THE DEMOCRATIC JoLLIFICATIoN.
The Democrats of the county and
town had big procession aid carni-
val Of rejoicing over their National sue
cess, on last Friday evening. 1t was a
large affair, well conducted, and We are
glad to say, orderly, good natured and
brotberly. The people on the streets
did considerable huTrahiug for Blaine
IN response to the cheers for Cleveland, ,
consequently there were often pert and
sharp remarks and retorts, but it ended
there. We are obliged to the Bunker
Hill boys for friendly and kindly
cheer as they passed our residence on
tie pike.

HARD TIMES

Well, produce is low. work scarce
and money tight. This is not all.
Many persons predict that on ac-
count of the change Of administra-
ton this country will 90 lower in
the scale Of depression. just a word
here. Work is the panacea formuch
Of these evils. As for ourself, we
mean to work--work hard, early and
late, and pull through if energy and
faith and industry will achieve any
thing. We predict that those who
will work and are not ashamed of it.
will have no harder time than they
had last year. The trouble is, there
are so few workers and so many con-
sumers. About one to six and the
one has to clothe and feed the six.
and that often without thanks. So
many have not the moral courage to
earn their own living by the sweat
OF their browse many whilst adj
hitting descent from Adam and
Eve, yet think they were born a lit
tie better than their fellows. Said
one Of our best citizens to us on this
subject at takes as much courage
to do the duty Of life as it does to
face cannon on the battlefield. y
We rejoined: AYE, more-the NOR
al courage to do the work of every
day duty is an ever present neces-
sity, rewarded only by the conscious
knowledge and satisfaction of duty
performed, not q momentary occa-
sion upheld through fear Of the pub
lie clamor Of cowardice." SO it is.
Let us all to work and inspire conf
dence. Remember it was the fool
ish who said unto the wise: 'GiUe
us of your oil for our lamps are
gone out" But the wise answered
saying "Not so; lest there be not
! enough for us and you: but go We
rather to them that sell and buy fol-
yourselves"

JAMES G.. BLAINE.

We supported Mr.. Blaine without
any quibbling or questioning, as the
foremost man of the country, and
we may add of the world. 1t was
not a question of politics with the
INDEPENDENT, for such are now idle
fancy, but choice from the field of
what we deemed the best. We haul
down our flag with the grace of q
good citizen, and with the best
wishes of an American for the in
coming democratic administration
We can differ before elections, we
must unite afterwards as sons of a
great nation and brothers in a free
republic. Our confidence is too
deep, broad and stable in the strength
of our Union to hesitate for mo-
ment to march under the Star Span
gle Banner, and do our utmost for
the general prosperity of the coun-
try, let who may, be president.
There is sufficient room in the hearts
of his countrymen to build great
fame, to achieve undying renown, to
carve an illustrious civic heritage
for James &. Blaine. No opponent
can say that he is either small, mar
row or unworthy. His genius and
ability have excited fierce opposition
and biting rivalries. Envy and jeal-
ousy are more terrible in their re-
venge than honest difference in OBJ
position, and the former are glutted
to safety. Like Henry Clay, the
great commoner, he suffers defeat,
but unlike him, he is so youthful,
vigorous and mdaunted as to endure
and outlive present disaster and
wrest from future battle, conquest
and victory Look out for Blaine
in 1888, if he be among the living, as
the winning candidate for President
Of the country that he loves SO well
and who in honoring himwill honor
itself

The ELECTIONS AND THE IN
DEP ENDENT.

The INDEPENDENT has within two
months experienced two fierce and
bitter elections. 1t has not been the
organ OF any party and has not re-
ceived any ofthe candidates funds
or the proceeds Of any committees
campaign supplies. 1t has not pub
lished any tickets or conducted any
partisan warfare. 1t has boldly and
we trust, frankly and plainly ex-
pressed its own opinions and will as
as heroically bear the burden of it's
own sins, whether of omission or
commission. 1t has been the target
Tor minimizing prejudiceat the hands
OF both parties. Republicans called

Democrats called and went through
the same process. The INDEPENDENT

WORK FOR THE PRESS ASSO
CIATTON.

The West Virginia Press Associa-
ton will meet in Martinsburg within
a few weeks. There is plenty of
work for prudent consideration.
The meeting will precede session
Of the legislature. journalistic dis
cussion and comment in concen-
trated and natural form should ex-
ert considerable influence upon those
who have charge of State govern
ment. The uncalled for fixing of
printers rates, needs attention. But
that may be termed selfish and per-
sonal. The assessment law, as it af-
tects the producer, better known as
the farmer, should have positive and
united effort for public welfare.
The disposition of the permanent
school fund, as to how it should be
invested and cared for, is subject
worthy of careful, calm and unbias-
ed thought-the thought Of the citi-
izen and not the politician. The in
vasion Of the Supreme Court of the
State into the editors sanctum mer-
its full consideration, as applicable
to the sacred rights of every we'll
meaning editor. There are other
notices posted at Courthouse doors
and road crossings that should go to
the papers where every reading man
can see and be informed. Then there
are items Of a purely business ma
ture needing action. The advertis-
ing agent should be fairly treated
