The following selections, four in number^
a portion of the election law of 1876, wi 1
be ot value to many voters :
Sec. 11. Electors in all cases shall he
privileged from arrest during their attend-
ance at elections, and in going to and re-
turning from the same, except in case of
treason, felony or breach of the peace.
Sec. 12. That all the elections in this

each election, and the polls shall be open
on that day from 8 o’clock a. m. to 6
o’clock p. m.
Sec. 13. The following classes of per-
sons shall not be allowed to vote in this
state, to-wit: First—persons under

and lunatics. Third—All paupers sup-
ported by the county. Fourth—AM per-

Sttitcs
Sec! 14. Every male person subject to
none of the foregoing disqualifications,
who shall have attained the age of twenty-
one years and who shall be a citizen of
the United States, and who shall have re-
sided in this state one year next preced-
ing an election, and the last six months
within the district or county in which lie
offers to vote, shall be deemed a qualified
elector; and every male person of foreign
birth, subject to none of the foregoing dis-
qualifications, who at any time before an
election, shall have declared his intention
to become a citizen of the United States,
in accordance with the federal naturaliza-
tion laws, and shall have resided in this
state one year next preceding such elec-
tion, and the last six months in the county
in which he offers to vote, shall also be
deemed a qualified elector and all electors

residence; provided that electors living in

poses. The residence ot a married man,

be the duty of the judge of elections, when

ceed six months, at the discretion of the

Look Out For Them.
The Democrat has been apprised of
the fact that “short” tickets have been
printed in the interest of some ot the
candidates, and possibly a combination of
candidates, and they may be used in the
city to-day, though we believe that they
were intended for use in the country,
where it is thought they would he more
effectively used. There are a good many
men in the country who are indifferent
about the election in contests where none
but good men are offering, and obtaining
a ticket containing only a portion of the
names, will vote "for those without
considering the claims of any other can-
didates. The Democrat has no language
to sufficiently express its contempt ot
such a proceeding. It is unfair, manifest-
ly unfair, and every person should “black-
ball” every man who has any connection
with such a scheme. The candidates are
before the people, and no unfair advantage
should be taken of them.
Look out for the short tickets, and re-
gard the man with suspicion who has
them.

Delirium Tremens.
A very tallented physician, by the name
ofB. F. Fly, a recent accession to this city
from Kentucky, who has been stopping
at the El Paso Hotel tor ten days or two
weeks, allowed whiskey to get the better
of him, and on last Saturday night was
attacked by a severe case of delirium tre-
mens. His carryings on during the night
interfered materially with the quiet rest of
the guests in the hotel. His halloing
could have been heard tor a distance of
two squares. Maj. Fairfax had him re-
moved to the hospital, where he is under
the efficient treatment of the county phy-
sician.
ut. It is supposed that Franklin re-
n-ned to where Doggett was lying dead
nd relieved him of his share of the
poils.
The horse which was shot is well-known
Where he went is a matter of
■e. Doggett, with his family,
The remains of the dead robber were
Caddo Grove.
If you will drink, and most men will
take a little occasionally for the stomach’s
sake, be sure and drink none but pure
liquors, such as are found at the Occi-
dental saloon.
—The finest of watches and jewelry are
paired at Souter & Howard’s
—The ladies will find an assortment of
flower pots at Robinson, Bros. & Go’s,

The Cotton Marked
1'he week opens with line weather and
lair receipts. The tenor of advices from
other markets is very unfavorable. Liv-
erpool is off 3-32d to on arrivals, and
New York about 20 points on futures.
This severe break neutralizes the improve-
ment of last week and the feeling at the
close was weak and demoralized. The
market may rally slightly, but until trade
revives, or a much shorter crop than now
expected is apparent, we can see hut little
chance for any decided advance, while
there are many chances that prices may
go lower.
Our market opened with a brisk de-
mand, which was maintained until unfa-
vorable news from other markets came in,
when the bidding became less spirited
and prices at the close were weak, the
market closing easy.

George Middleton.
The friends of Mr. Middleton were
never more earnest and zealous in their
efforts to secure his election, and were
never more sanguine of suecess. The
news from all parts of the county cheers
them to renewed efforts, and inspires
them with confidence. During the can
vass Mr. Middleton has earned reputation
as a speaker, and those who hear him are
convinced that in his hands the peace of
the county will be faithfully prosecuted.
He was educated and graduated at
Trinity college in this state, and as a law-
yer stands remarkably well at the bar.
His years and experience considered, he
has no reason to teel otherwise than
grateful at the success that has attended
him. Should he be honored with the con-
fidence and votes of his fellow-citizens,
his effort will be to discharge the duties of
the office efficiently and faithfully.

The Money Question.
Notwithstanding the depression of busi-
ness all over the country and the cry of
hard times on every corner, there are few
men who seem not to be affected by the
scarcity of money ; and why ? Simply
because, instead of standing on street cor-
ners discussing the financial question, they
are at work trying to make an_ honest liv-
ing ; and, now, we take occasion to men-
tion Rintleman, of the Local Option saloon,
as one of the tew who knows no such
thing as hard times. His place is always
crowded with customers, because he keeps
nothing but the best liquors that cash will
buy, and, after ten years’ hard work and

Enoch Arden.
And that same morning officers and men
Took up a collection among themselves,
Pitying the lonely man, and gave it him,
lu that harbor whence seven years before
he sailed.
Then Enoch spoke no word to any one,
Not even thanking the officers and crew,
But ho me ward—home—what home? had
he a home?
Down to the pool and narrow wharf he
went
Seeking a tavern which of old he knew
Saving if it was still there,
And kept by the same old party
Who run it seven years ago, he would
Stop with him a few days, have
His drinks hung up on the slate,
And learn the lay of the land.
He thought it must have gone; hut he was
gone,
Who kept it; and his widow, Nancy
Jones,
Was sole proprietor, and stood behind the
bar,
A haunt of brawling seamen once, but
now
Business was dull and a stranger didn’t
Happen along once in two weeks.
There Enoch rested silent many days,
Mrs. Jones thinking him a wealthy sea
captain.
The lady of the house was good and gar-
rulous,
Nor let him be; but often breaking in,
Told him, with other annals of the port—
Not knowing Enoch, he was so brown, so
bowed—
All the story of his family,
His baby’s death, his wife’s growing pov-
ertv,
How Philip Ray took a great interest in
her.
And sent her little ones to school,
How' they oft walked in the twilight,
And the talk it raised; his long wooing
her,
Her slow consent and marriage,
And the birth of Phillip’s child.
He seemed to take but a passing interest
In the tale; only when she closed,
“Enoch, poor man, was cast away and
lost,”
He, shaking his head pathetically,
Repeated, muttering, “Cast away and
lost!”
And, “Mrs. Jones, another whisky sling!”
But Enoch yearned to see her face again
And know that she was happy. So the
thought
Drove him forth when the dull November
day
Was growing duller twilight. By and by
The ruddy glare of comfortable light
Far-blazing from the rear of Phillip’s
house
Allured him, and with beating heart he

“There’s a light in the window for—
Phillip! ”
Phillip’s dwelling fronted on the street,
The last house to landward. No. 20o,
Opposite the grain elevator; but behind,
With one small gate that opened on the
WUSt6,
Flourished ’a little garden square and
Availed;
Enoch shunned the middle path and stole
Up by the wall, behind the gooseberry
' bush.
And looked in at the window.
Now when the dead man came to life and
saw
Ills wile, his wife no more, and saw the
babe,
Hers, vet not his, upon the father’s knee,
And all the apparent happiness and tran-
quility,
He therefore, turning softly like a thief,
Crept to the gate, and opened it, and
closed
As lightly as a sick man’s chamber door
Behind him, and came out upon the waste,
Remarking, “If Phillip’s satisfied, ditto
here; ”
And straightway went and married Mrs.
Jones. _ . ,
