1t will be seen that we publish all the
tickets and all the platforms. This may
seem to many like sudden freak or lib
erality toward opponents, but thisw was q
custom with the Times, at its beginning,
and we could never see the propriety Of
its abandonment. With all Of them before
the voter it gives him IN opportunity to
compare, and to argue the respective mer-
it's of each position, and to learn rs well
who and what to vote for as to who and
what to vote against. Other reasons
specially call just now, for this course in
this County. The Financial Reform or
Labor Union is new organisation, and it
is entitled to be seen and heard through
the papers. Many very eminent men in the
Union are at the bottom of it and it is
becoming third element of political
power which it were bad taste not to no.
tice and bad sense not to treat respectfully.
Compare the platform of the Democracy
with that of the +. Il. 4 L. Union, and it
will be seen that their sentiments are
nearly indentical, and, US we stated
several weeks ago, it is our opinion that
the object the latter aim at can be more
surely and more. quickly reached inside
the Democratic ranks than in a separate
organization. Of this, however, let all
men judge. More on this subject after
while. III 59s8
Again, it is known that the Republican
party, of Clayton County, is without
means Of show or defense, through its own
(lats) organs, both of them refusing to
support the County Ticket, and bitterly
denouncing the resolutions unanimously
adopted at their Convention. The ticket
for their County Officers is not before the
public! Their papers having been warmed
into life on the ehearth-stone of the Res
publican party now turn ungratefully, like
that frozen cuss mentioned by Esop,
and attempt to destroy their benefactors.
They, like Cesar, have eaten of that meat
which ambition feeds on until they have

truth in Convention, raised the devil Tor

very generally have always treated the
TINES with social and financial liberality
We now have means Of reeiprocating by
keeping their ticket and platform "before
the people, while the fellows they have
been feeding too high shall be worked
down to decent gait, if it be proper to
use the word ''decent" in application to
''the high contracting parties of the

these "mighty pigmies' if not whipped

political perdition. 1t would be hypocrit
ical in US to deny that we enjoy the fight
1t is not ours, you know we are only
wondering who will surrender.

The peach and apple cropin Michigan, it
is thought by sore fruit growers, will be
double if not treble what it was last year.
The trees are loaded with fruit, and in
some instances will have to be thinned to
prevent breaking down. Besides this, many
fruit trees are coming into bearing for the
first time.

Tompkins attended the Democratic Con-
vention, at Elkader. He intimates in his
paper that Gen. Bigelow furnished him
water to battle! This is stupendous
.humbng. He, battle! No STREE. He
hates water for such purposes. Judging
from his muddled account of the Conven-
ton, as compared with the official report,
the General must have been liberal enough
to have furnished something besides water.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF PAIN.


A few days since a stranger made his
appearance in Kalamazoo, and announced
himself as DR.. Mcbride, the King of Pain
For several successive evenings the Dr.
appeared on the corner Of Main and Bur.
dick streets, and while the crowds Of pee
pie that f]ocked around his carriage were
enjoying the music of the band, which
was furnished each evening, the DR.. was
busy in efecting cures upon the afflicted,
and in complying with the demands tina,
were made for the wonderful medicine
which he was offering to the public. Last
Saturday evening, DR.. Mcbride closed his
sales on the streets, and yesterday he took
his departure from Kalamazoo. Before
leaving, the DR.. rode through the princi.
pal streets in carriage, which was pre-,
ceeded by band of music.
The carriage was adorned with ban.
ner, announcing "Good bye" to the people
of Kalamazoo. The horses were also dress
ed out with banners, wishing happiness and
health to all, and announcing that the
medicine of the King of Pain could be
obtained Of Charles S. d'Arcambal, sole
agent for Kalamazoo. Altogether the
Doctor has had a very successful time in
Kalamazoo, he having sold over one thou
sand bottles of medicine, and having cured
many cases Of deafness, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, &c.
Dr. Mcbride goes from this place to
Niles, where we trust he will be well re-
ceived. We understand that he intends to
return to Kalamazoo in about three
months, and in the meantime, all who
wish to purchase the King of Pain, should
call at G.. S. d'Arcambal's Drug Store,
Burdick House block. l

THE ECLIPSE.
In the local columns Of the St. Paul
Pioneer, of Sunday, August Sth, we find
description of the Great Eclipse of the
day previous. 1t suits us. 1t corres>
ponds with McGREGoR's experience except
as to the hour and minute of ''opening,"
ours being 4:l0 and closing at 5:lO or
close to it. The "going off, of the eclipse
was not visible from our local stand-p point
because our unfriendly though highly
romantic bluffs on the west side, took
charge of the playful, heavenly bodies
just as Luna and Sol. were closing their
dalliance. Our exchanges are filed nth
notices of the event, some astronomical,
some would-bc learned, some comcal and
some readable. As there are few now liv-
ing who will see another such interesting
exhibition, VIC deem it unnecessary to give
figures about it even if we knew what
such figures meant when copied from our
scientific exchanges. Not being college,
= '
professor of astronomy, nor yet an fob
servatory," we think it best for us to keep
quiet on subject which we do not under
stand. On Saturday many funny inc:-
dents occurred here but of no alarming
character as was the case in 1884, when
we witnessed the annular eclipse of that
year. The general remark here was
How wonderful must be the knowledge of
the learned, when such an event is pre-
dicted to second Of time, fifty years prior
to its approach. We think so. The OBJ
scuration at McGregor was much greater
than at St. Paul; billiard friend of ours
remarked that the moon missed a "pocket'
only by ''scratch."
Liking the Pioneers eclipse article we
clips it:
The great eclipse which, according to
the programme laid down, occurred yes
terday, was witnessed by our whole
population, both great and small. All
through our streets were to be seen men,
women and children, with smoked glasses,
through which they hoped to see the
interference of the shadow of one celestial
body with the reality and substance Io
another celestial body. They were no,
disappointed. The phenomenon occurred
according to. the previous astronomical
programme. The hens and ROSTERS, when
the darkness became most visible, like
well regulated fowls, endeavored to find
their places to rest, and were very, soon
after, surprised to find they had made d
mistake. When the light of day returned
| and they found that nature had made q
mistake, they again came out and made il
known that they understood the joke
They were somewhat indignant, and man
ifested disposition not to be again fooled
It was hardly possible to induce them to
retire when the regular time occurred
They finally concluded, however, wher
the shades Of night really came on to &C
to their slumbers. and did so, which was
very sensible The obscuarton here was
not very great. How it was in other
places, our dispatches tell. Here, the
eclipse commenced at 3:4O> 30>> p. NJ, ant
ended 5:4V 81" Pm. During the great
est observation, gentle twilight prevailed
and the atmosphere was Of strange
coppery hue.

1t is provided that those citizens of the United
States who have been made citizens OF the Mexi-
Can republic by naturalization and have resided

as such. Reoiprocslly citizens of the Mexican
republic who have become citizens of the United
States, and who have resided uninteTruptedy ia
the territory Of the United States for five years.
shall be held by the republic of Mexico as citi.
zens of the United States and shall be treated as
such.
The declaration of an intention to become
citizen Of the enc or the other country has not

The HreckiuridEe Dinner at the Manhattan
Club.


New York paper publishes what processes TO
be report Of private dinner given recently to
General John G. Breckenridge, at the Manhattan
Club, by bis Democratic friends in that city.
We are told that among those present to vel.
come Mr.. Breckenridge were hessrs. 8. l.. M.
Barlow and William Henry Hurlbut of the World;
Generals Pickett and Roger A. Pryor; Messrs.
Gideon j.. Tucker, George H. Purser, Douglas
Taylor, August Belmont, Horace b. Perkins,
Judge Cardozo, and General John B. Magruder.
The dinner cost $500. The customary toasts
were drunk, that Of the guest of the evening
being received with great warmth. He simply
returned thanks, bat the following remarks made
in conversation are given as his by the "no gen.
tlemann OF the morning journal:
' He spoke feelingy OF the suderings Of Presi.
dent Davis, and told an interesting story of his
first meeting with Mr.. Davis in Europe, while az
the house Of Mr. Changer, in Paris. The general,
in answer, to inquiries, said that SIR. Slidel still
remained In the French capital, and had expressed
no intention Of returning to Louisiana. He had
not seen Mr.. James NJ. Mason for several months.
MIR. Judah p. Benz amin, he thought, was coming
money at the English bar. An injudicious remark
was made 10 reference to the reported intention
Of the Kentucky Democracy to nominate General
Breckenridge as their candidate for governor.
The general smiled, and drew his cigar from be-
tween his teeth. Il hope my friends in Ken
lucky will DO nothing of the kind" said
he, "as / think it would be injudlcious, and
! have no desire to reenter political fe."
Gen. Msgruder was also toasted. " He responded
in g happy manner. After paying high compli.
ment to the bravery of the American people, both
North and South, he spoke Of the generous feeling
existing among many prominent Republicans to-
ward their late antagonists, and referred to tie
action Of the Hon. Horace Greeley in bailing Pres.
ident Davis and urging Gen. Breckenridge to re-
turn to the United States, in terms of glowing eu
logy. He called Mr.. Greeley the great American
philantbropist, and regretted that the course he
had taken had not been followed by the Republi
can party" Mr. Hurlbut followed in response to
" The Press" lie told the story of " The Elbows
of the Mncio." Gen. Pickett responded to the
able way, compmenting the fighters on either
side. There was much more speaking, etc., etc..
after which we learn that the party separated in
the happiest frame of mind imaginable. We are
told in conclusion, that
." 1t was said that Gov. Hoffman and the Hon.
Horace Greeley were invited to the banquet, but
their prior engagements prevented their accept
ance Of the invitation"

HOMoIDEs IN TExAs.-The Mckinney Messen.
ger states that a man named Stockwell was assss-

well had difficulty about some horses be had sto

A Mr.. Erwin has been shot and killed at his
residence, four or FIVE miles from Sherman. by
some parties that Mr.. Erwin had suspected of
stealing his horses.
The Mckinney Messenger, Radical paper,
states that few days since, q son of Hon. Hardin
Hart, Radical judge, who holds his Office by
military appointment, was shot and killed by the
sheriff OF Hunt county, st Greenville. Hart was
firing his pistol of in the hotel among the inmates,
among whom were several women and children,
and the sheriff called upon him to deaist or sur
render and be refusing to comply, the sheriff shot
him on the spot, and killed him. We believe that
even the sheriff is loyal, and trust that this
event is not TO go to Washington as an evidence
that Texas is still making on the United States.
