wWe have the best authority for
saying that W. FoRkEsr HuNrER's name
will not be before the Republican Con.
gressional Convention. Although Mr..
HUNTER was generally and favorably
spoken of all over the district as prob
able candidate, he at no time placed his
name at the disposal Of his friends, but
merely took the matter into considera,
ton. We are Of the opinion that he
could have had'the nomination If he had
desired it, and suppose that the reason
which has controlled his action is his
well-known aversion to politics, and es.
#pecially to the employment of such
means and methods as seem TO be almost
indispensable in successful office.seeking
There is no doubt that Mr.. HUNTER, i
he had been candidate, would have re
ceive many Democratic votes in thi,
county which no one else who could re
ceive the nomination need hope for.

~Mr. THURMAN sets at rest the
charge that be has changed front on the
currency question. It was perhaps not
proper for Mr.. THURMAN to say so, but
the fact is that certain politicians who
have been hostile to Mr.. THURMAN, feel
ing themselves about to be overwhelmed
by the rising tide of public sentiment in
favor Of THURMAN, have made haste to
join in this sentiment, and to conceal
their own inconsistency claim that he
has been inconsistent.
The whole truth is that few wears
ago there was clause in the Democratic
State Platform which was interpreted to
mean unrestricted imitation. 1t was to
this Interpretation, and to this alone,
that THURMAN objected; and the party
has had the good sense never to repeat
it in any platform since. A hue and cry
was raised over HE rejection of this in
depreciation which took form in the un.
righteous scheme of running WIN. ALLEN
for President
However, il it affords the authors ol
that project any comfort to pretend that
the mountain has gone to Mahomet this
solace should not be grudged them.

ex-senator THURMAs's speech is a
masterpiece: It is characteristic Of the
man-bold, strong, clear, direct and hon
est. He confines his address to the Dem
ocratic State Platform, and his arguments
in support Of its doctrines are simply in
vincible.
We ate impatient to see at what point
any Republican orator who understands
the force of logic will assail it.

It Can beProven

That the flavor given to cakes, puddings,
creams and sauces, by Dr. Prices Spe-
cial Flavoring Extracts, are as natural as
the fruit from which they are made, and
as much unlike, in delicate flavor and
strength, the cheap extracts, as can pos
sibly be imagined.

week General Warner was serenaded at
the Dorr House, in this place, by the
Woods6eld Silver Cornet Band. After
two or three pieces had been played,
Gen. WARsEs was called for, and re
spcnded In an excellent though brief
speech. He spoke OF his reasons for
connecting himself with the Democratic
party, and gave summary Of his finan-
cial views. At the conclusion of his re
marks he was warmly appIauded.
