The Fall River RepubIicaninco

The Fall River Republican in comment
ing on the nominees OF the independent
convention says: "More than half our
life has been spent upon a farm and all
u sympathies are with the farmer,
which is more than can be said of any OF
the editors OF the independent papers OF
the Hills, and we will support any meas
ure Tor the relief OF thefarmer orlaboring
man. but until the independent party
kicks out the teaches who have Joined it
merely for the sake Of office, and chops
out the two planks, free coinage and free
trade, we will remain in the republican
party" THE UNION man can beat the
Republicans farm record. AS to party
teaches, they all have them, but the in
dependents a smaller proportion than
all Others; and as for those Objectionable
planks, free silver and free trade, with
out which the Republican says cit is as
grand a platform as ever a party stood
upon" the first is no longer an issue
having been settled by the party to
which the Republican man belongs (why
don't he leave it?) and the second was
never in the platform OF the independent
party. Try again.

1t is an open fact that large sums OF
money are being used in the capital fight
and journal after journal throughout the
state are arraying themselves on one side
or the other OF the question. While the
TACT that papers can be bought on this
question is r%epugnant, yet on second
thought they have some justice on their
side. While different sections Of the
state will be differently effected by the
location OF the capital, yet the direct
gain comes to the spectators in real
estate in that city which may chance to
be victorious. Hence the funds forcarry-
ing on the fight come principally from
these interested parties. Viewed in this
light, there is surely some justice in the
papers demanding pay for space desired
by these different cities in which to put
forward the interests OF their localities.
Just as they require it.of the banker or

be an individuality about this depart

selling Of ones sell. The UNION man is
still new at the business, time may
make him less sensitive, but until then,
the capital folks will be treated in

FRUITS OF THE INDEPENDENT MOVE

ANoAAS VI III 1NDf NOV
Already good results are following agi-
tation. The republican press are urging
the party to be careful in it's choice Of
men. The New Era says: cit will require
a popular and satisfactory state ticket
to insure success at the polls" There is
no question but that the advent of a
third party will force both old parties to
make good nominations; and more, it
will cause the nomination OF farmers
wherever possible. In this way will they
endeavor to hold the farmer vote-buy
them with office. Remember w%hatcauses
this goodness(? and thatsuccess on these
grounds is only temporary relief. The
whole monetary system OF the country
must undergo a change before there is
permanent relief and this will never be
accomplished through the old parties.

The death OF William King in this city
last Sunday night, account of which will
be found in another column, is but one
of many similar cases. DO the advocates
OF whisky realize chat this is their work?
DO they comprehend that the article Of
necessity" which they so loudly pro-
claim to be OF benefit to the country and
its inhabitants is the direct cause OF
this mans untimely death? DO they
realize that ii all the accursed stuff that
was ever distilled were put up and sold
at market value it would not pay for
the life OF this one young man? Yes.
The most ignorant OF all mortals cannot
help seeing that this is the greatest reve-
nue. derived from the sale Of that liquid
damnation. But pecuniary gain and
not principle is what they are after.

One thing we would suggest that is not
within the province OF any committee

ceived may be lasting, it should receive
the attention of business men and our

pairs at blacksmith shops are stored in
the rear rather than in front OF shops.

The Hot Springs Star in an editorial
on the independent movement acknowl-
edges the rightof the people to indepen-
dent action; acknowledges that the re-
publican party was once an independent
party; believes that the party whip
should not be used to keep men in line,
but that they must be attracted and
held by the principles OF the party. In
SO far the Star exhibits it's usual indie
pendence and fairness for which it's past
utterances have established a reputation.
But right here, fear for the old party
steps in and the Star switches onto the
stock arguments OF the %opposition: "a
party must be measured largely by the
kind of men it puts i'll nomination, "etc.,
and proceeds to repeat the old stories OF
his enemies, that II. L. Loucks is a DEM
agogue, political charlton, ETC., etc. For
years the republican press has been cry
ing this charge and yet we have yet to
see any specific charges made, Did the
gentleman ever hold an office? If So,
what was it and how did he fill the po-
sition? Has Mr.. Loucks ever been even
a candidate for any office? Not to our
knowledge, except in the minds OF the
republican press, which set him up for
the senate and then knocked him out on
a disqualification clause. 1t was sug-
gested by some one at the independent
convention that the press had already
exhausted it's Loucks ammunition and
consequently he would suffer less than
some new man. He states himself that
the press disturbed him., but he has
learned that they squeal when hurt and
he can now read one OF their attacks and
in five minutes forget in what sheet he
saw it. The old story that he holds Il
fat office in the alliance is not worthy Of
the Star. The alliance members are
not SO lowin the human scale as to want
Mr.. Loucks', or any other mans, service
for nothing and yet the gentleman is to-
day poorer for the espousal Of this cause.
His farm is under mortgage and his
health enieebled by oyerwork. If the
Stars Judgment OF Mr.. Leavitt, candi-
date for congress, is as warped as is its
opinion OF Loucks, 1T amounts to little.
But it does go Il little farther and states
that he is an old greenbacker, a chronic
office seeker and bowler against mon
opolies. Now according to the Stars |
own judgement, Mr.. Leavitthas opinions
on the money question thatshould driye
him from the republican party, and be-
ng opposed to monopoly, he surely be-
ongs with the independent party. AS
the office seeking charge, that comes
l very poor taste from a party con-
'oiled by office seekers. A man in the
publican party may leave the halls Of
to fix up his fences, but let men
no are new to political life take an in
crest in public matters and they are
'orking for something. Let theiririends
them for positions, and they are
hronic office seekers. The Star has
made a general charge, but the verdict

THE PLOT AT CAMP DOUGLAS.
Col. Dulaney of Kentucky Tells an Inter-
esting Var Story.

Col. Dulaney of Bowling Green, KY,
was delegate from his state to the hor-
ticultural society meeting just closed at the
Sherman House. The colonel has quite
historical record, and embraces all OPP.
portunities, with appa1 ent relish, to relate
the incidents of his past life. Said he to
a reporter:
was soldier IN the confederate army
during the entire period of the war and
belonged to General John Morgans COM
mand. In 1864, during the time of the
democratic national convention held here,
there were many confederate soldiers
struggled into Chicago with view of at
tempting the release of rebel prisoners
then incarcerated at Camp Douglas. | at
that time occupied quite prominent posi-
ton in that hazardous movement. The
time set apart for action to be taken was
the earlier part Of October, but for reasons
well known to the projectors at that time
it was deferred month later. At that
time there were to my knowledge at least
200 confederates on the outside of the
prison here ready aud enlisted to assist in
the cause of liberty to those on the inside
who numbered about $500. The federal
troops here numbered about 5000, who
were under the command of Gen. Sweet
The prisoners were thoroughly organized,
and familiar with our plans. They
were organized into regiments, battalions
and companies, and to man were ready
to make the fight or break for liberty
whenever the order or rather the signal
was given. A great many of the federal
garrison here were disabled from sickness
and other causes SO as to be unfit for duty,
while others were on leave all of which we
were perfectly familiar with and made our
calculations accordingly. These difficult
ties, if they can be called such, materially
reduce the Federal forces, whom we were
watching with vigilant eyes. In the ex-
element created by the exposure to the plan
to rescue the prisoners | escaped from the
city and rejoined my command in The
south, while many of the conspirators were
caught, tried by court martial at Cincin-
natl, and at least twenty of them sentenced
to be shot, which sentence was afterwarG
committed to life imprisonment to the Dry
Tortugas. After the war was over all that
were yet alive were pardoned and returned
to their homes"
When asked if he was satisfied with the
result of the war, he replied:
Il think it was the best thing that ever
happened to the south and I am perfectly
satisfied"

A Story of Wendell Phillips.
Philadelphia Press.

M. Purvis told a good and characters
tic story of the late Wendell Philips, who
fought side by side with him during the
battle for emancipation. One day he
arose to address meeting that was more
than usually hostile to the aboiitionists
and had howled down and insulted several
previous speakers. Mr. Phillips walked to
the front of the platform, and scanning
the angry faces in front OF him with keen
and fearless eye, began: You Sound
rels!" Instantly there was a storm of
angry bowls and curses, but when silent
he repeated in louder voice You scound
rels!" Again the storm arose, and again
he repeated the term. The fourth time
the American admiration for fearlessness
and fair play asserted itself, and the bal
ance of bis speech was listened to In silence
and with respect. Another time Mr..
Phillips was In a railway car in which
were a number of ministers returning
from a convention. Among the number
was man with loud voice, who was
loudly declaiming against the abolition
lists. and especially against Mr.. Phillips.
He was talking at everyone In the car, and
finally shouted that he understood that
MIR. Phillips was on board. Calling the
conductor he asked him to point out Mr..
Phillips. The conductor indicated the
orator, who had been a quiet and interest
ed listener.
The little man with the voice strobe up
the aisle to a disrespectful distance, and
after striking an attitude the following
coliloquy took place:
80 you are Wendell Phillips?''
Il am, sir, )" replied the orator quietly.
Then why don't you 60 South snd
preach your doctrine there?" shouted the
little minister.
AT that time" explained Mr.. Purvis,
relating the incident, ANY aboIitionist
would have been lynched in the South"
Replying to the clergyman, Mr.. Phillips
asked:
You are minister of the Gospel?"
Il am, sir
Your mission is to save souls from
help
1T is, sir
Then why don't you go there, sir?"

conditions imposed by the act of congress
of 1870 readmitting Mississippi into the
union, under which the state was forever
prohibited from imposing an educational
or property qualification upon the right Of
Suffrage Can anything be done which
does not violate the spirit of
the fundamental conditions? He
could think of but one thing, and that WIS
to confer suffrage upon the $4,000 Or s.,
600 white women OF Mississippi who
owned property and were taxed thereon
without representation. The speaker al
so saw danger in distributing the great
labor system of the state. He also critized
the Australian system as Intellectual if it
would be easy to teach negroes the names
of candidates, so they would be able to in
dictate their choice at elections, though
they were unable to read The p0it-tax
system, he predicted. would disfrancbise
more whites than negroes. The poor white
men would not pay it and the poor colored
men would pay it with means furnished
by the republican campaign funds, as was
the case in Virginia. The speaker then
essayed to come at what he called the
prejudice of education" out of which
came all the sentimentality that consigned
woman to her sphere and relegated her
to the level of a slave. The women, he
said, could not be kept down. They would
have their rights.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Jewels speech
the applause was loud and long-continued,
the galleries, which were crowded with
ladies, joining heartily.

The Benefit of Newspaper Training.
Forum

[ believe | have done everything viii,
an editor or publisher ever has to do, from.
directing wrappers up to writing the BIZ
ography OF president within an hour af-
ter his death. This means if the training
be continued through many years of life,
and if one be under good chief, that one
gains, of necessity, the ready use, at least,
of his own language. We newspaper men
may write English very i'll, but we write it
easily and quickly. So that to us, who
have been in this business, there is some
thing amazing to hear clergyman say
that he occupied week IN composing a
sermon, which was, at the outside, thirty
five hundred words in length. One can
understand absolute inability to do it at
all; but no newspaper man understands
how man, who can do it. can spend thir-
ty-six hours in doing it.
If you have to send copy upstairs
hour after hour, with a boy taking the
slips from you, one by one, as they are
written, and you know that you are never
to see what you write until you read it
be punctuated carefully, written carefully,
Another thing goes with it. You will
form the habit Of determining what you
mean to say before you say it, how far
you want to go, and where you want to
stop. And this will bring you to valu-
able habit of life-to stand by what has
been decided. Napoleon gave the same
advice when he said IF you set out to
take Vienna, take Vienna"
For these reasons, am apt to recon-
mend young men to write for the press
early in life, being we'll aware that the
habit of doing this has been of use to me
