of the recommendation, however, would
have prevented the Generals restoration

being more than three times the amount OF
the pension, the General regrets their In
reference in his affairs, hoping for, and
being likely to receive, more substantial
benefits from the democrats. He has thus
taught his superservicable friends lesson
in the art of thinking before speaking.

TAKE THE OFFICE

Some Democratic paper asserts that
the ISSUES which brought the Republi-
can party into favor nave all been set
tied and that il is Time for the party
10 die. If that is any reason for the
death of the Republican party then
the Democratic party should not only
have been forgotten, but never dream
ed of. The truth is aud our hope is
that the Democratic party will CONT
nue. the governmental policy mapped
out by the Republican party. The
closer they copy after the more pros
porous well the country be. Take all
the offices but don't ruin the country
and PROSTATE all lis manufacturing
interests and industrial pursuits by
running OFT after some impractical
theories found only in the brain of
college made statesmen, or born 10
rule mugwumps.

HOW DO YOU LIKE 1T?

The southern papers are intimatin9
10 the northern Democrats that the
solid south furnished one hundred and
fifty thee of the electoral votes, or
three-f 'urihs of the votes necessary
TO elect Mr.. Cleveland president, and
that that The south therefore, in de-
handing three-iourths say in direct
ing the affairs Of The government, aud
ihree-f .urths OF the off les is demand
ing only the mathcms'ic lily fair thing.
Not only that, but their three fourths
maj ,rity holds good as to The Demo-
cratic strength in both honses of the
national congress. While the matter
on its face seems little rough vet.
with Mr.. Blaine, in his talk night before
last, we see no help for il. Human
nature is much The same everywhere,
aud the south is only claiming what il
seems fairly entitled to. OF course the
Republican party has ever since it has
been ia power restrained the aspira-
,inns of the southern leaders. But
that day is gone.

WHY BEATEN.

The Republican party was called in

ti"ns aud 10 wire out slavery. 10 guar
antee free speech aud free ballot.
For twenty odd years il has been in
power and whil- il has ever asserted
its great cardinal ,iocI riue of freedom.
il has failed 10 enforce when il had the
power to do so. 1t gave the black
man of the south the ballot but in fail
ing TO protect him In his new freedom
the parry lost the very element, the
yer, balance Of power needed in the
las, campaign. SO far as the colo red
man in the south is concerned, il
would have been better for him had
the Republican party never enfran-
chised or given him the power of Il
free man. Blu, for the right to vote
thousands of these poor fellows who
have fallen in death would be alive to-

a boon or protection, but upon the
other hand has caused them oppres-

CLEARWATER.


10 hs Editor OF the pasty Ed1<:
As the long and doubtful question
of who shall be our next president
has been decided and Mr.. Cleveland
is the man, we will I'll 60 TO work and
endcavor to do our part in sustaining
the laws and unfolding the govern
ment which protects us. The office
Of president belongs to the people,
and the man who fills that Office is
designated by the people, SO let us as
good citizens sag amen to the peoples
choice, and hope for a continuance OF
the policy which has brought us hon
or, prosperity and power at home
and among the nations of the earth.
The strength of our government is
in the will of the people being obeyed
and not in the choice ofany one man
or party, and while the chcice Of our
man or our party may be defeated,
let us show our loyalty by good eth
zenship and continue at the same time
TO keep alive those great prin-
ciples for which We fought
and for hich we believe the life of
the nation is indebted. Our city con
tinues in its even way of building and
making p rmanent improvement, and
while some kinds of business was
overdone and others not up to their
demands, all these are assuming such
changes as the country needs. The
Peterson boys have built large car
riage and blacksmith shop, where they
expect TO do a large business. Mr..
Laidland, our young and active agent
for Dickec e. Stout, wheat buyers, has
put up set of scales and built nice
office. All our four wheat and corn
buyers are doing large bushes in the
grain market. Mr.. Samuel Hammers
has Just completed an ele-
CANT residence on his beautiful farm
southeast of the city. NJ ssrs Bozley
& Co. have sold their meat market to
John Evans, who has just moved into
town and built fine residence. A
new meat market has just been started.
j. NJ. Tracey, Esq, is still postmaster
of the city. Mr.. +. Heneion, the pop.
ular merchant of the genera store, is
selling out his stock Of clothing and is
putting in a fine assortment of drugs
and medicines. M. II. has been thor
oughly educated in the drug business,
and for years was connected
with large establishment in
st. Louis as prescription clerk, aud
has been In the drug business ever
since. With this addition we eau
boast of two of the best and most
competent druggists in this part ofths
state, Ben Bear L. +. HENSON. Our
business men are doing fair bust
ness, and the people are satisfied with
the prices asked for all kin Is Of goods.
The election returns show that ST.
John had two votes in this tow nship.
Our best and most thorough practical
temperance men believe st. John was
the cause purposely of defeating
Blaine i'm New York. and say that his
actions has put back the cause of tenn
perance many years. If Mr.. st. John
had confined his efforts TO state action
in place of national, no one would
have found fault, for before the qucs-
ton can become national. majority
of the states must be committed TO
prohibition. He became big headed
like Greeley and has like Greeley dug
