County Official Paper.
a DAY OF SErrLciME.N. COM-
ING.

The Mckinley high tariff bill ad-
vances the duty on all tho cheaper
grades Of clothing that must of neces-
sity be purchased and worn by the
clothing worn by the rich, the duty is
decreased. For instance, wooleus
used by the working classes have
been increased from 80 per cent. TO
ITO, while broadcloth was increased
from 40 to 60 only. Sealskin sacques
are reduced from 80 to 20. Cheap
black alpaca has been increased from
80 to 100. This is worn by people in
ordinary circumstances, but such
articles as black silk. and rich velvet
are not changed. The test could be
continued to hardware, chemicals,
sugar, articles that are Of daily neces-
sity. The prices Of all will be in
creased. 1t only tends to confirm
what the Democratic party has al
ways charged that Republican legis-
lation was and always will be in the
interest of the rich as against the
poor. Times will grow harder, prices
higher, money scarcer and products
lower as the operations Of this new
law becomes extended. Some day,
and that soon, we will have a sad
awakening in this country.-[Water-
loo, IN. W Observer.

MR.. PROCTOR ACCEPTS.

Hon. Redfeld Proctor has sent the
following letter to Governor Page Of
Vermont accepting the appointment
to the seat in the Senate made vacant
by the resignation of Senator Ed
munds:
take this, my first opportunity, to
acknowledge the receipt of your let
ter of the Oath in which you state
your purpose to appoint me as sue
cessor to Hon. George F. Edmunds
in the United States Senate upon his
retirement on the first of November.
to accept the samessI desire to express
my high appreciation of the great
honor you do me by the tender of this
the most important appointment
which the state executive of a state
can be called upon to make. 1t is
also gra tifying to be assured by you
that beside the sanction of your own
Judgment you believe that this selec-
ton meets the wishes of a large
majority of the people of Vermont
The confidence which they have here
tofore shown in me has encouraged
me in every position in public service
to which have been called. With
out their confidence should not care
to be even senator from Vermont in
the senate of the United States, a
position which has been unique by
reason OF the ability and influence of
the representatives of our state in
that body. Among them there has
been none more distinguished than
he who after service of quarter
of century has felt obliged in JUS
tice to himself and his family, to re-
lInquish his great trust. To succeed

MR.. BLAINE IN THE RA CE.

News comes from a reliable source
that Secretary Blaine will be a candi-
date for presidency should he be the
unquestionabl BILE choice of the republic
can convention. A conference of
Maine politicians, including Senators
Hale and Frye and Joe Manlev, was
held at Portland recently. Mr.. Man
ley announced that he was author
lied to say for Mr.. Blaine that he
would accept the nomination if it
were rendered him with unanimity
1t was then and there agreed to send
a Blaine delegationtot the convention,
and these results were communica ted
to a number OF Mr. Blaine's friends
in other states
The press of the country seem to
consider this reliable and the Blaine
boom has taken quite a jump. If
this is authentic it is pretty safe to
predict that Benjamin Harrison will
not be the next president. He has
made a creditable record in MANY
ways, but Blaine of Maine will have
the most friends and the most votes.
too. And his chances of election will
be much better in 1892 thin in 1884
