STAND BY THE STRAIGHT RE-
PUBLICAN TICKET.

Election day rapidly approaches, and
We desire to make one more appeal to
Republicans to vote the straight ticket
without scratch. There is not a man
on it that is not as well, if not better,
qualified to hold the position he aspiree
to as his Democratic opponent. This is
a great battle of principles, and the eff.
feet of the election in the country and
in this state will have a tremendous eff
fectupon the future welfare ofthis nation
If the country, and especially MIN,
nesota, where the seed is claimed to be
vigorously fourishing, gives grand Re
publican victory it will put an end to the
free trade tendencies of the decade. The
voice of Minnesota loudly speaking il
favor of protection will have much effec
upon the Democratic policy, should tina
party by any chance be given a longer
lease of power.
Republicans can vote their straight
ticket with a feeling of pride-it is first
class throughout. Beginning with Har
rison and Morton, those two grand and
good men, followed by Mr.. Merriam ana
his honest and honorable associates or
the state ticket, Hon. John Lind, the
congressional candidate, down through
the entire comfy ticket to the least i'm
pnrtant office, the Republicans have {
ticket which every member of the party
can vote with the proud consciousness,
of doing direct act for the better gov
eminent of the country, the state anC
the county.
VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET.
Listen not to the Democratic candi
date who asks you for friendships SAKE
to put his name on your ticket Remem
Der, you owe it to your party to be loyal
especially in this election when so mucl
is at stake.
With this last word We close, with thu
assurance that the prospects for a thor
ough Republican victory are bright, anC
if every member of the party does hi
duty, next Tuesday will see them re
warded by one of the most triumphan
victories the party has ever had. Onl!
Remember TO uote The straight Republican
ticket

VOTE A STRAIGHT COUNTY
TICKET,

The Republican county ticket is
worthy the loyal support of every mem
Der of the party, and should be elected
entire. The Representative ticket and
the candidates for county offices are all
men that can be supported with a firm
conviction that they will faithfully dis
charge the duties of the various offices.
For Auditor, certainly no citizen of the
county needs to be told that Mr.. I. Scat
tergood, the present incumbent, is
thoroughly entitled to reelection on
the ground of faithful and good services
for number of years, and that it would
be the height of folly to put new and
inexperienced man in the place OF the
present efficient county auditor.
The same can be said with increased
emphasis of Col. Geo. w. Mead, candi-
date for Probate Judge. In addition to
several years of acknowledged good SER
vice, Col. Mead served his country gal
lantly in the late war, and is entitled on
that score too much consideration. His
opponent lisa young man who, whatever
may be the excellence of his personal
qualities, has no recommendation of fit
ness for so responsible position.
Mr.. Peter Lloyd, for Treasurer, is q
gentlemen well-known in all parts OF
the county, and has reputation for
clerical and business ability which pc
culiary fits him for this important posi-
ton.
OfMr. B. d. Smith, candidate fol
County Attorney, we speak elsewhere
He is the present incumbent and GER
tainly entitled to reelection.
For Register of Deeds, Mr.. Osca
Bierbauer has the recommendation of
terms faithful and acceptable service
That he will be reelected there is nj
room for doubt.
Mr.. Geddes has served for some tim,
as deputy sheriff, and has all the quail
fications to make a good officer. HI
should be elected, as also should MI
Z. w. Parker, the candidate for Count
Superintendent. Messrs. ]. B. Ogle 70
court commissioner, z. Paddock, 70
Coroner, and J. Lilly, for Surveyor, al
merit the loyal and hearty support G
every Republican.
The nominees for county commission
ers are gentlemen who may be depende,
upon if elected, to carefully conduct tn
affairs of the county, with proper re
gard to good business methods and tn
interests of the taxpayers. They ar
Andrew Anderegg, in the first district
Hugh II. Edwards in the third distric
and VIM. Mcqueen in the fifth. Sc
that these names are on your ticket.
With this presentation of facts, Re
publicans voters and others will see this
propriety and self-interest suggest ths
the election of the entire Republica
county ticket next Tuesday.

SHOULD the Mills bill become law, and
the articles there mentioned be put on
the free list, there will at once begin a
readjustment of things. The home
manufacturer competing with the foreign
product admitted free must make a
reduction of wages. The employees will
oppose it, but the end is inevitable-the
wages must come down, the mills stop
or the employer be bankrupted. Once
make iron ore free, and this contest will
Immediately begin in every ore works

ing men do you desire it?

THE bombastic letter of Secretary
Bayard asking for the removal of Lore
Sackville-West is indecent, unfair an6
an exhibition of pettifogging which
puts the Administration in a worse
light than ever. The fact of the mat
ter is, what Sackville- West said was
very near the truth, though of course
he overstepped the bounds of proprie-
ty in saying it. The treatment of the
matter by the Administration, howev-
er, shows that it was spurred to the
move made yesterday only by fear Of
what the political effect of the matter
would be. A prompt rebuke of the
Minister'S meddling would have meant
a proper maintenance of official digni-
ty; but to deny the existence of the
letter and then aver that it was OF
"no consequence" and daily with the
matter until an uproar through the
country made some action necessary,
makes the issuance of the buncome Or
der of yesterday a ridiculous and dis
creditable proceeding. The ". Y
Herald, a Democratic Mugwump
sheet, boils Mr.. Bayard down pretty
thoroughly, as follows:
The dignity and self-respect of the
country, and Mr.. Cleveland's own digni-
ty, required that if 80 unpleasant a thing
were 10 be done it should be done quiet.
ly, decently, without buster. This
country is too great to buster. 1t is
strong enough, powerful enough, to be
patient, slow to take offense, dignitied,
and quiet in its methods of showing Of
tense; careful to give none needlessly.
Give Mr.. Bayard his passports to Della
ware, Mr.. Cleveland. You can't afford
to have such an incompetent and hys-
tericky person as your advisor. If you
retain him he will, before you know it,
make YOU ridiculous in the face of the
whole world. Or. if you must keep him,
don't take his advice on any subject ex-
cept terrapin.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Why He Didn't Join the Democrat
In prnraSSinn

Why He Didn't Join the Democrat
ic Procession.
Mr.. Editor:
My great desire 10 join the torch light
process on on Saturday evening last
served to refresh my memory and carry
me back to the grand old Democratic
times, say AS to go, when laboring men
were getting from SIS to $l2 per month in
good State bank promises to pay, and
which were literally discounted from 10
to % per cent. at the stores for goods
for family use that ranged higher in
prices than they do at the present time.
Is there not a community or individ-
| uals that can tell us how much q u. 5.
Senator's suit cost in '5S or so, and how
much the expense from here to Wash
ington, that we may calculate the differ
ence between free trade and protection?
Can You, Mr.. Editor, direct me to
some one who once stood as tower OF
strength in halls of congress and did val.
liant service for the Union, that through
the influence of strong drink has fallen
from the high position to which Repub,
lican principles elevated him and is now
found crouching like whipped spaniel
at the feet of the only party that ever
organized an entire army for the de-
struction of this government?
Sir, as the experience of the last Al
years refreshed by history passed before
me like panorama, failed TO discover
but one thing that the Democratic party
could feel proud of, and that was the sur
render at AppomattoX, that compelled
them to honor the flag they had SO ener
getically endeavored to destroy-tha
emblem of free speech and equal rights
which by wise and proper protection
commands the respect OF and takes ranl
among the first nations of the earth
Such thoughts, Mr.. Editor, prevented
me from stepping into that procession
and thus identifying myself with that or
ganization that but % years ago was il
open rebellion against the free institu
tions of this country; and the more
study the history of the last half centur,
the more thoroughly is my Republican
ism dyed in the wool, and the NOR,
, firmly believe that wool should be pro
tected.
All hail to the Republican rally an,
; the star spangled banner, the flag of on
choice and not of dictatiOn.

VOTE FOR q. D. SMITH.

No Republican who has a proper idea
of fairness will refuse TO recognize the
Just claims of Mr. b. ID. Smith to "a reel
ection as County Attorney. He has
proven a faithful public servant, attend
ing to all the details of his office with
careful and intelligent action. and il
would be piece Of ungratefulness on
the part of the Republican party not to
reward Mr.. Smith by giving him anoth
er term. Prove your loyalty TO YOU
party, your appreciation of faithful pub
lie service, and your interest in the goot
government of the county by voting FOL
Mr.. b. d. Smith for county attorney.

GROVER CLEVELAND and Tom Bayard
have made the English people angry by
their open electioneering methods to Sc
cure the Irish vote. The net result will
be that the Democracy will lose the
election and become the laughing stock
of the country. The sacrifice ofthe dig
NIFTY of the nation and the endangering
of the friendly relations with England
by these bunglers will soon be remedied
when the Republican party takes con-
troll of the reins of government.

Over-Torrents ON Wha11eg Avenue
A portion of the town was visited yester-
day by sever thunder shower, while the re-
naming portion escaped with only slight
wetting. In Westville and ont Whalley ave.
nue. in the vicinity of the Jail the water fell
in torrents, and the thunder rolled for some
time necessarily. One of the bolts took the
Flagstaff on the jail'as target and complete
ly shattered it, the splinters flying in all
directions. To the east Of the building
slivers from the big staff covered the ground,
some of them going across County street.
The huge wooden ball which surmounted the
staff was bisected cleanly. The bolt ran
down the conductor on the tower, cracked q
cap stone and tore up small portion of the
roof on the main building. For time there
was commotion within the institution and
the female department in particular seemed
to feel the effects of the lightning A female
prisoner named Duffy was sweeping at the
time in the county kitchen and claims that
the broom was knocked from her hands and
herself thrown to the floor. The officers who
responded to her screams found her on the
| floor kicking. Terror seemed the principal
thing from which she was suffering. Several
others felt the shock, but no further damage
was done. Lightning also struck and shat
| tered large tree on Whitney avenue.
