A Georgian for the Second Place.

Senator Gordon is not easily frightened
but it is possible that he concluded, from
the noise that was being made by those
who want his place, that It would not be
advisable for him to be a candidate for re-
election. But If he wants to remain in the
Senate he has only to say so. The democ-
racy of Georgia is willing to give him an
other term. He could not be beaten.
But If he does not desire to return to the
Senate the democracy of Georgia should
see to it that ne has the second place on
the national ticket. He would fill either
the senatorship or the vice presidency with
credit to himself and honor to the country
If he were placed on the national ticket he
would be a great source of strength to it.
because he is remarkably popular in all
parts of the country. and especially in the
south.
Georgia must have place on the ma
tional ticket If Gen. Gordon should re-
fuse to permit his name to be considered
in connection with the nomination for the
vice presidency then Georgia should insist
that that place be offered to Hon. Henry
G. Turner whose ability. integrity and
fidelity to the public welfare is well known
throughout the country.

Mr.. Crisp's Race.
From Louisville Courler-Journal Deml

1t is TO be regretted, Of course, that Mr..
Crisp has sprained his throat and is I'M
able to proceed with those joint debates
with Mr.. Hoke Smith; but it is not to be
wondered at in view of the ex-Speaker's
statement that he was impatient TO be
through with the discussion and proceed
to his real business-his senatorial candi-
dacy. The pursuit of office is Mr.. Crisp's
true vocation, and he has shown this as
plainly in the joint discussions with the
Secretary of the Interior as in any speech
he ever made on the stump. He made no
arguments, and his assertions were purely
plays to the populistS.

fold his congregation that Horace Greeley
allowed no work on the Tribune on Sun

self. The whole force worked, and very
lively work it was, too.

Secretary Carlisle has set the standard
of politics too high for groundlings. He
is much more concerned about the dec

is about who shall be nominated by the
democratic party. What is wanted is a
ringing declaration for true democracy
honest money and honest principles.
There will be no trouble about the candi-

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEE

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEL
 wish tO express my appreciation 01
 the great privilege of attending the ex.
 cellent course of entertainments given by
 the Mems club. I am very grateful tbat
 such good things have been brought
 within our reach. 1 am glad that the
 general public has so largely proved its
 appreciation by 9 patronage which has
 assured financial success. There is no good reason why the people of this town
 should not enjoy the best of everything. Cooperation, with wise management,
 would make our social life equal, in point of literary, artistic and musical privi- 1 Ieges, to many Of the larger towns and cities. I was not able to hear the first lecture, but have heard many speak of it in the highest terms; Dr Abb0tG's lee ture was d substantial benefit, as well az | a real entertainment the Glee club, which 1 heard last season also, gave us a fine concert of the kind, and the fun was well that both the concert and the audience ought to ke criticised little.
 It is probable that more than 90 per cent of tue audience were Christian peo- pie. presume that most of the members of the musical clubs are Christian Gneu {; but almost the whole program was mere y amusing, and much of it simply trivial ih chara cter, while most of the encores were last years numbers and of a kind shat do not impr0ve on repetition. 1 re- fer to the songs of course, Not that there vas anything objectionable but what 8 grand opportunity to put in some song of high sentiment, something patriotic, heroic, morall How I should have liked to hear them sing some sacred chorus!
 IL did not seem quite worth while for 20 college boys, more or less, to come so far just to make us laugh an hour, even though it was done in the most cultivat ed and artistic way. Could they have made us weep a little it would have been even more artistic still.
 I suspect that the program was short because of the abuse of the encore. The encore is generally abused and it was particularly abused on this occasion. The clapping in most cases was done by boys who ought to have been sitting with their parents or guardians. who should have told them better. The performers were probably in doubt whether they ought to respond to some of the calls or not, and gave the benefit of the doubt to Inc audiaupa bit or uisG
 An audience which will encore every number, shows no discrimination; and the program is doubled when is encored, therefore the pro- gram to start with must be short. Who Is to blame?- o. Wright

DAVID WILLIAM BRONSON. g
HIS DEATH OCCURS sUDrRNLY ON MON.
 DAY NIGHT. 7s

Death seldom makes 8 more sudden and unwelcome visit than it did on Mon. day evening of this week, when it remoy- ed from this community David William Bronson, man highly respected and es- teemed by every one whose pleasure it was to know him. MT Bronson had not been an entirely we'll man for number of years, being troubled with an acute eczema, which showed it's marks most plainly on his feet, making the amputa- tiOn of some of his toes necessary at diff ferent times. Especially had it been troublesome for the last few years, but of late he had been enjoying his usual health, until the night of February IS, when he was taken quite seriously ill with an attack of gastritis. He had, however, recovered rapidly and on the day of his death was feeling quite well, being up and dressed and attending to some business as we'll as reading the pa per. In the evening he played backgan- mon with his wife and, while he com 1 plained some of his foot paning him. thought nothing serious of it, and shortly after o'clock wheeled himself into his room, saying he would retire. His wife went into the room shortly afterwarG and, as he was still feeling badly, ad- ministered some medicine and returned 1 to the sitting room, where she sat read ing, when she heard gurgling sounG coming from his room. Going quick y to his side she saw that death had laid it's mark upon him and in 8 very few minutes his life had departed, the cause being heart failure.
 Mir Bronson was born at S0uthford in the town of Southbury 72 ytars ago. There he lived with his parents, MT and Mrs Harvey Bronson until he was mar red, when, shortly afterward, he pur- chased q farm in the town of Oxford or the main road from Oxford to SOuthfOrd, taking his wife there to build the home This place he occupied until 1886, when he removed to the Booth homestead here, where he has since lived. MT Bronson was man of sterling qualities, beloved in the home circle and thoroughly re- sppcJed by his nelghb0rs and friend: wherever he had lived. When young man he attended and was 8 member of the Cong egational church iu S0uthburZ and possessing an unusually sweet tenor voice, for 20 years or more led the choi
 singing in that church, Later he TemoV ed his church relations to the C0Dgreg&
 ti0nal church in Oxford, where he ha- since been member. He was pleasant gentleman to meer, well read on the top
 ics of the day and conscientious in tb~ extreme. A wife and three daughter
 Mrs Harriet 5. Cramer of An5onia, M:s Anna T. Downs of B Bridgeport and Mi
 Minnie Bronson of Baltimore, Mid, ,mourl deeply the loss of the husband aud fatir CT.
 The funeral services will be attended from the house this (Friday) afternoon
 at 3 o'clock, Rev G T. Linsley and Rc' ; o. W. Barker officiating. The bearer
 will be Messrs Philo Nichols, E, L. Johu son, Aaron Sanford, Elmer Fai. child Charles H. Peck and Robert A. Clark

meeting with his own mother. He closed by reading the following verses;
ALLIED. HOME
She has passed away Tilya a crnY7f1n lNnnnfh

She has passed away
 Like gentle breath, And her eyes are closed with the sleep of death The leaves on the trees will fintter and fall, And the drifting sn3ws will cover all, But she will peacefully, calmly rest,
 Forever happy,
 By angels blest
 Just in tho bloom
 OfwOmanhOod, Tender and loving and wise and good, An, too good for the sinful earth Only the angels knew her worth, So they called her unto them,
 Decking her brow
 With diadem.
 Better to smile
 When such life Gives up the battle ot earthly strife, Better to know that her tasks are done, Trials ended and glory won; Tears are vain wpen soul so bright
 Wings it's way
 To the gates Of light.
 She has passed away,
 But her sweet goodwill Like a fragrant Odor fingers still. The tender lesson that memory brings The mantle of patience o'er us filings. We will learn to follow the path she trod,
 To be more like her
 Who has gone to God.
