mocracy can easily elect Proctor Knott
by $4,000 as by 10000 and if every
man will waltz TO the music of q
manifest duty, his majority will ex
coed even the greater figure. We
therefore call upon the committees
and sub committees of the various
counties TO go 10 work while il is call
ed to-day and organize for the grand
est results.
The great telegraph operators
strike continues with but little show Of
an early adjustment of the differences
between the companies and strikers.
So far enough operators have been Sc.
cured outside of the brotherhood to
nearly keep up with the business and
the strike is in consequence, not
so disastrous to business and other
affairs as it might be. We. believe
that in the first place the opera
tors demanded too much. They had
grievances and great ones but they
should have been little more moder-
ate and perhaps the trouble would
have been ayerted. So far tn y have
conducted themselves with great or.
der and decorum and so long as they
use no violence and resort to no un-
lawful means to secure their demands,
public sentiment will be in their favor.
1t is the right of every American citi-
zen to quit work when he thinks that
the consideration for his services is
inadequate, but when he wont work
himself nor allow others to do 80, he
goes little further than he has the
right and further than he will be sus
tanned by the public. Ii seems like a
compromise could early be effected, il
either party showed a disposition and
we trust for the sake of all concerned
that it will be speedily made.
THE State Central Committee urg.
es upon the County Committees the
importance of providing each voting
place in their Jurisdiction with printed
tickets containing both the names OF
our State ticket and the nominees for
the Legislature. These tickets can be
procured for a mere song and as the
Committee says experience shows
that at each general election many
persons, from inadvertence, vote for
the local candidates alone, who would,
with such tickets provided, vote also
for the State ticket. A general COM
pliance with this suggestion we esti-
mate will make a difference of To-
900 or 2O,OOO votes in our favor"
WHEN we commenced to publish
Mr.. Barnes interesting aud valuable
lettersfrom the old world, We announced
that papers reproducing them without
credit, would have no further oppOr-
tunity of doing so as we would imme-
diately strike them from our exchange
list In conformity with that an
nouncement We have dropped" sew
eral and will continue to do so as occa-
sion presents itself. 1t was a reasOna.
BILE demand 10 make and the paper
that is too mean 10 grant it, is much
too mean for journalistic favor.
Tom THUMB gave no tree exhibit
tons of himself during life but in
death the crowd which ever stands
ready to attend a free show. we're ac-
commOdated. His remains, it is said,
were viewed by fully 10000 people,
not half Of whom would have gone
had tho admission been even ten
cents.
SMOKERS who ex pected 10 pay less
for their cigars when the reduction Of
the tax on cigars went into effect are
disappointed. Their smoke after din
ner u just as expensive as when the
old tax was levied. The reduction of
tax from SO TO 50 a thousand has only
affected the wholesale price.
Mas. LAEGFRY sailed for England
yesterday with 500. 900 of American
money, levied from Us for a look at
beauty, which does not come under
the head of pretty is as pretty does
judging by the scandalous manner in
which she has acted with Freddie Geb.
