time foes and we eaa but feel that coo-
ditions are very greatly in favor of their
success. But tne Republicans may be
depended on to open tteir barrels at the
polls and we will surely have to fight if
we l ope to ns.
While the battle of ballots in other
states and districts is in doubt there can
be none in our own, Georgia will send
eleven good Democrats to the national
Legislature and the Second district can
be depended on to roil up a handsome
majority for Judge Griggs, who hog been
renominated for a second term by his
Democratic constituents. There is one
thing, however, against Which we must
guard. While it is certain that the ma¬
jority of votes east in tho district will be
for the Democratic nominee, it should
not bo forgotten that a mere majority is
needed. We want to see such a shower
of Democratic ballots poor fourth from
Terrell to Decatur and from Berrien to
Early as will snow under our hereditary
political foes so deep that the sun of fur¬
ther ambition can never again warm
them up to the point of placing another
Congressional candidate in the field.
Even though ho knows that victory is
certain, it in the duty of every Democrat
to go to the polls and cast his ballot.
The Herald therefore appeals to all loyal
members of the party to go early to the
polls on the 8th of November and to
make it a poiat, at the same time, to re¬
mind as many of his neighbors as possi¬
ble that they, too, have a duty to per¬
form whioli they cannot afford to neg.

academy, on receiving a portrait,
unaccompanied by name or letter,
of a beautiful boy with a squirrel ii:
his band. All he could Bay was that
the painter roust bo on American,
for tho wood on which the canvas
was stretched was American pine,
and the squirrel was bUcL as is found
only in American forests.

Singleton t^opley, a Boston
fco y who . w,thout ‘'MtTOOtlOD, with
out even, as he himself aver9, hav-
tng seen a decent picture till ho left
America, had produced a piece ot
work that, contrary to all rules and
precedents, was at once given an
honored place in the academy exhi¬
bition.
Encouraged by West, Copley set
tied in London. Ho intended that
hia son, who bore the same name,
should also be a painter, but the boy
had other ambition. He would not
be known as the son of “Copley, the
painter. ” Tho world should rather
speak of “Copley, the father of tho
lord chancellor."
The way to that eminence lay
through tho law, but success tamed.
At last came to tho young barristof
a case of great importance, relating
to a spinning jenny. Finding that
be could not, from a mere descrip¬
tion, fully understand tiia points of
tho case, Copley went to Notting¬
ham. His client explained the prin¬
ciple of tho machine till at length,
impatient at his listener's apparent
indifference, be exclaimed:
"What is tbe uso of talking to
you 8 I have been trying this
hour to make you understand, and
you pay me no attention I”
In reply Copley went into tbs
whole question, showing suoh a
mastery of it in every detail that his
client was astonished. Finally, seat
ing himself at the machine, the at*
torney turned out an unexception¬
able example of bobbin net lace.
Subsequently, in court, hia explana¬
tions tver© illustrated by tho actual

mately rose as three times lord chan-

He did not forget that he Was an
American by birth. §cupulonsly
careful of the feelings of others, ho
was keenly alive to any lack of cour¬
tesy toward himself. On one occa¬
sion, having expressed some opinion

“Pray, my lord, when did you
