DEMOCRATS EI.ATED.

As a sequence to the result of the
election held few days since in the
Rochester district of New York the
Democrats are elated indeed they are
jubilant and are already figuring on tri-
jumps at he November elections for con-
greasmen.
The unexpected gain Of the Democrats
in the Sixth Missouri District and the
Fourteenth Massachusetts District in
which the Republican majorities were
reversed, Is encouraging, as is the cleo
ton Of Haven, who overwhelmed in de-
feat the strongest Republican in the
Rochester district. But there is much
to do and I'd Be done If the Democrats
would be successful, at least in secur-
ing the election Of Democrats in Noyem-
Der sufficient to give them the majority
IN the House Of Representatives
A Democratic success ia November, if
sufficiently sweeping. would lead to
changes IN the Senate of the United
States, and It is therefore imperative
that the Democrats shall not only cease
all pickering but shall become united as
one man ii contesting for supremacy
against the Republicans.
The opportunity Of today for Demo-
cratic triumph is manifest in the dis
pleasure and the dissatisfaction Of the
people who have been deceived by the
fesenses Of the Republicans. The
masses are apparently ready for q revolt
and viii not hesitate to strike the fatal
blow unless they should be discouraged
into inactivity by some blunder of the
Democrats. II the Democrats are wise
they win profit from the failure Of the
Republicans to keep faith with the peo-
pie and they should and must do as the
republicans, who lay aside all person.

HALE, ALDRICH AND OTHERS
It has been proclaimed that Senator
Hale Of Maine and Senator Aldrich Of
Rhode Island and ether luminaries oil
the Republican party in the United
States Senate have resolved to retire
from the activities OF politics.
Aldrich is to seek the shades and
pleasant hooks Of private life owing to
III health, and Hale of Maine desires to
enjoy the repose of ease and comfort
and probably the others are actuated by
the SAME feelings.
However, t IS pnmaterial what may
Be the reason, the retiTement of these
men should be hailed with satisfaction
BY all classes of the people, excepting
perhaps the Republicans of their respec-
tive States.
For years, indeed since the founda-
ton of the. government, except when
confronted and overwhelmed by a unit
ed Democracy, the influence of the New
England States has dominated the poli-
cies Of the Nation, particularly in its
application to the tariff and the protec-
tion of special industries of which the
Aidriches have been the benefciaries.
It may be true that Republicans will
be returned TO fill the seats of these
stalwarts. but there would be some sat
isfaction iii the realization that the men
who are responsible for the iniquities
Of the tariff and of the measures which
have been oppressive of the people have
been eclipsed and laid aside from the
political activities in the Senate Of the
United States.

A Towns Best Citizen.

The best man we have in our town
for the general good of the town is the
one who will always be on the front
seat in the progressive band wagon.
He is the first one to extend an open
and warm hand to greet the stranger
and welcome him to the best town in
the State. He will resent an insult to
our town as quickly as he would a
slur at member of his family. He
very politely invites the chronic croak-
Ter to move on. He is ever ready to
give his just proportion to every pub
lie enterprise. He talks up our town
at home and abroad and believes it the
best place upon Gods green earth in
which to live and desires to be buried
here when he dies. Let us all try and
our little city will take on new life and
improve as never before in it's history.
