pected this year throughout the West ard

little less favorable for this and other

Yes there were votes cast in the city of

for Cleveland, and that is the way he was
declared elected. And yet some Demo
cratic papers have the cheek to say that

Harrison's Cabinet.

Already are Republican papers fixing uI
a Cabinet for President Harrison. 1t is {
little early, but all the indications point
to the ultimate necessity for such a formu
lation as the st. Louis Globe Democrat
gives, as follows:
Secretary of State-James G. Blaine. OF
Maine;
Secretary of the Treasury-Warner Mil
Ter. Of New York;
Secretary of War-Russell A. Alger, OF
Michigan;
Secretary of the Navy-Maurice NJ. Els.
tee. of California.
Secretary of the Interior-Charles B.
Farwell. of Illinois;
Postmaster General-Wm. McKinly, OF
Ohio;
Attorney General-John B. Henderson.
of Missouri.
All must admit that this is an able, pure
and strong array of names for Cabinet
Council. Where to make an inroad upon
it would be difficult to decide, but policy
would suggest that Southern representa-
tive should be.included in the number
President Harrison, however, Will have
time to consider and decide uron this be-
tween this time and the 4th of March
next. If all signs do not fail, the next
President will be a Republican, and the
nomination of the names above for Cab
met, shows how rich the party is in first.

Randall land says that neither the Vim
Dictator nor Randall will be found advO-
eating free trade.'' That won't do. Ran
dali opposes and will vote against the
Mills bill, which is the first step to free
trade. The Tnadicator is committed to
that measure in its support of the St.
Louis platform. Randall opposes the free
trade message of the President The Vin-
djcator supports it in favoring the st.
Louis platform. Randall favors the re
duction of taxes, by wiping out the in
ternal revenue system, or so much of it
as the condition of the treasury will al
low. The Vindicdtor, in supporting the
tariff plank of the ST. Louis platform, as
interpreted by Cleveland in his message
last December, must necessarily oppose
that mode OF reducing revenue. The differ
ence between the V51dicatOr, in its new
relation and Randall, is that the latt er
would reduce taxes by wiping out the in.
ternal revenue systematic direct taxes
upon our whole people, while the former,
in supporting the Presidents policy,
would reduce taxes. nominally, by destroy
ing the workshops and the labor interests
of the country. Randall will not thank
our neighbor for his friendship in that
line, nor endorse his position.

Richmond EXPOSITION,

The Exposition of the resources of. the
State at Richmond in October next, prom
ises to be great success and contribute
largely to advertising the wealth and Ca
paclties of Virginia. Every county in
the Commonwealth ought to take an inter
est in this movement to let the outside world
know what Virginia has, and what can be
done by the application of energy and
means. Augusta county. especially. with
her wonderful natural resources-her
vast diversified mineral deposits and agri-
cultural assurances and possibilities should
be represented on the occasion. To this
end we understand that Col. Ashton
StaEke, President of the Exposition, will
be in Stanton at July County Court, and
explain to the people what it means and
the advantages to our people to be gained
by taking a liberal and practical part in it.
Col. S. is clear thinker and good speaker,
and will no doubt entertain and instruct
those who may be present to hear him. Let
him have representative audience.
