For the wine and women shib-
 boleth,
 Don't work in old Kentuck.
 The republican meeting last night was the largest that has ever taken place in this county for preliminary work. It was an old-time gather ing, and old-time interest was man. | ifested.
 Breckenridge and Mrs. Hartley would make a good running team. One has been condemned by the courts while the other has been set down on by the people.
 Like a sick dog eating it own vomit, the merchants license tax, passed two years ago by demo cratic legislature, is asked to be repealed in the democratic plat. form.
 An exchange says that in making a democrat and a populist fuse Is like sticking a red-hot poker into a bucket of ice water.
 NIT. Herndon still fingers in town. Isn't it about time, John, you were getting that big dose of medicine ready for Murphyi Don't weaken, Doctor.
 Democrats seem to be h-l bent on making people resign. They tried it on Brice, but it wouldn't go, and they picked out poor old Mark Smith as a sure thing.
 Why don't the democrats trot out their old rooster to crow for the administration on the Geronimo and post removal propositions in Arl- zona. They are as silent as free wool sheep.
 The platform on which J. C.. Herndon is to make his fight for delegate. has personal abuse of Gov ernor Murphy so deeply imbedded in it that if it is followed out a guerilla warfare may be expected.
 Will the different industries ol the country ever let go in their cry against the tariff. Nebraska beet sugar men say they are ruined. The only quet commodity seems to be straight sugar with a stick in it,
 The democratic orators will have very fine and sweet-scented time in their campaign arguments in trying to convince voters into the same belief that their abortive plat form is noted for.
 Since his defeat Colonel BreckeE- ridge has said that he will visit England. An exchange says that 1t would be the proper thing for a band to see him of, playing God save the Queen"
 Colonel Wilson's speech in nom:- hating Herndon is said to have been a rambling and voluminous argument. We'll, the Colonel is noted for never undertaking any suls- ject, as far as language is con cerned.
 You have all heard the story of the defendant in a criminal case be- ing allowed to whisper word in the ear of the jury. Since the pres ent campaign opened it has leaked out that he said, "Missourians must stand together"
 Hoke Smith must chuckle to himself as he reads of the great number of G. A. R. veterans who are passing away. Will he claim the credit, when the last pension book is closed, that it is due to his reform methods, not to mention his hostile conduct to these worthy pee pie.
 The democrats are wasting time in preaching cheap prices to tie people. The people know that prices are a little cheaper upon a few article-diamonds, for instance and that the cheapest commodity of all is human labor, and it is just that knowledge that makes the downfall of democracy certain.
 Judge Hawkins, in recent letter to his wife from New York, says he has seen Bucky O'Neill, and the latter informed him that he would return to Arizona immediately and make the fur fly in the political arena. There is no doubt about the fur question, but what interests us is the 'sack" proposition.
 It has come to the surface that Wilson, the free trader, is big cat tie man. and that every hoof he owns ranges in Mexico. Thus it is plain to see that even this demo- cratic deity has his hands also in the free trade pie just like his sugar brethren, and that he wants free cattle worse than anybody else in democracy.
 Herndon implored his hearers in Phenix to not support him, but 10 stand by democratic principle.
