j. Fl. Petty announces himself as a
candidate for the Legislature at the
fall election. Mr.. Petty's long resi-.
dence in Canton has made him generally
known to our people. He possesses
no mean order of talent as has heen
evidenced by his published articles in
the TINES and has the ability to make
a good representative.
r. w. Stewart, from the Madison
neighborhood, comes before the people
this week as candidate for the Legis-
lature. Mr. Stewart has been a mag
istrate and should be conversant with
the law and it's defects, and being a
farmer, should know the needs of the
people. These accessories, added to
the force OF character and mental ca
pacity he possesses. should make him
an acceptable candidate and able leg
islator. His friends say both his woof,
and warp is all wool and full width
and that he is as true as steel.
Messrs. G.. W. Covington & Co., have
recently added to their stable very
handsome Kentucky saddle and har-
ness stallion, ENBOYD. He will be 6
years old next spring, l5% hands high,
dark chestnut sorrel, star in forehead,
heavy name and tail good bone, very
stylish. and splendid comhina 5ion
horse, fine breeder and subject to
registration. ENBOYD's breeding is of
the best, his pedigree is unexceptional.
A visit to their stable and personal
inspection of this great acquisition to
the county will well repay anyone in
terested in improving their stock.
Mountain Slasher being dead and
Tramp Denmark sold, ENBOYD was
purchased to replace them, and we say
without fear of contradiction. that he
will in every respect, equal, if not
excel those we'll known sires. A
AS will be seen by reference to our
column, Hon. A. P. Hill,
the able and efficient mayor of Canton.
floats his banner upon the breeze as a
candidate for district attorney. Mr.
Hill has been for about twelve success
sive years mayor of Canton, and has
had fine school of practical expert
ense in criminal Jurisprudence. He is
a lawyer of acknowledged ability and
is conceded by the Canton bar to be
fine Judge of law, and we believe has
never had one of his decisions reversed.
He is son of the late A. P. Hill, one
of the ablest lawyers of our bar, and
nephew of the noted confederate gen
eral D. H.. Hill, and grand son of
Jefferson Love, one of Madison's most
honored and influential ante e-bellum
citizens. He has all the elements in
him for an acceptable and competent
officer, and we bespeak for him IA
reception and support from the
voters of this district,

THE INCOME TAX MIDDLE.
Everybody an at Sea over the Demo.
CRITIC NIonstrnsIfY

Everybody All at Sea over the Demo-
cratic Monstroslty.
The action of the United States su.
preme court on the income tax ques-
tion promises to create no end Of
a muddle. Collectors and taxpayers
alike seem to be all at sea, not know
ing just what is to be done or is ex.
pccted under the law as now inter.
prcted. The law certainly fails to
meet one of the principal objects of
itspopulistic trainers, for, in the words
of Chauncey NJ. Depew, it "exempts
the man vino collects rent and taxes
the man who pays rent" In other
particulars it is paradox and fraud.
The objections to it are very forcibly
put by Hon. j. Edward Simmons,
president of the Fourth national bank
of New York and lifelong and prom.
inent democrat. In an interview with
Mail and Express reporter he said:
IT Is an outrageous tax, and one 10 which 1

Effects of Democrats Rule in the Large

Effects of Democrats Rule in the Large
cities.
The fact that the large cities of the
country, most of which have heretofore
been democratic, are becoming repub-
lican one after another is interesting
and significant 1t will not do to say
that these striking changes are acci-
dental, or attribute to different local
causes. They all have the same mean
ing, manitestly, and are TO beregarded
from the same point of view. The fact
is well understood that the people are
aroused upon the subject OF municipal
misgovernment and the necessity Of re-
form in that respect In all the large
cities where the democratic party has
had control Of affairs, there has been
condition Of general corruption and
shameful neglect of the public inter-
ests. The bosses ard the boodlers
have taken possession of the machinery
OF government and operated it to their
own advantage, regardless of justice,
honesty and decency. Revelations of
systematic fraud and plumber on the
part of these political bandits have
opened the eyes Of intelligent and rep
utable citizens to the grave peril that
such facts involve, and they are taking
steps to improve the situation.
II is evident that the voters who are
thus resolved TO bring about better
state of things in the large cities believe
that the surest way TO accomplish their
object is to introduce republican rule.
The record of the republican party for
capacity and integrity in the manage
ment OF public business is one that
fully justifies this view. 1t has uni
formly administered su:h trusts in
successful way, carefully guarding
against the abuses that have irvarla-
bly, attended democratic rule The idea
of ignoring politics and adopting the
non-partisan method of. graduating
municipal evils Is one that has failed
as often as 1t has been tried, and the
people are not disposed to waste time
and energy in further experiments of
that kind They recognize the fact
that parties are indispensable, and
that practical and substantial results
cannot be achieved without such in
strumentalities for the assimilation
and concentration OF the forces which
carry elections and execute policies
and purposes. The democratic party
has been fully tested in this relation
and found to be a disappointment and
calamity. That is why an opportuni-
ty is now being given to the REF publican
party to redeem the large cities from
their besetting political disorders and
substitute clean and correct govern
ment for that which is extravagant,
dishonest, and in every way deplora-

There is an old crank in the

will need it to cool his coffee.
