WHY GRAc4 is a SANDIDATE.
Did Turner ProInise not 10 Oppose
Him.

The Hickman COURIER has urged demo-
Gratis 10 support Judge Grace for the pnr-
pose of re-uni.ing and harmonizing the
party. We were induced to hope that the
harmony of the party could be thus effect
ed, for The reason That we were caused to

this view.

that II would heal all dissensions, an

Judze Grace is true Democrat and4io-
-eral man and is presented as peaceofer-
ing to unite the divided democrats Of this
Congressional district.
He is the nominee OF convention 10
be sure, but he is also a candidate st the
solicitation of a respectable number OF
democrats who have heretofore and yet
oppess onvea,icns His liberal charac-
ter makes him acceptable to large mum
ber of primary election democrats In
ioint discussion, he proposed to Turner,
naying aside his nominaiion) to sho" let
ters inviting his (Grace's) candidacy ana
~ he did Mt show Two to Turner's one, he
would quit the track.
This indicates an effort on the part of
many democrats, who are weary OF our
local quarrel, to bring about harmony and
to reunite the party.
Il there Dsmoorat in the District who
would no, prefer to see his party reunls'
ed?
IL Judge Gaacs had in response to let
ters received, declared himself en- indie
pendent candidate for Congress, his can
didscy would have been heartily accepta-
bic to the primary slec,ion democrats
because his liberal character and entire
freedom from any possible association
with supposed or real ''rings and cliques
made him acceptable 10 them.
The only objection that primary elec
tiou Democrats now have 10 him Is that M

creased in the last year probably more than
any other branch Of trade. In the face OF
the rain and mud each succeeding month
has shown larger sales than the one pre-
ceding it. Prices here are below a parity
with other western aud southern cities, and
Notwithstanding the advance in nearly all
manufactured goods, our dealers have
maintained the low figures of last summer
and fall
In the east there has been an advance in
butts, hinges, pad-locks, and paddock keys
and many other articles. English cutlery

QUEENswARE.

The queensware trade of this city is
gradually growing into one of the most i'm
portant branches OF our mercantile pursuits.
A dealer informs us that he is in constant
receipt of small crates of ware, which he
imports direct, and which have been
assorted specially for this market. His
trade in the last twelve months is fourfold
larger than it was year ago.
The total shipments of crockeryware from
great Britain to the United States during
1881 were 93,032 crates, against 99,9I7 in
1850. A strike in the Stailordshire potteries
interiered with shipments toward the close
OF 1881, but il was ended early in January,
1882; there has also been some scarcity of
count of the strike. The run upon deco
rated ware which began with the Centennial
continues, and the demand for ii is al
most greater than the trade can supply.
American potteries keep TO the commoner
grades of white ware, but some advances
are being made in decoration, chiefly, how
ever, in making goods with simple bands OF
color. The prices of fruitjars are now be-
ing discussed by buyers and sellers AT q
Z ,cent convention of manufacturers OF
green glass, held in Washington, prices for
all dealers were fixed upon, and It was de-
cided that rebate of 81 per gross should be
given to those dealers who should not cut
the rates fixed by the manufacturers who
also agreed to close up during July and
August so as to prevent over-production
and cutting of prices among themselves
The trade is therefore now upon close mar
gins, and the business is down to a fine
point, so to speak. The lamp trade is very
active. The laws of the different states
making it illegal to sell combustible oil
have given the people in those states more
confidence, and the use of coal oil has In.
creased. Such lamps are now In use upon
ocean steamers in factories, ETC., where
their use is considered fully as safe, if in.
deed not more so, than gas. Decorations
upon lamps continue as extravagant and
handsome as ever, and the new burners, SC
extensively used, prevent smoking and
odor.
