fully to elect such person to the
United States senate" Why didn't
you put it half Of the Cleveland or
Taylor vote?S 1t is a well-kno@n fact
that when a resolution was offered in
the fioterial convention, to pledge all
the delegates to vote for the nominees
of all the conventions, you refrained
from voting, thus refusing to pledge
yourselves. How easy it is to scratch
the representatives and vote for Har-
ris, and then endeavor to instruct
candidates you did not vote for. But
do you expect candidates nominated
by regular Democratic convention,
bearing the banner of the party, re-
ceiving their only credentials from
the party whose duty it is faithfully
to fight for the party and its organiza-
tion, to disregard the organization of
the party, and obey the instructions
of set of men who publicly pro-
claim that they have deposed the reg
ular executive committee, and hold q
unauthorized election all
by them themselves. We must say
you expect great deal.

BALANCE AGAINST PROTECTION

Let each man foot up in figurses
how much he pays for protection in
increased prices for lumber, clothing,
ETC., and compare it with what he
receives from protection. One man
figured this out the other day. He
found that he paid out $102 year
for protection and received nothing
from it in return. If you like bur-
dens like Balaam's ass, well, then
bow down, bear them; but if you
think taxation ought not to be more
than is necessary, throw down your
burden. Be slaves no longer.
A man in Indiana was asked "Do
you support Harrison ?'
He said mo"
"Do you support Cleveland?"
"NO; l support Betsey and the
children"
In conclusion Mr.. Palmer said /:

The Philadelphia Record says Sin
their desperation the enemies Of tar
if reform falsely cry that the Mills
Bill was framed in the special inter
est OF the South. Well, as the pro-
position to remove the wool duties is
the most important provisions of the
contemplated law, it may be asked
What is the sectional aspect of that
provision? The Southern States, the
Representatives of which almost
unanimously voted for free wool, raise
nearly twice as many sheep as the
Middle States and New England put
together. Texas, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, raise more sheep than the
Middle and New England States
combined. The farmers of those
three States are willing to surrender
the real or imaginary benefits of the
duty on wool for the sake of a reform
OF the tariff. Yet they are meanly
tainted by organs and representatives
of the manufacturing interests with
favoring the Mills Bill because of it's
sectional advantages. The sectional
al of the Mills Bill was the burden
of one of Mr.. Blaine's Indiana
speeches. Could anything be more
meanly false ?'

THE Charleston Courier, says: "the
Philadelphia Press has main.
tanned for three months a standing
offer of double pay for all communi'
cations giving the names Of voters
who have changed from the Demo
cratic to the Republican party in
Pennsylvania in this campaign. The
reports received state that thirty-two
converts have been made, thus far,
from the ranks of the 100000 Dem
ocratic voters in the Keystone State.
In the meantime the Philadelphia
Record has printed the names OF
thousands of Republican voters who
live in sight of the Press building,
and who have come over to the
Democratic side. The best eXplana-
ton of this movement, we are con-
strained to say, is to be found in the
columns of the Press itself. 1t is as
valuable an ally of the Democracy
as the New York Tribune or Mr..
Blaine himself"

batch of testimony. The complaint
upon which the prisoner was first
held was dropped, however, and one
in which he is charged with forging

evidence was taken the hearing was
again adjourned for week.
Rudolph Aronson has secured the
American rights to four new operas
which will shortly be offered for New
York's delectation. Among the list
are "Nadgy," by Cassaigne, which
will succeed "The Old Guard" at the
Avenue Theatre, Paris, Fr., after
which it will be seen at the Casino.
The scene is laid in Hungary, and the
composition calls fos an especial y fine
chorus Lecocq's "La Valliere, which
will soon receive its premier at the
Paris Nouveautes, and Gilbert and
Snllivan's new opera, which cannot
be put on before June, and even then
no libretto Of the dialogue will be
printed until after the performance at
the Casino. The plot, subject and
methods will be profound secret be-
tween the author and composer until
rehearsal. Tito Mattel has just finish
ed a new opera, which has not yet
been named, upon Spanish subject.
Manager Aronson has this under con-
sideration.
Monroe and Rice have purchased
from Allan Gray all the rights to his
satirical drama in three acts, The
Transit of Mercury. The satire deals
with our present telegraph system,
spurious private detective agencies,
and the bogus employment bureaus.
1t will require at least twenty people
to depict the characters, most of whom
will be called upon to double. Messrs.
Monroe and Rice will each play three
dialect parts. The wide variety of
specially bits will call for some excel
lent people, while the scenic effects
will have to be carried. A double
sextet of madrigal boys will play the
the messenger roles, and will be made
the musical feature. The music is
now being written by two well-known
composers. One marked feature of
the performance will be the total ab-
sence OF all interlopations bordering
upon the slap-stick conventionalitias
The dialogue, we are informed, is
written in repartee spirit through
out, while the situations are novel
and natural.
