Messrs. Burnett & Snavely, of the
Paris Mercury, add word on the
Fanz feature of the lugalls speech:
"The Aberdeen outrage, according
to the testimony of FAM, the victim OF
1t, resolves itself into u blow with u
whip inflicted on FAM by Il fellow
workman. FAM declares that he left
Aberdeen voluntarily, that he was re-
quested to remain and was offered
ample protection, and that he was Il
democrat FAM will hardly be called
upon to testify before the senate inves-
tigating committee, as his evidence
would spoil all the impassioned repub.
lican sp-e -eches which have been deiy-
cred"
Editor Frank ii. Sosey, OF the old
reliable Palmyra Spectator:
"The election OF two democrats to alI
the vacancies caused by death in the
Ohio legislature indicates that the re.
suit of the recent election in that state
was based upon more serious consider
ations than simple disaffection in the
republican ranks. The democrats have
the governor, lieutenant governor and
a majority in the legislature. The work
OF re.districting the state upon more
equitable plan than that adopted by the
republicans will be an important duty
OF tho legislators, and the representa-
ton in the next congress will be more
evenly divided"
Editor }. f. Payne, of the Indepen-
dence Sentinel:
"The hungry eyes of aspiring repub-
ican politicians are still turned to the
wealthy treasury of Missouri. They had
their clutches on it once. and the state
has not yet fully recovered from the
poison OF their iangs. Ever since the
state was wrested from them by a.rob.
bed and outraged people, they have
cursed themselves for ever letting go al
all. They will work hard this year and
next and next to recover Missouri.
Only democratic organization, demo-
cratic watchfulness, democratic solida-
rity can save the state from rapine and
robbery"
Editor Mills Williams, of the Noun
tain Grove Eagle, sensibly observes:
"'It democrat lives on one quarter
section of land and republican on an
adjoining quarter section, are they not
mutually interested in good govern
ment, cheap goods and low taxesr-
Humsnsville Bee. The above paragraph
is taken from al organ of the Farmers
and Laborers' Union. We answer the
question, they are mutually and equally
interested In good government. They
should read, think and talk with each
other In the most friendly manner upon
the subject. They should not be too
prejldiced to read papers of political
laith opposed TO their own. They
should read the platforms of each polit
ical party, and base their ideas from
the plan of government proposed by
the platforms. and not from prejudices
handed down by their fathers, based

before the people from 1850 to 1868.
Base their idea upon the issues of to-
day-calculate the cost OF what they
have to buy and the cost of what they
have TO sell, calculate the tariff upon
the one and the protection upon the
other, substract the one from the Other
and sec whether they are gamers ol
losers by tariff, see whether they wan
high tariff or low tariff, or whether
they want tariff at all. In short reat
and think with as little prejudice a
yonr nature will allow, and better re
suits will be reached by the farmers o

"Reed, Mckinley and Cannon hav
for many years been chiefs among tn
'tilibusters' and yet they now assum
the 'holier than thou attitude AM
thank heaven they are not as thos
poor democratic sinners who insist o
