BERLIN, Feb. 20.-At a banquet Of the
Bundesrath tonight, in commemoraton of
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the empire,
Chancellor Won Hohenohe in proposing the
health of Emperor William and the German
princes, said he was we'll aware that an
other a better and a greater man than he
should occupy the position he himself filled,
the man whom Germany, next to the great
Emperor William. honored as the founder
Of its unity. For himself, he had only taken
preliminary share in the great work to
which the sacrifices of the German princes
made in the patriotic decision to join the
empire had contributed The national move
ment OF 1S4S and 1870 had to reckon with
the local patriotism which had grown upon
the individual states and which had been
strengthened by the course of history. 1t
was this feeling which the emperor, who
always upheld the rights OF his federal al
lies, had ever taken into account. They must
always be able to count, he said. upon har-
monious cooperation of the different mem
bers Of the empire. He concluded by call
ing for cheers for the emperor and the
princes of the empire and for the free cities.

The democrats Of Clarke county propose
to do some big work between now and
election day. They know the county is
safely democratic. but it is their intention
to roll up a big majority for the ticket.
A grand rally will be held Saturday night

pear. Next week at least one public meet
ing is to be held in each militia district
| in the county. Every democratic voter
in the county is to be urged to cast his
ballot, so that old Clarke may roll up a
\ majority of 200 or 800.
