TOO MUCH.
When She Said "raters," It Wu More Thaa
He Could Stud.
Xlght had come again gentle, peaceful
Bight. The mocking bird hid his head be
neath his -wing and slept, while the firefly
got out and began to hustle to make up
for lost time, and bugs as big as hunks of
mud went booming around In search of
prey. Under the apple trees in full blos
som was stretched a $2 hammock bought
on the installment plan, and in this ham
mock reclined the aristocratic Evylyn
Throckmorton. She was not alone. Be
side her stood the puije proud Carlyle Stan
hope. It made his tired knees wabble to
be standing around there, but he gave no
sign. He came of a race which would per
ish on the spot, but never crawfish. Be
sides he was there that evening to ask and
receive the answer to a question which had
a tremendous Dearing on nis iuture. is
was not to ask her hand in marriage.
That he had already done weeks before,
and after ascertaining that be never de
scended to attend such vulgar events as
spelling schools, husking bees and 'lasses
candy pulls she had placed her happiness
In his keeping.
On the wings of rumor, flying through
the air unseen, had come to him a state
ment that stabbed him llkeacarving knife
just sharpened up by a grinder. He would
not believe it. It was too improbable, too
monstrous, too fiendish for credence. And
yet he could not throw it into the waste
basket and go on living, as an editor does
a 40 rod poem. He could not rest content
until her own ruby Hps had affirmed or
denied the rumor. And so, as he -stood
beside her in the softness of the summer
corners of the auditorium cainej
demands for "Three cheers for
Hill." Pandemonium reigned for
at least five minutes.
Senator Hill stood pale and
motionless, one hand resting on
the table, until the applause had
subsided, and then at 1.20 p. m.
began to speak, partially extem
pore and partially from notes.
He said.-
"Our opponents, by the vigor

It is true that there was
a vexatious and unfortunate del-
lay, which we regi-etted, occasi
oned in part by the antiquated
rules of the Senate which tole
rated unlimited debate rules
which we did not frame but
which we inherited, and which,
by reason of our slender major
ity, we seemed unable to change,
but which I trust in Ihe near fu
ture will be abrogated; but the
fact should be remembered that
the record shows that we occu;
pied less time by some months in
repealing the law than our op
ponents took in enacting it in
1890.
"Never did a political party
assume the responsibility of gov
ernment under greater einbarras-
of battle against us. Democratic
national- and State administra
tions must alike be loyally sup
ported. ,The American people
have changed their sentiments,
and the sound and cherished
principles of true Democracy
will still receive their approval:
because the Democratic cause is
the cause of the people. .
The Administration of Presi
dent Cleveland has been clean
handed, economical, painstaking
and patriotic. The various de
partments of the National Gov
ernment have boen conducted
with success, and the Democratic
party as a whole is entitled to the
confidence of the masses of peo
ple whose interests its endeavor
is faithfully to serve. The ad
minstration of our State Govern
ment under Democratic auspices
has merited the public approval.

attention from the inevitable
record which they made during
their recent four year's control
of the Federal Government. The
people, however have not for
gotten the fact that it was a Re
oublicau administration that
saddled the country with unwise
and vicious legislation, which
has since crippled its prosper
ity, endangered its finances and
argumented its public burdens.
The people remember that the
Sherman silver bullion purchase
law was the product of Republi
can statesmanship against the
enactment of which every Dem
ocrat in Congress voted a meas
ure fraught with injury to the
business interests of the country
based upon no just or sound
principle of finance, converting
a constitutional money metal
into a commodity, hastening us
to a single, rather than a bi
metallic standard, and weaken
ing our national credit at . home
and abroad.

will you?"
'Of course not What is it?"
"Eva, darling, suppose you weie at the
dinner table. Suppose you were very, very
hungry. Suppose you wanted some more
mashed tubers. What would be your form
of asking for theni?"
"Carlyle Stanhope, are you toying with
young girl's heart?" she fiercely demand
ed as she glared at him through the dark
ness. 'Oh, no, no! Heaven forbid!" he feel
ingly exclaimed.
"Mcbbe you think I would commit a
fox pass?"
" Never! Such a base thought never en
tered my mind. It is simply to decide a
wager, you know. Forgive me, darling,
and we will let the subject drop."
"No, we won't!" she resolutely replied
as she sat up in the hammock and looked
at him in o dangerous way. ''If I were
eating at table where they had taters,
mashed or whole, baked or fried, and I
wanted s'more, I think I have sense
enough to ask. Explain your conduct,
lr!"
"Taters!" he faltered as his face
turned as white as snow.
'Yes, taters! You don't suppose I'd ask
for codfish, do you?"
A wild, weird shriek leaped out on the
circumstances, with a slender
majority in the Senate, unwieldy
majontyjm thc.House; with timid
ity to contend, witn on one nana
and radicalism on the other;
with a country impatient for
prom lit action; with somewhat
divided counsels among our
selves, it is not to be wondered
at that the measure of revision
which was finally passed by the
Democratic majority, and which
is now submitted to the judgment
of the country, does not in all re
spects meet the public expecta
tions.
Without retracting a single
word which I uttered in the Sen

while ciirared in the effort to
perfect it and render it more ac
ceptable, now that it has been
rassed and . permitted by the
President to become a law, it
must be considered as a whole,
treated largely as a party meas
ure contrasted with the Mc
Kinley law, which place it assu
mes on the statute books. Unin-
fluenced by any personal disap

of the measure as it is

The movement on the part of
Grant et id, &c, to fuse with the
Pops has not met with favor
among the large majority of the
Rermblicans in this county. The

Rhodes, Napoleon Hagans, Geo

Dillard and others, who" stand for
the organization aud principles of
their party, are opposed to fus

convened his meeting he found
himself without a sufficient fol
lowing to accomplish his nefai
ious treachery against his own
party, and finding this to be the
case he resorted to high handed
measures. He called the delegates
into caucus, but the majority of
the caucus was against him, and
although he pounded upon the
table with a broken chair-round
vigorously and endeavored to
drown the voices of those de
manding to be heard in the inter
est of party, organization and
principles, he could not succeed'
they would not be downed.
Finally he vacated the chair, and
going down to one of his "trust
ed" he gave him the "slate" and
told him to "get up and nomi
nate that ticket'', he then hurried
back to the chai; his "trusty"
rose and put in nomination
"Moses B, Farmer for Sheriff; J.

Chairman Grant seconded and

to achieve the success of the
ticket it has nominated.
The Messenger Opera House,
m which the convention was
held, has a capacity of near if
not fully 2,000, and this vast hall,
its wings and galleries, was
crowded to standing room to ac
commodate the great multitude
of Democrats that assembled
from all sections of the
to renew their allegiance to the
party that is to-day the cham

Prior to the formal convening

from that mountain avalanche of
Democracy, Hon. K. B. Glenn,
of Winston, who for nearly two
hours so demonstrated the
achievements of Democracy dur
ing the past 18 months, under
President Cleveland's adminis
tration, and made so plain the
route by which the Populist lead
ersambitious for office are
conducting their deluded follow
ers into the Republican ranks,
and recalled with such force and
appalling truth, the odious rec
ord of the Republican party, that
many in his audience who had
thus far acted of late with the
Populists, but who had formerly
been Democrats, resolved then
and there to return to the party
of their first love the Demo
cratic party the party of the
people, from the people and for
the people. It was a great speech.
No pen can do it justice nor por
tray its effect upon his vast au
dience as it fell like thunderbolts
of conviction from the impass
ioned lips of tho eloquent and
intrepid speaker.
Immediately after Mr. Glenn's
speech Mr. N. O'Berry, chair
man of the County Democratic
Executive committee, called the
convention to order, and Mr. D.
M. Hardy was requested to act
as temporary secretary. The
roll ot townsuips was called, ana
a full delegation, from every
township and precinct respond

eady for business. The tempo

manent, on motion,- and the
members of the Democratic press
of the city were requested to as
sist the secretary m the clerical
work, and nominations were de
clared in order.
It is needless to go through in

bad instanced many living examples of
failure in that direction, was so impru

a tragedy himself. In the preface he
boasted that he, of all dramatists, bad
"most scrupulously observed the rules
of Aristotle, whose inspiration ho had
followed !" To this it was replied by on
who had suffered from his criticism, "I
do not quarrel with the Abbe d'Aubig

Aristotle, but I cannot pardon the pre
cepts of Aristotle that caused the abbe
Not Even Angry.
There is the ticket! Looked
at from every point ot yiew;
analyzed by sections; scrutinized
as to the individuals that com
