Democratic Rally.

Thursday was the day that had
been fixed for the Democratic
rally. Rain threatened in the
morning, but by 9 o'clock the sun
was shining brightly. Few people
were on the streets but the hurry
ing to and fro, and the whispered
consultations of political leaders
led the casual observer to con-
clude that something was about to
transpire. Inquiry revealed the
fact that Hon. j. i. Williams of
Macon and Mayor Francis of St.
Louis, were in town and that effort
was being made to get up a suit
able demonstration. Anxious eyes
were strained to catch glimpse of
O crowd that came not and the dav
resembIed one of ordinary busi-
ness.
Soon it was rumored that there
was to be a procession, and after
long waiting it approached from
the northwest corner of the
square. The procession was short
taking about fifteen minutes tc
pass given point, and was really
but but little larger than the
Clay township delegation of last
Saturday. However it was vel.

ance. 1t was evident to all that
the very best use had been made
of the available material.
The crowd was very orderly ant
decorous and the demonstration
would have been a perfect success
in all its parts had it not been TO,
an incompetent leader. In going
around the square the second time
he made a niscalculation, which
caused the procession to cross its
self and block the parade. He at
tempted to relieve the difficulty b,
doubling the columns, but at tn
southwest corner the same fata
error confronted him, causing
second blockade, and the process

'4S4A - IN tJ1LGll VI '-tV.oOD.
Major Brock, our candidate
for congress is making thorough
canvass of the entire district.
Every where he has been received
with the greatest favor, and 30
strong and thoroughly convincing
have been his speeches before the
people that there seems practical
ly no opposition to his election.
Last week Mr.. Hatch, in
tle House made a very weak
defense Of his statement here that
the Oliver Chilled steel plow
could be obtained cheaper in
Canada than in the United States.
The price list of the company
shows that the retail price of the
plows referred to is 50 less in the
United States and 81 less in Cana
da than the price quoted by Mr..
Hatch. Statements of this kind
so easily shown to be false, are
proving Obstructive to the Demo.
cratic party.
Mr. Hatch made his first
speech, since his return from
Washington, at Macon, last Mon
day, by actual count only hun
dred and thirty. FIVE were present
to hear him, and that in a Demo-
cratic stronghold. The fact is the
Democrats as well as the Republi.
cans have become thoroughly dis
gusted with Mr.. Hatch, who has
sacrificed tie peoples interests to
his own selfish purposes, and will
vote for Major Brock, who is
pledged, not only by his speeches
but by the services of lifetime to
carefully guard our every interest
The Democrats have charg-
ed that the Republicans favor free
whisky and denied that the Mills
bill propose to Iemove all federal
burdens from the retail liouo,
trade and MAKE the saloon business
free as far as the general govern.
ment is concerned. They are re-
ferred to the fortieth section
of the Mills bill, which reads
as follows:
"That all claases of section
3,24i of the revised statutes, and
all laws amendatory thereof, and
Nil other laws which impose any
special taxes upon manufacturers
of stills, retail dealers in liquors
and retailers in malt liquors are
hereby repealed"
1t has been argued by the
Democrats that there is more prof.
it in manufacturing in the United
States than there is in England
But where is the proof? If it is
true that the profits in manufac-
turing are greater in this country
why has not England invested J
par. of her great surplus capital in
manufactures in this country
When the western cattle trade
was paying immense profits
Englishmen invested many thou
sands of dollars in western ranches
and cattle, and ii is safe to con-
clude that Ii there were large
profits In manufacturing under a
protective tariff, English capital
lists would be investing their capi
tai in the business.
