-Cleveland will not assist
Gov. Campbell in the Ohio cam
paign. The reason is, it is pre-
sumed, he does not know what to
do with the silver question.
The Democratic press will |
now be full of explanations as to
what caused the recent advance in
pork. No time need be wasted in
explanations. The farmer already
knows that it was Blaine and rec
iprocity.
Should the newly -contrived
harvesting machine for using
straw bands and cheap grass
twine for the binding of sheaves
prove q success, they will create a
revolution in the binding twine
business.
The offensive odors arising |
from certain localities of our city,
are certainly strong enough to at
tract the attention of the city !
marshal. A liberal application of
disinfectants in these places
would render the atmosphere less
offensive, and greatly reduce the
chances of sickness during the
heated term.
There WAS one disgrsceful
affair connected with the recent un-
yelling of the statue of ''Stonewsll"
jackson at Lexington, and that
was permitting the stool-pigeon OF
the Louisiana lottery, Jubal A.
Early. to pronounce the GRAFTON.
1twas certainly Disgrace to the
memory of "a man whose purity Of
character was never questioned.
The revival of the farming
interest, SO marked and radical, is
likely to warrant tbs holding of
spirited agricultural fairs the COM
ing autumn. Competition will be
brisk and attendance large. With
good crops, good prices and gen.
eral health prevailing, tn Ameri-
can farmer has q prospect before
him that is seldom surpassed.
1t ts very easy to talk ebout
the extravsgant appropriations
made by the last Congress; but
why is it that our Democratic
friends do not specify the particu-
lar appropriation which they con-
slider extravagant. There has
been constant talk OF extravaganza
but not single extrsvagant ap-
preparation has been pointed out.
Secretary Foster has made
many friends by declining 10 be
bull-dozed by Powderly and the
executive committee of The knights
of Labor. No organization has any
right to dictate TO the head of
department what shall or shall
not, be done, and the great
mass of the people may be relied
on TO back up the man who has
the nerve to resent any any at
tempt to dictate to him, no matter
who makes it.
The GRAPHIC Is highly |
gratifed to see the display of in
dustry exhibited by our citizens,
In clearing the streets and yards !
of weeds and grass. Let the goo d |
work continue, and soon we will |
have one of the incest, and most |
cleanly cities in the state. The |
sidewalks need attention in MANY
places, and ought to be repaired or |
replaced by new one, or thrown
out altogether. They are danger
GUS in their present condition.
Jerry Simpson making |
third party speeches in New York |
and Ohio is a very different indi-
vidual, in the eyes of the Demo-
Gratis, from Jerry Simpson making
third party speeches in Georgia.
It's all very nice to have the
Farmers Alliance in the Republi-
can states 60 into the third party |
movement, but it is rank treason
for such thing to be even talked
about in the Democratic South.
Republican members of the ALI
ance are not as blind as some OF
the Southern democrats believe
them to be, as Will be seen before
long.
There is reason to believe
that the expectation of specie has
practically ceased, and that there
will be return movement this
