1t las ben said frequently that

have greatly crippled the paper. We
h.ye been pressed for money and have
bad difficulty 10 making both ends meet.
But let rs say to our friends that THE
CAUCASIAN is not going te stop. 1t is
made of different grit. We will ,ntinue
to publish the paper if We have to re-
duce it to half of its present size. The
people know that the paper is their
friend, that it cannot be b.uffed or bull
dozed, and that it is suffering now be,
ause it has advocated their. cause. We
appeal to you to rally to the support o
. the paper. Give US five thousand sub
scribers and We will continue it at th'
present size, if it does not have lint
of advertising. We will fill it chocl
full Of reading matter. We believe III
people will do this and that The CAucA
SIAN will live to prtach the funeral G

We understand that We have bee
criticised for our reference to the ac.io
of this town towards The CAUCAsIAl
Some have said that we were ungratefu
that we did not appreciate what the to W

that q newspaper could for a town Il

ment of our readers. We have used {
20 efforts to keep down any feeling betwt
-" the town and the country, and if tn
is any feeling of the kind existing tt I
it is caused by the action of the town,
rather the people i'll it. THE eau

s.erenson - q campa,rner.

The activity aud ability shown by
General Stevenson thus far in the cam
paign demonstrates that he is one of the
most effective campaigners in the
country, and for that reason a vice presi-
Dental candidate who brings to the
ticket an unusual degree Of assistance.
Not only are his political utterances
judicious and effective campaign aigu-
ments in which the Republican press
practically confesses itself unable to dis
cover flaws, but he possesses that happy
faculty of pleasing audiences wherever
he speaks and impressing the people
with his genial, hearty nature.
A thoroughgoing partisan and an un-
compromising Democrat, the candidate
for vice president is above all whole
souled, frank and good naturel citizen,
the warmth Of whose nature and affa-
bility Of whose manner combine to make
him popular with the people. It rarely
happens that man can say as much
and talk as constantly as General Steven
son does without making mistakes which
can be used against him, but the tall
statesman from Illinois has shown him
self to be the master Of tact as we'll as
Of oratory.--Omaha World-Herald.

"I'he election in Maine and Vermont

Democratic welcome reciprocity wher
ever II removes any needless restrictions
upon commerce. They denounce Nc.
Kinley reciprocity because while keep
ing the word Of promise to the ear it
breaks II to the hope; because it is with
countries with which we have little
trade; because it lowers prices for
foreigners only and not for our own peo-
pie; because its main purpose is to dis.
tract attention from the exactions of a
robber tariff. The whole increase Of our
trade to the Latin American countries
under reciprocity, even IL the goods had
cost u nothing, would pay the duty on

WORDS OF CHEER.

The Democratic National Com
mittee has sent out this address:
To the People Of the United States:
The Democratic National Com
mittee congratulates the country on
the result OF the recent State election
in Maine, Vermont and Arkansas.
In Arkansas the combined opposit-
ion after so many extravagant claims
fell short by over 10000 of the vote Of
the Democracy alone. This has
brought dismay to the combination in
the South and to its manipulators in the
North.
In Maine and Vermont the con-
test was conducted distinctly on nat
ional issues.
The Republican managers appealed
for votes in those States on the
ground that "tte size of the pluralities
would exert a great moral influence on
the campaign in other States," and
that the poll would be practically
our vote for President" Similar appeals
summoned to their aid all the: potent
resources Of their national organiza-
zion, with its. s.exhaustless treasury and
It's splendid equipment of orators of
national fame.
With every favoring force at their
command, except public opinion,
with no organizations opposed. save
those made up within the States by
minority party which has been out of
power for a generation, and which was
unaided from without, the campaign
of our adversaries for a triumphant
test vote in these States, so carefully
planned and so thoroughly and for
cibly executed, has ended in con-
spicuous disaster.
Our friends everywhere are entitled
to take fresh courage from these re-
suits.
They mean that the strong tendency
of public sentiment is with the demo-
cracy, and that the people OF the
country are prepared to enforce,
rather than reverse, the verdict which
they rendered in 1890.

mittee.

The National Battle.

The finger board State contests are
now over. and there will be no further
danger-signal to either party from
local elections until the great national
battle shall be fought in November.
The September elections have all
been disappointing to the friends of
Harrison. While they are not all de-
cisive, it is conceded that they have
given fresh inspiration and increased
confidence to the Democrats and like
depression to the Republicans.
Arkansas not only proved her de-
votion 10 the party and Cleveland by
electing the Democratic ticket by a
large majority over the combined
opposition vote, but her verdict has
greatly steadied North Carolina,
Alabama and Virginia, and Mr.
Halstead in his view of the situation
for the New York, London and Paris
Herald frankly comedies the solid
South to Cleveland. West Virginia
is admittedly debatable, but it is like
ly to go either way with the tide and
thus not be factor in the contest.
The falling off Of fully one third
the Republican majority in Vermont
and Maine, after both sides had made
exhaustive efforts to poll their full
vote, is significant as indicating in
difference on the part of a large class
OF Republican voters. That is always
bad indication for any party on the
threshold of great national battle,
and the temper Of Vermont and
Maine is likely to be felt in all sections
of the Union.
New York is now accepted by
both sides as the storm centre of the
conflict. The party that carries New
York may not need it to elect its
candidate for President, but the party
that loses it will lose the battle.
The general situation as presented
to-day at the close of the preliminary
State elections, leaves the national
battle fairly involved in doubt, with
the odds decidedly in favor of Cleve-
lands Success Times.
