The GRAPHIC is authorized to an nounce Mir. (. H. TRIPLETT as can didate for reelection as Sheriff and Collector of Jefferson county, sub iect to the action of the Democratic primaries on April 2S, and lis an nouncement will be found in the reg ular column.
 MT. Triplett is well known throughout the county and needs TIC ina t' eaaettion at oui hands. Two years ago he was nominated and elected on the straight Democratic ticket, and is the first Democratic Sheriff of this county since the re- construction period. During his two years in office he has diligently and strictly enforced the laws of the commonw wealth, and his office is per haps the best conducted office Of its kind in the s Sta; tate. His efficiency, strictness and business like methods are universally recognized, and in going before the people for re-elec- tion he stands on his record. We commend his candidacy to the Dem ocratic voters of Jefferson county.

THE GRAPHIC is authorized to an nounce Hon. w. E. Sallee as a candi- date for re election as one of the Representatives from Jeffersen County in the Lower House of the General Assembly of the State, and his announcement will be found in the appropriate column. MT, Sallee made very earnest and industri- ous member of the last House. He was ever vigilant and alert to the interests of his constituency and de- voted himself with energy 10 such measures as this county was inter ested in. He was not ebstreper- ous with speech-making, but was one of the silent but nevertheless active and effective workers. , He was promptly at his desk during all the sessions of the House and energetically discharged his official duties. His past experience in legislation naturally renders him more efficient for another term, and should he be re-nominated and re elected, he will make the people of this county more efficient Repre- sentative than ever before. His candidacy is worthy of the serious consideration of the Democratic voters of the County.

4 TIME FOR G0NSER TA4ISh.
 As we stand in the departing glow of the nineteenth century soon to witness the effulgent dawn of the twentieth century, we see many changes being wrought in the so- cial, scientific, political and mate rial world.
 We seem to be living in an age of transition where all is eommotion and the world in general is in an unsettled state.
 In the domain of science the world is startled ever and anon by the announcement of some surpris- ing disco yery which causes a revolu- tion in the material and social world.
 In the religious world, also, we are witnessing the greatest excite ment and activity since the Reform ation. The Mussulman is aroused against the Christian in Armenia, the Crescent has been raised against the Cross, and we are witnessing an unholy and unrighteous religious warfare of extermination, which can only find parallel in the intol- erance and bigotry which character ized Europe during the days of the inquisition.
 There are also wars and rumors of wars between Nations, and just when our modern civilization was aattering itself into incidence and security by the consoling reflection that war belonged to a barbarous age and was 9 thing of the past, Nations fly at each others throats and we have grim visaged war in all of it's hideous aspects.
 In the political world, at home and abroad, we see the greatest commotion and unrest. Never were there sharper or severer di- visions or factions in which erimina- tions and recriminations were more freely and savagely indulged by the adherents of either than at the pre- sent day. It is almost inscrutable that in the enlightenment of this boasted nineteenth century civiliza- tion, with all of cur education and intelligence, and liberal and demo- cratic tendencies, that there should be such political and religious intolerance of opinion
 Therefore, in this unsettled state of public opinion, philosophy and science; when that which is before us is indefinite and the final shape of events-political, social and scien- tific-are unknown and undeveloped when the world is in such cha otic state, is it not an occasion for liberaiity of sentiment, federation of opinions of others and time for great conservatism in all things

SENApORI1L

ISENATORI1L
 EX7RA "A G4NG'E.
 Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, has rendered q distinguished public service in calling attention to the monstrous extravaganza of the United States Senate. There are ninety Senators, and, according to Senator Chandler, they have 353 employees to wait upon them at Q cost to the Government of about $482, GOO a year. That is to say each Senator, besides his salary of $5, 900 a year, must have attendance cost ing $5, 355 a year.
 According to the same authority, there are 121 clerks to committees in a body numbering only ninety persons. There are also fifty-two laborers in the employ of the Senate, but it has not yet been discovered what labor they perform. Though the Senate Chamber is guarded by Capitol police, there are fifteen pc licemen on the payroll of the Sen ate.
 All of this looks very bad. The public cannot understand how it costs over 5000 year for attend ants for each Senator. The fact is that there is q system of nepotism among the Senators-and Repre- sentatives too, for that matter which is 8 heavy expense to the tax payers. In other words, the Sena- tors are quartering their relatives and dependents upon the country at an annual expense of nearly hall million dollars to the people. It is to be hoped that Senator Ghandler's exposures will compel a I reform. And while this investiga- tion is going on in the Senate, lei some active and fearless mem- Der of inc House turn on the search light in that body.
 Altogether it costs entirely toe much in this country for legislation.

 HoN G. L. BLACKWELL, of White. vile Township, announces in this issue of the GRAPHIC as candidate for reelection as Representative ir the Lower House of the General Assembly of the State, subject te the action of the Democratic pri- -naries on April the 18th. Mir. Blackwell is one of the oldest citi- zens Of the County and needs nc introduction at our hands. He has been a true blue and lifelong Demo- crat, is prominent farmer and agrieulturist, and is thoroughly familiar with the needs of the farm ing interests in this State. He was a member of the House during it's last session, but on account of dangerous illness, which confined him to his home for some time, his usefulness was much impaired. MT. Blackwell therefore feels that he did not have an opportunity to do himself justice, and following a Nemocratic usage, he seeks a re- election with the hope and promise of doing better in the future than in the past. After his recovery during the last session of the Legis- lature, Mir, Blackwell made an earnest, honest and industrious member, and discharged his duties honestly and fearlessly.

THE FINANCIAL PL4NK,S.

THE FINANCIAL PL4NKS.
 It is interesting 10 compare the financial blanks adopted by the Re publican conventions at Des Moines and at Columbus.
 Tine Ohio Republicans declare. for "bimetallism with currency com posed of gold, silver and paper.
 The Iowa Republicans declare for bimetallism and a currency of the same kind which shall be 'sequal to the best currency of the commercial world. 5
 Both are for money that shall be sound aud and equitable. Both fail to enlighten the public in the least degree as to what answer the silver people may expect to get when they come to the St. Louis convention with an implacable de- mand for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to l.
 If there is no great de6niteness about the declarations of the Repub- lican conventions thus far there is also no difference of opinion. Just now it seems to be the purpose of the party leaders to gloss over the issue until they find how things are going atSt. Louis. No one need doubt that if they can find 8 means of continuing this policy through out the campaign they will be pleased to do so.
 Meantime the party leaders on both sides seem disposed to illus trate the truth of the French maxim that language twas made for the purpose of concealing thought. .- Chicago Record.
