Miller. 5- It was autumn's first glorious day. With gentle tender step sweet sum mer had folded her skirts about her frail frame, lisped a last farewell and; started on her journey : to the eterni- ties of the past. I saw the stalwajthriSe of Jake's: "I'm opposed to any form of Mecklenburg Republicanism stride, long and lank down the streets, direct his quickening footfalls to the House of the Courts ?.nd assuming regal dignity, seat himself upon the throne. Drawing his rusty stiletto from its scabbard I saw him with one hilarious sweep strike to the floor the splendid Queen Democracy, step with unholy feet upon her prostrate body, carve the noble heart from her heaving breast and leave it bleeding there where the law is fostered, where jus tice finds its refuse and mercy and truth kiss each other. Struggling for a moment in the throes of final dissolution the stately Queen heaved earth's last sigh, retch ed death's first groan and that spirit which antedates all human life, and eclipses every purely human feeling, yea, that spirit that permeated the tiny hosts of Thermopylae, beat back the multitudinous hordes at Marathon and established Greek superiority on every sea, took its flight to the land whose stretches lie beyond the stars. I saw her faithful champion, Tom Ross, walk with sad and solemn tread to where lay the stiffening corpse, wipe with gentle touch the death-damp from her brow and turn again with despair emblazoned on his manly forehead. Gazing with ghoulish glee upon the work of his hands, the murderous, eye of Republicanism glittering with unearthly lustre as he cleaned his stiletto from the stain of blood and gathered his clan of laurel-crowned conouerors to prepare for the chief achievement of the day. Each passed around the bier (?) and took his place before the seat of au thority. Then saw I one in whom regal rights had been vested arise and walk to ward the front of the assembly and lapping three raps, called the great Conclave to order. Straightway strode Counsel Commander Jake Newell of i whom report had gone abroad that he was Known tor ms niucn speaKing aside from the additional notoriety gained recently on a legal trip to. Salis bury, who, when he had reached the speakers' bench cast one assuring glance around .the hall and in Shakes pearian phrases weightily worded and monstrously philosophic spoke on this wise: "Most Gracious Sovereign, my liege and brethren of the immortal or der of Republicanism: Long before the rock-ribbed earth appeared or the silvery expanses of sea lay mirrow-like upon the recumbent world, while the shapeless . mass ' qfCincngrQous mate- m rial sun wmnea in nopeiess contus ion, even then the . principle which we forfend to-day lived and flourished in the minds of men. Throughout the ages as the world's events kave filed past the reviewing stand of heaven, giving us glimpses of American life chosen at random from the pan oramic slides of our passing history; yea, as the thunderous tramp of the conqueror's hosts have kept time to the tune of the world's laudations, the peo ple's hopes and the people's rights have been another surging phalanx. Gradual yet real has been the march ing of this great army until we have come down to this stragetic moment in the history of local Republicanism when it is fitting that we should float to the four winds of God the unstained banner of our order." The inevitable hour has struck. There is confusion in the camp of our enemy. From my sanctiim I have watched the moving throngs, listened to the whisperings of discontent, heard the wails of woe ascending from the hosts of Democracy, and I am persuad ed that the plastic moment in our ca reer is at hand. iL'et's heed the call. Let's close in with the overtures of opportunity. I appeal to you, gentle men of this renowned assembly, that you go slow. Put men in the field who can run well the race set before them, remembering that the victory is to the strong. Put men in the field of charac ter and ability men whom the inde pendent voters of this country shall prefor over those who. shall run against them." And when he had" finished speaking he sat down and lo. the people said "amen," ."so let it be." quoth them all. . "I move, your Honor, our Lord Coun sellor, that we proceed to the nomina tions," sounded a sweet mezzetto voice, that wafted in upon the august as sembly like a zefchyr from the silvan solitude of Paradise. It was so order ed. With marked unanimity the sen atorship was agreed upon and Mr. Jas. McDonald was equipped with the ac coutrements for making the run. "Who shall legislate" queried one of the boys as he slanced down, the line and per ceived no movement to fill this ofiice. Messrs. Gamble. Banks and Campbell were secured as the three representa tives for the House. Then arose murmurfnss that augured ill. With eyes that shown with better determination Mr. W. C. Nolan 'lifted his mighty frame and began speaking. "There is be fore us a glorious opportunity for se curing a man for the lower House. There is one on the Democratic ticket who can be easily downed in the com ing election. I move that we. put out a man who shall run independently in order to poll the entire Republican vote and the votes additional of those t r- - : u ,' who are opposed to the man on the Democratic ticket." I have in mind a man who can run like a scared rabbit and who will not fail to land us in the House." "Name your man," shouted the multi tude. "Mr. C. W. Russell." "Where is he from?" "He ought to live here, but he don't," came the disquieting " answer. "He lives in Salisbury, no Wio; - Then iwas evoked rt. that immortal man front; Salisbury," . and with that self-same utterance the motion of Mr. Nolen was doomed to its death, for they call Jake chief and they do well to call him chief. Lieutenant Davidson of the region round about Huntersville was not pleased with the turn in the course of events. With the look of the wilder ness in his lovely eyes he made haste to assert his dissatisfaction. "We want to beat that man on the Democratic ticket. We can do it. Let's run some man independently. And his oily tongue spat eloquence that approached the fame of Demos thenes, spake wisdom akin to that which wreathed the crown of Plato and sent the name of Aristotle down the corridors of the ages all. "Hurrah for Davidson," clamored the crowds when it was perceived the earnest nes of the speaker and the mighty force of his words that dripped ,with the magic of Oriental poetry. But Jake's . mandate had lodged in the breasts of the majority, and the matter was dropped. "We are ready for nominations for register of deeds," ordered he who sat upon the throne. "I desire to place a man before this body," began a voice, "who is well fitted vfor this high office., a man; a man, a man, who ought to receive the unanimous nomination of this se lect assembly. That man is Warren Vines Hall." "Utterly impossible," promptly re torted Mr. Hall. "I can't accept. En tirely absolutely, wholly, altogether impossible." "With Republicans all things are possible," was the calm assurance that greeted Mr. Hall as he concluded his protests r.nd sat himself down. "I believe that it is now in order to nominate fcr the office of Coroner," quoth Dr. Hall, rising directlv in the icar of Dr. Isaac Hirshelberg." I have in mind a man, intimate in my friend ship, 'who is eminently qualified for this high position within our gift. He is a man who has never given vent to his political aspirations, but who is in every respect well fitted to fill this important place with utmost credit and ability. I place before this convention the name of Dr. Isaac Hirshelberg." "Many clapped their hands and shouted for joy. Col. J. D. Albright left his seat lifted his hands and went into the air. so rapt was his enthusiasm, so unmanageable was his pleasurable emotions. -1 0 "I decline. I am too busy, pressing duties forbid my running, I can't ac cept," protest J the genial Colonel, lolling his cigar as a sweet morsel under his lips. The current of popular opinion tided high and rolled on its billowy waves the form of Col. Ike en to his splendid office, his last words 1 echoing through the corridors of the hall in tones toucmng and iraugnt with pathos, "There will too many Democratic suicides. Oh, I can't stand it. I can't accept." Within the hollow Crown that rounds the mortal temple of man, keeps death his court, and there the antic sits, scoffing his stated and grinning at his pomp, allowing him a breath, a' little scene, to mon archize, be feared and kill with looks, infusing him with self and vain con ceit, as if this flesh which walls about our life were brass impregnable, and humored thus comes at the last and with a little pin bores through his cas tle wall and farewell! Cover your heads, my fellow-citizens and mock not flesh and blood with solemn rev erence. Throw away respect, tradi tion, form and ceremonious duty, for you have but mistook me all this while. I live with bread like you, feel want, taste grief, need friends, why offer you me this deathly lot." "Who shall survey," inquired with lysty voice the Lord High Counsellor. Col. Albright look long and anxious out of the window and over the town searching in his imagination for a man who could "use the instrument. "I move you," said Jake, "that we pass over this office as no one seems available.'". "Not so," replied Col. Albright, "lest the enemy might say we fail of men. I know a man who can survey the won ders of heaven and the fields of earth. I . move the nomination ofMr. Ti-W. Garrison." It was done. "For cotton weigher, who shall run," the challenge rang clear and shrill. Mr. C. W. Nolen who up to this time had not been able to weigh the doings of his comrades was. sauntered out tromj his fellows, and r. aimed for: the conflict with Mr. Withers. Thes remaining' offices; were filled with ; wireless nsed-and: ere the sun had reached the line that--brings the night, the court room was deserted, Col. Jake sat in his office, looking out upon the street, pondering in his se clusion what mighty deeds had been wrought. CASTOR 1 A Tor Infants and Children.
