Yes, when the rich corpor ations are notify ing them that if they s don't vote for the Major that their i places will be filled by laborers who m will vote for him. Under threats of I1 discharge, is the way they expect to em coutrole this large vote. Burk Cockran made a gold speech in New York on Tuesday night.

While the south was in the throes of a great agony the distin- t guished General was amusing him- c self hunting squirrels on the planta- r tation of his hospitable host near Greenwood. t - t The Democrats of Indiana, are claiming the State by a majority of 1 between 60,000 and 75,000. "Chair man Holt, of the Democratic Statec committee has given out a statement -to the effect that the chairman of the oonty committees- have sent him the names of 10,000 Republicans who have joined Bryan clubs within the past month, together with the in .formation that they are still coming to the support of the Democratic national ticket." SHardy Bryan got a large stze "ate," no doubt, for pulling Booth down and placing okl man Pharr up for Governor. A large majority of. his people did'nt believe he could deliver the goods, but what Hardy ean't deliver when there is a little ddAlt mixed up with it, no other fel low need tackle. The States in Speaking of this- matter said: "Brian palled Booth's leg and he * dropped off like a ripe persimmon." Who knows but that Hardy will yet be called upon by..Hanna or Jones to pypll Watson or Sewall's leg. If .they'J put up the stuff Hardy can do the rest. United States Senator Thomas S. Igafthin of Virginia, one of the best tfbt;rr~rc4 men in the countiy says Sthat "all the indications point to the Seloetion of Bryan and Sewall. In Virgita the ticketwill triumph by a S r larg.y majority, for it grows in r popwlartty all the tame. The small V .- d eetlpa that may be expected in the , eittie will be more than balanced by ~g s from the opposition.

One who has thr watched themu closely, ii ith good op0- mat portunities to understand them, re- li cently wrote of them that they are list as angry, as confused and as anxious wil to sting as a colony of hornets whose bee nest has been su(ddenly torn down. erg There is no doubt at all that they Dei are deeply and bitterly enraged be- 3 cause of the straight forward Demo- Lo f cratic declaration of independence nil adopted at Chicago. They feel that lai if any party is allowed to will after Cet repudiating them and denying their 94 II right to rule, they are likely to lose ig - control of the government for years ha, to come, it not permanently. There dcl is, therefore, no likelihood that the tio II reports of the sums they are laising cal to control the election exaggerate tiri their intentions.

And in Tennessee they have given a int still more striking proof of their ttly determination to viiidicate their lib- I sed erties. in Six months ago, Tennessee was a rby Republican State by at least 20,000 majority.

This Pance decision was arrlrivd at by the proni- Quy inent State Democratic representatives keQ. and leaders i:: the section of Jiudge Ab Baird's home. Governor Foster has Mi already signified an intention to take and a activce part iu any location where his Tb services on the hustings are required E. R throughout the State, and is is inti- kins. mated at the invitation of numerous Jone solicitors that the Fifth Congressional hibiti district will be the Initiative of his turk campaign. Lieut. Governor Snyder tniuk will also lend his active aid, having of fis been also prevailed upon to be an en- said ergetic pat ticipant in furthering the 'h Democratic ticket. meet Judge Baird has been prominent in over Iouisiana affairs since his boyhood, it thruh might be said, having graduated at tain law when but 22 years of age, and oc eupying the bench at 27 lie is about was 84 years of age, exceedingly popular. W and enjoys a reputation for upright- of a ness and worth possessed by few. lie faidi has at all times been thorough in his devotion to the party and his nomiua- clerl tion, when made, will be enthusiasti- cop cally received in the entire Fifth Dis- Cbot tirict. The nomination has not yet delii e been made, the conclusion to name Os Judge Baird having been arrived at tleni by general agreement, approaching foli close to a caucus, though there was no probability that another candidate age would contest the honor with Judge Baird. Bringing as he does, the co- FT e operation of the most prominent C mn embers of his party, Judge Baird's AE a campaign promises to be one of the MaI nr notable condected In the Fifth Con- PD gressional district, which has always d been an interesting section in State politics and will be a particularly in- '1 teresting one in the coming election, to on account of the differences that have Le cropped out there in the past eight YA) t years, inimical to the Democratic par e ty. That matters will "hum" there , this fall is a foregone conclusion, I )e though the Democrats are confident Jul )e that in the end they will land their pre candidate In a walk. Judge Baird's I candidacy will be a boomerang to the Bel opposition and it is predicted that P. `r- many of the defectionists will again es return to their party and a nearer - to unity in the Fifth will mark Judge an r- Baird's election. gal u- Tensae Gazette: Judge Samuel T. the o. Baird, of Bastrop,Morehouse parish, is wb 1d announced as a candidate for Congress ani from this-district to succeed the lion. Fo Charles J. Boatner. Judge Baird is one of the most prom ' iuent men in North Louisiana and his record has been a very brilliant one. Pu - lile is a fine lawyer, of sound erudition Lo it- in his profession, an orator who has in cv- attracted the attention of every body wi nd of men he has addressed, and a man to or of the very highest personal character. ha Giving up a successful practice at the Al bar of his district, he acnecepted and ens e, filled the position of district attorney th and judge with marked ability. Dur- off n- ing the last term of the Legislature he rol represented his district in the State no Senate, and was selected to advocate wi to the claims of the democratic candidate po as- for election on the question of contest wi v. between Gov. Foster and Capt. 'Pharr. an In all relations of life. Judge Baird of has borne himself in such a manner as in to commend him to his fellow citizens lei for any office within their gift, and we ea es. know of no one in the Fifth Congress a ional district who would more credit- th eir ably represent the Interests of the peo- te Ib- ple. in hlis geographical position in this or a State maIkes the interests of his section hi o00 identical with those of the river par- sn ish^es, and Tensas recognizes that in ca e him we would have a strong and able th - advocate in Congress.

Mr. Maxwell has h never been known to make a failure in en, a crop or to lose money a single year a mil- since he has been iu our sister parish. O nds He dropped over to Vicksburg the rty other day and this is what be told ace- a Commercial-Herald reporter: a Iby 'My corn is good and my cotton t sert also. Much of it will make a bale t neti to the acre. I plow sPy land deep and ne break it up thoroughly and harrow it I to good before planting. I have thirty oat acres of land that was in cultivation stc ninety years ago. For the past two the seasons I planted it in peas and corn. I use a fertilizer made under formula of Prof. Stubbes for alluvial land, at a cost of $2.00 per acre. That land, as ay well as the greater part of my crop, has a good crop on it. 'The plant is h- ealth and green. This stalk of cot his ton is from the old land I mentioned d in and is a fair sa'lnple of the crop. Many obt short crops are caused by the want of proper cultivation and care of the land. rthy Land requires strengthening, as well ner. as the human body." T'he stock of ne a cotton mentioned is at the Cotton Ex change. Members of the exchange port examined it closely and state that there use, was fully one hundred and fifty bolls fthe on the stock.
