The republicans of this county held
their "ratification" lat)iitfht.
1'rofcbHGr V. K. Andrews, their nom
ine for congress, wa tin; chief .sx;ak
er. A great many independents had a
desire to see the man who will "talk
tariff" while McKeighan goes to con
gress. So the court room was well
filled.
Professor Andrews is a gentleman of
pleasing address, and convinced all
that he is well versed in all the "quaint
and curious volumes of forgotten lore;"
but in meeting MchVighan on the
issues of the day, his came will le
"pants," and "nothing more."
The speaker gave an eloquent peror
ation on freedom from the Mayflower
down and asci ilxjd it all to the re
publican party. He brought into re
view all the great characters of Amer
ican history, and claimed them .Jeffer
son and all as exponents of the princi
ples of the republican party.
He compared the period between
178.'J and 1789 with the present time and
assumed that the different condition is
due to the wisdom of the republican
party.
He spoke of the "southern outrages"
and charged t hem up to the democratic

and Ireland we ought to bless the g. o.
j). and he content.
He closed his discourse by wondering
how it is that under a republican form
of government like ours all men are not
republicans, and telling the voters that
he would take it as a favor if they
would all vote for hiin.
Hon. Ti. (!. Hurd was then called for
and made the "hit" of the evening
when he informed I'rof. Andrews that
if he boat "the man from Cork" he will
bo a daisy. He also said that the chop
ping down of the Sycamore (Nettleton)
had caused quite a disturbance in the
republican atmosphere of Clay county
but lie believed that it would" subsice
and all would rally to the standard.
Mr. Hurd's remarks were of a humor
ous nature and woke the people up in
good shape.
We have since heard a number of re
publicans say they believed they would
vote for their candidate.
Independent.
the meeting was advertised to be held,
and although a fire breaking out on the
premises of our president drew many
away, yet a large and enthusiastic
audience greeted the speaker. It was
noticeable that Mr. Fairchild spoke as
a "lecturer of the alliance" and not a
a "people's party" speaker. Using his
own words he was a "member of no
party." "Was glad he had broken
loose from party ties. No party in ex
istence was above taking bribes. They
were all corrupt," and he "wished all
alliance members to cut loose from
party."
Mr. Fairchild believes in mixing re
ligion with his politics, which fact
somewhat startles his old party fcon
temporaries who know that their poli
tics and religion are strangers. After
the address the writer heard the fol
lowing comment from many lips: "It
is the best sermon T've heard for many
years." S.

Enthusiasm Unbounded

Though York

We held our county convention to
day, the veteran Dr. Moore of Brad
shaw presiding, and selected delegates
to the different state and district con
ventions. Entire harmony prevailed,
throughout. The delegates appeared
to be all of one mind in 'One place, and
when a resolution was offered to in
struct the different delegations elected
to fuse with neither of the old parties,
in making their nominations, the en
thusiasm was unbounded and it wis
carried with a whoop and a yell.
I can desorib3 the feelings and ac
tions of the convention no better than
than to quote the language of aCennan
delegate present. He said: "You pot
dis is a pully convention, and nopody
got mad already."
Yours for anti-fusion.

Then political regeneration of the
world will approach its accomplish
ment. A fall to the greatest must precede
the full, final, thoroughly political re
generation of the world. Yet no van
dal hands can ever reach and grasp and
secure this great boon to long suffer
ing, misgoverned humantty.
The right to change any existing
form of government, to amend or re
peal constitutions or statute laws, is
only given to the few statesmen who,
in originating and advocating meas
ures for the public good, are endowed
with the ability and wisdom io estab
lish better forms of government, and
enact more equitable laws.
No practical reformer ever attempts
to "take from any man what he trusts
in until he is prepared to accept the
substitute offered him." Anarchy lurks
in the breast of any man who, under
the mask of reform, proposes to "de
stroy the soul of the land, by the de
struction of its shrines and sanctua
ries," Let contentious sectarians wrangle
over their various translations of the
Word. It is our duty as citizens of
this great republic, as free electors, so
to use our franchise as to enact laws in
conformity with the decalogue, and
administer the laws in line with the
golden rule. Thus will come the politi
cal regeneration of the world.

Stand by Principle-
The independents seek to unite the
people in order that the laws be made
and administered in the interest of the
people instead of in the interest of a
few citizens who are organized into
corporations
With the people divided on old dead
issues the corporations 4 'scoop the
board," and take the profits of every
legitimate industry as completely as
the slaveholder gathered in the results
of his chattel's toil in the days of negro
slavery.
Andrew Jackson was right when he
pounded the United states bank into
the ground. If the people's party is
true to its principles it will bury the
chartered privileges of corporations so
deep that they will never see a morn
ing of resurrection.
If we show that we mean business,
every farmer, laborer, business and
professional man who believes in fair
play will be with the people's party in
the end. C. M. Clakk.

An Outrage Condemned
The following resolutions refer to the
cowardly midnight assault made not
long since by some ruffians on J. S.

certain class of citizens by his fearless

the enforcement of the law;
Whereas, We have cause to believe
the outrage perietratcd upon himself

was instigated and preformed by the
lawless class which he has antagonized;
