No Alliances or Promises.

In his letter accepting the Democratic NOM
nation for Governor, Hon. John f. Hurst,
said;
"Should the nomination of my party he ratified
at the polls in November, / shall enter upon the
the discharge of the duties of Governor under no
committas or obligations TO any individuals what
ever and wholly free to do hat my conscience and
myJudgment shall dictate best for the public
interest.
The only possible honorable way to break
the force of the statement is to discredit the
man. The only way to discredit him is to
impeach his character for truth and veracity.
Those who will not undertake to do it and
continue 10 assert that Mr.. Hurst is German ;
man and represents Gormanism are not them
selves to be credited.

The Demand for Horses.
LII. Broekway in The Boston eIob,

Since have been in the horse business
there have been great many inventions,
such as electric cars and bicycles. which one
would think would stop the sale of horses, but
| find that my trade has increased more than
80 per cent. in the last three years, and there
have been more horses sold in Boston in the
last year than ever were sold in one year be-
fore, Why? Because the horse has been
sold more cheaply, and more have been used
for pleasure, both under the saddle and har-
ness, and for heavy draught work And,
in my opinion, good horses will be worth
twice as much in two years as they are now,
because the farmers in the West, where they
are raised, have got the idea that they would
not be worth raising,
