Jefferson Democrat.
There are two banners in this
presidential canvass ; one of love
and one of hate ; one of white,
with every star radiantly em-
blazoned on it, and bearing on its
ample folds, fraternal affection, a
restored government, and a uni-
ted people; the other of crimson
ground, with half the stars ob-
scured, and in prominent charac-
ters inscribed upon it, a strong
sectional, central government,
sustained by bayonets. One ban-
ner for peace, and the other for
war; one crowned with the ivy
and the laurel, the representative
of that sentiment that would bury
in oblivion all the dark memories
of fraternal strife, and the other
banner, crowned with the night-
shade and the upas, the emblem
of that unforgiving feeling that
would transmit the hatreds of the
war from generation to genera-
tion, and erect on the rums of a
Federative republic, and the free-
dom of its people, a Nation of op-
pression.
Under the banner of white, the
good and true men of the coun-
try are rallying, with a chosen
leader, who in the darkest days of
the country spurned the despotic
power, with which a sectional
congress endeavored to invest
him, and proclaimed in the midst
of oppression, that the military
must be subordinate to the civil
authority.
The banner of white is the rep-
resentative of honest government
—a government of the people and
for the people—not a portion of
them, but all the people ; not con-
fined to sectional lines, but ex-
tending to the utmost limits of
the republic. And all over this
broad land, hundreds of thousands
of freemen are bearing it aloft,
and walking under its folds. From
Maine to California, from the sea-
board to the lakes, the welcome
shouts are echoing and re-echoing
that sectional strife shall end, and
that the grand old party that for
twenty years has struggled for
supremacy against the party of
hate, shall once more occupy the
seats of power.
They are marching to victory.
High above them, with purity
vesting upon every fold, is the
banner of white. In a few short
weeks the glad tidings will be an-
nounced, and willing hands, con-
trolled by patriotic hearts, will
plant|the banner upon the pinnacle
of the capital.
In this great struggle for a re-
stored government and for a pros-
perity such as this country has
never reached, under which ban-
ner are you marching ? Is it the
banner of white, or the crimson
banner of hate ? Or are you a
miserable, crazy Greenbacks,
oblivious to all around you, shout-
ing for fiat money, and preparing
to throw away your vote on
Weaver and Chambers ?
it. I wont take anythiug that
don’t belong to me.”
“Such a fuss about a little fun !
It’s just what we might have ex-
pected. You never go in for fun.”
“I never go in for doing wrong.
I told you no, for to begin with.
And you’re the one’s to blame if
there’s any fuds.”
“Ned Dunlop, I should like to
see you a minute.”
“Yes, sir.” And the boy re*
moved bis hat as he passed
through the gate and waited to
hear what Mr. Palmer might say
to him.
“Has your uncle got any apples
to sell ?”
“No, sir. He had some, but he
has sold them. I’ve got two
bushels, that was my share for
picking. Should you like to buy
them, sir?”
“Yes, if we can agree upon the'
price. Do you know just what
they are worth ? ”
“Yes, sir.”
“All right, then, I will call for
them, and you may call at my
house for the pay.”
The short interview afforded
the stranger an opportunity to ob-
serve Ned Dunlop closely. The
next day a call was made at his
uncle’s, and although years
elapsed before he knew what a
friend he had gained that day, his
fortune was assured. After he
had grown to manhood and accep-
ted a lucrative position, which was
not of his seeking, he asked why
it had been offered him.
“Because I knew you could say
“No,’ if occasion required,” an-
swered his employer. “ ‘No’ was
the first word I had heard you
speak, and you spoke it with
a will. More people, old and
young, are ruined for the want ©f
using that word, than from any
other cause. They don’t wish to
do wrong, but they hesitate and
parly, until the tempter has them
fast. The boy or girl who is not
afraid to say ‘No,’ is reasonably
certain of making an honorable
man or woman.”
“Yes” is ofter a sweet and lov-
ing word.
“No” is a strong, brave word,
which has signaled the defeat of
many a scheme fo r the ruin of some
fair young life.

No.
“No!” Clear, sharp, and ring-
ing with au emphasis which could
not fail to arrest attention.
“I don’t often hear such a nega-
tive as that,” remarked one gentle-
man to another, as they were
passing the play-ground.
“It is not ofter one hears it.
The boy who uttered it can say
‘Yes,’ too, quite as emphatically.
He is a new-comer here, an or-
phan, who lives with his uncle
about two miles off. He walks in
every morning, bringing his lunch,
and walks back at night. He works
enough, too, to pay his board, and
does more towards running his
uncle’s farm than the old man does
himself. He is the coarsest dressed
scholar in the school, and the
greatest favorite. Everybody
knows just what to expect of
him.”
“Quite a character. I should
like to see him. Boys of such
sturdy make-up are getting to be
scarce, while the world never lrad
more need of them than now.”
“Ail that is true; and if you wish
to see Ned, come ttiis way.”
They moved on a few steps,
p using by an open gate, near
which a group of lads were dis-
cussing some exciting question.
“It isn’t right, and I won’t have
anythiug to do with it. When I
say no t mean it.”
Well, any way, you needn’t
speak so loud and tell everybody
about it,” was responded "impa-
tiently to this declaration.

Weakness and Senility.
4 an An1onio Express.
The Waco Telephone devotes
nearly a column to taking the Aus-
tin Statesman to task for making
strictures upon Senator Maxey
(and Coke also by inference) for
not preventing the confirmation
of Evans for district attorney.
Such nonsensical attacks as the
Statesman and Dallas Times are
making on Maxey hurt no one,
but rather show the weakness of
the cause of their defamers, who
know neither Maxey or Coke
could get a chance to vote for a
Democrat for an appointive office
with a Republican president in the
chair.
