Smiled on. The conductor, who for
many consecutive days had seen the

The lad looked up, waved his open

for any evident reason, but with the me-
chanlcal manner Of one accustomed to do
so. Then he spoke as follows:

ISSUES TO BE MADE.

Blaine's letter may be said to be
the beginning of the republican cam
paign, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat, which will now be open
ed in earnest. The republican liter
airy bureau was organized at Wash
lngton the past week, and will at
once commence flooding the coun-
try with pamphlets and documents
and it may be remarked incident
ally that it is the determination of
the republicans to give an unusual
and extraordinary quantity of cam
paign literature this year.
AT the first meeting the various
members of the committee talked
over the matter and decided on the
issues TO be most pushed. In accor-
dance with the Blaine letter, the
tariff will be taken up first of all,
and plenty of tariff tracts scattered
over the land. An attempt will be
made to show that the democratic
platform is insineere and contradic
tory on this point, and documents
will be circulated by the million and
sent to every laborer and capitalist
IN the country, warning him against
the democracy as dangerous to the
commercial and industrial classes.
Other issues will be used in other
states. Blaine's speech on the Vir-
ginia debt question will be scattered
throughout the Old Dominion; the
Danville and Copiah Investigations
will be employed to fire the northern
heart where firing is needed; and,
finally, Logan's advocacy of addi-
tional pensions will be sent to the
old soldiers to win their support for
the ticket.
The decision of this literary bu-
reau for the approaching campaign
shows what a paucity of issues the
republicans have. Nothing but the
tariff, Copiah and pension bill, that
Logan framed but could not carry.
The latter two measures will be but
SIDE issues Of little strength orvalue
AS for the tariff, the action of the
democratic convention, and the plat
form adopted by it, has defeated
this, about the only issue on which
Blaine's party counted in the coming

A Bad Burn

Frank Huntoon, the fourteen yca1 old
son Of John Huntoon, met with very
painful accide Mt at Reticker's broom fac
tory yesterday. He opened the door of a
large heating stove which was very hot at
the time, and stopped to spit into the fire
when his right eye came in contact with
the upper edge of the door and the eye
lid and also the ball of the eye was
burned. The injury was very painful I'M
til DIR. Craig applied the proper means OF
relief. Young Huntoon may lose the
sight of the eye entirely. His friends
sympathize with him, for he is an excel
lent boy, studious and Industrious, and OF
good moral character.
