Macon county has ignored
Mr.. Hatch's demand for G. con-
eressionsl primary August 20 1t
is rumored that Adsir county viii
do the same thing.
1t is said by those who sre
in position to know, that SecEe-
tary Blaine's health ls remarkably
good. His boom for Presidentisl
nomination Is also in 8 very
healthy condition at the present
time.
a Joint resolution has been
fsvorsbly reported to the Senate
proposing g constitutional amend
ment changing the Presidential
term to six years, and making
President ineligible to reelection,
the first year term tc begin March
4, 1897.
1t is said that the Farmers
Alliance OF Adsir county is con-
sidersbly disturbed because ID. A.
Ely, one of the principal leaders
in the Farmers Alliance move
men. two years ago, has gone back
to his first love-the Democratic
party.
An educational campaign
like that in Ohio last year, and IN
Rhode Island this year, will win,
aud will make Democratic free
trade and other fsllacious doc
trines impossible of realization
Nothing can 30 surely promote
Republican principles and Re
publican SUCCESS as the bright sun
light of publicity.
We publish this week com
munications from Walnut and
Wilson townships recommending
candidates for the Republican
county ticket We know OF no
better plan whereby the people
may express their desires in Sc
lecting county ticket, and We
would like to see Republicans in
every part of the county freely
express themselves. The columns
of the GRAPHIC are open to all
such communications.
When Secretary Rusk went
into the Cabinet he found one of
the most important exports of the
United States-pork, practically
shut out of every desirable Eu-
ropean market. The recent re-
moval of the restrictions placed
by the government of Spain on
the importation of American pork
leayes only one or two insignifi-
cant countries, from trade stand
point, in Europe which do not
gladly take all of the American
pork we wish to send them. To
Messrs Rusk and Blaine, more
than to all other men, belong the
credit of opening the European
markets to american pork.
The good citizens, OF Sper-
ry, are following up their clew to
the Identification of the White
Caps of that neighborhood witt
commandable energy and perse-
verance. But there is one feature
brought out so far, that is to be
especially regretted. 1t seems
that Some young fellows were
thoughtlessly persuaded to take
part In the affair without stopping
to consider the enormity of the
offence they were committing. 1t
seems unjust that they should
suffer equally with those who
were the leaders in high-handed
outrage. But the only way out of
the difficulty for these young fel.
lows is to turn States evidence,
and by thus assisting to bring the
older and really guilty persons to
justice, escape term of service in
the penitentiary.
The oft repeated story
about the Billion-dollar Congress
has been generally accepted, yet
one little fact will illustrate how
the people have been misled about
this as they have in other things.
In order to ssye a large sum in
interest, the Secretary of the
Treasury paid out in the fiscal
year 1891, over S125,000,000 for
the reduction of the public debt. |
