rare thing for a man who is smoking on

Success Is a Duty.
From the New York World.

kA1hA - ~ AoLh "oA"s
We have a plain word to say to the
Democrats of the Western States.
Their present duty is to reconcile
into one political force all the ele-
ments of opposition to the Republi-
can party in any State.
All these elements are hostile to
the robber tariff which the Republi-
can party has made
They are hostile to the oppressive
Force bill which the Republican par
ty will enact if it gets the power.
They are hostile to the grinding
rule of monopolists and plutocrats,
whose willing tool the Republican
party is.
They are hostile to the monstrous
corrupt ons which the Republican
party breeds and fosters.
1t is folly for Democrats to let
third parties be formed when that
course tends to give Republicans a
chance of getting the electoral vote
of any State or a Congressman in
any district.
The imperative duty is to accom-
plish a fusion of all the elements of
opposition to the Republican party
upon one ticket for electors and the
same candidates for Congress.
Failure to do this will convict them
of political incompetence.
Beyond doubt the vast majority
of the American people are opposed
to the Republican policy and the
Republican candidates. Political
wisdom demands that this majority
shall be massed in every State so as
to be surely effective. To break it
up is to dissipate it and defeat the
common purpose

LEE BARNES NOMINATED,
The Third Partyites of Audrain Name a
Candidate For the Legislature.

There were twenty participants in
the so-called Third Party Conven-
ton which was held in the Court
House Saturday. The meeting
was called by R. H. Cauthorn. Lee
Barnes was elected chairman of the
meeting and a man named Supple
was secretary. Several speeches were
made by gentlemen who abused the
old parties and who thought the
Third Party would be a cure for all
evils. A man named Steele took
particular pains to abuse foreigners
at the same time we judge, from his
broken remarks that he is a foreigner
himself. The names placed before
those present for the Legislature were
Lee Barnes, G. N. Wales and T. T.
Turley. MIR. Barnes was nominated,
Mr.. Turley Withdrawing, receiving
the majority of the votes present.
There were II participants in the
convention, as the vote for per-
manent chairman stood Z for Cauth-
orn and 10for Barnes. Several warm
speeches were made at the close of
the convention, noticeably one by a
young statesman by the name of
Harper from Rush Hill, who abused
the Democratic party, especially for
the election law, which requires a GER
tain number of people to take part
in a convention and to organize
a party before it can be represented
by a ticket. Lee Barnes thought it
a shame to live in such a Democrat
lc country. One or two other gen.
tlemen thought it worse than slav-
cry.
