Don't Burst Your Suspenders.
Our Republican cotemporaries are
believing and paving the earth like
mad bulls, because Gov. Wilson
will not convene the Legislature in
extra session before the contest
committee is ready to make its re-
port. Not only are they abusing
and villifying Gov. Wilson, but
they have extended their villainous
attacks to Hon. Henry S. Walker,
Secretary of State, whom they
charge with preventing the Cover
nor from issuing his proclamation,
so that he may hold on to his lucra-
tive Office. To what depths of vii
lainy and lying would not they de-
seend, to accomplish their ends2-
We advise them not to burst their
suspenders, because the Democrats
do not see fit to permit them to steal
the State for Golf. Let them hold
ON and smother their wrath, our
nervy Governor will call the Legis-
lature together at the proper time,
and when it is called together it
will be of little political comfort to
the Republican hypocritical rascals
who cry "thief' in order to cover
up their own infamous attempt to
steal the State, with the aid of vir-
ginia niggers. When the Legisla-
ture does meet, it will not be of any
political service to the Republican
schemers and tricksters.

Saysan exchange: "The farmerso of
Michigan are coming ont of the
lethargy that has made fools of them
for SO many years. The Patrons of
Husabndry in that state, awakened
by the oppression of the sugar trust
and other unholy combinations, are
recognizing in a most vigorous
manner, and already there are
$4,000 Changers enrolled in the va
rious societies of the State. There
is determination on their part to
submit no longer to these merchan-
tile expressions, and organizations
for self protection are springing up
everywhere. They are beginning
to see what the effect is of such
monopolies as a protective tariff
encourages and fosters in the land.
While all their products are sold at
a price fixed by others, all they buy
is sold at price fixed by others also,
SO that they are merely hewers of
wood and drawers of water for the
commercial world.
"This presents the unjust features
of commerce. The commerce and
trade of the world is merely the
handling ofthe products of the ag-
riculturist and miner. Yet the pro-
ducers and laborers are merely ma
chimes to produce and labor for the
monopolists who have all the bene-
fits of protection of law which the
poor devils who make a country
have nothing in their behalf except
sham and pretense."

Last Wednesday night, pursuant
to call, the Democrats of this town,
to the number of about forty, met
at the Court House for the purpose
of organizing Permanent Demo
cratic Club for this place.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Rankin Wiley, Jr., and on
his motion, Hon. ]. ]. Bright was
elected temporary Chairman, and
Mr. NJ. E. Tracy. temporary secre-
tary.
Hon. c. E. Hogg, being called for
responded and addressed the meet
ing in short but forcible speech,
in which he urged Democratic org
animation. At the conclusion of his
speech, Secretary Tracy read the
list of names signed to the call for
this Club meeting, and an invitation
was extended to all present who
had not signed the call to come for
ward and do so, and quite a number
responded to the invitation, among
whom were several who had here
tOfore acted with the Republican
party.
The Club starts off with a mem
bership of about eighty members.
On motion, Mr.. Bright was elect
ed permanent President, and Mr..
Tracy, permanent Secretary.
A Committee of five was appoint
ed to select a name for the Club,
and to prepare a constitution and
bylaws, for its government, who
are to report at its next meeting,
due notice of which will be given
in the REGISTER.
The Democrats of this place have
started right, and we hope other To-
calities will follow our example, by
at once organizing similar Clubs
This is the most effective way in
which to organize the Democratic
party throughout the county Lack
of organization and "bad blood" in
the Democratic party, heretofore,
lost us the county, except as to two
of our officials, Happily, there is
now no disafection among the Dem
ocrats of this county. All the
wrongs of one section against the
other, whether real or imaginary,
have been forgotten, and hereafter
the Democrats will work as one to
reclaim Mason county from Repub-
iican mis- rule. By the formation
of these Clubs and thorough organ
ization, the Democrats can again,
next fall, place Mason in the Demo
cratic column of counties in this
State. All we need is good organi-
cation, watchfuI eye on Republi-
can corruptionists and a systematic
plan for campaign work, and the
Democrats will elect the two mem
bers of the next Legislature, the
County and Circuit Court Clerks,
the two Assessors, and the State
Senator from:this District.
Let the good work go on, all over
the county. Organize your Clubs
and get them in good working ord
er, attend your meetings regularly,
and work to increase your member
ship, and the fruits of your work,
will be victory.

1t is reported from Washington
that the gorgeous gin mill of Hon.
Levi p Morton, Vice President of
the United States, is in full blast.
Bntit seems there is a hitch about
the license. One or two residents
of the block, in which the honorable
Vice President is selling the finest
wines and liquors, foreign and do
nestle, beer, ale and porter on
draught, and fancy imported and
domestic cigars, are trying to pre-
vent the Vice President from get
ting legal authorization for his bar
room.
1t is strange that there exists peo-
pie so squeamish as to be scandaliz-
ed by Mr.. Morton's latest business
venture. But they do exist and are
endeavoring to close up Mr.. Morton's
"giIded palace. .
But the Vice President is match
for them. He is running his saloon
by the authority of an Aextraordin-
airy permit" from the District Com
missioners.
And he is running it successfully.
A Washington dispatch says there
is a great stream of customers in
and out of Morton's saloon all day,
the Republicans especially being
evidently DESTROYS of showing that
they are in accord with his enter
prise. Its stated that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union will.
call meeting within few days,
when a series of resolutions will be
passed, denouncing the Vice Presi-
dent for his active participation in
the liquor traffic. Brother st. John,
the Prohibition candidate for Presi-
dent four years ago, is using the
matter in a lively way on the stump.
The special continues: 20
There is no doubt that the incl
dent of the opening of the Vice
Presidential saloon has caused a
good deal of annoyance to the ad
ministration. The President is
annoyed and angry, and SO is Mr..
Blaine, while the pious superinten-
dent of the Bethany Sunday school
at Philadelphia is Mortified, but as
Morton did not expect the direct
patronage of these gentlemen any
way, he feels easy with the assur-
ance that the working and drinking
men of the party will back him up.

"The Grip or Partisanship
from the Throat Of Pairio-

tAA8AAAsf
National Democrat.
"Who would tear the grip of par
tisanship from the throat of pitribs
tism?. was tho striking questions
that the Hon. Will Cumback, of In
diana, asked New York audience
before which he was lecturing one
evening last week.
Is it possible that partisanship
can be base enough to grip the
throat of patriotism2 1t is, and we
can show what partisanship it is
that is trying to choke the breath
of life out of the noblest of all hui
man passions.
Twenty-Five years ago this coun-
try was involved in civil war. At
ter the end of the war the defeated
section accepted the political and
commercial results of the battle field
with more alacrity and good faith
than a defeated party had ever be-
fore displayed From that time to
the present day there has never
been single incident to Justify the
suspicion that the people of the
South were not sloyal to the Union
as the people of the North. The
readiness with which both parties
after the civil war laid aside their
weapons and returned to the arts of
peace, and so far as the masses of
the people are concerned, have ever
since co-operated for the common
good of glorious country, is the
most magnificent thing in human
history. Its contemplationis some.
thing to make every American
proud that he is an American. And
yet all the politicians of the Repub-
Iican party deny the existence of
this browning glory of American
citizenship, and for % years almost
their entire stock in trade has been
the remuneration OF the people OF
the South as disloyal, and their fav-
orite appeal has been to the base
and the baseless suspicion and dis
trust of the South entertained in the
North, Last year, while the orators
and editors of the Democratic party
were discussing the best means OF
promoting the common good, about
which it is inevitable that men OF
equal intelligence and patriotism
should judge differently, the orators
and editors Of the Republican party
were appealing to the people of the
North to "vote as they shot," to
rally to the defence of their country,
as though it were in any danger; to
defeat the people of the South; to
rescue the country from the control
of "rebels."
Has not Republican partisanship
sunk its claws into the throat OF
patriotism2
The Republican party as a politi-
cal organization, and with due re-
gard to abundant individual excep,
tions, has forgotten all about coun-
try; it has lost all sense of Ameri-
can citizenship. To it the Southern
States are conquered territory; the
people of the South are to them
what the inhabitants of Alsace and
Lorraine are to the Germans; one
half the people of this country have
been brought up to believe that the
other half consist of public enemies
from whom the Government is to be
saved every four years.
