ANOTHER independent paper speaks
out. The New York Herald has this
to say of the Maine election: "The
lesson from Maine, therefore, is that
Mr.. Cleveland's success lies within en-
ergetic and intrepid management.
The Democratic campaign could not be
in better form. The Republicans have
made their bravest charge under their
most andacions leader, The best they
can say is that they have recovered a
few temperance votes-have, III a
word, won what they never really
lost. The Democratic line remains
intact, unbroken, and with victory to
be won by courage, patience and
steady work until the polls close"

The twelve states south of the Ohio

eight years accumulated wealth equal

put at democrats in such significant
styles now revived and thrust at
certain disguised republicans with no
little wickedness as they recall Mr..

is an injunction as old as Shakespeare s
"Hamlet" to actors and other per

The Ruston Caligrapk, IN speaking
Of the Bagging Trust, says: "There
is no reason why the cotton raisers
should not all bid alden to iute bag
giRg and beBeeEortb wrap up their
cotton in cotton cloth. Let the bag
ging trust hold on TO their jute bag
ging forever or bnst with it on their
hands. The trust is now completely
in the power of the cotton producers,
and it is to be seen whether or not the
opportunity to crush it will be used.
1t can only be done in one way, and
that way is to let the trust keep Its
baggiRg. The crushing of the bag,
ging trust means the beginning of the
downfall Of all similar combinations
The indignation of the people was
never so fnlly aroused against all sucl
