question over which a great furore
was made during President Cieve-
lands first term, when he ordered the
return of Confederate flags captured
during the war of the rebellion.
That was about a dozen years ago.
and northern sentiment was not pre-
pared to coincide with the Presidents
views as signihed by his order and
great storm of indignant protest swept
over the land, impelling him to revoke
the order The South was Democratic
and he, n northern Democrat, had
been elected President, and he took the
view that old asperities had been
buried completely enough to justify
and render appropriate the maEnani-
nous act OF returning to the former
Confederates the colors that had been
taken from them by Union forces dur
ing the strife. But he was ahead OF his
time.
1t Is being urged now, however. that
the cordiallty of feeling between the
sections formerly at war, which Is so
strong and is being attested In so many
ways, makes undoubtedly appropriate
the return Of the flags. But upon this
point II is sufficient to say that re-
quest for the return of the flags is n
reason for not returning them. II n
state of harmony exists which makes
their return appropriate, 1t also makes
appropriate their remaining where they
are. There are some people VINO
haven't sense enough TO see that they
are disturbing harmony by their mis-
guided efforts to promote it, and the
agitators OF this question of returning
rebel flags belong to this class.

DECORATION DAY.

Our honored dead lie slunberinR here,
Free from all worldly strife;
Only waiting til God shall come
And give them all new life.
Cover their graves with gariands fair,
With reverence try to pay,
Floral ofrerdlngs from loving hearts,
On Decoration Day.
For who would not so gladly go
To where their loved ones rest,
And flowers of affection bring
To scatter DER their breastf
Our dear ones may be laid to rest
In places far away;
VIII some kind friend give them flower
On Decoration Day.
IT'S but feeble way to show
Our love so pure and deep
For lov'd ones who have passed away,
Who now have gone to sleep;
They too have pas ed thro' earthly woes,
30 now tribute pay,
To brighten the city of our Dead
Oh Decoration Day'
Those who die In the Lord Jesus,
Know their reward In sure,
IT'S but little while to walt
Let's patiently endure.

Where once we used to play,
How great, how grand, wen have no use

The County Democratic Conven
lion which assembled in the court
house at this place last Monday was
truly representative body and was
COMPOSED of some of the best
material of the county. There was
an absence of all effort at wire pulling
and slate making.
There was disposition exhibited
by some members OF the convention
to take from the people the right TO
choose their Magistrates by popular
vote and have them appointed
through a recommendation by the
Executive Committee. A resolution
to this effect was introduced by Mr..
W. McCartha. a delegate from
Rishtop, and was the occasion OF a
considerable discussion. In defense
of his resolution, he claimed that the
Magistrates, or at least some of them,
were not doing their duty in the
prosecution of the violators of the
dispensary law and seemed to think
that where an officer depended upon
popular vote for his election he was
greatly Influenced by local opinion
and his official acts were done with a
view of making himself popular with
his constituents.
DR.. Crosson opposed the resolution
in timely and well chosen words
W. B. Seay thought the lowest IS
we'll as the highest officer should be
elected by the people.
The resolution was rejected.
Another matter which occasloned
lengthy and at times an animated
debate, was the proposition sent up
by the Boylston club, to have the
township commissioners suggested
by townships in the primary election
for appointm ent by the Governor.
MI. J. W. Dreher thought it best
to leave the appointment as now, as 1T
might greatly interfere and embar,
rass the Supervisor in his work if a
board was elected which did not
sympathize with him and were not in
accord with his plans, besides be did
not believe in so much scramble for
offices.
This resolution was vigorously
fought and was killed.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced itincura-
bic. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts

surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and

10 my opinion the income tax will
play no small part in the coming
campaign. l am heartily in favor ct
such tax for by such a system q
national taxatior, the burdens CT tax
alton will rest as well upon the vast
corporate powers Of wealth as lp'n
the man who labors for his daily
bread.
Ibelieve Congress should repeal
the 10 per cent. on State banks, and
in this way establish the old Demo
cratic form of State banks that VIC
may have an elastic currency, con
tracing and expanding in unison
with the volume of trade and bust
ness interests Of the producers as
WILL as the consumers, thus allowing
loans at easy rates of interest during
those seasons Of the year when those
who till the soil most need financial
relief. In this way we can have re
lief at home without bowing down
to the great money centres Of the
world.
In conclusion, as the question has
been often asked me, I will say that
I am not faction candidate. 1t has
always been my policy TO support
those men regardless of faction w'o
I believe most honest and capable Of
filing positions Of trust and honor
l did this conscientiously always
having in view the welfare of the
entire people If I am to be elected
simply because 1 may belong to one
or another faction, I say plainly that
I would rather remain in private lie
for if that is all that can commend
me to the people of the Seventh Dis
trict, I deserve to remain as [ am, a
private citizen. The candidate for
this high office who cannot stand
upon his merits as man, but de-
pends for success upon factional ami,
mosities and intrieues of scheming
politicians is neither 4 statesman mol
a patriot and deserves the contempt
of an honest people. [ shall know
or recognize no faction but shall try
TO make an honest, brave, bold fight
declaring from every stump the eter
nal truths of Democracy as [ under
stand them in the interest of an hon
est hearted, God fearing and unitec
people.
Yours sincerely,

Haverhill. Sept. 24-With the ex-
ception of a half hour, this city saw no
demonstrations last night by sympathi-
zers of the street railway men, such as
was the rule earlier in the week The
break was when Thomas Wiseman, aged
10. threw stone at a car and broke a
window. He was arrested by a special
officer, but as the signal box would not
work the officer was obliged to walk the
prisoner to the police station. He was
followed by a crowd which was aug.
mented at every block. Wiseman tried
to break from the officer, and even grap-
pied with him, and In the miniature
riot, participated in by the crowd, James
Wiseman. brother of the prisoner.
was arrested for Interference. The
special officer was reinforced by this
time. and all the officers. for the first
time during the week, drew their clubs.
Some cars I'm the suburbs were re-
ported stalled. but no one was hurt and
little damage was done. A few tor
pedoes placed on the track completed the
work Of the hoodlum element during the
night. Cars were run on full schedule
time for the first time this week The
company will maintain its track patrol
for a week longer and will ask that the
extra police force be continued tonight.
