A Testimonial to General Cling
man.

We are pleased to announce that a
movement is now on foot to reward Geo
eral Clingman for the great good he has
bestowed upon the human race in making
known the wonderful curative virtues
of tobacco. The proposed reward is to be
a presentation of well filled pocket-book;
and Messrs. Riggs & Co., bankers of this
city, will received all moneys and place
the same to the Generals Iedit.
There is scarcely a home In the Land
but will be benefited by General Cling
man discovery. thousands have already
been saved weeks and months ofsufFering,
aud scores have actually been saved from
falling into premature graves.
Had he been of a sordid nature he
would haze had his discovery patented
and then have doled it out to you at so
much a bottle, but his great sym pathetic
nature and his love OF doing good impelled
him to act otherwise. We sincerely hope,
therefore, that each and every reader
will give his mite towards this fund. 1t
is usual to day to offer large sums ofmon
ey for remedies to cure cholera, small
pox, yellow fever, and the like, which
ailments may only visit our countr once
in a generation. Yet here we have in
our midst a philanthropist who gives us
a cure, a specific, Tor a score or more all
ments hat are of daily occurrence and
that often end in loss Of life. Now did
our nlggardly nature refuse to reward
such a benefactor then we surely ought
to suffer and even die, for the world
would certainly be better without us.
OF course those who have been directly
benefited by the Generals discovery viii
be apt to be the largest contributors, but
we ask all our readers to contribute al
least from 81 upwards, for by SO doing
they will pay a just tribute to i deserving
man. Address all money to Messr ).

Aunt DiIIy's Thanksgiving.

Rejoicing over the Democratic victories
Is not confined to men. There are daintily
bodiced bosoms that swell as tumultu-
ously over-''the latest from New York,
as do the Truly-Dis-Loyal old Heroes
who have borne the heat and burden OF
every brick battish epithet from FIRE
Eater" ..Secesh," Traitor" Rebel
Brigadier," down to "Ku klux," and
'Dauvillian' in general. If you want to
see a real and genuine joy, mixed with
| religious gratitude and Thanksgiving,
over the long-delayed redemption OF the
South from personal humiliation and
political vassalage, Just listen to the con-
versation of a party of well bred ladies'
who are old enough to have witnessed
the last gasp of the C~onfederacy, ard the
| slow Crucifxion OF our people during the
dozen years thereafter
They do say Aunt Oily Franklin"
| who lives near the polls in Swift Creek
township, is "a bigger man than ole
Grant" when it comes to standing up
| for Cleveland aud Cox. Like Aunt Abby
| House she never lowers her flag.
Here is a note from her:

The Democratic Nominations
and Platform.

The Democratic Presidential ticket
has been received with great favor
throughout the Union. We think a
wiser choice could scarcely have been
made, Mr.. Cleveland backed as he is
by an unimpeachable reform record, by
the support of the independent voters
who hold the balance of power in his
own State, and having the prestige of
having been elected by the largest ma
jority ever received by any Governor,
will surely carry New York, and as to
Indiana, it has never failed to go dem
Ocratic when Mr.. Hendricks was can
didate. He carried the State in 1876 by
a majority of eight thousand. With
New York and Indiana assured to the
Democracy, not taking into account
New Jersey, Connecticut or Massachu-
sets in which there are excellent
chances for the success Of the ticket,
the present indications point strongly
to the Inauguration of a democratic ad-
ministration.
The platform adopted seems to have
given general satisfaction. ALI shades
of the party seem to be pleased with it
except the nondesripts headed by the
redoubtable Butler. We take it that
the Republicans, and especially Mr..
Blaine, were grievously disappointed
in the Democratic platform. They ex-
pected the Democrats to reafirm their
old platform planks on the tariff ques-
tion and that the manufacturers all
over the North would take alarm, as
they did in the Garfield campaign, and
as they did before, contribute millions
to their campaign fund, with which the
doubtful States could be bought. Now
they will have to accept the challenge
thrown to them of a campaign upon
the question of reform-a campaign in
which Mr.. Blaine viii be on the defen-
sive from this time up to the election.
The prospects are more than good,
and we congratulate the Chicago Con-
yention upon the wisdom and prudence
of its actions, both ais to its nominees
and its platform.

THE PUBLIC LANDS

ought, as far as possible, to be kept as
homesteads for actual settlers that all
unearned lands heretofore improvident-
" granted to railroad corporations by
the action of the Republican party
should be restored to the public domain,
and that no more grants of lands shall
be made to corporations or be allowed

"We are opposed to all propositions
which, upon any pretext, would convert
the general government into machine

sin reafirming the declaration of the
Democratic platform of 1856, that the
liberal principles embodied by Jefferson
in the Declaration of Independence, and
sanctioned in the Constitution which
makes ours land of liberty and the
asylum of the oppressed of every. nation,
have ever been cardinal principles in
Democratic faith we nevertheless do
not sanction the importation of foreign
labor or the admission of serylle races
untitled by habits of training, religion
or kindred for absorption into the great
body of our people or for the citizenship
which our laws confer. American civil
