Capt. Ansley and the Il. l. p. favor service pension for all soldiers who fought in the late war, on the Union side. This would incur an expense of $500. .000, ,Oo0 a year, and nearly bankrupt the government. This same Il. l. D. and Capt. A. favor the government buying and running all railroads and telegraph lines. which would cost the immense sum of SS,- GOO .0OO. .000 or more, which enormous debt could never be paid, and would completely ruin the country. If you want all this evil vote for Capt. Ans ley. if not vote for Tom McRae, who favors paying, only wounded soldiers pensions. and the country getting out of debt as soon as possible.

We are putting on the same sys- tenn that England and Canada have been using, the European plan. Mark my words: You cannot escape the inevitable effect which you see on London and Ottawa. Poor. dis pirited, starved parents have no re- dress, no law. no money to lndlct. and must submit. Such events are the outgrowth of the HaZ- gard plan of slavery. Extreme wealth gives birth to animal passion of q most degraded character, ' and gives power to force poverty to yield up her virtue. Prescott Dispatch, Aug. 10th, 1887.
 The editor of Dispatch, Capt. J. A. Ansley, who is running against r. C. McRae for Congress from this district. used the above language, (copied yerbatim) in commenting on the alleged trading in the young girls in Canada, which allegation proved false. Every voter in the district should read this great islander upon our wives. daughters and sisters. .- Will any sane voter agree with him that we vii! have to do what he says. under any circumstances We think not. Every paper in the district should ventilate this fraud.

Mr. McRae received the nomina ton and we place his name al the head of our columns to-day as such nominee. It is well known that this paper preferred Mir. Barker, but since McRae is the choice of the de mocracv. we shall advocate his cleo tion. MI. Ansley, the Il. l. D.. .candi- date, is protectionist. and in full accord with the republicans on the tariff issue. so it will pay the democ- racv to bestir itself and see that Me Rae is elected, for on this issue (and which is the main one) he is with the people ,- MonticeIloncan.

The Independent has never advo- cated any measure that it did not believe to be for the interest of the people. Hence it urges the voters to vote against Ansley in November. He has bat one idea and that, like Clayton and Carl Lee. is hatred to the democratic party.-TeNarhana Iudepcndent.

 Mir. McRae ied off. occupying one hour. during which he arraigned the Republicans in scathing but cour- tcous terms. He reviewed the tariff question. and clearly showed that the farmer. the mechanic. the laborer. and all would be benefited by the re- duction of the high tariff. which. he said. was making the rich richer and the poor poorer. and thus reducing the price of labor and farm products and raising the cost of the necessa- ries of life He was frequently and loudly applauded.-[ Special to the Richmond Dispatch.

Mr. McRae came to the front amid an outburst, perfect storm of ap- plause. Splendid in his personal ap- pearance. statesman-like in his re- marks: his periodewell rounded his voice silvery and his gestures grace ful. we wondered not at the cordial warmth with he was greeted.
 Whilst we would not willingly take from Judge Perkins one single laurel to which he may he entitled, from a Republican standpoint, yet the con trast made to his speech by that Of MT McRae was so great-so far dis tanced. that for those who heard both speeches and are disposed to pass up on them from the position of the sol i'd good of the country, We need not make single comment.
 For those not present. we say, that NIT McRae took the grounds ad- vanced by his adversary in every branch of his arguments. tore them into shreds, and with an effort oi ease and grace, sent them in atoms to the four winds of heaven. He made not single assertion that he did not support by official figures His data was from the highest rec ords. and he poured hot shot and shell from first to last into the camp of the distinguished son of Kansas that scattered him and his hearers as flock of geese are when their leader has lost its reckoning - Throughout his speech, the atmos- phere, some times, seemedlrent with deafening applause, and the speaker retired, winning trophies for his par ty, golden in their every aspect
