That paper says:
In selecting the nominees of a
party all the individual members OF
that party cannot, and should not,
expect i,h every instance to get the
men they most desire.
1t is utterly impossible TO please
everybody, and, therefore, it is no,
surprising that here and there some
complaints are heard and some dis
satisfaction expressed. But let every
true Democrat pause and consider
well before he allows his personal
preferences and prejudiceS to mill
/ tate against the C OF the party
upon which the very welfare of bis
section depends.
He may not like this OF that mar
on the ticket, but then let him ask
himself if he is willing to aid, by bis
non-action and Indifference, in the
election Off Radical who, perchance,
Is even more Objectionable in person
and infinitely more distastetul in
politics.
Remember that a failure to vote
for a Democratic nominee is virtually
casting half a vote for a Radical can
didate, and that is as much as the
RAIDS expect or, hope from you.
Contrast the two tickets now pre-
ten,ed to the people of the county
and inquire if the Democratic nom.
inees are not vastly to be preferred
to their Radical opponents. Can
there be urged a particle in deroga
ton of the personal and official integ
rity Of our can hidates? And can AZ
much be said BIT the men who are
claiming office on the other side.
II is the duty of every Granville
Democrat to stand staunch!y to the
candidates Of his party if he wishes
to retain in the county an homes,
and economical administration O
public affairs.

BUSINESS MAXIMS.

\ prominent merchant has COM
piled the following maxims from his
own experience.
L. Choose the kind Of business
YOU understand.
, Capital is positively required
in business, even if you have real es-
tate outside and credit ever so good.
3. One kind of business is as
much IS . man can manage success
fully. Investments on The outside
do not generally pay, especially if
YOU require the money in your bust
ness.
4. Buy cautiously and just what
YOU want, and do not be persuaded
10 purchase what YOU do not need /;
if You do, Won will soon want what
You can't buy.
). Insure your stock insure your
store; insure your. dwelling if you
have one. II the rate is high it is
only because the risk is great, and
of course You should not take the
IlSk NpiiStll. ~ OuSlIltSS t1dl Vii
not pay for msuring will noe justify
running.
6. Sell to good, responsible par.
ties only. Sell on specified time
and when your money is due de.
manl il; do not let the accoun,
stand without note or interest fol
and indefinite period.
I. Sell at a reaonable profit anG
never mlsrepresent to effect a sale
$. Live within your income
keep your business TO yourself; have
patience and you will succeed.
9. Competition is the lite o
trade but in trying to run your com
pctitor out Of business be careful
YOU do not III yourself out.
10. Advertise. your business i
your no me paper. 1t pays to pa'
rouize the printer.

Protesting POrGe.

Berlin, 1S.-The Turkish reply to that
part of the identical note relating to the
Greek question, says: 1.-THE Porte has not
replied to Lord Sa isbury's dispatch IN
regard 10 the international commission Of
delimitation, because it objected to the
principle Of such commission. The
Porte, admitting the impossibility of an
agreement between Turkey and Greece,
desires mediation of the powers, as pro-
vided by article twenty-five OF the treaty
of Berlin, as the only proper means of
solving the question.
The Porte would therefore not object to
the proposed conference, but for the
apparent fact that it will be instructed TO
make decisions IrrecOncilADle with the
idea of mediation. The Porte has always
understood that mediation would adj
dress itself 20 the states Interested, especi-
ally that one which is called upon to
make sacrifces. Such mediation should ex-
clude all fears of attack on the independ-
ence Of the Porte and the freedom of its
deliberations. If the conference has
only the object of preparing a con
cliatory line of action calculated
to lead an agreement freely accepted by
the powers which is in possession
Of disputed territory, then the Porte, re-
assured to its independence, has only 70
consider overtures which mediatory
powers may wish TO make As for the
delimitation commission which the con-
ference is to ser d, it cannot sgreeably
with all the rules and presidents have
any other mandate than to apply upon
the spot the line previously agreed upon
between the powers and the state which
is called upon to make the surrender of
territory. The Porte, declaring its reso-
luton 10 facilitate the least of medistOry
powers, and relying on the justice and
Il endship of the sigDatories of the treaty
CT Berlin, will seize every occasion TO ex-
hibit its good will and Difference to-
wards Europe.
