really desires. That issue as we
understand Il 10 this: Shall Bax.
ter Springs be controlled by what
ever political party can control the
most votes or shall Il be controlled
by the citizens acting ne such and
without any reference whatever to
any political partyr We should
not make war upon any party, but
we should make a fight for prin'

his duties to the town, and also his
country, and his fellow man, and to
his God, 10 o better instrument to
execute the public will than he who
is first of all and last of all under
the control of his party or a ring.
Upon this issue II would seem
there should be hardly difference

quirement announced by Mckinley
In his Boston speech, that the Fill.

basis of Lincoln's opposition to
slavery was wrong; the south was

OBITUARY..

Died, at the home of her parents,
two and one.haif miles west of
town, on Tuesday, March n, 1899,
Daisie Ivalene. only daughter of s.
T. and Margaret Coe, aged fifteen
years, FIVE months and nineteen
days. Daisie was III about three
weeks and her illness was pneu-
monia. The best of medical skill
was procured, but the icy hand OF
death could not be stayed.
Her death cast q pail over the
whole community In which she
lived. She was the pet of the neigh
borhood, kind, intelligent and
cheerful. She was the idol of the
home and her sunny disposition
cheered the hearts of her friends
and filed with happiness the
hearts of her parents and brothers
The great esteem IN which she
was held was attested by the large
concourse of people who followed
her remains to the last resting
place. The funeral services were
conducted by p. r. Slater.
The entire community mourns
with the bereaved family.
Daisie is not dead-there is no death:
She is only gone before.
Where she'll wait to welcome US.
On that bright celestial shore.
While in Jesus she slumbers sweet.
Let US try to do our best
To meet her then, to part no more.
In Heavens peaceful rest.
Oh. may we each for Heaven prepare.
And there mid shout Of the victory won
Each such glorious diadem wear.
When times Aeeting ages are done.

From The Verdict.
New York is on the thresh-
hold of q Democratic redemp-
ton. The returns have all been
gather ed, and the additions and
Subtrac tionS made. Now that
the dust of combat has so far
settled that one may gain some
glimpse of results, what, think
you, is the Republican majority
in the State of New York, as
shown two weeks ago? 1t comes
out as a shadow over 5000. No
mammoth plurality, truly! In
1896 the black majority was
246, 600. 1t was CleVelandism
that did that. In 1897 it bleach
ed to $4,000 One year ago
QS9S) it whitened out still fur,
ther, and stood as Is, 500. This
Autumn 1890 the Republicans
in'their superiority, as stated,
fade and pale to trife above
5000. In 1900-mark The Yer
diets word-that superiority
will have died and disappeared
buried beneath Bryan plu-
rality of $4,000. And all this
ma axes the morose and sulky
reason of present Republican
gloom. The further they trav.
ell, the darker it gets.
