tlOus than ever he was; that his removal
to New Jersey was the first adrOit stem
IN his new plan of campaign; that every
day of his life in that fine, effeminate
Italian hand, he will write from two to
nifty letters, addressed to persons in ev-
cry part OF the country; that posing as
retired statesman and philosopher, and
playing upon the credulity of the simple
minded and easily tlattered, he will
leave no string untouched for slim
ulatlng the activity of the expectant
! and day and night this reform club, hav-
! ing in charge the circulation of demo-
cratic literature, will be silently, surely
working to the one end which he. and
they, have before them-hiS nomination
! in 1900.
eff Mr.. Cleveland were possessed of
the faculty of conceiving any public af-
fair apart from his own interest-eyen if
he had any real sense of personal digni-
! ty-he would I'd the great questions at
issue from the embarrassment of pres
ence which is not a help but him
drance.
"To him the presidency has become
what he made ii While he had it
"a pers nal affair, held regard
less of party obligations. Destitute
of Imagination and of sympa-
j thy, he subjected everything and every
body to his unbounded and unquencha-
/ BILE egotism. This egotism, indeed, be-.
came so sincere that he grew at last to
believe that he did actually know some
thing of the questions of his time and
had some policy other than the gratifica-
ton of his love for power and display.
1t is just as we'll that demo Gratis who

sound political lines of action and
thought should know, to begin with,
what lies across their path, and that
they should begin to cast about them
how to shake from their shoulders this
veritable Old Man OF the Mountains. He
is with us only for what it will bring
him. Nothing could have induced him
to appear in public ex cept to keep him
self before the public, and there is not a
word uttered by him to deprec ate the
idea of another candidacy
"All his life an office seeker and of
! flee holder, he differs from the riff-raff
of his class only by his high pretensoins
and profound duplicily. He hopes in
the hurly-burly of affairs 20 force himself
first upon the party and then upon the
country as the representative of clean
politics and the public order. He rep
resents neither. He represents only his
own lust for office. A great and noble
principle must not be thus desecrated
A possible party rehabilitation of the
! greatest moment must not be INSTRUCTED
by such deaths head at the feast.
eff Mr.. Cleveland has not the wisdom
to see his duty and the grace to steE
down and out, he should be compelled
by the opinions of decent people to step
down and ont, for the elimination
of his ambitions is indispensable
to any progress in the direction OF
reform, which, while he stood as it,
official chief, encountered nothing but
obliquy and defeat"

THE BLUE AND The GRAY,
A PATHETIC INCIDENT OF THE
LATE CIVIL WAR.
When Living They Were Enemies,
but Wounded and Dying They
Were Made Fast Friends.

William WilkersOn, who was for many
years jailer of Fayette county, and who
was noted for his fidelity to truth, relat-
ted the following pathetic story of hero
ism which h9 witnessed shortly after the
battle of Richmond, KY, in 1862:
"a SOD of my friend, Cassius NJ Clay,
was killed in the fight at Richmond, and
it was my duty to visit the battlefield
and identify the body and take it to his
fathers home. While riding slowly over
the scene of the battle l heard groans.
which was sure came from cornfeld
near at hand. Looking down the corn
rows l soon discovered two wounded
soldiers lying about forty yards apart.
One was federal and the other a co MED
crate. A cannon ball had broken and
terribly mangled both of the confeder-
ate's legs, while the federal was shot
through the body and thigh.
81 am dying for water | heard the
federal say just as l discovered them.
His words sounded as if they came from
a parched mouth.
"'l have some water In my canteen
You ale welcome to drink if you'll come
here, saiu the confederate, who had fee
bly, raised his head from the ground to
look at his late enemy when he heard
his pitiful cry for water.
Ct couldn't move to save my Ife,'
grOaned the federal as he cropped his
head to the ground while his body quiv-
cred with agony.
Then l beheld an act of heroism
which held me Spellbound until it was
too late for me to give the assistance [
should have rendered. The confederate
lifted his head again looked at his
wounded foe, and l saw an expression
of tender pity come over his distorted
face as he said:
"'Hold out little longer, yank, and
I'll try to come to vou.' Then the brave
fellow, by digging his fingers into the
ground and holding on the corn stalks.
painfully dragged himself to the federal S
side, the blood from his mangled legs
, making red trail the entire distance.
The tears ran down my cheeks like rain,
and, out of sympathy for HIM, groaned
every time he moved, but | was lost to
| everything except the fellows heroism,
and did not once think of helping him
"When the painful journey was finish
/ ed he offered his canteen to the federal,
who took and drank eagerly, the water
seeming to szzle as it passed down his
! parGhed throat. Then with deep sigh
| of relief he reached out to the cOnfeder-
! ate and it was plain to see as they clasp
! ed hands and looked into each others
eyes that whatever hate may have rank
led once in the hearts of these men had
now given place to mutual sympathy
and love. Even while | watched them
saw the confederate's body culver as if
in spasm of pain, and when his head
dropped to the ground | knew that he
70 had crossed the dark river. The fed
eral kissed the dead hero's hand repeat
eddy, and cried like child until bad
him removed to the hospital, where he,
too, died the next day. Lexington
