Democrats on state and electoral tickets.
Their state convention met at Topeka Thurs
day, with the Democratic convention, and
adopted the fusion to elect Click for gov
ernor and Halliday for lieutenant governor,
with great show of enthusiasm. The move
ment is likely to reduce the Republican ma

sooner or later, in again legalizing the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in
Kansas.

Her Dear Lft,le Brute.
[Camhridge Tribune.l

A fashionable young lady at the grand
Union, in Saratoga, gives the following ac-
count Of her silver poodle: "He's a daisy
he is. So nice and clever. He has his tooth
brush, and keeps just as still when the maid
uses it with the powder. He barks to have
his hair oiled and combed, and takes sham
poo with perfect delight. When he goes to
bed he lays his head ON the pillow and goes
to sleep like tired boy. It's lots Of work
caring for the brute, though. There's one
thing I'm thankful for, he's always dressed
n the morning."

TuE election campaign in Kansas this fall
will have special interest for all who are in
terested in the prohibition question. That
sta te, under the lead of St. John and his as
J sociaies in the prohibition movement has
adopted as part of Its constitution an abso-
lutte prohibition of the manufacture and traf-
tle in Intoxicating liquors. 1t is said the re-
suit has not answered the expectations of the
froh'o'uonistS, and it is apparent that the
anti-prOhibitiou feeling in that state Is
stronger than ever before. Those who
are opposed TO the prohibition have
now organized party throughout the state,
aud, calling themselves resuomissionists,
demand that the question be again submit
ted to popular vote. They viii make their

TUE effort of Mr.. Blaine and his friends to
pose himself upon the Irish and working
men as their champion is simply ridiculous
and places him before the American people
as an arrant demagogue. Blaine is the
friend of monopoly and Of corrupt, fraudu-
lent jobbers, and hates the Irish Catholics
worse than he does tophet. He has made a
fortune by political iobbery. His house in
Washington is the finest residence in that
city, aud every dollar it cost has been wrung
from the poor lsboriug classes. Read what

A committee Of our representa-
tive men went to Saluda River last
Monday for the purpose Of esti-
mating the probable cost ola bridge
connecting Newberry and Edgefeld
Counties and deciding upon suita-
bic place for the proposed bridge.
After surveying the crossings at
Kinard's S and Bouknight's the COM
mittec decided that the latter is the
most suitable place, and estimated
that Q bridge could be built there
at a cost Of $1,000.
The people inhabiting that strip
of Edgefcld which lies just across
the river arc entitled to better
courthouse facilities. They are
too far from their market and their
courts, and but for Saluda River
their trade would flow naturally to
Newberry. Tie proposed bridge
would greatly benefit them, and
would, it seems to us, confer in
calculable benefit upon our town.
We heartily wish the movement
success.
