The republicans may well congratu-
late themselves upon the prospects for
a grand victory in the national cleo
ton next November. Everything
seems to be tending to that end. There
is perfect harmony in the ranks, and
the indications now are that there will
be no bitter fight over the nomination.
Mr.. Blaine's friends will not insist
on his nomination, but will be ready
to give their enthusiastic support to
any man whom the convention at Chi
cagO may name. There are many
strong men whose nomination would
receive the unanimous endorsement of
the party. The democratic party is
divided. Mr.. Hills friends are very
anxious for that gentleman's nomina-
and it will be very difficult matter to
reconcile them to Mr.. Cleveland's can
dizzy. Mr.. Hill is very ambitious, is
working his cards for all they are
worth, and seems to be gaining strength
every day in New York. He is consi-
dered by his democratic bretheren as
more nearly reaching the standard of
an ideal democrat than Mr.. Cleveland;
and if it were not for the fact that the
latter is the present occupant of the
White House, Mr.. Hills friends would
quite easily instruct delegates to the
democratic convention. As it is they
will make it uncomfortably warm for
the President and his friends. Mr..
Cleveland's administration has been
very unsatisfactory to the democrats.
He has antagonized his friends on
every hand. His free trade documents
have been anything but a success in
Strengthening his party. Poor Mr..
Cleveland. He should have stuck to
his second term doctrine promulgated
in his letter of acceptance, and it
would have saved him from the very
unpleasant dilemma in which he is
now pulling the ropes for a second

elevation of the land above the sea
level, he will tell us of the vegetable
products, from which we judge of the
diet Of the nhabitants-indeed so far
has science gone in this direction, that
we may determin the diet from the
climate: And knowing the situation

The democratic program, which is
announced to govern the party in rela-
ton to the admission of Dakota as a
state, reveals the characteristic disre-
gard of that party for the rights of
American citizenship, as well as the
depths of infamy to which that party
will sink itself in order to obtain and
perpetuate political power. For four
years Dakota has been knocking at the
door of Congress for admission. She
now has population of over 100000,
and what is known as South Dakota
contains over twO-thirds of that pepu-
latiOn it casts vote greater than
one-third of the present states of the
Union. Yet because the people who
have settled that territory are intelli-
gent, and naturally belong 10 the re-
publican party, the democratic Con-
greSs proposes to deprive them of all
the rights of citizens of a state, hoping
thereby to perpetuate their short lease
of power which they see gradually, but
surely, slipping from their grasp. The
mean, contemplate manner in which
the democrats have treated Dakota will
make lively issue for that party to
meet during the coming campaign.

Valedictory.

Today the REFLECTOR passes from
the Democratic fold and goes over
among the Republican goats. We part
with the REFLECTOR with feelings OF
relief and regret-relieved from many
cares and anxieties, regretful because
it will reflect Republican and not Dem
ocratic doctrine relieved from the
arduous duty of welding paste pot and
scissors and from nervous prostration
from the yells for copy" regretful OF
parting with many pleasant associa-
lions, railroad passes, circus and theatre
comps. We have endeavored to give
our patrons all the news of the day and
were always thankful for value received
therefor. Dickinson county and Abb
lene has stood by the REFLECTOR
Loyalty and literally, and the REELEC-
TOR has always endeavOred to promote
their welfare and interests, and the
welfare and interests of the Democratic
party. The support we have received
has been kind and substantial, we have
no fault to find, but extend our heart
felt thanks for your generous treat
ment. The gentlemen who have pur-
chased the REFLECTOR are old resi-
dents of the county, their interests are
identical with yours, and, barring their
politics, we are satisfied they will make
the REFLECTOR equal, if not superior,
to what it has been in the past. We
lay down our editorial work, and all
political ambitions, but stand by the
old Democratic party-the party of our
fathers-with the same zeal and zest as
iii the past. With another hearty and
grateful ''thank you, one and all, for
the kindness and forbearance of the
past" we bid cur readers. regardless of
party, creed or color, and the REFLEC-
TOR, journalistic farewell, and wish
you all long life and prosperity.

Ingalls, has to say about prohibition in
Kansas and he said it over his own sig
nature too:
''Many Incorporate men have been
redeemed; the weak have been fortified:
the young have been saved from temp
tation; the families of the poor, better
clothed, fed and educated; and the So
cial condition has been pe-ceptibly ele-
waited. The grocery merchants and
other dealers say that their bills are
more promptly paid, and the records
of the courts show marked decrease
in debt and crime. The predictions of
its opponents have not been verified.

HENRY LIFTS.

The universal demand of the repub,
licanS of this section of the state, for q
republican newspaper at Abilene, has
induced the present management tC
purchase the Abilene DAILY and
WEEKLY REFLECTOR, and undertake
the anomalous task Of converting a
Simon-pure democratic paper into a
live, progressive republican journal.
While we realize the enOrmity of such
an undertaking. we believe the times
suspicious, and the opportunity fol
such conversion never better.
The republicans of the county have
been without an organ at the county
seat for several months.
Two democratic dailieS have been
scattering their false doctrines among
the homes of good, honest republicans
without anyone at hand to puncture
them and reveal their falsity and per-
niciousness. Republicans have grown
restless and tired under the unfair and
base inSinuations and ISLANDERS of re-
publican men and measures without
an opportunity to deny or refute.
With a majority OF from twelve to
fifteen hundred republicans, the county
has been lily represented at home and
abroad by democratic newspapers.
To fill this ''long felt want and to
give republicans paper through which
to promulgate the true principles of le-
publican government, the REFLECTOR
has been purchased, and this evening
appears as a representative of the doc
tfines and principles of the republican
party.
Believing as we do. that the unpar-
alleled prosperity of the government
for the past quarter of century is the
direct result of the adoption of the
doctrines Of the republican party by the
people, it sLall be the purpose of this
paper, so far as it shall be political in
its nature, to uphold aud maintain the
principles of that party.
While we are republican from princi-
pie we shall not hesitate to endorse a
measure originated or advocated by our
political opponents should we deem
such a measure conducive to the well
fare of all the people.
This paper shall in all particulars be
devoted to the wants and interests OF
the people of this section of the state,
of Dickinson county. and we
shall ever be found advocating every
measure which has for its object tbs

The greed of the Southern Bourbons
in the Fiftieth Congress passes the
bounds of discretion. The thing their
longing eyes are now set on is the re-
funding of the cotton tax collect
ed by the government from the
Southern States at the begin
ing of the war The best estimates
place this at SIS, O00,O 900. When the
direct-tax bill was up in the senate Mr.
Vance moved an amendment to it
which provided for paying back to the
states the cotton tax. Several south
ern senators urged him not to press
this as it would endanger The direct
tax bill. They explained that they
were for the cotton measure, but were
not sure it could be adopted just vet,
and therefore die not want to endan-
ger the other bill. Vance, however,
insisted on vote, and a number of the
southeners stood by him.. The same
question came up when the drect-tax
was in the house judiciary committee.
The southern members almost without
exception wanted to tack on a cotton
amendment. They were
only persuaded TO give it up on grounds
of expediency. Some of them. how
ever, thought the present was as good
a time as any to slice the cotton melon

at Bowersock's -four mill was aroused by a

the river had risen to a great height and
the Ice and water was running at fearful
rate. 1t had carried away the stone wall
and all the motive power including the
machinery, water wheel, ETC., portion of
which were carried out into the river
several hundred yards. Bowersock's loss
will be from S. 900 10 $4,000 At the paper

hshments which depend on Bowersock for
power to run their machinery will be
obliged to run idle for a time, as it will be
impossible to repair the damage until the
river is low. There is also some fear for
the safety of the -four mill, as the water is
still ris ng and running with great rapidly
and may undermine the supports, which
are too light for such q structure
