from this city, met with terrible
death Monday morning. He was
gored to death by bull. Mr..
Zahn went to the field to get the
COWS, and not returning at a reas-

for him. The son had not gone
far when the bull came at him, and
he had just time to get over the
fence. The son noticed that the
bull was bloody, and went down
along the fence. and saw his faith
or lying on the ground with all his
clothing torn off, and bruised un-

There was nothing left on him but
his shoes. The bull was three
years old, and was considered gen

Gentraiization.

The national issues which will
have to be fought over and settled
are, the questions of finance, ofthe
tariff, OF trusts. and of the central
ization of the powers of the gov
eminent at Washington. And of
these, the greatest is the latter. II
is the old issue raised by Jefferson
in protest against the centralizing
and imperialistic principles of
Alexander Hamilton. The strug-
gle between the two parties on this
vital and fundamental principle of
government, has been a live one in
this country for one hundred years,
and it is more alive today than ever

..Who come There2,,

a good story is told on one of
our Mason county boys who is a
member of Co. B, I'd Reg. Vol. Inf.
Recently private of Go. B, had
been furloughed to visit a town
near the camp, and filed mp with
booze, and had stayed over his
time. How to get into camp was
worrying him. and he hit upon a
plan to run" the guard line. In
attempting to do SO, he was dis
covered by another member of Go.
B, who was on guard, and halted
with the challenge "who comes
there? advance aud give the count
ersign.' He answered ga friend
with a quart" The guard respond
ed advance with the cork pulled.
It is needless to say the private
was passed inside the lines.

Tl.e Democratic position.

The Democratic party is the par
ty of the people. It embodies the
true American idea.
1t includes the man who works
hard with pick and shovel and the
successful man who believes that
the worker has rights the same as
his own
The Democratic party opposes a
party of privileges, of illegal trusts.
of special protection for the strong.
The welfare of the country, par
ticularly at this period of national
growth and of important legisla-
ton, demands that the Democratic
party shall triumph.
It is not in an overhopeful mood
that Democrats predict Democrat
&c triumph this fan.
The WARP
The Democrat is not intelligent
who doubts that it viii add to the
strength of the Democratic party.
He is not true Democrat who
doubts it. for he doubts the ability
of the people to think clearly.
Every day until election day
means a day of thought and a day
of gain for the Democratic party.
Already the people have clear
and separate conceptions of the
noble ideas for which the war was
fought, of the deeds of arms which
are the,uation's glory, and of the
political conduct of the war which
is the nations disgrace.
The Democratic party, the Dem
ocrats in Congress and, as has
been repeatedly charged-the Dem
ocratic press are responsible for the
declaration of the war.
The American people are respon-
sible for the wars glory and for its
triumphs.
The Republican party is respon-
sible for the wars Encouragement,
for the deaths, the needless sor-
rows that mar the national rejoic-
ing.
The Democrats in Congress voted
freely the funds to carry on the
fight. Not note of discord in
the face of the enemy-only sup
port for the administration.
But the Democrats were not con-
cerned in the corruption nor con-
nected with the Incompetence with
which these funds were disbursed.
Nor were the Democrats concern
ed in the cruelty and criminal neg
lect of which soldiers in camp have
been victims.
Whoever will analyze facts and
not be blinded by hurrah cam
paign must see that the Democrats
have been connected with every
honorable and creditable step in
the war, and with nothing that is
dishonorable or discreditable.-

Geo. I. Neal, the young Demo

this District, is known as the "pen-
nyless'' candidate; and because he
is poor the Republican papers are
making this pretext for attacking
him and twitting him about his
poverty. What he lacks in money
he makes up in brains. Republi-

use for man unless he has money,
