ST. SEEMS . that - when Dewj
. said in ; Greensboro -' the olhet
day that it did not , take a man of
"ranch sense to be a President, ho was
not joking bo much as we thought
ne was. f or witmn iwemy-iour
boars after tbe utterance in Greens
boro b e said the same thing in New
York and followed the statement by
declaring himself a candidate for the
Domination ,i for the,. Presidency.
Well. There will , be a bigger sink
ing of hopes in hislbeart before be is
much older than there was of the old
rickety ships in Manila by two
years ago, if he means ' the thing in
earnest. ? Dewey has played his little
part and has. stepped off the boards,
and he had better not return for the
enohore. In the first plice, Pewey
could not for the life of him, decide
whioh party he would look lo for the
nomination, and he hsu) no settled
convictions on the issue of the day.
His only statement in regard to bis
policy, being that he would obey tbe

a pretty mess he would make of it
Tbe truth is, he expects to ride into
office on the strength, of his morning's
work over at Manila, and is going
to find that his steed will buck worse
than a mustang when he starts for
the White House, foe the American
people are rshsood to forget as they
are ready 'to applaud, '

ing to light to show, that instead of
the ministry beine strictly the med
iums and members of the Lowly
Nazarihe and the church his sacred
tabernacle, it often becomes the sub
terfuge of Satan, and instead of the
voice of God, and the' prophet, it is
often the braying ass we hear, and
instead of the holy sanctuary it is a

There is no discussion going on in
the Fifth District, as to who shall be
the nominee of the Democratic party
for Congressman from- that district,
for there is no discussion needed.
Hod. W. W.iKitchin has so endeared
himself to the people of his district
that it, would 'not only be an impos
sibility for the Republicans to' defeat
him, but it would be an impossibili
ty for another man to be nominated
in his stead, on the Democratic tick
et. We love Mr. Kitohin for bis
pureness of character, for bis noble
official record, his political record,
end for his gentlemanly principles
in general. Hon. W. W. Kitchin

the Fifth District to succeed him
