
of some of that backbone for
which he has received so much
credit. Instead of frittering his
strength away by an unsf emily

tors over picklc-herring issues of
New York origin, revolving to the
good sense of the people at large,

oe the national platform. The
latter half of the silver promise
vet remains to be fulfilled. The
promise as to the repeal of the tax
on State banks still stands where
Mr.. Cleveland's own friends placed
it.
"It is yet possible to call a halt
upon the antics of the protection
lst dough-faces who masquerade as
Democrats in the Senate, and to
force them to come back to the
party, or to get out and take the
consequences.
ANDREW JACKSON WOULD.
can andrew Jackson in the
White House would surely find
way to these ends, and SO may Mr.
Cleveland, if he has the eye to see
and the will to do that which will
alone rescue his administration
from the ship-wreck with which it
is threatened. The greater part OF
Mr.. Cleveland'a life was passed in
popular fellowship, and presum-
ably in popular sympathy. AS
1long as he adhered to that line,
nothing could resist him. AS long
as he kept faith with the people,
they were with him and for him.
There is no use denying the signs
of the times. But we have three
years more to 60 on, and If the
President is wise man, he will
look over the field and revise his
plan of battle.
"First of all, he must cut loose
from New York. 1t is a stencil in

preached at Coosaw. During the terrible
Atlantic Coast storm last August he lost
nearly everything he possessed. Mr.
Morse was both an able and eloquent
preacher, and has many old friends in
Anderson who will be panied to learn OF
his death. The Abbeville Medium, in
speaking of his death says: Few preach
ers, conducted themselves as Mr.. Morse
did during the war and the old soldiers
had warm place in their hearts for him.
He went where he could console the poor
soldier in his last moments away from
home and friends. His devotion was
never forgotten and there is not an old sol.
dier who did not love and venerate him
and now drops tear to his memory. He
has gone to his reward, leaving the heri-
tage of good name. for his children after
long life of piety and good works."
The sympathy of the entire community
goes out to Mr.. Joe B. MCGEE, Jr., In the
loss of his wife, whose death occurred at
the home of her mother, on McDufie
street, last Wednesday afternoon, at about
5 O'clock, after an illness of nearly two
months For two or three days preceding
her death the life of this most estimable
lady had been despaired of, and the grief
stricken husband and the family sur
rounded the bed, momentarily expecting
the end which came peacefully and quiz
etly. It is just about eight months ago
that the young, strong and brawny hns-
band lead Miss Marie Brown, who was
daughter of the late Mr.. E. w. Brown, to
the altar and piighted the marriage VOWS
in the Presbyterian Church. The welded
life of the loving young couple, whose
hearts beat in unison, was one Of felicity
and mutual affection, and there was no
happier home than that which they
crowned with peace and cheerfulness and
which the visitation of death has changed
into place Of sorrow and gloom. Mrs:
MCGEE was about % years of age, and
since her girlhood had been faithful
member of the Presbyterian Church: She
was sweet woman with noble charac.
ter who was admired for her grace, dignity
and gentleness, which was most attractive.
She was gentle, kind snd loving wife,
devoted daughter and sn afectionate sis:
ter. Her husband, mother. brothers and
sisters, in their sad bereavement have the
consolation of knowing that she Is at rest
with the Saviour, whom she loved to serve.
On Thursday afternoon her remains were
inferred in the Silver Brook Cemetery,
after appropriate funeral services being
conducted in the Presbyterian Church by
her pastor, Rev. Dr.. Frerson.

Her head had been crushed by striking
