The good - forj-nothing.1
rem the shores of Lake Winnipeg r
to tiiu llockv Mountain?, from thu <
<:>toau of tho Missouri to the North
rtukatobawan, la every oamp and
cabin, the name of Louis Lachance was
fraught with pleasant momorles to tho
NMHy. The exceptions were thoae fejp
who had not at some time danced a
long winter's night away, in lively jigs
or merry rools-of-four, to the inspir
ing melody of hie fiddle, who had not
. listened bpoll-hound as he sang, in half
- reeltative, gomo old-time legend of La
IJobo Franco, or laughed, till they
cried, at his droll stories reeled otf
over the oamp tiro, on tho maroh, or in
some snug winter post.
Louis was a good-for-nothing, as even
those who loved him had to acknow
ledge. Ho was a wanderer of wan
derers : here to-day, away to-morrow,
ever on thoraovo; tripping, trading,
driving dogs, fishing, hunting, freight
ing, trapping, a handy man in oamp, in
the woods, In boat or eanoo, or on the
plains, at home?everywhere A fear
less rider, a skilful dog-driver, a trusty
guide, an expert gamhlcr, an Inlmita-1
bio raconteur, a ruro good llddlor, a
tippler on occasion, and withal a jovial
poor soul whoso ubuudunt good quali
ties ouU.uinbored tho bad in hie oddly
equipped personality. Tho men pre
tended to despise him when romoved
from tho influenco of his Irresistible
good humor, the women scolded and
potted him by turns, tho girls adtnirod
him in Beeret, and tho children wor
shipped him. Tho hero of many an
unenviable oxploit ?of duties negleotcd
or promises forgottou, but never guilty
of tho meanness of theft or criminal
untruth?there came a day when Louis
found himself in > ad disgrace.
He had joined tho autum brigade of |
buffalo hunters that started westward
from tho Red River every mid-sum
mer and?just as their hopo of secur
ing a winter's supply of moat and a
rich booty of robes was on tho point of
fruition?had committed an act which
in Its very thoughtlessness, transcended
ull his past sins and.culled for condign .
punlshmont.
The laws of tho half-breed hunters
of tho plains were contained in an un
Written code, whos.0 " shalt not's" woro
few and easy of comprehension, but
their observauco wus rigorously en
forced) and punishment for tho infrac
tlOQ was immediate and severe. The |
penalty varied with tho degreo of
guilt, and ranged from tho l"ss of tho
Offender's saddle, bridle, c. coat, toi
flogging, and, in oxtremo cuses, banish- j
raent from tho brigade Louis' crime
foil within the last category.
One evening the scouts roportcd a
great herd of buffalo three hours
ahead of tho advancing brigade. Camp
made at onco, sentries posted, and
strict silonco enjoined upon all. Thon,
after long hours of nervous alertness,
the hunters sped swiftly and silently
away, before dawn, to tho mighty deed
of slaughter, which was to mark tho
birth of the now day. Tho ridors
spread out in a long lino to right and
left as they advanced, und at length
crested the summit of a raogo of low
lylng hills that bounded ono sido of
the valley, in which tho unsuspeoting
prey were grazing peacefully. From
tho height they overlooked u broad
depression whoso further limit of en
circling hills was alroady madoglorious
by the opalescent tints of the rising
sun; beneath them flouted a cloud of
quivering, undulating, snowy mist
that hid the valley's bottom and shut
from their view tho thousands of wild
oattlo, whoso presence was, neverthe
less, triade certain by tbo uiuflii?
snorts and low bellowiug that reached
tholr ears through tho evanescent cur
tain.
A sign from Picrro Delormo, the
captain, brought the lino to a halt;
tho hunters mado hasty preparations
for the grand ob arge?loosening their
powder-horns, lining thoir mouths
with bullets, and adjuatiug cinches
and saddles?all oyes wore lixed ou
Pierre, whoso signal " Ho 1" should eet
them charging madly ou the herd. At
tbo supreme moment an eaglo came
Eoaring over tho valloy, Louis's guu j
rang out, and tho bird tumbled, a dis- i
bevelled bulk, through tho Biartled
air. In an instant tho distant hill
tops wero black with lieoiug buffaloes.
? Up from tho mist thoy roso liko sea
monsters from the waves, and wero olT
ovor tho divide, tho earth vibrating
beneath tho shock of tho myriad h??fo.
The hunters charged, but too late ; all
that was left for**-tboir ballots and
knives were tbo poor outcasts ano
. strays?the sick, disabled, or weaklings
\J-'^di8tanced"or injured in tho blind mad
rush for life.
Conscience-stricken and heavy
hearted, Louis picked up tho dead
eaglo and returned to camp. Ho made
full confobslon of his fuult, but ex
pressed no bopo of pardon and offered
no excuse. Tho women aud old men
heaped reproaches upon him : exhaust
ing a vocabulary rich in that depart
ment, In variegated abuse of himtelf
and his ancestry. The unfortunate bird,
tho cause of it ail, wus flung on tho tiro?
a burnt offering to their outragod feel
ings?and Louis might have shared Its
fato If somo of tho iiercost could have \
had thoir will of him.
"Oh! tho accursed good-for-noth
ing!" yelled old liaptisto Charet'.o,
the oldest man in tho camp. " Figure
to yourself, wo others with our women
and children, rendered destitute by
this pig of a Louis, who, to feed bis
vanity, makes to run tho whole herd
that wo had so much pain to arrive at!
Aw, it's a little too much ! It's in
famous ! infamous!"
"My poor boy," said PcroT^uohuiso,
" how did It come that thou couldot
mako a stupidity like that ?"
" I know not, my father ; perhaps it
^ was the Devil who tompted me." Then,
; after apauSo, "Mario Ducharme askeu
me to get her some eaglo's feather.-,
and what would you, 'twas tho first
saglo that I met."
" Aha ! It was that llttlo dirt of a
j Mario, with her boads, and hor quills,
and her feathers, and ?11 her shop-!
ful of nonsense; 'twas sho who had'
turned the boy's head and mado him a ;
good-for-nothing, fiddling rascal like
herself. Aha, tho little cat!"
The storm of feminine wrath was
diverted to poor Marfo, who sobbed
bitterly as it broke on her in shrieking
fury, for It was her fortuno to bo
p/etty, and her sisters held her In
esteem or hato according to the degree
In which her good looks equaled or
surpassed thoir own ; and tbo majority
of them were iiopolessly plain. Louis
made a bravo attempt to defend his
awoethoart, and his doQart attitude
"*^and voice raised in anger told heavily
sgainat him with tho exasperated
hunters, returning from their profit
less ohase, for thoy mistook his de
meanor for one of truoulent eolf-vlndl
cation.
A court was hastily organized. The
culprit waited examination and offered
no defence.
"I do.not wish to dofend myself,"
he said resignedly. "It is but anothnr
- of my fool tricks, whloh I regret very
. much. Do to mo as you will. I merit
and deslro to bo punished."
The sentence?twenty-five lashoB
? and banishment from the brigade
was carried out forthwith, amid tho
tears and Wallings of the women and
children, whose appeals for mercy
wore in vain. Louis nover fllnohod
beneath the laeb, but when the little
- ones flocked about him with farewoll
kisses, he broko down and wept like
one of themselves.
"Adieu, my dear little friends,
adieu ! Prey to the good Ood for mo.
And you others, I only ask that you
forgot my fault. Your blessing, my
father." Ho knolt a miaute before tho
priest, thon vaulted Into his saddle and
ro lo rapidly away.
The outcast shaped his course north
westward, ?? the drew file* intending
to make tbo Hotticmcot at Edmonton,
uu Hi*. North Saskatehawaa. Ills rond
luy all before him, for the gr.-at plains
were w? familiar to blm as the stroots
of a city aro to its Inhabitants. Hie
back throbbed and smarted from the
lashes he had received, but the greater
smart was within. Every fiber of his
moral being tingled with the disgrace
that had been put upon him, and ho
resolved to bury himself fwrevor in
some far-oir corner of tho north coun
try, where, perohanoe, the story of his
shame might not penetrate.
On tbo third day of his solitary ride
ho sighted the 'Wasoana crook, and
doted three Indian lodges standing on
its bank. A couple of starved dogs
howled dismally as he drow near, but
no smoke or othor sign of life was ap
parent. Ho hailed la Cree ; silonoe,
save for tho mournful whining of the
dogs, that now slunk whimpering
ubout his horse's foot. He advanced
cuutloualy, puzzled at the unoanny ap
pearance of-thiogs. and became con
scious of an ollenslvo odor that grew
more pal pa hl e a t every step. Alarmed,
und intensely oxcited, ho leaped to tho
ground and strodo swlfty to the door
of tho nearest teppee. Horror I With
in lay live swollen corpses?a man, a
woman and three children?Bmall-pox 1
He turned to My from the plag um
stricken place, but a feeble moan, so
faint as to be almost inaudible, ar
rested him. Ho listened intently.
" Water."
Ob, the pitiful pleading conveyed in
tbat ono simple word?who could resist
It? In an instant Louis had forgotten
his terror, his danger, bis diBgust,
everything except tUat a' fellow-crea
ture was in dire distress In less time i
than it takes to rocord tho good Joed, [
he was tenderly supporting the poor,
fever stricken form, while holding a
precious, life-giving draught to the
swollen Hps.
Tho survivor of the camp was a
young Croc woman. Sho had nursed
tho others while her strength lasted,
and theo, overcomo by the pestilonco,
had lain down to die. When Louis
found her, tho disease had run its
course, and thanks to tho ttmoly oup
of cold water and his alter good ollluos,
her Ufo was saved. Ho made n shelter
of willow branches near the water's
edgo, towhioh bo removed his patient,
makiug nor a comforivtb.o bed of grass
and leaves, ovor which ho spread his
own blunkots. Thou he set about dis
posing of the dead. Ho burned tho
toppoes aud their contents, and man
aged, with infinite toil?an axe being
tho only tool available to scoop out tho
trench ie which ho depositeu tho poor
semblances of humanity?cloven in
number. His eelf-iinposed task was
loathsome in tho extreme, and when it
wus completed ho felt sick and ex
I hausted.
He learned from the young woman,
who was rapidly regaining strength,
that she und her companions hau
formed udo of a number of small parties
iuto which the main camp of tbo Crecs
had broken up when tho disease ilrst
attacked them, hoping In that way to
avoid contagion. It was bcliovea to
; havecomu to them through tho Blood's
1 and Sarcoee, from tho Wood Mountain
1 country, where it w as said to bo raging,
i Ho heard her story with groat con
i corn. Ho knew that tho hunters wero
I following the buffalo to tho southwest,
' which would lead them directly to tho
very source of tho disease. If, happily,
I thoy had thus far oscaped falling in
i with any of tho fugitives, who were
j llcuing in all directions from tho dread
j pestilonce, there might oven yet bo
I tlmo to save tbo brigade by turning
I thorn back to tbo settlement. Ho was
! sick. Iiis bones were raokod with
p un. ma head splitting, his eyes burn
ing, his throat pitrohud, his stup heavy
and uncertain, but, no matter, ho would
make the attempt. Tho woman dis
suaded him.
" Stay, my brother. It is not in theo
to do what thou wouldst. Tbo bad
sickness is upon thee, oven now, and
before thou hast ridden far, ttiu blind
ness will come, and who then will lead
theo to tbo peoplo ? Stay, I will euro
for theo wnen thy strongth leaves
and wheu it returns, wo will go to
gether and warn tho nuotors."
lb; would leston to neither argument
nor uppoal ; his resolve was taken and
ho would carry it out or die. So ho
mounted his horde uud.sof. hVs ? htce
^uath'war'i. H ... thought was to head
off the brigade ou tho trail which ho
felt bure thoy wero following, and post
up a warning that they would bo sure
; to fiud. If bo could only succeed, what
would tho rott matter, tie had lived
I too long. The day of his disgrace
saould have been his lust, but if ho ac
complished his present purpose, and
saved his dear little child friends and
their good mothers, and Mario?his
Marie?his lifo hud been well expend
ed. Weak und post-sirickun as ho
vvas, ho urgod his horso forward, tak
ng no heed of time, unless to curse
toe lagging moments when ho was
! forced to stay his ruce with death to
i rest and feed bis trusty broncho. Ho
j dared not ?leop. Wnon not in tho
saddle, ho forced his trembling limbs
to bear him to and fro, to and fro?a
weary picket repel Hug tho advance of
ambush of death. At times foarful
shapes appeared in hia pathway, sur
rounded, pursued him ; fiendish voices
whispered threats of numeless horror,
shrieked raaledletloiiB, or mocked him
with hellish laughter, but still ho rodo
southward, numbed and unconscious of
physical pain, possessed and sustained
by one lleroo, eager longing that
usurped all other sensations. How
long and how far he rodo ho know not.
Tho horse, Hogged and forced to tho
limit of ondurancc, fallerod in hia
stride and gave signs of collapse, as
ono morning utsunriso ho toiled weari
ly to the summit of a little bill that
overlooked tbo Wood Mountain trail.
Tho poor brute stopped ou tho bill-top
uud uttered a loud noigb that roused
his master from tho stupor into which
ho hud fallen. An an wering neigh
came up from the valley, and raising
himself painfully upright, I-uns saw,
through ahleod-rcd mist, two mounted
men approach log rapidly?tho advance
guard of tno brigade.
" Ho, Hothoy hailed as thoy
oamo uearor. But, holy uamu, It's
Louis ! Ho, ho, boy, what aro you
doing tbero !*'
" Stop," ho shrieked, "stop for your
lives! Tho post?tho smuil-pox?is
everywhere on tho plains! To the
camp] Back! To tho sottlementI Toll
Mar?" His voloo died away in a
groan, and be foil from his saddle,
Inert and lifeless. Tho horso, freed
from his woight, made an attornpt to
join his fellows, but the hunters shot
htm dead and rodo away toward oamp,
as if pursued by demons, shouting tho
warning as they went??' Tho small
pox I The small-pox !"
#??*##
"God be praised. The fever has
him ; ho will live."
The words spokon in a low, familiar
voioo, greeted .Louis' ears, roused from
unconsciousnose, as it seemed to him,
by the presuro of a soft, cool hand on
his forehead. He opened his <?.>
wearily, and they rested upon tho
kindly face of Fere Lach also, smiling
down into them, and?beside it another
faco, beaming with lovo and now-born
hope?Mario's.

The Democratic Nominee Grows Stronger
Every Day. ?

The New York World Begins !
to See Light.
Fusion Has Given a Blaok Eye * to Mc
Kinley.
Special to the Atlauta Conatitution.
Chicago, Ootober 2 ?The most en
couraging news has come from all
points to tho Democratic headquarters
during tho past week. The outlook
is hotter today than it has been at any j
time since Bryan's nomination. Tho
Democratic cause has mado tremen
dous strides in the* middle Western ?
States?the fighting ground of this
campaign.
The Democratic campaign fund has
been largely increased and the manag
ers aro now flooding these middle
Western States with quantities of
literature- and posters, ail which are
having good t-?Y-ot. Sonator Jones has
just returned from the east after a con
ference with Senator Gorman and Sena
tor Faulkner and brings the most en
couraging nows. It Is the Republican
I programme to buy these middle Wes
tern StatoB, but tboy can't do it. Thoy
I may pay for several hundred thousand
, rotes, but. under the Australian ballot
system, thoy havo no assurance of the
delivery of the sumo.
Unless all signs fail Illinois will bo
found in the Democratic column on tho
third of November. A special p ill of
the State mado by the 11 anna com
mittees gives tho Democrats tho State
outside of Cook County. Tho realiza
tion of this on tbo part of tho Republi
cans has caused constornatlon at the
Hanoa headquarters and they aro mak
ng tremerdous efforts to carry Cook
County. But tboy can't do it. Every
labor organization in the olty is sup
porting the Democratic ticket, and
almost every labor leader is on tbo
stump for Bryunand free silver. These
mon without exception predict a Demo
cratic majority of 30,000 in Cook Coun
ty. True, many workingmon in largo
factories aro woarlng McKinley badges,
but they aro reporting to tholr or
ganizations that thoy wear them in
order to keep their jobs; that they
will vote for Bryan on election day.
Of all the great newspapers in Chi
cago but one is supporting Bryan.
That is an afternoon paper and it is
doing good work. The morning pa
pers and the other afternoon papers
are vicious In tholr antagonism ; so vi
cious ludeed that they will not print
news which is tho least favorable to tho
Democratic candidate.
While these papers aro for McKinley
and tho gold standard, 80 percent, of
tho mon who are working on thom aro
for Bryan. Tho Democratic press com
mittee ha.s<just mado a poll of tho edi
tors, reporters and prlntorsof tho live
great morning newspapers of Chicago
with tbo following result : Bryan,
317 ; McKinley, 44. This is a correct
poll, and at tho same timo not a word
favorable to the Bryan candidacy is
ever printed in any of tho papers. If
tho mon on the groat papers which aro
oxerting all efforts to tho election of
McKiuley aro themselves" not con
vinced by the arguments thoir employ
ers forco them to print how can tho
general public bo V
Phillip Armour, tho great pork pack
or, erected an Australian ballot booth
In his 6tock yards last week In order
to test tbo sentimont of bis employees.
Ho had boasted that 90 per cont. of tho
men In his employ wore for McKinley,
and ho mado a bet that it would be so
proven on election day. In order to
decide tho bet bo erected the booth
that It might be proven that no effort
would bo mado to coerce his mon.
When tho day was over 800J>aJJ.Qts
had been put-ifi ^belWxTbi which (575
VVoto ior Bryan and 125 for McKinley.
This was a complete knock-out for
Armour. He paid the bet and has
given up the fight. He told Hanna
that it was no use, things were all one
way. And ho now declares that if
othor big concerns that havo taken
ballots from thoir men would givo
them the privilege of tho Australian
booth thoy would find a similar stato
of affairs existing among thoir em
ployes.
Tho Republicans are going to havo a
big labor parado on tbo ninth of Octo
ber. Porhaps every omployo of every
big manufacturing concern In Chicago
will be In that parade. They will bo
forced into it. Thoy havo boon ordered
to parado that day and carry McKiuley
banners or else not return to work tbo
following day. Those orders havo done
much to drive tho labor vote of Chicago
into the Bryan column. Theso mon
can be forced to parado, but they can
not be forced into dropping tbo McKin
ley ballot into the box whon they are
within the inolosuro of tho Australian
ballot booth where no one under the
sun except themselves can tell for
whom thoy vote.
Addod to the attempt at coereoment
Hanna proposes to buy votes. He is
trying to work tho game in these
States that Chris Mageo attempted in
tho last presidential campaign. It will
bo remembered that Mageo wont to
Birmingham and paid for 50,000 votes.
After making the purchase ho reported
Alabama In the Republican oolum?;
but on election day to his surprise h?
fourd that tho men he had bought
did not stay bought. This Is aoout tbo
way Hanna will find it up hero. Ho
may buy votes but thoy won't stay
bought.
To sum up tho situation, tho outlook
at tho clo?o of Soptomber is of tbo
most satisfactory oharactor to the De
mocratic managers. The silver causo
.has received a markod impetus during
the last ton days. Prom every State
news has coino that tho farmers aro
now unanimously under tho Bryan
?taudarJ, while in the cities tho labor
voto. will bo almost solidly cast for the
Mil vor nominee for President.
A poll of Kansas has just been com
pleted by tho allied freo silV9r forces
It shows that ? tbo Bryan electors will
havo 50,000 majority in that Stato.
A similar poll of Kentuoky shows
that Brvah's majority will not be loss
than 30,000. ft is estimated that 10,000
silver Republicans will voto for Bryan,
whilo tho bolting gold Demorats in
that Stato aro estimated to be rot ox
ooedlng 10,000. Republicans who aro
wun us win en ot tno faimor and
Duoknor Domoorats and win the Stato
by tho usual majority.
Fusion between tho Domocrats, Popu
lists, Prohibitionists and silver Republi
cans has boon consummated in Mlohl
(fan, the result of which will glvo the
Stato to the i) onocratlo candidate by
not Iobs than 30,000 majority.
? A pod from Iowa shows that Stato
to bo, Bafo by 25,000 Democratic ma
jority. In the agricultural countlos
from 20 to 30 per eont. of tho Republi
can votes will be cast for Bryan.
The most remarkable news ooines
from Ohio. A caroful Democratlo poll
has been mado of that Stato and our
people doolaro that Mr. Bryan will
carry It liy not loss than 25.000 majority.
Thh teems a icmarkablo statement,
yot tho Demoorutic managers doolaro
that a careful and comploto poll has
been made of every county in the State
with thin rosult.
Minne ,old is now conccdod to tho
Domocrats by the Ropublloan campaign
managen.
The Republican managers are ur-1
Joubtodly on the i-jd. "Hot one word
if encouraging news hao been Riven
>ut from tholr headquarters within
Lho pwt two woeke. it' is said thoy
liavo received none. On the other hand
the polls they havo .endeavored tu
make from tbo mlddlo Western States
Aro all against them. Their only hopo
Is that thoy can buy these Statoe.
It is possible that we will lose in
?liana. Some of tho Demooratloin that
State are to bo disposed to trade off
tho national ticket for tholr State ?
ticket. Tho complications in Indiana |
are as serious as those in New York.
But neither Indiana nor New York is
necessary to elect Mr. Bryan. Without
either State ho will have nearly 300
electoral votes, while only 224 are ueo*
cessary to elect.
The ProfcrcMA of Fusion ts Putting
No Mm Into M<-Kin ley's Coffin.
The New York World has boon
steadily assuring the country of Bryan's
defeat, but it is beginning to talk dif
forently as the campaign draws to a
oloso:
Boneath tho noise and smoke of the
eampaign the quiet, steady progress of
fusion recorded from time to time iu
a paragraph hidden among columns
of political speeches has attracted
little attention. Yet It now presents
a very different aspect from that of a
few weeks ago. Then Republican hope
was high on account of Democratic
and Populist dissensions. Now that
hopo has dwindled to a fow faiut and
fading glimmers from a fow States that
are normally Democratic by largo ma
jorities.
Fusion ha? to a reasonable certainty
added Alabama, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Carolina and Tennessee?52 elec
toral votes?to the 45 electoral votoB
of Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho. Mississ
ippi, Montana, South Carolina, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming that wero
already assumed to bo reasonably safo
for silver. It has presumably given
60,000 Populist votos in Illinois, 25,000
In Indiana, 30,000 In Iowa, 20,000 in
Kentucky, 40,000 iu Missouri, 80,000 in
Virginia and 85,000 in Minnesota to
wards making good the losses from tho
defection of sound money Democrats
and towards swelling tho accessions of
freo silver Republicans. Whllo it has
not yet boon consummated in Goorgiu
and Texas, thoso States aro anything
but certain for honest monoy. In
brief, fusion has mado it necessary
that thero shall bo enormous Demo
cratic defections from tho freo silver
tiokot if Mr. McKinley Is to have oven
a respectable majority of the electoral
votos. For oveu if ho gote ovory Stato
east of tho Mississippi and north of
tho Ohio and tho Potomac, which in
cludes Dolawaro and Maryland, aad
gets West Virginia also, ho neods two
votos to make tho necessary majority.
This is tho campaign at a glanco?
tho peril of froo silver's success, tbo
peril of froo silver's bare dofoat.
Supposo Mr. McKinley gets only
enough States to just oloct him, and
thoso States all in one section of the
country, what will bo the next result
of tho election? The silver horosy
will havo carried ten or a dozen more
States than did Mr. Harrison in 1892.
It will continue its absolute control of
tho Senate. It will control tho ma
chine of a national political party. It
will bo Intrenched as never before. It
will organize immediately for the con
gressional election two years honce
and for tbo Prosidency two years after
that.

Tho most enthusiastic political moet
Ing which has been held in Greenville
for a long time was tho gathering on
Tuesday night to form a Bryan and
Sowall campaign club. Prof. Hughes'
graded school band occupied tbo por
tico of tbo Record building in advance
of the hour for tho meeting, and the
strains of inspiring music brought a
largo crowd in that vicinity long before
tho timo camo for assembling lu the
. court bouse, which was quickly
j filled to overflowing soon after
eight o'clock. There woro a num
ber of persons present 'who live
on tbo outskirts of tho city, and
other evidences that this movement to
organizo a campaign club 'In honor o
the Democratic nominoos had struck a
popular chord in tho community. It
was also a pointed olTset to the lamo
effort which has been mado to organi/.o
a Palmer and Bucknerclub, and which
still hangs flro for tho lack of local
loaders and tho want of encouragement
among tho votors of tho city.
Tho mooting was organized, on mo
tion of Capt. A. Blytho, by calling Col.
S. S. Crittcndon to tho chair, and ho
was greeted with applnuso when he
faced tho 'argo andjcntbuslastic audi
enco. In his opening remarks Col.
Crittcndon said ho greatly approclated
tho honor In bolng ealled to presldo at

Tho chairman introduced as the first
speaker tho Hon. W. L. Mauldin, who
mado a cogent argumont in support of
tho Democratic platform and candi
dates, and hit a few sturdy blows at tho
boltors' ticket, for which ho saw no
oxcuso excopt that .its supporters uu
6lred to aid McKinley, whom thoy
dared not support openly. Gov. Maul
din was qulto severe upon Mr. Cleve

that he had a just right to criticise tho
prosont ocoupaut of the Whlto liouso,
as he had boon dcuoivod in the promisos
of tho last campaign. His speech was
frequently applauded, and overy refor

Tho noxt speaker was Mr. Josoph A.

the country is suffering, and rolievu
tbo depression in business, restore pros

speech was an able, dignified preseutu
tion of the freo silver argument, and
manifested his povors as a close roa
souor and logical speaker.
Hon. M. L. Donulduou introduced the
following preamble and resolutions,
which he said had been prepared with
great care by a committeo appointed
for that purpose, and which wore
adopted by a rising voto :

vital principles, purposes and doc

J. Opposition to tho prevailing tou

mental power.
2. Rigid adhoronco to tho principles
of local se'f-governmont and absolute

3. Unreserved and unqualified adhor

use of both gold and silver as tho money
motals of the nation.
4. Denunciation of tho act of 1873,
demonetizing silver without the knowl

5. Unqualilied disapproval of tho acts

this and other nations into financial

0. Demanding tho restoration of
bimetallism by opening our mints to

ratio of 16 to I under which this nation
and its people prospered from our earli

Whereas, while wo recognize the
right of every Democrat to hold and
maintain his individual opinions as to
details in matters of government, aud
upon tho principles and policies in
volved in this contest, wo nevertheless
hold and aflirm that it Is the solemn
duty of every Democrat to abide tho
action of tho majority of tho party.
This position wo ma ie. t.ain is truo Dem
ocratic doctrine. Tho past glorious
history of tho Democratic party and
its grandest achievements havo been
accomplished only by strict adherence
to this prinoiple. The questions at is
sue in this campaign woro first agita
ted and urged by tho people who com
pose tho Democratic party, and the
demands promulgated by the Chicago
convention are, therefore, tho demands
of tho people themselves. Tho results
of these deliberations have been differ
ent to what many staunch Democrats
have wished for, but it must ho remem
bered that these rosults are but tho
aggregated opinion of tho party, the
merging together of all individual
opinions and plans, all looking to the
one great end, tho welfare of tho whoie
people, and it is clearly tho bounden
duty of tho minority to sustain these
results as tho outcome of party consul
tation. Tho Democratic party has a
glorious future before it. As its high
principles and grand and noble pur?

Its adherents grow in number through

destiny is the final attainment Of tho
fullest measure of liborty and justice
to every citizen in tho land and tho

high purposes, espousing tho causo of
tho people, rises far higher than tho
exercise of individual opinions and
preferences. Ilunco tho patriotic rea

THK HORHOKS OF WAR.
A Federal Soldier Tells lit* Exporl
enco tn llartlc?lie Don't Want to
Shoulder a Musket Again.
Atlanta Journal.
A boy with a rifle and cartridge box
irot on the car tho other morning.
'? Fall in according to hoight, right
face !'' facetiously remarked a man who
used to drill ou the university campus.
'Fall In?" said a middle-aged man
with a gruff voice. I novor want to
'fall in' agaiu. 1 would rather fall
I out evory tlmo."
I could not help contrasting tho boy
and tho votcran. Hero wns tbo rosy
anticipation of youth sido by side with
prosaic, pessimistic and battlo-scarrcd
experience. The veteran seemed to
bo very much in earnest, aud I con
cluded to draw him out.
''That's vory nice for tho boys," said
he, " but war is horrible. Tho more I
paw of It tho worso It got. A boy of 18
goes into batUlo with fewer qualm
than a man of 30, who realizes the
danger, and it takes less grit for fresh
troops to staud firo than it does to keep
thorn there after they havo seen men
shot down aud mangled, lu my firrv
battle, i was without fear at tbo f At
firo. Frotty soon a comrade fell 6vcr
on my breast tho blood gushing from a
mortal wound and spattering all over
me. That mado mo weak. 1 wanted to
got out. Awhile afterward a sergeant
near m* was ntruck on tbo head by a
?olid shot. His brother close by was sput
tered with the poor fellow's brains and
some of them spattered me. Ugh !
It win horrible. I turned sick aud
faint."
I did not wonder that he didn't want
to fall in anymore. Hut this was, not
all of it.
" When you hear a man describe a
battle," said ho, "you may put it down
that ho wasn't iu it. It is impossible.
After a little while you can't soo 20
foot from you. You can't tell whether
your gun is firing. Tho roar of battle
drowns a single report, even from your
own gun. Tho rebound makes your
shoulder so numb that you can't feel
it." Our guns were muzzlod-loaders,
and sometimes they woro ball full of
loads. Tho soldier didu't know his
gun bad refused to Uro.
"Talk about manual of arms and
beautiful company movements," said
be, " they don't amount to tho snap of
my finger In battle. All you can do le
to kcop somewhere in lino and keep
on firing. You cau't sec far and you
can't, hear anything but the awful roar
of battlo. If a move is to bo made,
you get notice of it by motions, or by
seeing tbo men near you moving out,
and you got out a? quick as you can.
"This tain about a genoral loading
his moo ia buttle is all nonsense. If
tho nien saw a general in front of them
they wouldn't stay thero a minute.
They would know something was
wrong. The general has his headquar
ters Away hack perhaps a mile or two,
and there his nag is Hying, tlo must,
bavo a placo whero he can be found,
like the mayor of a city. Else It would,
be ijjjppjs?)le ^la-^WefuSri* when a
Hank is turned. I have been in many
a battle and never saw a general yet.
I havo seen brigadier generals, but
not a division or corps commander, or
tho general of an army. Thoy uro
away back in tho rear, whero they
ought to bo."
Tho votcrau had a personal experi
ence to relate. He was on tho Federal
side, and was one of thoso who charged
the Confedorate9 in the confusion im
mediately following tho explosion of
tho mine under the fort at Petersburg.
His account of the sensation of being
shot is an interesting one. "A sheet
of fire shot out from the opposite line,"
said he, "and live of us fell forward
at the samo instant. It was a rain of
bullets that cut us down. 1 was shot
in my leg, in my urm and In my bead,
li didn't 'know that 1 was shot, aud
thought that f had fallen down through
tho weakness of excitement. I was
numb, for the bullets struck tho bone
and paralyzed me, but 1 did not lose
my souses. Tho wounds did uot pain
mo, at first. In tho course of a half
hour, when the excitement had worn
Off, my wounds began to hurt. I did
not know that my log was shot till I
saw tho blood running out over my
shoo. A comrade who was badly
wounded tied a handkerchief around
my log and stopped the How of blood.
Hut for that I would havo died. While
I lay thero another shot struck mo in
tho side. It was two or three hours
beforo help came. I suffered groat
pain. I wanted water and I was death
iy^ sick. It vus a year after tho war
before I got well, and I carry a minnic
ball in my side to this day."
I thought ho had given mo enough
for a full realization of the horrors of
war, but he had ono more picture,
more moving still.
"Tho night beforo I was shot," said
he, " I weut on tho Hold and saw those
poor devils lying there. A boy of is
was crying tor his mother. Ob, the
pity of it! Then I realized that evorj
man thero was BOinobody'oSOU or some
