that have the best right to speak for the
Republican party. and that voice the
true Inspirations and designs Of that
party. the tariff issue Is showing up more
obtruslvely every day. Indeed. there Is
every indication OF purpose on the part
OF many OF these papers to marshal the
Republican forces finally upon the same
old lines upon which that party has al
ways fought. However, even they
should not succeed. their animus leaves
no room for doubt as to what we might
expect should their party again get INTO
power. Let Democrats who may be as

New York JournalD


Leading editors in every county In
this State have been asked this ques-
ton:
"Will you kindly let the New York
Journal know what influence. II any.
the free silver doctrine Is having in your
neighborhood, whether IL has led or is
now leading to any assertions from the
old parties. and whether II viii affect the
vote this fall?"
From the numerous replies received.
II Is evident that the free-silver sentl-
ment largely obtains. particularly among
the farmers and the laboring classes. and
indications are that in certain localities
II Is spreading. not only among Demo
Gratis. hut Republicans. and even Prohi-
bitionists. 1t has caused many defec-
lions In the interior counties, but In
Suffolk and Queens II does not seem to
have made any susceptible impression.
In the Central and Southern tier the
division of feeling appears TO be as
nearly as equal as possible between
voting for Mckinley and protection and
for Bryan and free silver. Some editors
predict a powerful revulsion in favor OF
the latter when he makes his appearance
in the East and begins his campaign that
it IS expected will be both mastery and
picturesque.

Democrats Of Richmond, stick to your

separate from them, for, If you do, you
will not find your new associates to your
liking. 1t may possibly be well enough
for New England and New York Demo-
Gratis to talk about boiling, for they don't
know what southern Republicanism Is
but on this point we have abundant In
formation, and should beware. We have
had one or two bolts here, and each enc

sake of our brother Democrats, who are

don't let us be led off into indcpendentism

Be Careful How You Vote.

The above cannot be emphasized too
much or repeated too often to voters.
One would think that the voters would
understand the new ballot law we'll
enough by this time to know how to
vote it right, and 1 suppose most peo-
pie think they do, but let me give some
examples of mistakes made at the last
municipal election for electric light
and street paving bonds in the Third
ward. One uoter, l suppose heavy
taxpayer, thinking to come down
heavy against both propositions, wrote
the word mo" opposite both PROPOSE
fions both for and against them. Of
course, as far as his vote was con-
cerned, he might just as we'll have
staid away from the polls. Another,
thinking to come down heavy in favor
of both propositions, wrote the word
s.yes" in every space. OF course he
lost his vote. Some erased the propo-
sitions they didn't want to vote for.
One put the cross mark on the right
side of the ticket. l suppose If the
space to put his vote had been there he
would have put it some where else.
Some instead of simply making cross
mark as the law directs, would write
the word 'yes." Thus, in one way and
another. quite number of votes were
lost, and this in the Third ward, noted
for intelligence.
1t is not to be supposed that these
men went to the polls to throw their
votes away or trifle with this privilege,
but simply because: they do not give
proper heed to the instructions given
them. "Be sure you are right and
then go ahead" M. ii. III.

Your Boy Won't Live a Month.

So Mr.. Gilman Brown, of "a Mill St.,

doctors. His son had Lung trouble,
following Typhoid Malaria, and he

dollars with doctors, who finally gave
him up, saying: "Your boy won't live a
month" He tried DIR. Kings New
Discovery and a few bottles restored
him to health and enabled him to go

Dispatch.
The community has been exercised
a good deal the past week by the re.
port that Osmar Lochray, a deck hand
on the steamer Lorena, was afflicted
with smallpox. Lochray's home is at
Roxbury, small place about miles
this side of Stockport. When the Lo-
rena passed that place Sunday evening
on her return trip, Mr.. Lochray was
quite sick and was compelled to lay off.
A physician was summoned, who said
the case had strong symptoms of small
pox, but latter development has PROV
en- that the supposed case of smallpox
is nothing more or less than measles.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. NJ. Dearth, of Mari
eta, came up Friday evening and re-
mained until Saturday evening with
Mrs. Dearth's mother, Mrs. Mary
Parker.
Prof. M. R. Andrews, of Marietta,
