MR. CLEVELAND GONE BACK TO
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
/ notice in the Democratic papers
that Mr.. Cleveland has refused to reg
lister and vote for the Democratic State
ticket in his native State, New York.
Let him go back to the Republican
party where he belongs; for 1 believe
that out of it he was taken and into it
he has returned again. His friends
pretend he has changed his resi-
dence, but he does not. Wall street
advances on two legs; the Democratic
and Republican parties. One year it
puts forward it's Democratic leg, and
another its Republican leg, but all the
while the monster itself is advancing
on it's path of destruction. Ransom and
his tools and dupes in North Carolina
constitute one of the monsters toes.

that science has been able to cure in all its

Cure is the only positive cure now known to

the foundation Of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building " the constitution

almost within stones throw of each
other. between Valley Park and Manches-
ter, Mo-, about O'Clock yesterday alter
noon.
The lynching took place about dawn
this morning. A mob composed of the
farmers of the vicinity, gathered rapidly
last night, but it was after midnight te-
fore leader was found who could marshal
the forces at hand into shape. Then the
mob marched across the country to Man
chester, where the negro Law in Jail await
ing removal to the county Jail ut Clayton.
Arriving at the Jail there was little time
wasted in getting the prisoner away from

Firmly bound, with a rope about his
neck, and with three hundred shotguns
and revOlvers ready to empty their con-
tents into his body. the march was again
taken up. Back TO Valley Park. the scene
OF his crime. he was Carried, or, rather,
dragged, and there, upon u tree overhang-
ing the scene OF his crime. he was pulled
from the ground with jerk that all but
broke his neck. He was TO die by strangu
la,ion. For nearly twenty minutes the
mob watched his writings as he slowly
choked to death. At last the body be-
came still. Then, with the unanimity of
platoon of regulars, voliey was fired
which filled the dangling corpse with lead.
Both the Injured women are in dau-
gerous condition, and Miss Harrison may
not recover.
