To my Friends and Customers.

I have recently sold my stock of goods to Brooks, Hamilton X Go. who have also bought Mrs NJ. V. Hamilton's stock, owned by. Mar tin & Co. The two stocks have been purchased at a price that will justify them in selling goods for cash, the lowest ever before offer ed in Prescott. Close cash buyers will find it to their interest to pur- chase their goods from them. They will continue business at my old stand on West Main s+seet, where Messrs Hamn,ilton, Thorburn, Cheatem. II. G. Boooks and my aelf twill be found to give the wants of the people attention. l especial ly solicit continuance of patron. age from my frends and ustsmers. All accounts and notes due me to be collected by me personally.
 Respectfully,

Noting tho Hcrald's one-sided sugges-

OF DIR. Holiness verses. For example:
Thou glorious island Of the seal
Though wide the wasting food
That parts our distant land from thee,
We claim thy generous blood.
Or again the lines "To an English
Friend :"
Though fiery sun and stifiening cold
May change tho fair ancestral mould,
No winter chills, no summer drains
The life-blood drawn from English veins,
Still bearing whereso'e or 1t flows
The love that with its fountain rose,
Unchanged by space, unwronged by time,
From age to age, from CLINE to climo!
The true policy is to be just to both

Let poubt be pIspelIed.

II is claimed that the President is n
protoctionist, and his acceptance Of tho
tariff plank in thd Democratic national
platform of 1884 is cited as positive proof
of that claim.
II is claimed that the President Is n
radical revenue reformor OF the Carlisle
Morrison type, and his acceptance of tho
same plank of tho same platform is cited
to prove this claim.
All over the country thero is a feeling
Of uncertainty, and the anxious people
grope in darkness, longing for light on
the great question, Where does the Prcsi-
dent stand on the tariff issue? They ask
one Of another, aud no one makes salts
factory reply. Ishe with Randall or is ho
with Carlisle9 1s he with the majority
of Democrats who voted for the Morrison
monstrosity2 or does his soul cleave to

The unwholsomo doubt that obtains
ought to be dispelled. Its influence is
altogether bad. Better tho most appall.
ing certainty than the continuance Of
dreadful suspense.
And it eau be dispolled. The central
organ of the Democratic faith, our
esteemed contemporary, can-and we feel
sure will-make known to the country
the exact position and precise attitude
of the President on this leading and last
ing issue.
Is he with Randall2 Is he with Car.
Isle? Is he straddling SO as to be little
with both? Let the organ speak out
Tho anxious nation waits the response
with bated breath.

Mr.. CREELMAN, of Indianapolis, wanted
to be postmaster, Congressman Bynum
also wanted him to be postmaster. But
President Cleveland very properly bark
ened unto the prayers of Vice President
Hendricks and appointed another man.
And now it is reported that Mr. Creel.
man is going around calling Mr.. Hen
bricks "a traitor to his best friends"
and alleging that he secured the appoint
mept for his friend Jones from the Pres
ident "by getting down on his d. old
knees and begging like dog for it," 1t
is really very surprising how failure to
get postoiiice can ruflle mans temper.
Mr.. Creelman's temper is obviously all
tore up" Some day in the future his re-
gret over his unkind illusions to the
Vice President will be something pro-
digious to witness. But then nobody
knows better than Mr.. Hendricks how
awfully and intensely hungry and thirsty
Indiana Democrats are, and no will know
how to make allowances for Mr. Creel.

General Smith, of the navy, was continued by
the court OF inquiry yesterday Mr.. Smith
testified that the contract with Austin r.
Brown Of Nov. II, 1882 was advertised for two
weeks In two daily papers, and In one weekly
paper. The law providing that advertise
lnonts for supplies be published 'once u week
for at least four weeks" was construed to mean
merely four publications. Being asked under
what authority no had doubled contracts for
beef aud pork under the contract OF Nov. II.
1851 Mr. Smith referred TO section $3.50 Revised
Statutes, which recognizes the authority OF the
department to extend contracts as 10 quality
and time and to section 3726, which au-
thorizeS the purchase Of all preserved meats
and other articles named IN such manner and
under such restrictions and guarantees as the
Secretary may prescribe. The witness inter
preted the term preserved meats as includ.
ing salt beef and salt pork, though when used
