The anonymous circular which is being
scattered about the city, rejecting unfavor-

Among the gentlemen most prominent In
the Democratic county convention yesterday
was the Hon. Warren III. Vinton of Gray.
For some years past Mr.. Vintoa has been
without permanent political home. He
stopped over night with the Greenbackers.
and later with the Prohibitionists. But
either his or their company was not agree
able, and accordingly he has now settled
down with the Democracy. We hope he
will find the company agreeable and tarry
among them the remainder Of his days. We
hope also as time wears on his feelings tow
ard the Republicans may be Modified. At
present they appear to be of most bitter
character. Yet they are no more bitter than
his feelings against the Democracy used to
be. Yesterday he referred to Mr. Blaine as
Jim" Blaine, and abused him In the regula-
tion Democratic style. Yet the English Ian
guage scarcely affords more glowing trib-
ute OF one man to another than that paid
only few years ago by Mr.. yinton to Mr.
Blaine.

1t appears now that the Mills bill Is no
longer one of the ''insidious installments"
by which protection Is to be got rid Of, but
''the peoples tariff that In raising the neces-
sary revenue will give reasonable incidental
aid to such business interests as will best
promote the general prosperity, and give a
chance for individual enterprise and the
regular employment Of labor" Both these
definitions of the Mills bill are from our es-
teemed contemporary, the Argus. The Sec
ond one Is the more recent, aud Of course
represents the Argus's more mature judg-
meDt. The Peoples Tariff''-that sounds
well. What people? The lumbermen Of
Maine got no incidental aid" under 1t, but
the rice producers of South Carolina get
reasonable aid" to the tune of 100 per cent,
while Mr.. Hayemeyer, the president of the
great sugar trust, and the Louisiana sugar
planters get reasonable aid" to the tune Of
68 per cent. Evidently 1t isnot the whole
people that this peoples tariff Is concocted
for.

il is urged that thousands of veterans would

unable TO do so unless fnanhncially assisted by

father Of HUGH ID. Brooks. alias W. H. L. Max-
well. has written long and touching appeal to
tie American people to help him save his boy
from the gallows. The elder Brooks gives
reasons for asking public assistance in this way:
The injustice of his sons trial and the hard
ships Of the Missouri State laws. which operate
entirely in favor OF the lower courts 10 the ex-
ciusion of the defendants chances; the incompe-
tence of two jurors; the errors IN the criminal
judges iustructions the failure of the court to
admit proof Of the accused's good character; the
suppression OF evidence, and particularly the
frequently denounced Dingfs.der plot, by which

and respectful. but strong language The tone
of the appeal 10 we'll tempered. and its terms are
