1t was thought best to have the
Editorial Association earlier in the
season next year on account of the
big campaign, as all the newspaper
men will want to be at home about
this time whacking it to each other,
so it was decided to hold it the first
Wednesday IN May, unless the
Executive Committee should change
the time to keep it from conflicting
with any of the big conventions.

have at hand neat pamphlet, con-
tanning tho speech of Mr.. Edward
S. Elliott, before the Soldiers Re-
union at Kingwood, "the boy orator
with the waxed moustache." 1t is
a very ingenious Grafton, because
the Yankee ingenuity of his name
is used to inject two familiar ex-
tracts from Col. Robert Ingersolls
famous reunion speech. 1t has been
whispered to me that he is fixing up
his fence-a neat, but small paling
fence-around the Republican nom
ination for Congress in this district.
Now the Assistant District Attorney
should not use ether peoples tools.
He should have his own Ratchet.

far better than a stolen mansion. {"
Following are the two extracts side
by side, and the reader must be the
judge as to whether there is any
similarity between the two or not.

are taken bodily from Ingersoll. II
he will steal two well known ex-
tracts how are We to judge but what
others are stolen goods also:
