FRIDAY, OCTOBER u, 1891.

For President. VIM. L. Wilson.

Mr., Wilson's address is an admir-
able second to the Presidents letter.
Mr.. Cleveland's utterances have o
directness and an earnestness, a rug
ged sincerity and a vigorous form
which arouse the enthusiasm of the
people.
Mr.. Wilson speaks with something
of the directness and force of Cleve-
land, and with an added finish and
scholarly exactness which must COM
mand the admiration even of his ene-
mics.
These two documents outline the
Democratic campaign. 1t would be
difficult TO arraign in language more
clear and concise than Mr.. Wilson
uses the Republican leaders and the
Republican party.
Though some masqueraders in our
own lines have betrayed us, the great
enemy who has thWarted us has been
the Republican party.
That bonus of one-fifth of a cent
to the Sugar Trust is an outrage we
may all admit, but the Mckinley
bonus to this same Trust was half a
cent, and that fully measures the diff
ference between these two measures.
Mr.. Wilson is the coming leader of
rejuvenated Democracy. To-day
he stands as Mr.. Cleveland has stood
since 1887, the logical leader of the
Democracy in a national contest.
The Republicans, if they are in ear
nest, if they are courageous, if they
are sincere, will nominate Mckinley
and make his bill their platform.
That leaves Mr.. Wilson the repre-
sentative of the living issue, and his
address yesterday the full and formal
of the purposes of the DEM
ocratic party.-Louisville Post.

Louisville Tobacco Market.

Sales on our market for the week
just closed, amount to 3,045 hhds.,
with receipts for the same period,
2,4S0 hhds. Sales on our market since
January LIST. amount to III, 1884 hhds.
Sales of the crop of 1893 on our market
to this date amount lit 1858 hhds.
Our market this week has been
irregular and somewhat easier on the
common and medium grades of bur-
ley leaf, no doubt the result of the re-
cent rains which extended over the
greater part Of the tobacco belt. The
line grades remained active at the
high prices which have been current
far some time prst.
The following quotations fairly rep
resent our market for hurley tobacco.
(1S93 crop.)
Trash. Ozark or damaged tobacco)
$3.50 to $3.50.
Common colory trash, $500 to $500
Medium to good colory trash, $500
to 5000.

Col. Ion B. Nall,

OF Jefferson county, is candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Com
missioner of Agriculture.
We have known Col. Nall from our
youth up. He is correct, pains-tak-
ing business man, raised on the farm,
is now editor of the Farmers Home
Journal and has been for years, and
is in touch with all agricultural in
terests. Search the State over and no
better equipped man can be found
than Col. Nall, and mark what we
say, he viii be hard to down.
1t had been rumored that our es-
teemed countyman, w. M. Bridge
forth, would be candidate, but we
have it from the sword Of mouth"
that he will not. He would have
made a strong fight, but he prefers
the honorable life of farmer to thai
OF becoming the slave of the people.
Col. Nall will in short time make
a visit to Montgomery and the othe,
counties of this Congressional district,
when our people will have an oppor-
tunity of meeting with him and OF
forming true estimate of the man.

What Congress Has Done.

1t has made all money equally tax
able.
1t has restored confidence in our
currency and finances.
1t has given to all our people the
opportunity of living cheaper and
better.
1t has shattered the protected trusts
of McKinleyism.
1t has placed the burden of taxation
upon the rich mans surplus as well
as upon every mans needs.
1t has restored the freedom of cleo
tions.
1t has placed the transactions of the
Government and its methods of ac-
counting upon business basis.
1t has recently reduced the expendi-
lures of the Government.
For one solid year it has maintained
an unrelenting fight against the trusts
and monopolies which protection had
created.
cit has fought the good fight, it has
finished the course, it has kept the
faith"

Just as We Expected.

Judge w. Beckner, Democratic can
dldate for Congress in this district for
the short term, and John L. Bosley,
Republican candidate, met at West
Liberty last Monday.
Judge Bcckner made strong argu-
mentative speech, which was well re-
ceived, which was followed by Mr..
Bosey, who INDUCED in personalities
and for which he was beautifully
roasted. Republicans must stick to
their text, rObber tariff force bill,
trusts and combines. Theirs is war
of the interests of the few against the
many, and personal vituperations viii
not divert attention from the issue
Judge Beckner is a strong man, a good
speaker, and Mr.. Bosley is dealing
with buzz-saw when he attacks
him. Beckner for the short term and
Kendall for the long term will receive
a majority each over their Republican
opponents of 5000 votes.

w. G, p. Breckenridge says he
will support the nominee of his
party. Very well, if his influence
is as small in the Ashland district
as it is at Washington, 1t will be
of little weight and would be a mat
ter of only one vote whether he did
or not. If Owens, Settle and Brock
inridge are good Democrats (and
they are so 'accepted) and Brock
inridge can vote for them and they
cannot vote for him, there is some
thing radically wrong in the life
and character Of Breckinridge.
Kentucky surely does not want a
man for Congress with a character
as black and begrimed as Brock
inridge would have the people be-
lieve his to be. .

Stock and Crop.


d. L. Smith sold to J (. ID. Reid Z
head of feeders, good ones, at 81 cents,
average 1850 pounds.
George Denton bought of b. p.
Jefl'ries nice lot OF feeders, 10 head,
at 81 cents that averaged 1893 pounds.
VIM. Bush shipped for Goldsmith
on Thursday nine car loads (15l) Of
cattle, bought in, the county at At
cents. Average, 1900 pounds,
Now that the fat cattle are being
thinned out, the demand for feeders is
becoming quite brisk and buyers are
showing disposition to pay fair
price for good stock.
VIM. Bush bought (for Goldsmith)
of w. L. Hampton, of Clark county,
on Thursday, 40 head of shippers; 40
head at Al cents, balance at At. An
extra lot, Average, 1900 pounds.
John Mcdonald sold through the
Bodmen warehouse, of Cincinnati,
Clayton Howell, agent, his large crop
of tobacco so as to net him 81 cents all
round at home. The best offer DIR.
Mcdonald had been able to secure for
this tobacco was s cents for the two
higher grades and 4 cents for the in
ferior grades. Mr.. Howell is in the
market with money and will make
liberal advancements on the coming
crop. Mr.. Howell will give his per-
sonal attention to all crops sent to his
house through him, and as he has
never failed yet to make money for
those who entrusted their interests TO
him, suppose you investigate what he
can do for you.

DR.. L. P. V. Williams, of More
head, is candidate for Railroad
Commissioner, subject to the action
of the Democratic party. We are
personally acquainted with DR. =.
Williams, and it is with pleasure
we commend his, claims to his
party. Born of Democratic par
ents, careful student of policies,
he is simon pure, honest, indus
trious and ambitious. He is just
the kind of man for the position
to which he aspires. Already, be-
fore even the calling of a conven-
ton, he is being attacked by the
Republicans, which is evidence
that he is strong man, and that
they would prefer another. DR..
Williams informs us that he is in
the race to the finish, and should
he become the standard bearer of
his party the Republican candi
date, it matters not who he may
be, will be far away from the
plum.

Reed, Mckinley and Harrison
these three each of them want to be
the Republican nominee for the Presi-
dency, and there will be a hard
fought battle between them. They
would like to say they are for the peo-
pies interests, but the trusts and COM
bines are their friends, and the people
will not be deceived.

The Business Outlook.

From different sections comes the
good news OF revival in business
North and South, East and West, the
outlook has wonderfully Frightened
within the last few days. The start
ing up of manufacturing and mer-
chanting is now apparent on every
hand and permanent revival of
confidence is evidently on rs. The
railroads are showing an increase in
earnings and stocks are steadying as
a consequence. A dispatch from Bir-
mingham states that an industrial
revival of the mostpronounced proper
tions has struck Alabama since the
passage of the Tariff Bill and the
settlement of the miners strike. Fur
naces that have been idle for a year
are being "blown in" and the iron
trade is reviving. More coal is being
mined in the Birmingham district
than at any time during the past
twelve months. Reports from other
business centers show substantial i'm
provement during the past week.
Merchants and manufactures are with
drawing more money for increasing
operations. Grain is moving freely.
Imports have increased. Textile
manufactures report more orders.
The outlook is for brisk trade among
iron men. More commercial paper is
offered at the banks. In nearly every
respect the prospect is encouraging.

Mr.. Albert Hoffman received a
handsome gold-enameled medal

a handsome gold fountain pen.

| Hon. o. @. Bowles, OF Pike coun-
ty, has seen fit to surrender the
lifelong principles he has profess
ed and go over to the Republican
party We arc not inclined to
question the sincerity of the
change. We have seen no state
ment from the gentleman, but are
informed he was led to the step by
the " insincerity and half-hearted-
ness Of the Democrats in Congress
in fulfilling the pledges made to the
people"
1t is very true that the late
struggle in Congress for tariff re-
form resulted in little better than
drawn battle so far as the Demo-
Gratis are concerned. This, too, in
the face of the fact that we had a
majority in both Houses, and ali
Administration all pledged to bring
about radical reforms in the tariff.
A few traitors allied themselves
with the enemy and boldly and
blatantly stood across the path of
all progress. 1t was the misfor-
tune of the party to be sold QUIT by
these men, But it no more follows
that the Democratic party is re-
sponsible for the traitorous actions
of German, Brice d Co., than it
does that Thomas Jefferson should
be held responsible for Aaron
Burr's reasonable designs. ~ This
only becomes the time when Demo
Gratis should the more closely and
stand together.
Thirty years ago when the boys
were facing one another in a
struggle, and upon waking
in the morning the news would
spread over the camp that some
traitor had deserted to the enemy,
such only served to draw the ranks
closer together and to give to the
men more iron resolve to be truer
than ever to their colors. All good
Democrats, who stop TO think, will
feel as the boys did in those ugly |
lays of '64. They will recognize
hat instead of deserving the party |
TO whose principles We have given
our adherence, it only becomes the
more plainly our duty to stand by |
hem. The party has not accom-
1lished all it desired or was pledg-
I'd to do, but it is only because
some of its pretended friends and
ldherents in the Senate found |
means to defeat the will Of the peO-
Die while they lined their pockets
With the money of the protected
Industrial concerns. The fact that
he power of the trusts is sufficient
o purchase enough members in
ither House to defeat the will of
he people, should be cause for the
most serious alarm and serve to
make all Democrats only the more
determined to keep up the fight till
hese powerful enemies of the pub
ic will shall be brought to prop
+ understanding of their rightful
lace in the Ongoings of the re-
'ublic.
