For The Ledger.
In Memory of Roddy Hinson.

Son of DR.. and Mrs F. G..
Hlnson, who died the 9th day of
October, 1904, aged IA years and
5 months.
Roddey was bright and prom
lsing young man, and loved by all
who knew him.
He died trusting in his Savior
and requesting his loved ones and
friends to meet him in heaven
where all is peace and happiness
Therefore, his loved ones should
sorrow not as those who have no
hope and we we believe while our
hearts mourn his loss, We know
that our loss is his gain,
In the sad and lonely church yard,
Where the green trees throw
their shade.
Over the lone and silent sleepers,
One more grave has just been
made.
With the autumn's lovely flowers,
Fixed and laid upon his breast,
And the flowers all around him,
They have laid him down tc
rest.
HOW mamma yearns to clasp and
press him
To her heart for one more kiss.
But that never be her darling,
Earth for her has no such bliss
Long may be her road and dreary
Before she meets her boy dear
Call + r mamma some day, Rod
dey,
And be sure that she shall
hear
lie is gone, but not forgotten;
Never will his memory fade
Loving thoughts will ever hun
ger.
Round the grave where he il
laid.

A WALL OF DESPAIR.
4 Republican Organ Plays a Dirg.
For It's Failing Party.

4 Republican Organ Plays DtFEe
For Its Failing Party.
Those who followed the fortunes OF
the late Senator Hanna are divided
into two factions. The officeholders
are mostly climbing, with apparent
pleasure, on to the Roosevelt band
wagon, but the great majority Of the
other faction take gloomy view OF
the Republican outlook. Many infuen.
tial Republican newspapers voice this
fear Of the future and are warning
their readers of the coming troubles
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune is
one of them and some time ago ad.
vised it's party that it was taking desr
perate chances in nominating Mr.
Roosevelt and its belief that a crush.
ing defeat would follow. The death OF
Senator Hanna at this juncture ii
views as another nail driven into the
Republican coffin, but takes calm
though resigned survey Of the desper
ate condition of its party and evident
" sees but little encouragement fol
success in the coming campaign. II
says that with both Mckinley and
Hanna gone the party dangers are
coming fast and thick. 1t names New
York, Indiana, New Jersey, Connecti
cut, Illinois and Colorado as doubtful
states, "all important, absolutely es
sential," for Republican success, and
concludes with this cry Of despair: "a
weak candidate, with no Hanna to
help, can carry none Of them"
There is no doubt that large mum
Der of the Republican leaders feel
equally Respondent with this sincere
and outspoken organ Of the party.
The Republican party, having tied It.
self to the trusts and corporations and
declining to enact legislation that the
great majority Of voters are clamorfna
for to relieve them from high prices
and reduced incomes, has nothing te
offer in place Of the debasing CONNER
eialism that believes every man has
his price.
The Democrats have a glorious pros
pect Of success, and their consisten!
and persistent efforts for all essential
reforms which the voters are now do
manding will, with the best candidatea
that are available, lead to this most
desirable victory.
