And yet the whole of the long article is an attack upou Cleveland, an argument against democratic success and an - attempt to show that the party J neither e<*n nor should triumph in j Dtx ? election. This is tbe way ^ Constitution has cf accepting inevitable defeat. It forced tbe is sne itseif. It challenged Senator Colquitt to go with it before the peo pie upon this issue, and made ready for battle with a mighty blare of trumpet and tbnmp of drum.

Near y the little folks went and had a most delightful time fishing and playing in tbe creek. Several of tbe young men went to tbe creek the night before and fished for the purpose of having a fisb fry at the picnic. They had very good luck fishing and everybody bad as many fisb as they could eat. About 3 o’clock tbe crowd began to return, and Josie Dunn came very ne.«r bav ing a serious accident. While com ing down a very steep bill, tbe horse became frightened, and began run ning and kicking. The wagon was crowded and Mr. Dunn bad his feet hanging over the front gate of the wagon and was kicked by the horse and then thrown from the wagon. He was badly braised up and has two or three cuts in tbe bead and face. The wounds are very painful, though not serious. J. F.
