Colonel. HfERY WAlTERooN is ma
tional committeeman. anu on Wednes-
LAY he was elected by reclamation dele
gate at large from Kentucky. For sew
eral months past Colonel Watterson has
been a strenuous and o~utspoken oppo-
nent of Clcvcland's nomination. while
the sentiment of Kentucky democrats
is largely in favor of the New York
statesman. IT docs not seem to have
occurred to anybody to make war on
Colonel Watterson because everybody IN
his state does not agree with hin. The
great compliment of an election by ac-
clamation was paid to him because. in
spite Of differences Of opinion. he is the
editor of the leading party organ OF the
state and "a recognized exponent OF Ken

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The democratic convention, held in
this city Thursday, was composed of
level. headed, intelligent men who did
their work tremendously and satisfac-
torily. They selected a representative
delegation to go to Bozeman, adopted a
platform which embodied the sentiment
of the party in Cascade county upon the
questions touched and adjourned with
out "a ripple of discord. The convention
gave the country democracy six dele
gates of the fifteen. a cOmmendable o n
trast to the action of the late county
republican convention which cut off the
country with one or two.
The action of the convention in de-
claring that new primaries should be
called to select delegates to the county
convention for the nomination of candi-
dates for county offices, is in line with
the presidents, custom and unwritten
law of the democratic party. 1t may
impose some hardship upon certain To-
c~alities, but the great Importance of the
convention, and of having n composed
of delegates selected with direct refer
ence to the duties they will be called up
on to discharge, should outweigh all
minor considerations of the nature
named.
The resolutions adopted have the right
ring. No anti-silver men will 60 from

EN.REPUBLICAN DEMOCRATS.
Says the New York World of May %:

Says the New York World of May %;
Murat Halstead and the artists of Rus
sell Harrison's illustrated newspaper
have been printing an article on "The
Republican Candidates for the Demo.
cratic Presidential Nomination." with
portraits of Senator Palmer. Gov. Boies,
ex-Cov. Campbell and ex-tiov. Gray.
The point of the whole matter is in
tended 10 be that these four men, all
possible democratic standard bearers,
were once republicans. and that this
fact is somehow II reflection upon the
democratic party.
The logic of the assumption is lame in
both feet. 1t is surely to the credit
rather than to the reproach of a party or
good as to win the support of the strong
est men on the other side, and it is pre-
ciscly in that way that democracy has
become dominant in this country. where
less than a generation ago it seemed in "a
hopeless minority.
The reproach is on the other side.
What was it that converted such men as
those named from republicanism to de
mocracy: Why did Seward and Gree
lev and Charles Francis Adams and Carl
Schurz and Lyman Trumbull abandon
the party IN which they had been leaders
of the greatest influence: Why did
Charles Sumner turn upon his
old associates and opposes the party OF
which he had been so great an exponent:
Why. except that the party had betrayed
its trust. lost its high character and for
feited it's claim upon the countenancc OF
men Of brains and conscience:
And why does the infection go on
so steadily: Why are the young men
of education and conscience in Massa-
chusetts-the sons of the stanchest old
republican-the Hoars. Andrews and
Quincys and their kind. found now bat
Ting for democracy with the same in
tensity of conviction that their fathers
brought to bear in behalf of re-
publicanism: Is it for any other reason
than that democracy has become the
cause of right and conscience, and that
r~epublicanism. since the Elkinses and
Wanamakers and Quays and Harrisons
assumed the direction once held by the
Greeleys Stewards and Summers, has
some to represent reaction. intolerance
and extravaganza. force and fraud,
monopoly and class privilege:
1t is i in this way that the notable men
once republicans have been drawn into
the advocacy and leadership of democ
racy. 1t is for these reasons that the
change has been made still greater
among the people, until now the country
is democratic by nearly a million votes.

PROGRESS of democratic sentiment In
the United Kingdom has not received
more substantial recognition than that

prince of Wales three titles, repre-
senting each a portion of the kingdom.
Prince George of Wales Is ito be known
hereafter as the duke of York, the earl OF
~Tverness and baron of Killarney. The
queen has been VIGOROUSLY opposed all
her life to every concession to democratic
demands. a stubbornness inherent in her
blood and confirmed by the p%ettiness OF
the prince consort during his life. That
she should recognize each part OF the
United Kingdom equally at once in the
bestowal of royal baubles on the heir ap-
parent. once removed. is more significant
than the equally preposterous recogni'
ton of home rule sentiment contained in
the tory local government bill for Ire
land.

LIKE THE DAYS OF SLAVERY.
Col0red vagranfs Sold on the
Block ia Missouri Race
Troubles Threatened

FAYETTE, Mo-, April 24.-.This
town is again on the verge of a race
war because of a sale of vagrant
negroes which took place here yester-
day. About month ago good
deal of excitement was caused by
the sale of three vagrant negroes.
Yesterday the feeling was intensified
by public sale on block of three
men and one woman, because they
offer no visible mode Of support.
Hy Thompson, William Muller and
and John Wilkins were the men.
All are hearty negroes who were
never before arrested on any charge.
The woman was good looking
mulatto, Mary Whiteside. She was
accused of vagrancy. The colored
people were brought into the public
square at ii o'clock and great
crowd of both colors gathered. The
whites made fun of the poor victims,
and the blacks freely expressed their
displeasure at the scene which
brought to their minds the days of
actual slavery. The woman was put
up first. She brought $40 for the
sixty days work that the county
fined her. The men sold for $40,
sl2 and $l3 respectively, being
taken by reliable farmers hereabouts,
The woman will work in good
family in town. The negroes de-
clared that this must stop or that
the whites must be sold with the
negroes. The sale took place on a
block, Sheriff Crieger officiating.

Hay Famine i'm Sullivan County.

A hay famine prevails in many
parts of Sullivan county. Some of
the farmers have turned their stock
out to gnaw the bare ground. Hay
is becoming scarce and is in great
demand at Sl4 and SIC per ton at
the barn. Some of the dairies will
be in poor condition for making a
butter record this season. Cattle in
many places look like "the last run
of shad.n Cows cannot be wintered
on half a ton of hay per head In this
climate neither can Il crop be pro-
duced without labor and fertilizers.
A few cows we'll kept are worth
more than a large flock in starving
condition. This is not only un-
profitable farming but is cruelty TO
animals. "a merciful man is mercl-
ful to his beast" is as true to-day as
ever.

Murder Of Marks.
LATE AND AUTHENTIC.


Guy G. Hollon, Detective of Brad
ford county, in whose special charge
the murder case has been put, writes
District Attorney Grimm of this
county, dated April 25th, as follows;
Il have done much work both be-
fore and since the Inquest, and have
gathered enough evidence in the
case to hang twenty men. Have
got Marks overcoat, (the coat was
not on body when found covered
with blood, his horse and sleigh and
other property found in his murders
ers possession. Have found where
and how they shipped MARKS
goods, but they have months
start, and may now be in Russia.
The murderers went to New York
city, on the 21st of March. We
have men working on the case there;
have worked night and day and have
travelled many hundred miles. We
know our men. | have hopes that
you may yet have the chance to con-
vict the perpetrators of this most
dastardly murder, and that | may
yet see them stretch some good old
hemp imported for that purpose.
The search for the fugitives by my
sef and a competent force under
me, is being pushed with diligence
and if they are this side of the At
lantic they are ours"

Good Roads.

Everybody is interested in good
roads or should be, and it seems as
if a great opportunity to arouse the
public to the Importance of an i'm
proyement in the highways will be
lost, if at the Worlds Fair there be
no comprehensive road exhibit. The
present condition of country roads
is amazing when we consider the
progress of civilization in other di-
rections. Sullivan county, and for
that matter every other county in
the union, is still in the pioneer
period with roads. Uncle Sam
helps to make rivers and lakes
navigable, he helps to keep back the
waters of the Mississippi from inun-
dating the lands along its shores, he
builds great structures for cities and
does lots of other things for the
public good, why would it not lie a
good plan to ask him to help to
make better roads. We believe a
comprehensive road exhibit at the
great Exposition at Chicago would
be the most powerful factor that
could be used to bring about nation
al and state legislation for the con
struction and maintenance of good
roads.
