J®* The canvass in the South lias not attracted much attention, because It was supposed to be ail one way. Tills is true perhaps in nearly all of tii« Southern States but three--North Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana. The Republicans are quietly making a very thorough canvass in North Caro­ lina. ,Gen. flawley, of Connecticut who came up from there very lately, believes his party will get three of the nine Congressmen. I cannot sny upon what lie bases his prediction, but so close an observer sho'ild have reasons sufficient lor the faith that is in him, From Louisiana the report comes that the duce and all is to pay. Early in the summer the Independents in the city of New Orleans become very res­ tive under what they called "close corporation rule" by the dominant part.v and organized a bolt. They joined hands with a larged and most influential and respectable body of sugar and rice growers, who feared that the duty would be taken ofl of the two great'Louislana staples mentioned. The tariff on sugar as it now sta»d6 means to the planter about 9'8 more per hogshead for his crop than he would get if there were no tariff. Quite a number of Louisiana sugar planters make from 1,000 or 2,000 hogs­ heads: SQ the I'jss under a free-trade system present over one-half the plant­ ers profit on Ills crop. Touch a man's pocket and you reach his perceptions quickest, and the Louisiana planter is no exbeptiou to the general rule. Small wonder either is it, for the sixteen sugar-growing parishes have 990,000,- 000 Invested in this particular culture, and about 015,000,000 in the growth and preparation of rice.

DIBO.--At his late residence In Woodstock, n Krimiy, Octo!>or I7lh, U&4, of heart diffl. cuHv, Thomas Whitson.aged 73 year* and live months. The subject of this sketch was born in Westbury, N. Y., May 15th. 1811. He served an apprenticeship at the tin­ smith trade when quite young, and moved to Boston, Mass., in 1830. Here he followed the trade he had worked at as u first-class mechanic for some years. He married Hannah P. Boutelle in 1833 and resided in West Boston till 1848, when, with wife, three daughters and two sons he came west by steamboat, and from Chicago to Waukegan, III., by stage. Here he started in the Hard­ ware and Tin business. at>d during his stay there was elected as Alderman. He moved to Woodstock in 1854 and bought out the interest of Van Dyke, of the firm of VanDyke & Moore. Soon after Mr. Moore retired'from the firm and it became Whit son & Harrison* This firm did a large business and bought considerable grain. Later lie closed out his business and was em­ ployed to manage the manufacturing department connected with the Hard­ ware firm of Watrous & Gates. In 1869 the firm of Thomas Whltsen ft Sons opened up, and in 1873 were burned out. losing heavily. They immediately set to woik, and by persistence and hard labor, built the building where they have been doing a large and .In­ creasing trade up to th» time when the senior member of the firm was stricken with the disease which caused his death. Mr. Whitson began doing busi­ ness !n Woodstock before the railroad entered it. and has hauled many loads of merchandise from Union to this place. At the time of ills death there remained not a single person or Arm in business that was engaged in the same when he came to Woodstock. With few exceptions all have passed to the "great beyond." He was several times el«cted to the office of village trustee ere Woodstock received its present city eharter, ant' has been twice elect­ ed as au Alderman during the past twelve years. He was a man of un­ blemished moral character, always choosing what lie thought and believed to be right anil just; oue whom neighbors and friends admired eu ac­ count of his integrity and uprightness in all dealings with his fellow man. He was a genial and entertaining host to those who chanced to call at his abode, and no deserving person was ever turned from ills home hungry or needy as far as it was in his power to give aid or relief. It can be truthfully avered that Thomas Whitson was a man of more than ordinary Intelligence and business capacity, and as far as It goes to make up any community it was better for his having lived in It. His demise ftakes from our midst an old, honored and respected citizen; a man of enterprise; one whose views and council was often sought and relied upon by his associates in business. He was beloved by those whose fortune It was to work for him In his .ghop or about, his home; a kind-hearted and accommodating neighbor and friend, always taking sides with the poor and oppressed. Such a man cannot fail but to be missed by others than his imme­ diate family and relatives. Yet it is In that family circle where sorrow and grief reigns, that the loss of the loved and revered father is realised most, and his thoughtful care and pleasant society will be so greatly missed. His words of wisdom and advice can be sought after no more. The reaper death has Invaded that happy and peaceful home several times wit'jin the past few years. First a beloved' son and brother, then the life partner with whom he had lived for nearly fifty years, and a little more than a year since the remains of an aflectionate sister and daughter were laid to rest beside those fir one before. And this time the head of the family is called to join those who had to late­ ly preceded him. The place and chair by the fireside and in the sunlight is vacant, the" bereaved children and grandchildren and relatives shall miss, Oh, how much, that loved and honored form at the head of the table, where he lias so long presided. Only two of his family survive him, • brother in California whom he has not seen in forty years, and a sister residing In Brooklyn. N. Y., who visited himself and family last fall, and who is now in poor health. Mr. Whitson was a man who had been blessed with remarkable good health, always caring for the same in such a manner that he was able to withstand hard and Incessant laboc to a great degree for one of his years. Until about nine weeks ago he continued his usual vocation In the shop where lie ever seemed to like to be when not at home with his family. He was stricken down with the disease quite suddenly, and throughout the weeks of affliction and suferlng which was his lot to pass, he was patient and enduring to the end, being more solici­ tous for those whom he considered he was so much care to than for himself. His last few hours were spent in appar­ ent peacefulness his life going out while lie quietly slept. The Sabbath after­ noon following his death was a balmy and beautiful one, Neighbors, friends and acquaintances gathered In large numbers at the house of mourning to join with those who wept, In paying the last sad tribute of eflectiou and respect to the memory of the depart­ ed. The funeral services were conduct­ ed by the Revs. S. C. Hay and R. K. Todd and were both solemn and lm« press!ve, after which the remains of the deceased were followed to their last resting place by a goodly number of those who had truly loved tbe many virtues of neighbor, friend and fellow citizen, where all that was mortal was deposited beside those who had crossed the riter in advance.

It Is expected that there will be at least 600 torches in line. The speakers will be. Gen. Smith D. Atkins, of Freeport, acknowl­ edged to lie one of the most eloquent and effective campaign orators in the whole northwest, Hon. Reuben Ell« wood, our popular member of Congress end Charley Fuller, candidate for the Legislature. The ladles of Richmond will furnish refreshments for the marching clubs. * It will be an open air meeting if the weather Is warm and pleasant, but if not, the new Opera House has been engaged tor the occas­ ion, which, by a little crowding nil' hold 1.000 people. Under favorable circumstances there will be several thousand people in Richmond tliaj night. Everybody, no matter what their political opinions, are invited to turn out and hear the g eat questions of the day discussed. On Thursday evening, the 23d lust., Coulman has the grand opening of ills Opera House, on which evening skat­ ing, free to all. will be indulged In for a couple of hours, followed by a dance. Slocum'8 Orchestra are to furnish the music, which fact alone will draw a Crowd of the lovers of good music. The t)|,era House will make a dancing hall second to few in lIds country. The dancing floor proper will be 90x32 feet. The building is 100 feet long, but ten feet at the entrance way are taken up by the ticket office, etc., over which is the gallery for the orchestra. The floor is superb, being made of narrow strips of hard maple, smooth as wood can be made. We hope there will be an immense turnout at this opening. The building of the Opera House is an enterprise in which every citizen of Richmond ought to feel a personal in­ terest. We have never had a place half large enough for, public meetings, concerts, parties, etc., and now that Blr. Coulman has invested his money lira building we may all be proud of. he ought to be encouraged by a liberal public patronage. Everybody ought to buy a ticket Thursday night whether a dancer or not. It is expected that companies will be present from Mc­ Henry, Nunda, Algonquiu, Woodstock, Harvard and other places. Last Thursday evening the Demo­ crats had a rally at Richmond. A special train brought in a hundred or more from the villages down the road* and the local members of the party swelled the procession to about 150. of whom 135 bore torches. They made a very pretty show on the streets. The speakers' stand^^AS erected on the street at the northwest corner of the Hotel Culver. P. K. Allen, of Richmond was master of ceremonies, and acquit­ ted himself gracefully. J. Darling Carried the glorious stars and stripes. The first speaker waa the Hon. E. M. Haines, followed by Hon, Richard Bishop, of McHenry, and A. E. Bourne and Mr. Marcus of Woodstock. The address of Mr. Marcus was in German. We took full notes of the speeches, with tbe Intention of giving a resume of the same, but come to look them :<^ver they coutaln nothing worth the trouble of reporting. The speeches were made up of the same Democratic clap-trap and misrepresentation which the people have already heard ad nauseam. The speakers did as well however, as anybody could with the hopeless case they had to argue. The result of the meeting will be to add to the Republican vote in Richmond.
