Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind.
For those that here We see no more
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor.
Ring in redress TO all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause
And ancient forms Of party strife,
Ring in the nobler modes Of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and blood.
The civic SANDER and the spite;
! Ring in the love Of truth and right.
| Ring in tbs common love Of good.
Ring out old shapes Of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust Of gold
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in the thousand years Of peace.
Ring In the valiant mar and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand.
Ring out the darkness Of the land,
Ring In the Christ that Is 70 be.

HARMnNInus DEMOCRACY.

Referring to the harmonious meet
ing Of Democratic county chairmen
and secretaries in ST. Louis under the
head line, triumphant Party Spirit,
the st. Louis Republic editorially says:
Members Of Democratic county or
CARNATIONS who formed the conven-
ton at the jefferson Club yesterday
fulfilled their mission wisely and with
lust that aggresslyeness Of party spirit
which insures a successful campaign
next year. The meeting vas a true
Kew Years family gathering and cele-
bratlon. The effect will be an inspira-
tion 70 the party in all parts Of the
State during the impending contest on
State issues.
zone gratifying element was the
representative character Of the men
who took part in the deliberations.
The list Of delegates constituted al
most a roster Of the tried and loyal
Democratic leaders in counties Of Mis-
souri,. These men wereanimated by a
single purpose-the maintenance Of
Democratic strength and the rebuke
and defeat Of Republican spoils-hunt-
ers who are responsible for the out
break Of lying defamation against the
name Of Missouri.
"If there is disappointment over the
results Of the convention the disap
pointed are the Republican bosses and
the few faithless Democrats who con
spire with Republican bosses for the
defeat OF the Democratic party. In
the meeting itself there was an agree
,ment which amounted to unanimityi
and among all the visiting Democrats
there was satisfaction with the Jealous
party feeling of the delegates.
SIN the address issued by the con.
vention the enemies and the faint
hearted friends Of Democracy vii
search in vain for a word Of evasion
or apology. Every challenge OF the
Republicans is met with fearless as
sertion Of pride in Democratic admin
istration. The party is united am
is anxious for a contest on the issue
selected by the Republican machine.
"Not only is that rue Of genera
state issues, but it is true Of the is
sues Of municipal government in st
Louis. Kansas City sent down a largI
delegation which promised that all in
ternal contests would be adjusted ant
that the jackson county Democracy
would send its natural representation
TO the next Legislature. Probably TN
spirit Of cooperation for party success
was never 50 strongly and amicably as
serted as between ~thecounties and tht

gedy little tramps which slept in

curly-haired darlings who rescued
