In letter cancelling her last Sundays

Mrs Lease said, q am physically wrecked

The real reason she will not speak in
the Kansas campaign is however, be-
cause she is regarded as bad campaign

administration and her recent action in
defending DR.. McCasey, who is not de-

Washington Notes.

Thursday, the Democrats were loud in
their assertions that all differences over
the tariff bill have been satisfactorily set
tied, and its passage made certain. In the
New York stock market, sugar stocks went
above par that day. What relation these
two statements have to each ether, people
who have followed the developments Of
the fight among the democrats OF the Sen
ate over the Wilson bill, have had oppor-
tunity to Judge. That New York stock
jobbers are fully advised as to the situation,
may be judged from a financial dispatch
from that city that evening.
''The tariff schedule is no longer entitled
to the distinction of an unknown quantity,
as it is understood by those most interest
ed that the tax on sugar is to be the CHIEF
source of revenue, assisted by the various
provisions of the income tax. From pres
ent indications the Senate must adopt both
these provisions, or neither"
Without the Sugar Trust the Wilson bill
can not be passed. The Sugar Trust has
had its way, and the bill is to go through.
And this is the price the people must pay
for the Sugar Trusts aid: Forty per cent.
ad valorem on both raw and refined, with
18th of a cent per pound specific ON rein
ed, and1-l0th of cent additional on all
refined imported from coun tries granting
bounties to sugar manufacturers, as is
done in Germany and France. With the
exception of the 1-10th additional, which
has been wrung from the Democrats in
tn, ir extremity.
Friday in the Senate was spent in bluff
ing, compromise was not reached, and
there was no telling when vote would
be reached.
In the House, that night Pickler of S. c.
and Talbert of S. d. had hot discussion
on pension question.

The County Ticket.

The ticket nominated by the Republi-
cans of this County at the primaries held
last Saturday is regarded as one of the
best ever presented to the people of the
County.
In presenting the Hon. Thomas W. Phil
lips for denomination for Congress in this
district our Republicans did no more than
was their duty towards good Republican
and a good man, known tor his liberal ma
ture and gifts to all charitable objects and
purposes. He should received unan-
i'm GUS nomination at the district conven-
tion.
James N. Moore, Esq. who has been
presented as one of the Candidates for the
Assembly, is a young man of fair ability
and good character. He was born and
raised in Worth township this County, has
been an active worker in the party and IS
deserving of the flatteri n vote he receiv
ed at the PRIMARIES. He will make a use
full and careful law maker and we have no
doubt will reflect credit upon himself as
well as upon the people of the county.
Hon. David B. Douthett, who has been
renominated as the other member, was one
Of the most active m embers of the last
Legislature, and from this fact the people
of the county determined to return him to
that body. He is an intelligent man and
of good charae ter in all respects. The in
terest he takes in public affairs and ques-
tions is guarantee to the people of the
County of his future usefulness to them.
He deserved the endorsement he has re-
ceived.
Mr.. Henry w. Nicholas, who h as been
nominated for the effice of Jury Commits
sioner, is man of good character and one
widely known to the people of the County.
A knowledge OF the psople is one OF the
requisites for an eficie Mt Jury Commits
sioner and in this Mr.. Nicholas will be
found to be the right man in the right
place.
Dr.J.C. Barr, J. NJ. Mccullough and J, S,
Campbell Esq. who were chosen to repre- :
sent the county in the coming State Con.
vention, are all safe and good men, who
will honestly represent our Republican
people in that Convention.
