says Col. John A, Graham, one Of the
pioneers of western civilization, died in
this city. He was born in Stauntcn, Va.
in 1897, and celebrated his Goth birthday
last December. The ambition of his latter
days was to live long enough to vote a
second time for Blaine He emigrated
to Kentucky Ohio, Indiana, and finally,
in lS47, to Iowa. For number of years
he was leader in that new and rapidly
developing state. In 1861 he was alp
pointed chief clerk to the register Of the
treasury, afterward bee oming assistant
register. He remained in Office until
1876, when he resigned because Of old age
and by reason of increasing inlirmities,
To his own surprise, as we'll as that OF his
friends, his life was prolonged, and on
Saturday evening his mind was clear as
ever. He was a pioneer Republican, and
exceedingly popular with his party III

The Young Democracy. aided by the
Republicans elected theirimunicjpal ticket
in New Orleans on the 18th by 6 600 ma
sority over the regular Democratic ring
ticket. Nichols. Democratic candidate
for Governor, was elected in the State,
over Yarmouth. Republican, by $4,000
majority. This result was secured by
wholesale ballot-box stuf1ing. In one par
ish where the colored vote is 10 to l OF the
white, there was recorded 1000 Democratic
majority out of population Of $4,000.
That is sufficient proof of Democratic
methods. And yet it is claimed that
Louisiana has Republican form of gov
eminent. In a fair election the Republi-
cans could carry the State by 10000.

Our Democratic friends in Rockingham
acquitted themselves handsomely last
court day at Harrisonburg. They seemed
to be tired of lodging and have come
out squarely for free trade, Cleveland and
O'Ferrall. They even wanted to read
Samuel j. Randall out of the party because
of his tariff views; and force Judge Har-
rls to surrender to the free trade wing of
the party, or suffer the penalty of his
recusancy to its controlling principle
There is to be square fight between De
inocracy and Free Trade on the one side,
and Republicanism and Protection to
Home Labor and Home Manufactures on
She other, this fall. This is fair and frank
and we welcome the issue.

1t is a very simple, yet very pregnant
question which the people of the United
States will be called upon to determine
in November next. 1t is whether our
workshops shall be built up in this coun-
try or across the ocean: whether our own
labor shall be employed in our own indus
tries, or European labor employed in Eu-
ropean countries to make fabrics for
American consumption; whether we shall
build up home market for the farmer,
diversifying our industries go as to encour
age:domestic exchanges or depend entirely
upon foreign countries for market for the
increased agricultural productions which
would result from drawing Workmen out
of our manufactures and forcing themto
till the soil for living. It is American
prosperity. progress and wealth on the one
side. and European progress and wealth,
with our country impoverished, on the
other. Il is square Issue of Home
protection against foreign control of our
markets.

Our Rockingham Democratic friends
in endorsing Cleveland and his free trade
message and the Mills tariff bill, seem to
have forgotten that there ever wasa Roam

of the entire internal tax system. When
the Democracy endorse the President by
virtually declaring against the repeal Of
the tobacco tax and the tax On fruit bran
dies, they only announce in favor Of home
taxation for the benefit of foreign produ-

over American industries and American
interests. When these points are pressed
upon the people. there will be many an in
