Fleming G.. du Bignon. who has led the

this State for five years, and who made
the race against the late Charles f.
Crisp for the United States Senate, will
no longer oppose the majority sentiment
Of his party. He is at present being

night made a statement that has caused
a sensation among the politicians.
He says I'm part: 1.-THE boiling Demo-

the loudest in their commendation of the
action of the minority, when, in 1892, II
yielded its intense oppoStion to Mr..
Cleveland and gave him the votes which
elected him President. The minority did
its duty as Democrats then. and for
them to have adopted any other course
after the action of the convention would
have been to put themselves in the at

the action of the convention in 1896,

Since the establishment OF the republic
there has been room in this country FOR
but two great parties. There have been
side issues and ephemeral organizations
formed out of temporary divisions. but in
i'm the end they invariably drift back to
two great channels Of political thought.
The Republican and Democratic parties
are now. as they have been for long
time. and as they will be for many years
TO come. the two great lines Of political
opinion Of the people Of the country.
side issues will be raised and new
organizations formed, but they will share
the fate of the Free Soil and the anti
Masonic movements, and other such
skeletons as are now found on the politi-
cal desert. The Populist party has had
its day, and it is now undergoing the
progress of disintegration. l believe the

SERMON TO THE COxvIcTs.
Mr.. GoOtie breaches to 700 of Them
on True Rcpentnnce.

Mr.. Gootie, the Baltimore evangelist.
preached at the Virginia Penitentiary on
Sunday morning on the subject OF RE
pentance." About 700 Of the convlcts
listened with marked attention to the
discourse. The preacher took as his
text Acts, 1890: "And the times Of this
ignorance God winked at. but now com
mandeth all men everywhere to repent"
Mr.. Gootle began by saying that true
repentance was the foundation Of true
religion This had been preached by
John the Baptist, Christ, Peter. ST. Paul.
St John. and others. The evangelist
first undertook TO show his hearers what
repentance was not and what repentance
was. Said he
Repentance is not fear. A great
many men have alarms about death and
he'll while sick. The attending physi-
clan tells them he has done all he can
do. The man I'm an alarmed state Of
mind begins to pray; the disease Is not
fatal and the man RECEIVERS and goes on
in sin. No change.
Repentance is not feeling How many
men we meet who tell us they would
repent II they felt ike it, They stand
by the still cold form Of a loved one,
and a feeling comes into their minds.
and they resolve to do better but in
few weeks or months you will find them
committing the same sins. There has
been no change in that man..
Repentance is not remorse. How
many man goes TO his knees under the
torture of remorse, and cries for mercy.
when In his own heart he IS false In his
action. He does not desire to be right
with God. and obey Him. but he desires
to get rid Of the sting of remorse, which
caused Judas Iscariot 10 commit suicide
Repentance is not regret Repentance
Is not praying and reading the Bible
There is a crowd Of people who mistake
this for repentance. They become alarm
ed about their souls. and they become
very religious. but do not repent. This
accounts for the great number Of hypo-
critics in the worldt'
Continuing. Mr.. Gootie said: True re-
pentance is being convicted n thing is
sinful and wrong against God and man.
and then turning with all the will and
heart toward God and asking His for
giveness. 1t is n change OF mind: It is
acting on n change Of mind. You have
been going down the road that leads
to disgrace and hell, and you turn around
and go the other way. face toward
Heaven, confessing to God that you have
not served Him, and asking pardon and
forgiveness through Christ. and accepting
Christ by faith. Faith must accompany
repentance. II John the Baptist had
preached repentance and stopped there,
he would have done little good by his
preaching, but he told men 10 repent,
and pointed them to Jesus Christ, the Son
of God.n

Deputy had two officers with him, and
when he called upon the blockader TO sur
render Taylor rolled out of his buggy
in an instant and drew pistol, which
was well loaded. Before he had time
TO use It. however, Marshal Freddy fired
upon Taylor the ball going through the
hand in which the blockader held his
pistol This caused Taylor to drop his
pistol In an instant the officer and his
assistants were on top of Taylor. and
"A lively tussle followed for about ten
minutes There were many pistols fly
ing in the air women and children were
screaming. and the situation was any
thing but pleasant, even for the spec

The officers finally tied Taylor. and
he was placed i'm buggy and carried
TO jail at Danbury. report was
brought here to-day that some Of Tay-
Tors friends made an attack on the Off
GERS while they were en- route for the
jail. and that several men on both sides
were wounded. Taylor has. 1t is stated,
been in the moonshine business, and has
defled the officers for several years He
generally carried Winchester and pis-
tolls with him.
Freddy sent Taylor word as soon as
he was appointed Deputy-Marshal that
he had five warrants against him, and
expected 10 arrest him. Taylor replied
that he would never be taken alive.
