the Democrat means by "rtiral ROSTERS" the
country press, II is not posted At this
early day some thirty country papers have
declared themselves opposed to the third
term for Senator Cockrell, and others will
follow at the proper time. The bald-headed
assertion that the country papers and the
masses OF the people are solid for Senator
Cocllrell is not the kind Of ammunition that
Will win the battle. You will have to stand
up and take some hard knocks, and you
must be prepared to defend yourself. You
Will have to stand by the record your favor
tie has made and be able to show what the
"laborious, painstaliing" senator has done
Tor the benefit OF his country, his state, or
his party.-[Uncle Sam, Eldorado Springs,

Senator Palmer is q bright, clever man,
but he needs to be careful that his head Is
not turned by praise from Democrats who
want him to vote for the confirmation OF all
the Presidents appointments, good or bad.
These fellows never discovered his superior
virtues and qualifications until after the
election last November. Senator Congcr is
about In the same situation. II must SUR
prise him to hear praises Of himself now
from men who, In all his past political life,
have been able to think of nothing TOO
mean or bad, In their Judgment, to shy of
him.--[East Saginaw, Mich, Herald
Mr.. Tilden is rapidly growing moro and
more strong each day. Every pleasant
day he goes out on the roof spyglass in
hand, ana scans the horizon for hostile iron
clads.
Dakota's grip on the public attention
indicates that che means to hang on TO the
outside OF the Union until she is taken I'm.
And that is what makes the partisans who
do not want her In squirm over her attitude
so much.-lSpencer, Ind, Republican,
The members of the Grand Army of the
Republic at Parsons, Kan, have adopted
series Of resolutions In favor Of pensioning
| all bonorably discharged soldiers and sailors
and marines who were In the Union service
| during the late rebellion.
Now is as good time as any to place the
Democratic party on trial as to their stand
ing on this question. From Dan Voorhees,
down to the candidate for the lowest
county Office, Democrats have for years
been shouting themselves hoarse to demon
strate their love for the Union SOLDIER

Senator Voorhees, is to deliver lectures on
Jefferson" for the benefit OF the Hendricks
monument, and will most likely visit
Princeton during the summer.-[Gibson
County Leader, Princeton, Ind.1
Leading Ohio Democrats have arrayed
themselves against Senator Payne, and s.
X. Donavin has written him an open letter
making serious charges. He asserts that
many OF the nominees for important offices
made at the suggestion and dictatlon of
Senator Payne were "conspicuously bad
men, and the Democrats Of the state will
ask the Senate to refuse O confirmation.
Ohio Democrats likewise say they have laid
the facts before President Cleveland, and
he has refused to investigate. II Mr.. DON
| avin represents the best Democratic opinion
| Of Ohio, he may expect some new sensations
| from that quarter.--[ Wayne County Cour-

"Come tickle me, Billy, tlckled your
| This is what Hon. Frank Hurd says to Hon.
William Mckinley, and Billy proposes to
| tickle. Hurd wants the seat of Romeis
| from the Toledo district, and Mckinley, 1t
| is said, will vote to give 1t to him, putting
| free trade Democrat in the place OF a pro-
| tective Republican. Hurd voted to Keep
| Mckinley In his seat and to shut Wallace
| out. These elastic qualities make "giants"
| OF such high moral and Christian statesmen.

Hon. George A. jerks, of jefferson
| county, is mentioned as prominent Dem
| ocratic candidate for governor, but as the
Democracy are not going to elect gov
ernor in this state this year, Mr.. jerks
| will do well to hold his position as second
assistant secretary of the interior.-[The

Oh, yes; there are many. hungry vultures
who are snarling bitterly because Gov. AL
ger declines calling an extra session of the
state legislature. They do not care for eX-
pensc so they can gobble SO a day from the
state. A very sensible deci sion on the part
OF the governor.-[I iarbor Springs, Mich,
Republican,
Banker Judd returned Tuesday from q
three weeks tour In eastern Iowa, New
York, and Washington. While at the ua-
tional capital he met Delegate Clifford,
| Flopper Boynton, Orday, and several other
Dakota people, and reports them all in
| good health. Mr.. Judd was present when
Vest made his diabollcal TRADE on Dakota,
and says that nothing will make a loyal
Dakotan hotter thanto hear such sneaking
specimen of manhood disgrace humanity
and the United States Senate by such
a series Of calumny. Delegate Clifford
feels confident that before the springtime
| OF 1856 combination of circumstances will
have revolutionized the hostility Of the
anti-Dakota cranks, and that division ana
admission will be voted for by these very
same liars, caluminators, and cowards.-
| 1.-THE Canton, OAK, Advocated
During the past four years Mr.. Brady
says the Republican party has made great
progress in Virginia, particularly among
the whites and those of high family con-
| nections. The bitterest warfare that has
been waged upon the party has been that of
ostracism, and the most valuable acquisi-
tions II can make are among the people Of
standing of the state, The party has been
Kept In contempt before the people by hold
ing up to their gaze the convenient picture
OF the carpet-bagger, and associating with
1t all that is low and mean. Now the Re-
| publican party has grown In four years from
$4,000 to 10000, and has In its ranks some
of the strongest and oldest families in the
state, who have always heretofore been Dem
ocrats.-[The Cambridge, ILL.,, Chronlcle.l
"Rubbish'' is what Secretary Bayard calls
Senator Beck's great speech on silver. This
comes with good grace from the distin-
| guished statesman who fought against
taking the tax off matches. Ills blue blood
fayors monopolies.
The intense love Of the laboring people
which crops out In the bondholders' news
papers, in deploring tho probability of the
continued existence OF a silver dollar, is
very refreshing. Senator Edmunds is the
author of resolution lased on love of the
laboring man, which proposes that all the
bonds must be paid IN gold coin, aud that
any other payment would be In violation OF
public faith, and in d5rogation of the rights
Of the bondholders. 1t is about time Con-
gresf devoted little of its time legislatlng
in tie interest of people who hold no bonds.
