Ar the time of this writing the
nominee Of the Democratic party fol
Congress from this district has not
been named. The present indlca
tons point, however, to the nomina-
ton Of Hon. James w. Marshall on
the first ballot. Whether this proves
true or not, it behooves the Demo
Gratis of the gallant old Ninth DIS
trict to close ranks, touch elbows.and
nresent an unbroken and unwaver-
ing front to our common Zoe
Whoever be our leader we must bear
nmind that he stands but as the
type, the representative of great liv-
ing principles, and it is for their final
triumph and vindication that we
fight more than for any other consid-
Grafton. 1t is for the reform of our
present burdcnsome tariff laws, it is
for a system of national finance, whose
basis of value shall be sound, whose
nature shall be flexible, whose .domi-
mating influence shall not proceed
from Wall Street, out Of which COM
eth naught that is good; and in
which silver shall receive proper rec
ognition as a CO ordinate element OF
value along with gold, it is Tor pre-
serving intact the autonomy and
powers and rights of the States as
afford the centralizing tendencies OF
the Federal Government; it is for
such reforms, such conditions and
principle that the Democratic party,
The true party of the people contends,
and has contended for almost q cen
tury. The republican party, made
up of classes opposed to the true in
terests of the masses, has always
stubbornly opposed these tendencies,
and to-day its very existence is a
menace to the peace, prosperity and
constitutional safety Of the country.
For the brave, the honest. the genial
jim Marshall, if he be our nominee,
the Democratic party of this Ninth
District should have none but the
warmest feeling of admiration and
good will. A Democrat, consistent
at all times, tried, aud true rs steel,
man of the people, close to the peo-
pie, and who has spent his life in
fighting for the peoples veal, he is a
proper, and ideal exponent of the
principles of a party, which is as its
name signihod, truly and essentially
Democratic.

Tho Trim American Foot.

Several London newspapers have been
entertaining their readers during the
Whitsun holidays by lively oontrover-
sy over the respective size and beauty
of the feet of English and American
women. Some editors, in the face Of
overwhelming evidence, confess that
English feet are out of running in such
q controversy and console themselves
by asserting that the feet Of Englishmen
are far more shapely than those of their
American brothers. There have been
many indignant protests against even
this admission. The shoe dealers, when
assured that they may speak incog., re-
gretfully admit that they are unable
to fit tho trim American foot with any
shoe ready made for the fat and fiat
feet of English women
