NéTm;' <‘.¥3'JBatisfj,ofiim\‘ among ;he
N ¥ ork, Mrssgchusetts and ofh
# Wepublicimé and Independents,
s grown, Wil the boltors have
quite a following. The bolt may be
in earaest, and if it iy, the Demo
craty will surely be successful if
they lead their ticket with a good
won. As stated last week, Tilden
id entizely out of the vace, and the
Democrats have got to look for
some other leader, There had been
a number of delogates electod fron.
different states, and a majority
were instructed for Tilden without
a second choice. The most promi
nent candidates npw are Bayard
Cleveland and Flower, with the
chances, ;we think, decidedly in
tavor of the former. It'is reported
that Cleveland will get & majority
of the New York delegation, and
also some delegates from other
states. The bolting Republicans
say they will support Cleveland if
he is ngminated by the Democrats,
and we hope they are in earnest, if
Cleveland is the lucky man. We
‘were of the opinion at. first that all
this digsatisfaction among the Res
publican ranks was for “a‘purpose,
and we are not certain yet that
[thé’y would much rather beat the
Democratic {nominee thgn to beat
Blaine, Ere this time tnext week
lmost all the delegates will be
selected and we will know the lea
ders. We believe, since Tilden has
positively vefused to accept the
nomination, that Bayard is the
man. Tt is true that Cleveland car
ried New York onceby a very
large majority, but the question is
can he do it again, There seems to
have arisen quite an oppesition to
him there, which proves that he is
not as strong as he once was. But
we can cheerfully support him if
nominated, and think that he will
get the support of the sclid South.
The State Senatorship.
We clip the following compli
ment to our townsmem and much
esteemed citizen, from the Cedar
town Advertiser. It shows that Col.
Mcßride made a record, while he
represented this county, that can
not. ba quactinnad -
“According to the old rotation
rule, Haralson connty is entitled to
turnish the Senator from this the
38th Dist., in the coming race. The
friends of Hon, J. M. Mcßride have
urged it upon him to make the
race, and he has consented to do
sO. It is not yet known that he will
have any opposition, Mr. Mcßride
possesses excellent parts as a pub
lic man,having talents which have,
during his scrvices as a member of
the House, rendered him one of the
most congpicious of law makers
from this part of the Sfate. The so
licitations widespread among his
friends than they are deserving on
the part of Mr. Mcßride as & gen
tleman, and a capable, honest and
efficient public man. The people of
the district can hanor both him:
and themselyes by electing him.’

A correspondent of the Palmet
to Blade says that a colored man
caught, at one time, frecently, 300
fish, weighing 175 pounds. He
sold his fish for $175, or one dollar
per peund. If the Campbell county
people will give that price for fish,
all town loafers had better go into
the fishing business at once and
shipithem to Campbell county.

- A PARABLE. v
Dearly heloved and Reverend Father
Satan and brother Rumseller.— I
have just read your intercsting letters
in last week’s Banyer; and ag I amin
partngrship with you in your business
of ruining souls, and making money for
you, I will write a ghort lettex, giving a
sketch of my life, and present prospects.
It is needless for me to say that I
take my segt to writo yoy a few lines,”
for I am nearly always ynder the influ.
ence of liquor, and (imx‘d not stand to
write, if I desired to do so.
As youboth know, T began life with a
fine progpect for peace and plenty, |
I ccurted my sweet-heart before I be
came personajly acquainted with liquor,
1 use to tell my girl that I loved her more
than I did anyone els¢. So I won her
heart and hand, and we were married.
Those were joyiul hours to herand me.
Not long after .Q;Ui' marriage, [met a
friend of yours, a Mr. Dramdrinker,
who ingisted that I should take a} social
glass, telling me that it would do me
‘good. Well, sirs! you may not be sur
prised at my falling in love with rum;
but to my astoniahment, I now love
whiskey better than I do my family.
18 may sound strange, but you know
““‘deeds speak louder than words.”’
It has been several years since I took l
my first drink, aud now lam wore than
glad to break the heart of my wife for!
the sake of whiskey, I will give you my:
sentiments in few words: give me whis‘s;
key and you may have everything else
that belongs to me—money, home,
friends, health and goul, T am willing!
formy wife to weep hitter 4ears; that,
my children grow up in ignorance, and’
be clothed in rags; that my family be
always at the point of starvation—have
no house to call onr own—just so 1 get
‘the whiskey.
Dearegt hrother Rumseller :—You may.
live in luxury~own a fine dwelling,
drive fat stock, clothe and ghoe yuur'
children in the hest, and gend them to
school—all at my expense—while we
live in want—have no home of our own
—work poor stock—go harefooted and
clad in rags, and never send my children
to school. I noy promise, of my own free
will, to hring to yoy, at your barroom,
all that my wife, children and I can dig
out of the ground, ar make in any other
way,
In conclusion, a few wordsto Father
Satan :—You may confidently expect me
at your dismal den, just as soon as I can
drink enough liquor to burn me out in
the body; and not only thig,~when I
die, I will try to leave my children in
such circumstances. ag you may secure
their souls also. I will not leave them
enough money to bay themselves de
esowt cloThing to wear to Sunday schceol
or 1o chareh, and I think this will be the
surest way to secure their destruction.
Most devotedly yours,
RUMDRINKER.
P. S.—T owe what I 'now am to three
parties heside myself :—
Lst, Owr law-makers, who make it le
gal to _sell Tpoison so a man puts a lit
tle money in the treasury,
2d. To you, Bro. Rumseller; and
Srdly, To Mr, Dramd:inker, who told
me that whisikey would npt hurt me.
