1t is generally supposed lndC ueSpera-
does-men at war with society, and
with whom society is at war-make the
best soldiers; but this is an error. Ac-
cording to the testimony of all expert
enced officers, men of bad character,
however brave, physically, are a curse
to any army. Such men are generally
the prime movers of INSTRUMENTATION
and mutiny, and if there is any treason
at work, are pretty sure to be at the
bottom of it. Moral courage is as es-
sential in military as in civil life, and
it is not an attribute of the depraved
and vicious. He who goes into battle
with a clear conscience, confident in
the Justice of the cause for which he
risks his life, and believing that God is
on his side, is the only true hero. He
is not bloodthirsty, he is not under the
domination of a sanguinary and brutal
instinct, but he is enthusiastic where
ardor is required, calm and collected
in emergencies, and can bear up cheer
| fully against reverseS, hardships and
privations, under which the desperate
would wilt down." or desert. What
but moral courage, born of integrity OF
purpose and confidence in Heaven, sus
tanned the ragged, half-starved, ill-paid
soldiers of a bankrupt republic, in theil
desperate struggle with the well-ap
pointed legions of the enemy, during
the darkest hours Of the American Rev
olution? The RECONSTRUCTED Delaware
had not been crossed, the battles Of
Trenton and Princeton had never beer
fought and won, the horrors of the win
ter bivouac at Valley Forge had never
been endured, the inestimable blessing
of our national independence had never
been attained, but for the moral cour
age and fortitude Of good and true men
at peace with God and their owp con
sciences. Rowdies and desperadOel
never achieve such exploits, or submit
patiently to such hardships, as hav'
made the heroes of '76 immortal in his
tory. 1t may be set down as an axiom
that bad men never make good soldiers

Louisville. Ky. Nov. s.-Leslie
Combs, chairman of the republican
state campaign committee, at noon
dictated the following statement:
Under any fair election law Nc
Kinley and Yerkcs would have car
ried the state by 5000 or 10000 ma
iority. The republican vote has been
whitfield in many places by petty lar
ceny, and in number of places by
highway robbery. Nothing but the
official count will settle the election
and the official count is made under
the Goebel law by commissioners from
whom the republican party has no
reasonable grounds to expect fair
treatment"

ton of Beckham (dcm.) for grovernor

on the republican claim Of l0,205 ma

The FusiOnists still Claim the state
for Bryan.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. s.-The Bee
prints a table on the national ticket,
giving complete returns from IS coun-
ties, and on ten other counties with
one precinct missing from each. out
of a total of 90 counties, which gives
Mckinley. 90,22s; Bryan, s6,l96. The
same counties, in 1896. gave Mckinley
s5.476, Bryan 96.54.. This is a net gain
for Mckinley of 1i,so3. Bryan's plu-
rality in 1896 was IL, 90. With this
ratio of increase throughout the
missing counties, Mckinley will have
a plurality of about 5000 in the state.
There were $4,000 TO $4,000 more
votes polled in the state than in 1896.
and the fusionists claim these are
mostly from the cities and towns
which have already been heard from.
and that the counties yet unreported
will give Bryan small plurality in
the state.
The state ticket is running close to
the vote on president and II may re-
quire the official count TO decide on
governor and other state Offices.
