GENTLE reader, if you want to en-
joy contentment and happiness, you
had better enroll yourself under the
banner Of Democracy as it goes march
ing on to victory and good times. The
Republicans are very respondent at
the weakness Of their ticket. They
have no more hopes Of electing their
ticket than they have Of crying out
Protect US from cheap whisky -
They will get neither one. The poo
pic will leave the internal revenue tax
alone and the Democrats will give the
Republicans eternal Cts at the polls.
If you want memento TO hand
down to posterity as a gonc-by-gono-
ness we would advise you to vote the
Republican ticket as it will be your
last opportunity to do so. The 2. o.
p. will be buried in November. with
the epitaph Gone, but not for
gotten"

We WANT to sec every Democrat in
Preston county at the Democratic con-
vention here on July 10Th. We can
and must nominate a winning ticket.
The Democracy throughout the land
have buckled on the armor and will
sweep the country in November, and
Preston might just as we'll join the van
and make things unanimous.

THE Democracy of Ne%burg organ
lied Cleveland and Thurman club on
Monday night with membership of
sixty-eight to start with. The Democ-
racy of the metropolis shifts victory in
the air, and we trust it may become
contagious throughout the county.
They are all workers in the good cause
about Newburg, and having such lead
ors as Capt G. D. Furbee, j. A.
Clark, DIR. w. NJ. Dent, Col. Worth
Smith, James Talbot, James Turnkey
and scores of others whose names we
can not recall, they can find no such
word in their lexicon as "fail."
The ARGUS sends greetings to the
Newburg Cleveland and Thurman club
and earnestly hopes other towns in the
county will follow suit.

INDEPENDENT REVOLT OF 'ss

NDEfENDENI HENOLT OE 'SS.
William S. Pierce, one of Pittsburg' s
leading lawyers, well known as an in
telligent aud conservative citizen, and
lifelong adherent to the Republican
party, has declared himself in favor of
Cleveland and Thurman and the prin-
ciples laid down in the Democratic ma
tional platform.
And so they come. The independ-
ent revolt from the Republican party
in "a was nothing to what the indie
pendent revolt will be in SO. Mr..
Pierce has joined George William Cur
tbs, Of Halper's Weekly; ex-Mayor
Seth Low, of Brooklyn; the Provi-
dence, K. L., Journal the New York
Times the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser; the New York evening Post !;
the Springfield, Mass, Republican,
which are among those whom we can
on the moment call TO mind, who were
formerly strong Republicans, who will
support the Democratic ticket, and those
vigorous kickers on the Republican
platform and candidates, the Chicago
Tribune, the ST. Paul Pioneer Press,
the Omaha Bee, the Colorado Springs
Gazette, the Philadelphia Telegraph,
Indianapolis Journal, etc., etc. And
we must not forget the esteemed and
much dissatisfied Pat Ford, of the
Irish World.
Every Republican in the land who
has kept his eyes open, no matter how
shrilly he may whistle to keep up his
courage is sad way down in the bottom
of his heart and in the hearts of many
of them not so very far down, but that
it can be seen from the surface.
On the other hand the only acquisi-
ton to the Republican ranks we have
heard of to date is the Chinese Weekly
News, of New York.

We CANNOT refrain from extending
our congratulations to our old friend,
Joseph A. Miller, who fought so val
iantly and nobly for his man, Mr.. Nc
Cormick. Those who doubt his abil-
ity as scientific wire-puller and polit-
ical hustler should cast their eye on
the Howesville vote.

HE HAD A JOB.

Last Sunday night at the revival meet
ing at the South Emporia Avenue Church
there was great interest manifested. After
the preaching many of the brethren went
among the congregation to talk with those
whom they supposed were interested in
the matter of their souls salvation. At
the left of the center circle sat young
man who watched the proceedings with
deep interest He did not seem to be much
affected however, his interest seemed more
like that of card player when he has
picked up his hand, during the deal, and
was watching to see the trump turned.
One good old brother walked up to
him and extended his hand. The
Young man, in mechanical sort
of way, took hold of it.
"Where do you live" said the good broth
er: The young man replied solemnly that
at present he lived in this city. He had
Just come here from Chicago.
What is your name?' the brother asked.
s'My name is Tascott.''
Don't you want to join US and work
for jesus"
NO" said the young man with appa-
rent seriousness. Il have a job now set
ting type for Marsh Murdoch"
The good old brother looked steadily into
the face of the young man for some time
with an expression that plainly said, well,
you are one of the goats for certain, and
then walked away. The young man then
assumed an expression Of great innocence.

reports from the chairmen of the different
committees, and from Mrs. A. Basley, the

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The board of county commissioners met
in special session yesterday morning to
open bids for the court house bonds. The
bids were as follows: Splitter & Company.

given to buy the other $15O,00O at same
terms: NJ. W. Levy, S203, ,230 with interest;
state board school funds purchase at par
with interest from date of acceptance and
money when desired.
Mr.. Barnett, of Toledo, represente d
Splitter g. Co., and seemed quite angry be-
cause some bids were better than his. He
presented the board with a number OF
broadside insinuations about it

an outsider to make any effort at a pur-
chase. His grlpings were considered not
exactly in order, but allowed being sup
posed to come from '.freshie.',
The board has not yet decided what bid
will be received. The members seem quite
well pleased with the bids, being better
than they had expected.
Chairman Alley said yesterday that it
was difficult problem to get Jail and
court house worth 500 900 ont of 500, 900.
After an investigation it seemed almost
impossible to erect suitable county build
ings with less money. As result OF the
situation he said that the board intended
TO go before the next legislature with a
bill so framed which, if passed, will give
better chances to sell the county. The
present law, as Interpreted by the chair.
man, calls for cash sale of the building,
which, in his opinion, will not prove as
divisable to the county as If the board was
