JUDGE 1ST DISTRICT.
J. S. HICKMAN.
JUDGE SECOND DISTRICT
DANIEL FUTILE.
The trial of Debs has been
postponed to September 5.
The glue manuf acturers havs
formed a trust. They ought to be
able to stick together.
The respectable striker is
the one who strikes for a job and
when he gets it stays with it.
The Democratic administra-
ton, drouth and strikes are hard
on the country, but the Democratic
administration is the greatest evil
we have to contend with.
We still have faith that rain
will come in time to save the corn
crop. The rain business is one
thing that is not in the hands of
the Democratic party, hence our
faith.
Hon. r. p. Giles, Hatch's S
opponent, was in kirksville two
or three days this week. He was
not here to repair his old fences,
but to put up new ones. He eX-
poets to fence in Mr.. Hatch's entire
pasture.
Marion county has meet
ing of her representative men, and
they resolved that they had mad
enough of Hatch. They have been
long time reaching that conclu-
sion in Marion county, but better
late than never.
"A. n. Seaber will be a
candidate for Senator before the
Senatorial convention. Mr.. Sea-
Der will have the unanimous sup
port of Adai, county, and if nomi-
mated will make a canvass that
will carry light into the dark
places. A man better qualified
for the place cannot be found in
the district.
Now that the great railway
strike is practically at an end, and
law and order is more or less re-
stored, the time for removing
causes and carrying out remedies
has come. The situation gives
equal opportunities to both capi
tai and labor, for both in this in
stance have lots to learn and a
great deal it would be wise not to
forget. All such troubles as that
through which we have recently
passed serve a good purpose in
arousing public interest on the is
sues involved. 1t will be so in
this case, and many grave ques-
tions long neglected will become a
theme of discussion and reform. A
thunder storm purifies the atmos-
phere and results in larger sup
ply of healthgiving ozone, and
after all social upheavals an era of
reforms is an unfailing conse
quence. The process may be re-
GREETED, but the final output is per
hapS worth its cost.
The Unionville Republican
SAYS that one would infer from the
GRAPHIC that Putnam county had
not always been true to the Repub-
lican party. The Republican is
right. That is the very idea the
GRAPHIC intended to convey, and
we are glad that it was made so
plain that the Republican did not
have TO read between the lines to
get the meaning. Eight years ago
Putnam county had an opportuni-
ty to do the Republican party great
good, and had that opportunity
been utilized it would have been a
dea h below to Democracy in the
first congressional district. In
stead of utilizing that opportunity
the political leaders permitted 700
of their 1000 majority to be east for
the Democratic candidate. We do
not doubt that Putoam county has
given Republican majority for
congress slice 1860; but what we
want of Putram cou ty is to give
that majority when it will do some
good. Eight years ago Putuam's
boasted 1000 majority would have
placed a Republican in the chair of
