friends rs the merchant can have. Our aim

merchant, and if the farmer fails the mer-
chant cannot prosper. We would like to
see country merchants who have farms,
wrap their cotton in Cotton Bagging. That
would help us in the Bagging fight, and we
will help these who help us.
Politicians need not dread us we will not
forbid one of our members running for Office,
but we will not vote far him simply because
he is member of the Farmers Alliance.
Farmers have to furnish food for all
classes, and, Mr.. Editor, you may think VIC
don feed very lavishly, but we do the best
we can, and believe we would be willing to
change rations with you, but not swap work

BRIEF SUMMING UP OF THE RESULTS OF

that so often chill new administration bovo
blown this year with unexpected vio.
lence. Pennsylvania is about the only Re-
publican State that stands unmoyed and
even here 1t Is to the Democratic failure in
Plnladelphia more than to the votes of the
Counties that the Republican majority is
mainly due 80
Ohio has gone Democratic, electing Camp.
Dell dovernor over Foraker by some 5000
majority The Democrats have apparently
elected their whole State ticket, as well os n
majority in each branch of the Legislature
thus securing the United States Senatorsbip
Even more surprising is the result in Iowa
where Democratic Governor is elected for
the first time since the Republican party
was organized. The Republicans retain the
Legislature, having districted the State for
that purpose, but the popular verdict is en-
phatic.

fourths Of the House of Representatiy "a
and two-thirds Of the Senate. In MARYLAND
the Republicans made some slight gains. but
the Legislature Is still strongly Democratic

are all on the Democratic side. Albeit il
elected Governor Of New Jersey by at least
1000 majority, and the Democrats have n
safe majority in the Legislature. New York
gives some 25,OO0 plurality to the Demo-

ture. Massachusetts, on the other 6anS

much like cub, however, rs a calf, and ha.
no sign of % tail; no not bit, and never viii
have. The sex mas been u matter of som,

neither. Tho little imp is completely wrap

Pass Him Around.

few weeks ago. very pleasant gentle
man. pretending to represent n Soda Water
Bot'leiDg Company, took in two citizens oi
our town, by selling each receipt for max
ing Soda Water, for which he charged three
dollars cash, and took their ~ders for bot
ties, representing to one i, :hat the
bottles would come from New York and to
the other that they would come from West
Virginia. The bottles tave not arrived yet,
and the fact that he gave to each different
shipping point, it is very evident that he is
fraud, and should be passed around by the
press.

THE Fastest TEAM IN THE WORLD
Cleveland, Nov. 1l.-Mr. w. J. Gordon is
now in better health than he has been for
some time past, and he has again taken to
active road driving. He is using for road
purposes what is perhaps the most wonder
ful team ever driven. Guy, 2:1Oa, and
Clingstone, 2:14, compose it. Both horses,
though in perfect condition, have not been
speeded lately, though Guy could trot PIP or
El3 at any time with case. Clingstone
could trot mile in 2:l6 without any special
preparation. There is no question but that
the pair, given good day and good track,
could easily beat the team record, and even
do better than the trial mark of 3:153, made
by Aldine and Maude s.
