i Republicans are claiming ev.-ry- j

. op their belief. “Money makes ,
» lie piare go,” is a trite old raying,
md it holds good it- other metiers
-hence, whenever the “hoonle” is

return that that state will eo for
HcKinlpy and hoodie; but that
Jon’t make it so.
Below wo publish the names ot
states which Senator Gorman, of
Maryland, has op his lists* certain
to vote for Bryan. The St. Louie
Republican says: “There are few
men in tho United States who have
a larger and more intelligent
acquaintanceship than Mr. Gorman
He has correspondents in every
state in tho union. Somehow or
other, he managed to find out
what is going on in the Republican
temple as well as the Democratic
chapel. He has utilized his Inrgc
acquaintanceship and matchless
sources ot information to ascertain
the condition of tho country.”

HALLO WBEX.
The night of the Slst is “Hal*
| loween,” when all the fairies arc
i abroad, and the future is divulged
to all who seek it. Halloween is
the name popularly given to the
eve or vigil of All Hallows, or Fes
tival of All Saints, the first of No
vember. In this Hire the celebra
tion is divested of most all its sti
I perstilious charnc erislies, but w e
still fir.d many maidens prying
into futurity by means of looking
glass or water in the well.
Among the easiest of the Sedi
tions for Hie Indies is, to take u
candle and go nlone to s looking
glass ; eat an apple before it, con b
your hair all the time, and the*
liu-o of your sw eetheart will be
seen in the glass, a» if peeping
over your shoulder. For the gen
tleim-n, is a task somewhat harder,
lie is ‘ to go to the neuiesl creek
in the cany hours ut the night,
| w et the sleeve et his shirt in the
water, hung it in front of the fire
| to dry. Lay awake wnh your
, tuind upon your s»eCtLcu>t, and
sometime after midnight the grand
object in question wiilcuino and
turn the sleeve ns if to dry the
! other side.”
XV PLACE FOR BOLT EPS.
_
The following is the concluding
portion ul'an editorial in the Cin
cinnati Enquirer under signature
of John R. McLean its editor. Af
ter arguing at length tor Bryan
and iroc silver, he pictures a sad
tale lor boilers from ihe Demo
cratic party ;
•‘Bolters from the Democratic
pariy are; in a bad shape politically.
Mter the election they will have
nowhere 1 o go. Mark, the organ
ization, the machinery, is all in the
huinis ol the silver men. Look at
.Now \ oi &, where the gold moil
were strongest, how the followers
nf Brvnn hare 'ukon change ofulI |
the party mnehinerv. It isw.il
enough tor t levciuioi uuu bin enb-j
>na oliiccis iO go lot l'aluur and I
Buckner ; well enough lor some of!
the rich mi n of i^c f>n*t and \» ost;;
hut for theordin«rv man in politics, J
it is the gteuipst lolly. What hone,
ol pi'eiertnenl can a man have who >
hulls the Democratic parly unless
he goes over to the Republican
party ? Once there, he is on pro
bation, and if loyal, hardworking
and strictly partisan, probably in
ten years he may get recognition.
“Ihe Democratic office holders,
with the exception of members of
the cabinet, would he great tools
to become bolters. With Mr. Mc
Kinley elected President, their
dismissal from office would be as
sured. With Bryan's flection they
could either retain their office or
hold over for a time—not to be
dismissed like menials. It is well
enough to preach to men in office
how tine it is to he bold, indepen
dent and fearless, but that kind of
talk does not put a dollar in the
office holder’s pocket or enable the
men under him to earn a dollar.
“Under any and all circumstan
ces Cleveland and his political fam
ily must go ‘out on March 4 next.
Handsome of him to want every
other Democrat driven out of office
the same day, whether Bryan or
McKinley is chosen President!
^ice leader who asks his followers
to jump into the grave with him !
That is precisely what Cleveland
and his cabinet want all Democrat
ic office holders to do. Attorney
Geneiul Harmon can afford to play
the independent Democrat and
bolt the ticket, knowing that neith
er Bryan nor McKinley will ask
him to hold office under them. His
position is just the reverse of ali
the Democratic ofiico holders of
Ohio. He must go out of office
March 4 where they’ may have to,
but not necessarily if Bryan wins.
“I see the regular three weeks
before-the-election scare has taken
hold of the Republicans. That is
worked up ; that finds its way into
the newspapers, so that the capi
talists and the money men who
have been properly scared will
surrender their money to the poli
ticians. That is an old job. How
ever, I suppose it will work as
well this year as it has formerly.
ll*o Republican pilots arc buay
telling in the press of the danger
that confronts them. A million
or more dollars must be had to
j buy the election. One thing is
sure—the country will survive,
whether gold or silver succeeds in
this election j but silver would, in
my opinion, break up the existing
stagnation and bring prosperity.”

Mert 1,2 Shade qucctimbed to a severe
I ease of peretoui,tis ;iiid passed away.
He had bev*u suffering for nearly two

He was attended at his death bed by a
devoted wife and his sister. Mrs. Jo

w as summoned as soon as his ease was

; On Friday night l>efore his death, of
which lie w;\s conscious, lie called his

to die so young, yet tie had become rec- j
onciled and maile bis peace with God.
Ridding iliem all good-bye, he asked

Heft It Shade was born at Quincy.
Mich , July Id, 1871. and was the son '
•f Andrew and Rachael Shade. He
was educated in the schnolspif Quincy,
which he left to enter the First Na- 1
tionul bank as book keeper. He after- -
wards attended school tor a time and 1
then took charge of the hooks of the i
Irv goods finn of C. T. Gilbert. In
October 1889. he secured a position in
the Rank of Lonoke. Lonoke, Ark.,
which he held until August 1891, w hen
tie came to Forrest City as book-keeper ■
for L. Roll wage A Co .a position which t
lie filled with perfect satisfaction up to i
the time of his death. On March21. i
189-1. lie was married to Miss Mary K. \
Winthrop. tlie beautiful daughter of •
Capt. II. W. Winthrop. of this city. I
Mr. Shade had become one of the ,
representative citizens of Forrest Citv. •
enjoying the esteem and confidence of \
all who knew him. He was secretary
of the Forrest Citv Chapter It aval Arch ,
Masons, and clerk of Camp 29 Wood
men of the World. lie was also a
member of the Knights and Ladies of
Honor. He was a communicant of the 1
Episcopal Church of the Good Shep 1
herd of this city.
Mr.Shade was an, accomplished mn- 1
sician, being director of the Citizens
Hand of this citv, a musical organiza
tion which is due almost wholly to his
painstaking and earnest interest in its
NtlCCPSS.
Mr. Shade’s life was not lived in vain. 1
much being accomplished during bis
short stay on earth, tint it is deplorable
that one whose future was so auspi
cious should he taken front this world
before the realization of those lofty
ambitions which must have stirred his
noble soul. It seems unkind that those
who are so capable of appreciating the
grand aims of life, those who are so
fitted fora happy and useful career,
should he taken awav so young. The
bandmaster does not think that the
mournful dirge which lie so carefully
teaches his band will first he heard as
his remaining players march with his
corpse to the open grave. But it often
occurs. llis fellow-players miss the
well-known sound of his instrument,
and that silence is now more mournful
than the most doleful air. Ii is a silent
dirge that pierces the heart and causes
the sad memories of every event con
nected with the dead to float through
tiie mind in melancholy procession
The Times joins the grief-stricken
w ife and sister, and all the sorrowing
friends in the great loss which has
been sustained.

SOLO BY ALL DXIG3GI3T3.
Li) Monday Mr. Bryun ad
dressed the students of Illinois
College, his alma mater, and bis
address was a model one in every
respect. Among other things he
gave utterance to these broad,
liberal and just sentiments:
“Now wo have differences ol
opinion, and it is proper that there
should be chanty shown one to an
other, because you know none of
us are infallible; we are all apt to
make mistakes. But I believe
those who desire most to ascertain
the truth, and who labor hardest
to find out what is best, will come
nearest to arriving at a just con
clusion, and that no one who de
sires to know the truth, who de
sires to do the best that can be,
done, ever objects to hearing from
anyone who may differ with him.
Vou know truth does not exist in
seclusion. Truth comes from the
clash of ideas, from the comparison
of views. Error is the only thing
that fears public discussion. Truth
has a power within itselr by which
it propogates itself, and after all,
there is nothing omnipotent hut i
truth. And now, while we differ:
here, as young men, upon various I
questions which arise, 3 ou will i
agree with me when I say that I
within the long run that policy1
« Inch proves to bo host is going to
he adopted, and that those who at
tach then.selves to a righteous I
cause are sure to triumph at last. !
I never get among 3-ouiig men
without feeling that I ought to
impress upon them a lesson which
was impressed upon me, and that
is, when a man believes that he is
right, he can aflord to stand alone.
He can afford to he called tun thing,
because it is not what people call j
you that determines character. It
is whatj'ott ate yourself."
