the democracy has discarded it, know
ing full we'll that if republican should
be elected governor he will never be
called on to sign statewide bill.
1t is not likely that any temperance
man will be deceived by this nervy
subterfuge. There is no genuine offer
of temperance reform. 1t is mere
play to the grand stand and the gallery.
Again, it is we'll enough to call atten-
tion to the fact that the two conven-
tions represent nothing The delegates
were self-elected. Anybody who want
ed to go to either convention could do
so, and his mere presence made him a
delegate. A delegate, therefore, repre-
sented nobody but himself, whereas in
the democratic convention every dele
gate represented 100 democrats Meth

Fight With Confidence.

Can any voter who has a right to be
considered q democrat furnish any
sound reason for not supporting the
democratic ticket next November? OF
course there may be likes and dislikes
over the candidates and the platform;
but these are mere preferences, person :
al at that, and are miles from the realm
of the sound reason. What is asked is,
can democrat give sound reason for
not supporting the party in November?
We believe no democrat can give this
sort of reason and not having it to give,
why should any democrat give aid and
comfort to the enemy, or discredit the
chances of democratic success by pre-
dieting democratic failure.
To be sure democracy has been beat
en- time and again; but democracy, like
the courageous heart it is, comes back
to the battle, and fights again and
again. It is the coward's part to hang
back and fear defeat; for he who has
the apprehension of defeat in his mind
when he joins the fight, is pretty apt to
be found running away ere it is we'll
begun. Therefore, every democrat
should fix his mind firmly upon success,
believe in success, talk success, make
success.
It rlay not be commonly known, but
this year there are republicans who be-
gin to talk a possible defeat for their
party, and many and many of the stall
warts are found who fatty contradict
the timorous democrat who says that
democracy has no chance The fact is,
democracy has as good a chance as il
had when the party won with Mr..
Cleveland Among the masses in many
of the republican strongholds there are
undoubtedly signs of detection from
that party. The leaders know it and
the press is aware of it, though the ev

nearly everybody will like Dorothes
Deakin's latest story, "The Road to
Gretna Green" in the August Lippin-
cott's. Miss Deakin's style reminds
one forcibly of Frank Il. Stockton,
though it is in no sense an imitation.
The plot has to do with the efforts of
Alexandra, the youngest daughter of
Lord Malinder, to soften her grief at
having been deprived of a ducal lover,
by helping others-a suggestion offered
by her chaperon, Miss Green, with
whom she is living incognita in the
village of Malinder. Endless amusing
complications arise as q result of the
girls Quitting inf we may be per-
mitted to use bit of contem porary

right in the end, as they should in all

ACCEPTING WBISKEY
Express Agent at Muir
freesboro Arrested.
THOUGHT ORDINANCEVOID
Dry Town Takes Steps to
Prevent Delivery of
Packages Whisky.

Nashville, Tenn, August 17.-Burt
Simms, Southern Express agent, is
under arrest at Murfreesboro, a dry
town, on a city warrant charging him
with receiving and delivering packages
of whisky shipped into Murfreesboro
contrary to the ordinances the city
board adopted about year ago.
The arrest of Mr.. Simms caused con-
siderable excitement and surprise, as it
has generally been supposed that the
law passed by the city board was void.
Acting on the supposition that these
ordinances were void, the express COM
pany began to receive and deliver pack
ages of whisky about a month ago and
since then thriving business has been
carried on between whisky dealers in
this state and consumers in Murfrees-
boro and the surrounding territory.
The city, it seems, is not undertak
ing to interfere with interstate ship
ments where they are limited to quart
or less, but they aro trying to shut out
shipments from Nashville.

But every day this note from the form.
or and the laboring classes grows more
and more significant.
Mr.. Taft's brother heard it, even in
Connecticut, and was so exasperated
that he rashly declared that the farmers
OF that state were so ignorant and in
different that they would neither know
nor care if party of "malcontents"
should descend upon the capital and
burn it up.
Van Cleave, president of the Nation
al Manufacturers Association, heard
the note and discovered his alarm by
falling into vituperative hysteria con-
cerning Mr.. Bryan and democracy.
Steam Roller Hitchcock has caught
the sound, and it has sent him desper.
ately at work re-Organizing his fighting
forces.
Indeed, there is both anxiety and
perturbation in republican ranks. 1t,
therefore, behooves every democrat to
display the greater confidence, show
the greater vigor and assume the more
assured front. There is ground for it;
for there was never better chance for
democratic success. Commercial -Ap-
