"Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests , but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. . She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle was miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Luiz. . " Thus write W. Gv Hamrick & Co. . . of Shelby , N. C Get a free trial bottle at A. McMillen's drug store. z. T * * 9fyt f Sfs iiiZ' * i : _ _ _ _ _ 12 _ _ ; COMPLETELY ECLIPSED The Republicans of Red Willow County Ratify the Nominations of "Ren" Harrison and Levi P. Morton. ENTHUSIASM UNBOUNDED ! Monster Torchlight Procession , Stirring Speeches , Every body Happy but THE DISCONSOLATE DEMOCRACY. The ratification of tho nominations of Gen eral Benjamin Hnrrison and Hon. Levi P. Morton , as their national standard bearers , by the republicans of Red Willow county , in this city , last Saturday night , completely eclipsed anything of tho kind that has ever transpired in Western Nebraska , both as to numbers en gaged therein and tho unbounded , spontane ous enthusiasm which prevailed throughout and marked tho every feature of the occasion. Republicans from all over tho county , as well as from adjoining counties , swelled tho ranks of the confident and alert republicans of Mc Cook. Five hundred yocman marched in the monster torchlight procession , headed by the bands and drum corps of the city. Stirring speeches were made b3' Geo. H. Grubb , of In dianola , William Weygintof Box Elder , and J. B. Jennings of this citr , their utterances on the political Issues of tho day being accom panied by prolonged cheering , showing that tho people are alive to the vital points involv ed iu this national campaign and indicating their absolute confidence in the lepublican party and its standard bearers. Campaign songs , an immense bon-flre on the hillside add ed their mite to a rousing ratification in every essential particular. NOTES ALONG THE LINE. Indianola sent up an enthusiastic delegation of forty or fifty. Our Mascotwill attend the Indianola ratifica tion , to-morrow evening. Somehow John Lewis' campaign song did not rest well with Mr. Wahlquist. To our bourbon friends , greeting : "Come , ye disconsolate , where 'ere ye languish. " A large delegation from McCook expect to participate in the republican ratification at Indianola Saturday evening. Another rouser may be anticipated. Tom Colfer was there , but the strain on his delicate constitution was too great for him. Falling upon the neck of his friend Judge Le- Hew lie wept copiously , desiring to be remov ed thither. The contrast between the rntitica tious was painlul even unto excruciation. The transparencies attracted considerable attention and comment. The appropriate in scriptions were : "England Keep Hands Off. " "Free Trade and Cheap Labor. Protection and Good Wages. " "Tippecanoe and Morton Too. A Full Vote and a Fair Count. " "A Solid North in ' 88. No Mugwumps in'88. " "The Fif teenth Amendment. Our Mascot. " BANKSVILLE and VICINITY. o H. and M. Harmony and multitudinous ma jority. Win. Relph was cutting rye for Pete Crcagcr , Wedncsdaytbc27tli inst. Mrs. A. D. Lincoln.who has been visiting tel- atives and friends at Lincoln , is expected to arrive home soon. Hurrah for Harrison and Morton. Wo don't need any snuff discolored bandanas , nor "Queens of . " 0.000,000 of people , " to boom our dual candidates. Messrs.Cain and Hill have bought a new Dcering self-binder and are icadyto assist iu harvesting the democratic party , which is be- lieved to be over ripe. The National Lodge Amalgamated Associa- tion of Iron and Steel Workers of tho United States , numbering 60,000 members , have joined the American Protective League in a body. The republican party adopted a protective tariff plank. Reader draw your own conclu- sions. Democracy hasn't intelligence enough to comprehend , how anything can exist that will benefit a manufacturer and at the same time an employe. They can't realize how men will be thrown out of employment if the manufac tories are compelled to suspend operations. Lo , the poor bourbon ! Mr. John Kerns has traded his beautiful J4 section of land , which joins us on the south , to Wm. Relph , for his ranch , containing 1-0 acres , , and 5500 worth of cattle We think Mr. Relph has the best end of that bargain. We _ want to whisper to you , quietly , that Wm. knows a good bargain when he sees it. J Sometime ago we stated that Miss Lily Sey- ( mour had departed for her Colorado home.but j it she her J seems postponed departure until JurySnd , leaving for her home on the eveni ing train of that day. Miss Lily has been a valuable acquisition to the society of West Banksville and her departure will be matter of regret to the young people with whom she was a universal favorite. Her home is in one of the natural parks of Colorado , where her father is an extensive ranchman. Wc wish her Godspeed. Some time ago we stated that "democracy with unlimited power , meant a monarchial form of government" and we were taken to task for making such rank predictions. We will offer a little proof of our assertion. The ' democratic party have secured some campaign badges , made of silk and representing Mrs. Cleveland's lovely ( ? ) face and below the repre * I sentation is the following , "Queen of 50,000,000 of people. " These badges were made byThos. Stevens of Coventry , Eng. How do you like- it , you who dote on your liberty and believe in the attributes of a free government ? Pretty ! bitter we should call it. However , democracy i s will swallow it , without a grimace. They are ! ] used to it. "It's English , dontcherno. " _ People often say of the tariff question "It don't amount to anything to the western homesteader. " Well let us see if it is not of the most vital importance. Mr. Thos. L. Joy i of Birmingham , Ala. , makes the following I statement , "It is not true , as the free tradeis allege , that the consumer pays the amount of protection duty. The competition of home manufnture reduces profits to a fair return for capital. The comparison below of prices in j 1850 , which were taken from a Georgia mer- ' chant's ledger of that date , with the prices of the same articles in 1888 , shows thehollowness of the pretense : 1850. IbSS. Nails , per pound , $ .10. ? .05. Calico , per yard , .12 ! . . .07. Trace Chains , per pr. 1.C0. .50. Socks , per pair , .10. .01. Axes , 1.25. .75. As 1850 was a year or low tariff and 18SS of high . tariff , we should have expected to find prices . higher in 1888 , than in in 1850 , but not so , So long as foreigners controlled our markets , we had to pay their prices. When we began to - manufacture , prices began to be regulated by i the cost of production. " SivAni. _ M. A.
