j. NJ. Mccall, who has been
chosen by the Republicans TO
make the Senatorial race in this
district should receive at least q
thousand majority in Adair coun-
ty. No man in the county has
worked harder or given his time
and money more freely for the up
building of our town and county
than has Mr.. Mccall. His
qualifications and devotion to
home interests make him worthy
of the support of every voter in
the county.
AT the convention last Sat
urday the Democrats nominated
Michael Hays of Adair, for repre-
sentative. Mr.. Hays is Catho-
lie and it is said that the Demo
Gratis expected the Republicans
would make war on him because
of his religion. If this was their
motive in nominating Mr. Hays,
they have made great mistake,
for the political fight is one fol
protection to American industries
aud not fight against any reli-
gious denomination.
When Roger Q. Mills and
President Cleveland were getting
up the Mills bill, they decidedthat
to carry New York, it was neces-
sary to put wool, zinc, and lead Oh
the free list. But the question
arose as to what effect that would
have on Missouri. Pres. Cleveland
said: "We will send for Vest.
When Mr.. Vest appeared, they
told him it would be necessary tc
put wool, lead and zinc on the free
list to carry New York, but that
they were afraid it would cause
Missouri to go Republican. "Put
them ON the free list" said Mr.
Vest, "The people of Missouri vii
do just as l tell Them
When the report of the
committee on resolutions was
called for at the Dem ocratic con
ventlon last Saturday afternoon
the secretary arose with single
half sheet of legal cap in his hand
After reading what would have
covered half dozen sheets of lega
cap, curiosity was aroused and at
tention became riveted upon the
half sheet of paper. AS he held il
up between the light and the
audience, dark space the width
of a newspaper column could bt
discerned. This explained how
it was that SO much matter coulc
be put on one side of half sheer
of legal cap. The committee hac
boldly clipped the published reso
lutions of some other meeting anc
affixing their names thereto, were
endeavoring to put them off OF
the convention as original. We
only mention this to show thai
Democratic leaders: never lose al
opportunity to show their con-
tempt for home productions.
At Hornellsville, n. Y.
Sept. l. there was Democratic
meeting of a kind never known
before. James Gray a Democrat
led the movement. There was g
large attendance of farmers from
the jacent country. all Democrats
Andrew K. Fletch er, a Democrat
was made chairman, and all other
officers CHOSEN were democrats.
The proceedings included the
laising of a lofty pole, from which
floated a twenty-five foot stream Ell
bearing the names of Harrison
and Morton. All the speeches
were in favor of Harrison and
Morton. All the cheering was
for Harrison and Morton. The
city of Hornellsville which gave
So majority for Cleveland in 1884
was pledged for 200 majority for
Harrison and Morton. This is
the political condition throughout
Western New York and in many of
the counties there is a practically
unanimous movement by Demo-
cratic farmers, workingmen,
manufacturers, and business men
in to the Republican camp.
