The Danbury Democrat says that Miss Amelia Pixley, daughter of the landlord of the Pixley House in New Milford, formed the acquaintance of John Keeley, Danbury. truckman, at the skating rink and they be- came engaged to be married. The match was not at all to the liking of the young lady's parents and so John and Amelia arranged to slip away to Poughksepsie and get married. The girls relatives got wind of their plan, however, and put detective on their track Miss Amelia had preceded her lover by an earlier train, and when the detective over hauled Keeler at Poughkeepsie, the latter agreed to come back with him. He did so, leaving Miss Amelia at Poughkeepsie. On Friday Keeler returned there with the avowed intention of making her his wife, and by this time they are doubtless married. Mean while the girls mother is in woful state of mind over the fact that her daughter, who is worth $20, ,000, should marry truckman.

About the Size oft.

Here is what the Cincinnati Graphic Ne,os
of the 11th inst, strong Republican paper,
says of its rapidly decaying party. They are
words of truth and soberness:
'The Republican party has not taken an
honest stand on the liquor question. We do
not recall a single utterance of the party that
was frank and outspoken. It has always
straddled. 1t has trimmed its sails to catch
the breeze from the saloons and yet not lose
the temperance vote. This double dealing
has met its reward in the estrangement of
the anti-liquor people and the building up of
party that must seriously hurt the Republi-
can organization. The assaults which Mr..
Blaine and other leaders are making upon
the Prohibitionists will only aggravate trou-
BILE. It may be too late for the Republican
party to do the decent thing by the anti-liquor
people, and do it gracefully; but it should be
done, nevertheless. The party has been
seriously crippled in many States where it
was thought to be impregnable. Mr.. Blaine
is largely responsible for the breach, and, if
he makes general invasion of the States be-
tween this time and the next Republican
National Convention-as seems probable-it
would surely not be wise to nominate him.
1t might not be wise to nominate Mr.. Blaine
in any event, but most assuredly it would
not be if he invites the antagonism of large
element. There seems to be on the way an
important reform in the drink traffic, and the
party can help it talong and at the
same time help itself if it takes advantage of
the opportunity"

~ The following paragraph is respectful
ly dedicated to the Bob Kennedyites of Ohio
and the Farmer colums are open for an ex-
PLANTATION from the Republican ''boodlers" OF
Ohio;
'The Republican papers distressingly
silent about the record of 81, ,1O6, ,00S, So which
was left, together with an unlawful transfer
of $5OO,OOO, in the State treasury, and the
necessary increase of 80 per cent. in farmers
taxes the coming year."
We want an explanation in order to show
the farmers Holmes county why the Repub-
DEMONSTRATING control of the State-have in
creased the Taxes 35 cent. When the farmers
come in this year to pay their taxes, they will
naturally blame the increase on the officers
of Holmes county. That is not right; it is
the Republican Secretary of State, James s.
Robinson, and the Republican Governor of
Ohio, J. B. Foraker, who asked and had insti-
tuted 30 per cent. increase of the tax
duplicate on the farms of Ohio. When the
farmers come to vote in November, they will
remember that it was the Republican party
that increased the taxes on farm land 80 per
cent.-HoImes Co. Farmer.

cN Boothman's 5 speeches are almost Who'll
ly made up of vile attacks upon the Demo-
cratic administration and the Democratic
Congress, and snivelling for the votes of
Democratic soldiers. The people, and
especially the Democrats, are we'll satisfied
with Mr.. Cleveland's administration, which
is one of the purest since the days of Wash
ington, and Mr.. Boothman is very careful
while he is begging for Democratic soldiers
votes not to tell his hearers that the last
session of Congress passed bill, which Mr..
Hill voted for, to increase the pensions of
dependent widows and of ex-soldiers who
lost an arm or leg in the rebellion. And he
does not tell them that President Cleveland
approved the bill and that it is now a law
Instead he deals out law billingsgate con-
corning Democrats and their actions, and
then has the cheek to ask Democrats to vote
for him. No Democrat can conscientiously
vote to send Republican to Congress from
the 9Th district.

The Necessity of Unity.

The country is harmonious, prosperous
and progressive under Democratic rule. The
wise, honest, and patriotic administration
of President Cleveland gives universal satis-
faction, except, perhaps, to few purblind
Republican partisans, who would oppose the
Apostle Paul, If he was not on the Republi-
can ticket. Business of every kind is reviv-
ing and general prosperity smiles on every
hand. The national debt is being paid as
rapidly as consistent with the welfare of pub
lie finances. Reforms have been successful
ly inaugurated in every department of the
government; and honesty, industry, and
economy are the order of the day. The long
dark night of Republican misrule, dishones-
ty, and corruption is fast passing, before the
glad sun of pure Democracy.
Now, that we have reached this happy state
of affairs, let there be no going backward, to
the Republican darkness and bondage from
which we have escaped. 1t is only by every
Democrat standing shoulder to shoulder with
every other Democrat, and keeping step to
Democratic principles, forgetting any more
personal feelings in the matter for the sake
of the general good, that we can hope to re-
tain those blessings for which we have fought
so long and suffered so much. There are
times, perhaps, in the history of all parties,
when perfect satisfaction will not be attained
in the choice of all candidates. But let us re-
member that we have nothing to gain and
everything to lose by any division or disaffec-
tion in our ranks. The same Republican
leaders who called us butternuts and copper
heads during the war, and sought to spit in
our faces on all occasions, are now standing
around, hoping to SOW the seeds of discord in
our ranks, knowing that is the only possible
way by which they can ever hope to "down
us' again and grind their heels in our faces.
Shall we help them to do it? Would we enjoy
such a result? That is the only result possi-
BILE in such course.
To these questions every Democrat can re-
spond with hearty "No!" Then, fellow
Democrats, let US stand shoulder to shoulder,
giving not an inch to our foe. The attack of |
the whole gang is centered upon your candi-
date for Congress, Mr.. Hill, and nothing is
too vile or low to be used against him by the
Republican leaders. This being the state of
the battle it behooves Democrats to concen-
rate their forces upon the Congressional
front, and every Democrat is expected and
We know will do his duty.

-" That President Cleveland is gaining
favor with the people daily cannot be gain
said. His upright and manly course com"
mands respect, ana he stands to-day the
most prominent political figure before the
American people. Business men, laborers,
farmers and all take kindly to him. The fol-
lowing is what Mr.. Reall, Republican, pres
ident of the late agricultural convention at
Philadelphia, said of Mr.. Cleveland:
'No better, purer- minded, or wiser man
has ever filled this highest of all Offices, and
none ever had truer conception of its re-
sponsibilities. Every pulsation of Grover
Cleveland's heart beats for the people of the
United States. No unprejudiced man who
considers his acts or comes in personal con-
tact with him can have any other opinion. I
say this as one who ardently opposed his
nomination and election, and speak of him
entirely from the stand point of a farmer,
without any political affiliations except those
pertaining to agriculture"
