Only One Democratic Ticket.

Any person having the slightest
regard for the primary methods and
conventionalities of politics and who
believes in the will of the majority as
being the only fair way to settle all
points and questions at issue between
the great parties, cannot but despise
and condemn the action of the so-called
Democratic Convention at Indianapolis
recently, in fcisting upon the people of
this country another Presidential ticket
ostensibly to detract votes from
Bryan and Sewall and help Mckinley.
Knowing we'll that the chances of the
election of any man they might select
was on utter impossibility and that the
proceedings of the convention were
not in accordance with the rules
which distinctly apply to oil such
gatherings, and which have endured
since our present form of government
was instituted, these men who met in
Indianapolis on the plea Ofacting in be-
half of the honest Democrats and
those who were chiefly interested in
protecting the treasury, directly repu-
dated precedent and the customs of
the founders of this glorious land and
made the wishes of the majority SUBJ
servient to that of the meager minor
ity. The so-called delegates to the
sound money convention were not
regularly chosen by the people at reg
ularly stated primaries and county and
State conventions, but went there ON
their own responsibility, aided and
abetted by the individuals, corpora
tions and combinations, whose inter-
ests is closely connected with the con-
tinuance of the gold standard. 1t
made little difference what issues were
at stake except gold; party cousidera-
tions did not for an instant enter into
or deter their determination to defeat
Bryan and the white metal; if they
supported the Democratic nominees in
the past and upheld the doctrines
which they advocated and which now
in entierty are engrafted in the plat
lOi III iuduC al SllCdSOi IL LDduS llCClc
difference, the only thing aimed at was
the election of Mckinley. The au-
thorized Democratic delegates from
every State in the Union to the Chic
ago Convention, met in regular session,
regular and orderly proceedings were
maintained, every man had the right
of free and unrestricted speech and no
bull-dozing OF wire pulling was in any
manner INDUCED in. 1t was a fair
and honest convention in every par
ticular and the nominees of that con-
vention, William Jennings Bryan, of
Nebraska, sand Arthur Sewall, of
Maine, are the only candidates for
whom any man who styles himself
Democrat can conscientiously cast his
ballot on the third of next November.

Cleveland Joins the Boilers.

Thousands of honest Democrats who
gave Mr.. Cleveland loyal support as
the nominee of the Democratic party,
will be more than sorry to learn that
he has at last made up his mind to fol-
low the Indianapolis boilers and array
himself against the regular organlza-
ton of his party. His silence would
have been golden. but his open advo-
cacy of the Independent ticket is
viewed with sorrow by many who
have been his great admirers. Mr..
Carlisle, of course, followed his chief,
and they will henceforth be known
as among the men who deserted the
regular nominees of their party.

Register! !!

Register !!

We call the attention of our Demo-
cratic friends to the great necessity of
looking after their registration. There
are many men in this county who do
not even know that there has been a
new registration ordered by the last
Republican Legislature. Every voter
must register, for this is an entirely new
registration and no one can vote this
fall unless he is newly registered. The
new registration is going to cause much
trouble and annoyance and unless un-
usual measures are taken there will be
hundreds of Democrats who will fail
to be registered. We can do nothing
for our party that will be of as much
service as looking after the Democratic
vote in the neighborhood in which we
live. Attend to the matter at once.
Get out your Democratic vote for the
next registration, which will be on the
22nd and 29rd of September. Remem-
Der these days, and see to yoar Demo
cratic voters

NAMES big majority is not quite as
big as was first reported. Later re-
turns show a considerable decrease
from the figures given in the exagger-
ated reports in the papers on Tuesday.
Just as they have tried to uuderesti-
mate the victory of the silver forces in
Arkansas, so also have they Ioverdone
themselves in regard to Vermont and
Maine. In speaking of the latter elec-
ton, Chairman Jones, of the National
Committee, said:
"When we consider that before the
Democratic National Convention was
held, the Democrats of Maine held a
convention and nominated a gold
ticket on gold platform, and that
subsequently, they met and reversed
this action, declaring for silver, and
that this was followed SO soon by an
election at which the party cast 5000
votes more than it did two years ago,
think it shows a marvellous gain for
silver. Instead, therefore, of feeling
disheartened over the result, / feel
greatly encouraged. 1t must be re-
membered that Maine is in the extreme
East, where we have never hoped for
any but the most meagre results for
silver"

Cigars Made by Machines.
New York World


A machine which bids fair to revolution
ize the cigar-making industry has been
invented at Binghampton. y. Y. Machines
are on exhibition in operation there now,
and are turning out smoothly punched and
neatly wrapped cigars at the rate Of 5000
per day for each machine. This IS about
three times as many as an expert can
roll when using moulds. The machine is
OF about the size and appearance OF a
sewing machine and is as easily operated.
The essential mechanism consists of a
metal plate, a travelling rubber belt and
TWO rubber rollers. The plate has a bev-
eled or warped surface OF varying Sec
tions. on which c!-ars of all the approved
shapes can be made by a simple adjust
ment OF a clamp.
The machine Is easily operated. A
''bunch" of tobacco is inserted between
the rollers and the travelling band. At the
same time a wrapper Is fed upon the pla e
and automatically guided around the
bunch. The "tucking' and "pasting'' are
done while the next cigar is being rolled,
so that two cigars are in process OF manu-
facture at the same time. II is estimated
that all shapes and qualities Of cigars can
be made al a labor cost of 30 cents per
thousand. At present some cisar-makers
get for hand work as much as $50 per
thousand
