A Reign Of Terror.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 22--Sec-
retary Mcpherson stated to Critic
man to-day that he had received
letter from Hon. ]. b. 4ellowby,
who is the Republican candidate
for Conngress in the Seventh Miss
issippi district, calling attention TO
the terrorism that has been inaugu-
rated there within the last few days.
Mr.. YelIowby states that the Bour-
bon State Central Committee has
issued Winchester rifles to Cleve-
land and Hendricks clubs, and that
preparations are complete for the
Bonrbons to carry the State by in
timidation and fraud. He says it
will be great risk of life for Repu6-
licans to attempt to vote in Coplah
county, which is in his district, and
linouires if it will prejudice his case
before Congress in the event OF a
contest should ne advise the Re-
publicans to stay away from the
polls. If 1T will he will do the best
/ he can Mr.. Mcpherson has adj
vised him to do the best he can. Mr.,
Yellowby was of the opinion that il
would be better not to try to vote IN
Copiah, as it would only lead to
slaughter and repetition Of ths
l"Printn Mathews scene of bloodshed
In the Sixth district, where the
Hon. J. R. Lynch is the candidate
things are in almost as deplorable
condition. This district embraces
a portion Of the old "Shoestring'
district, and the Republican MAORI
ty is $4,000, yet with the Winchest.
er rifle the Bourbons propose t
carry the district. 1t looks as though
there would be few Blaine and Lo
gan votes cast in several Mississippi
i counties next November.

LAST winter the Southern Demo
Gratis beat Randall for Speaker and
forced the election of Carlisle a free
trader. He organized a free trade
Committee of Ways and Means that
at once commenced an agitation to
reduce the tariff, and committed the
Democratic party to free trade.
Maine, Ohio, and West Virginia hav-
ing repudiated the free traders, they
are now trying to persuade the vot-
ers that they didn't mean it, and are
in favor of a tariff that viii protect
home labor.

Election Tuesday, November 4tl.

Now is the time to push things.
From this date, until the polls close
on Tuesday evening next. every Re-
publican who has the interests Of
the party and its candidates at
heart. should labor to swell the ma
iority, for the entire ticket. No in
telligent person doubts the complete
success of the National and County
candidates, in this State and in
this County. Owing to this fact there
is but little political excitement
among our people, and hence the ne
cessity for few days of active and
intelligent work before the close of
the canyass. Our opponents are
laboring actively and energetically.
not with any hope of ultimate sue
cess, but with the idea OF keeping
their party ranks solid, and trusting
that our usual majority will be re-
duced, not from dlsaffection, but by
reason of the suninsnaSS---pyadiaAsa
rying the State and County. We
therefore urge Republicans to arouse
themselves, and give active battle to
the enemy that is hoping to steal a
march on us. Go to work at once.
promptly and boldly, and give them
a raking fire along the whole line.
We gave Garfield 1850 majority in
1880, and we can do better than this
for Blaine and Logan, if we all go to
work with will 1t will be a shame
if we permit this County, noted and
appladded for its steadfast Republi-
Tssajorities, to fall into the rear
rank Of this momentous contest.
Forward then, Republicans From
this time until the election let there
be no cessation of effort-Push
things. The ticket, the whole ticket,
and nothing but the ticket should
oe our cry, No kicking, no boiling,
no nursing of old sores, no monkey
ing with Democratic side issues.
Our leaders are giants, our home
regiments are ofiieered bv men of

Driving into a Moving Tram.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.-Shortly
after 2 O'Clock this morning, as
train No. 10, on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Road was approaching the
city, the engineer saw team of
horses drawing wagon occupied
by a drunken driver approaching
the train. The whistle sounded
warning, but its only effect was to
increase the speed of the horses, and
a moment later collision occurred.
The wagon was crushed, while one
of the horses was thrown aside
with a broken leg and the other
one was killed outright. The driv-
er was lying by the road bruised
and bleeding. and with almost every
bone in his body broken. The col
lision resulted in throwing four
gonGola cars loaded with coal from
the track.

David DAVIS In the Campaign.

BLOOMINGTON, LII, Oct. 24.-The
feature of the Bloomington reception
was the personal endorsement of
David Davis, who had accepted the
position of presiding officer. No
man in the state stands higher than
David Davis. He is extrmely fas-
tidious in his idea of honor and
right. He has been held up for
years as the great model by the lead
ing Democratic organ of Chicago.
His personal endorsement of blaine
has been given with judicial deliber-
ateness and will have strong inau-
ence in the state. Judge Davis is
the man of whom Ingersolls said: HE
is the only man who has ever sue
ceeded in making independence re-
spectacle"

A Bloody Row on a Train.

WABASH, Ind, October pa
bloody row occurred on the Wabash
passenger train near this city this
evening. The train was full of peo-
pie returning from the Democratic
barbecue at Peru. A woman named
Colncipen, crased with liquor. drew
a long knife and began cutting and
slashing among the occupants OF the
car. Henry Garner was cut in the
left shoulder, N. Quinn dangerously
stabbed in the face and Conductor
Prince stabbed in the face. The wo-
man was finally elected from the
train.

In 1882 the Dem ocratic majority
liz Ohio on the Congressional vote
was 10,471. The Democrats elected
thirteen of the thirty.one members,
and the House afterwards unseated
two Republicans. This increased
the Democratic strength to fifteen,
and reduced the Republicans to six
members in the present House. At
the late election the Democrats Sc
cured only eleven members, a loss
of four, and the Republicans elected
ten, and thus gained four. The Re-
publicans have a majority of 1890
against the Democratic majority two
years since of 10,471, thus showing
a Republican gain of 3S,S41. Still
.he Democrats claim that they gain
ed a signal victory, and are pranclag
around like ribboned horses at a
county fair.

IT is estimated that about ninety
FIVE per cent of the cost OF nearly
every article made, is in the labor.
II therefore, foreign goods and wares
are sold in this country because OF a
reduction in our tariff, it will be the

Election Tuesday, November Alb.

ANY man of middle age, who will
turn his thoughts backward to the
days of his youth, and recall to
memory the prices then paid for
most goods and necessary wares,
and compare them with present
prices, will marvel at the immense
reduction that has taken place.
This result is almost entirely due to
the protective tariff, which by foster
ing manufactures has so stimulated
competition, and compelled econo-
mical methods and the introduction
of improved machinery as to reduce
prices to their present low point.
On the other hand, largely owing to
the same policy, which has built
up manufacturing industries that
employ large numbers of people,
who otherwise would be compelled
to raise their own food the price of
farm products has greatly increased,
and the farmer can now buy with
the same amount of his products
much more than he could twenty
FIVE years ago. A farmer writing to
the Lancaster Examiner makes this
point so clear, that we reproduce his
statement for the benefit of the far
mers who read this paper, Says
remember very well in my
short life time when it took good
cow to buy a good cooking stove.
To-day good cow will furnish the
best kitchen in the land with cook
ing stove and all the utensils neces-
sary for a well regulated kitch-
en-.
/ worked for years as watchma-
ker and | remember well when it
took good horse to buy a good
clock, and to-day the price of a good
horse will set you up in respecta-
BILE watch and clock business.
Clocks for dollar. A good horse is
ell the way from 500 to $1,000.
Why, sir, it used to take in my
short life time whole calf to buy a
saw. To day you can buy the best
of Diston's make for the hide of a
calf.
| remmeber when it took a pouna
of the best butter to buy pound of
nails. To day you can buy a
pound of nails with quart ofskim-
med milk"
Yet you talk about protection to
the farmer. Where has his COM
modify fallen in price +? Every 9TH
er commodity has fallen by reason
of Protection while the farmer has
always held his own or rose steadily
from year to year
What the farmer buys is cheaper,
because OF the vast competition in
their manufacture by reason Of the |
Tariff.
What the farmer sells brings him
higher prices, because the tariff has
given him SO many more mouths to
feed, and so many more markets for
his produce.
Tariff has raised the price of farm |
produce, and lowered the prices of
manufactured articles used by farm
ers.

OUR callow young friend of the
Democrat, last week paraded a per-
feet brood of dung hill cocks to crow
over fancied victory in Ohio. The
size of that victory" may be esti-
mated from the fact that two years
ago they carried the State by 10000
majority, and last year they had 49,
600. This year the Republicans
wipe out this majority, and pile up
one of their own, amounting to
nearly twenty thousand. And yet
in the face of those facts and figures,
the Democrat tries to make its read
ers believe that the Republicans sus-
tanned defeat. Ohio put the De-
mocracy into its little bed, and the
growing of all the cocks in the
country cannot bring day dawn to
its hopes.

DEMOCRATIC hopes are centered
upon New York, and they are
doomed to disappointment. The
Republicans have carried that state
six times out of seven at National ell
eetians held since, 1852 NNhusbAssls
offered any reason why. except that
Cleveland carried it in 1882 when
the Republicans were all broken up
because of division in their ranks.
The same year Pennsylvania was
thrown into the hands of the Demo-
crats, through the detection of dis
gruntled Republicans, and yet does
anyone doubt that she will now give
an immense majority for the Repub-
lican ticket? Why should New
York not do the same thing? Does
anyone suppose that there are fewer
Republicans, or more Democrats in
that State, or in this, according 20
the increase of population than
there were in 1880? The truth is
that without New York the Demo-
Gratis are badly beaten, and hence all
this brag and bluster about carrying
it. The Republicans of New York
are flushed with our success in
Maine, Vermont, and Ohio, and our
immense gains in West Virginia, and
this means that they will not only
fight their own State inch by inch,
but it means Republican victory.
The Democrats stake their last hope
on New York and they are bound to
lose.
