Political Notes.


PUT Oregon down for Cleveland
VOTE for CIeaveland and low taxes.
The Republicans only claim Oregea
10y 800.
HARD times Vote for Cleveland and
"a change.
HsS. SAN. CoLvEE is ''daisy" and
ne mistake.
VoTE AS You PRAY is TIE slogan
cry of ST John.
voTE for Blaine, high taxes and low
prices for produce.
DoUGLAs County will show a Deme-
orntic gain over the vote Of last June
WEY do the Republican speakers
neglect to tel! us about the failure of
the United States senate to forfeit the
lapsed railroad land g~artS
EVERY Democrat must do his duty
and be en- the lookout for Republican
tricks and Republican lies from DOW
till The polls close or ele;tion day.
4 great labor demonstration and
mass meeting took place recently at
Hamilton, Ont. Resolutions were Of
feed demanding the immediate stol-
page Of Chinese immigration.
IT is all very fine for EIr. Blaine
and others who have Gesn or. the in
side and had the advantage Of the
favoritism of the Government to talk
about the wonderful prosperity cf the
country, but to the farmer and labor
ing masses who have been plur dered
by this system such talk must have a
hallow deathIy soanl.
TIE small majority TIE Republicans
obtained in Ohio is stunning blow to
tbeir prospect for success in Novem-
ber. It is the smallest majority they
have ever received in that State in a
Presidential year, and indicates that
the drift is setting strongly against
them. For if they can only carry
Ohio by bare majority after concen-
trating tee whole feSce of their Nation
al Committee on it. they will have /;
poor show in New York, Indiana, New
Jersey and other States.
1t is reported that day or two agc
Mr. st. John went into Kansas drug
store and callod for glass of sol;
water, His left eye accidently twitch
ed as the clerk gazed at him inquiring
!, ly. The mistaken clerk, not KNOWN!
: the gentleman, gave him liberal al
J lowance Of the usual favor demande,
, on such occasions, and the glass wa
drained to it's drogs. "My goodness
2 gracious me" said the candidate
| smacking his lips. 81 don't see ho,
: men can drink liquor when they ca
get soda water like that"
10000 men in OHIO own 100000
sheep, therefore, they are in favor c
: protection, by which we know that thel
were about 10000 focls in Ohio if tha
: number want protection For thes
10000 men pay 81. .64l, 900 as the
: share of tke protection-tax. Thei
100000 sheep will yield about %,
i 100000 pounds Of wool which at te
> cents per pound protection woul
yield them $2,250,0O0 or about So,
: each. Amy man who wilt pay IS;
. for the sake OF getting $25 of it bac
again is a co 1demnad idiot.
. THE loss to farmers in hcldir
y their stored crops for better prices ms
i be estimated at millions every yea
e We do not say that sometimes they
. not gain by 1t but on the whole Il
risk is great, and three times ont
9 four is losing one The waste fro
shrinkage and vermin alone is consit
:. erable, but our experience is that bt
sides this it is better to sell wht
there is demand and the crop & reae
;, for the MARKET The grower at leo
. has in pocket the going price of Il
- products, and if he has a surplus
put out on interest, or interest to pa

It is true that when there is no i on
