DEMOCRAT : PLATFORM.
Adopted BY the Democrats OF Logan
County.

we, tho Democrats Of Logan coun.
ty. hereby declare and adopt the fol
lowing platform:
We reafTirm our allegiance to the
greet Democratic cause as espoused
by Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan and
we hear lily endorse the candidacy Of
Judge A. B. Parker for the presidency
and Henry G. Davis for the vice presi-
dency.
We enthusiastically endorse the
candidacy Of Hon. Frank Mathews for
congress and call upon the Democracy
Of Logan county to rally to his sup
port.
Resolved: That we hereby declare
for viii supremacy in Logan couh-
ty. we believe that it is to the best
interests of Logan county that white
men be placed in public OFFICES, and
that all deputyships be given to white
men. We believe that the placing Of
negroes in office in Logan county by
the Republican machine, vr ring, OF
political tric6sters has decreased the
value of property, made taxation
burdensome, and given the county the
reputation OF being 'nigger" county.
We ask the assistance Of all honest
men, of all par les, who desire that
the good name of the comfy shall be
redeemed from the stigma of negro
offcial!sm and domination that now
surrounds It, The county central
committee is authorized and empower
ed. upon satisfactory proof being made
to them. to remove from the county
ticker any candidate who is guilty o.
soliciting negro votes, in any manner,
and TO place thereon the name OF an
other candidate.
We especially commend to the suf-
frages of the taxpayers the splendid
candida es presented by the Demo
Gratis Of Logan county, and ask the
hearty support of the entire ticket in
order that the county may enjoy a
conservative and honest government
without iesoIting 10 a rate Of taxa
J,on that approaches confscation. We
pledge ous Candidates 10 clean ana
economical methods. while, at the
same time. enforcing the laws found
upon the statute books, believing that

to bed with him. Rants hobby was
good company for dinner. Spencer's
was that consistent care Of his health
which frequently yields an invalid the
longevity denied to strong man who
draws upon his strength as if there
were no end to it. nj his early ca

FAC, the shadow of illness was always
upon him. Success brought him the
privilege of practicing his gospel of
relaxation which he announced SO
vigorously in New York in 1888, when
he was visiting the stronghold of the
gospel of work.
While he was writing his "Syn-
thetic Philosophy" he was as me-
thodical as a clerk. From 8 to 10
he walked in Kensington gardens,
London. Tho his head was slightly
bowed, and he seemed wrapped in
meditation, yet he never failed to note
passing friend with a nod and a
smile. After he returned to the house
and had attended to his correspond
ence, he reached the full tide of die

put it. That meant that he would
drop everything and leave the house.
Expression came easily to him, so that
he rarely halted for: a word or made
changes in the stenographer's copy.
When he resumed the next morning
he seldom needed to be reminded of
the last word. spoken
