Oar candidate, «T. Yost, present member of Congress from this Tenth Virginia district, and H. St. George Tucker, son of J. Ran­ dolph Tucker, were advertised to have a joint discussion. The Democrats se­ cured the services of the Hon. Carlisle and we poor Republicans expected to be torn all to pieces, but to our great joy there appeared on the scene a poli­ tical light from your State--the Hon. A. J. Hopkins, then we felt easy. Car­ lisle led oft, and I must say he is small potatoes In this fight, either with our Tost or your Hopkins. Tucker followed Carlisle, and then our little man, Yost, went for Tucker with gloves off after they bad got through to the great joy and amidst the shouts of the Republicans. Then Hopkins toek the stand and for one hour held the crowd to close attention with hie comparison of free trade and protec­ tion and his eulogy on the thrift and prosperity of your State compared to ours, that ought to be In the front rank of progressive States. He spoke nobly on your common school system, its efleets upon the masses of your common people. In fact It was a speech that any man could listen to with profit to himself, and I feel sure that be put many Democrats to think­ ing."

ISTButter teok an upward turn at Elgin, 111., Monday, and the market was active. Sales were 12,180 pounds, at 26 cents, for a total of #3,166. While the Bourbon papers are bowling about the rate of taxation for State purposes--in spite of the fact that the rate of the last year ef Gov amor Oglesby's administration is about one*third of General Palmer's first year, and less than one-half of the average of Palmer's whole term--It Is a significant fact that they omit all Sefereacfe to the sums returned to the several counties from tbe office ol tbe State Treasurer, en account of tbe •cbool fund. In some cases this sum amounts to nearly one-balf the whole venue eollected from the coanty for State purposes. JTA month ago the New York Tribune filled twenty-four columns of Its space with a review of President Cleveland's appointments. In tbe list are 137 criminals, 22 persons guilty of political crimes, 59 persons directly Connected with the criminal classes and 35,000 people who were gnilty of treason to the United States. Tbe Tribune challenged' the Democratic party and all concerned to prove that aay part of the list was Incorrect, and Offered to make any corrections that isight justly be demaoded; But ene correction has been asked for and that bas been made. This Is the way Mr. Cleveland bas carried ont bis elyil ser- Vloa reform promises. 19* How much longer will honest Prohibitionists, who have left the Re- publican party for the advancement of the cause of temperance, remain In Ibe third party? R. M. Hutchens, of Plymouth, Indiana, a prominent Pro blbltlonist, is out with a letter ex­ plaining why be left tbe tijlrd party Se says at bis county Prohibition cm • ventlon, of wbicb be was president 4be Reverend Mr. Hughes, Prohibition Candidate for governor, said to hirn •'The only thing lor us to pay any at tentlon to In this campaign Is the Republican party, we must defeat them at all hazards." Mr. H itcbens was shocked and soon announced that he should work for Harrison and Mor­ ton, He now says: "The Democrats and Prohibitionists have both been angry with me ever since. Of course they are equally offended because their cause Is the same." SSAr"' AUCTION' SALE.

Putting on the Screws; A close perusal of tbe address Issued by the National Democratic Committee, particularly that portion relating to contributions fer political purposes, is calculated to bring tears to tbe eye of the most hardened office­ holder, Nothing could be more beauti­ ful than the following appeal: This committee recognizes that no person in tbe public service is under a<ny obligation to contribute to any political fund, or to render any politi­ cal service, and that such person will not be removed or otherwise preju­ diced for not doing so. It recognises especially that no person in said ser­ vice has any right to use official authority or influence to coerce the political action of any person or body!" To the unsophisticated mind all this seems fair and lovely; but alas for the "rarity of Christian charity under the sun," tbe most shameless methods are being employed all over the country to bleed government em­ ployees. Gollctions are taken up in all the departments at Washington with the most unblushing affrontery. A clerk's office bas been opened. "A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse," bat the clerks are not blind-- they see the nod, and they mark tbe shadow of tbe heavy boot which lies behind it. That good and law-abid­ ing citizen and Democratic official, Post-master General Dickinson bas turned his department into political headquarters. The clerks pay up or they are respectfully requested to in­ spect tbe streets for an Indefinate period. Tbe following deeply interesting circular tells Its own story: DEAR SIRS:--Tne Territorial Demo­ cratic Executive Committee bas in­ structed me to call upon all federal and territorial officials in the third legislative district, to contribute at least five per cent of their annual sal­ ary toward defraying tbe expenses of tbe present campaign. ActiDg under these instructions, you are requested to at once contribute tbe amount due from your office by remitting the same to the undersigned.--Circular of George S, Matthews. committeeman for third district. to federal office holders in Dakota, Truly a public office Is a public grab!

C. J. BRILL, Rlcliraorid, Octoticr 15tb, 18P8. L. W. NICHOLS, JR., jglgin W/jcqes. IVThis from a minister of tbe gos pel and an ardent supporter of tbe third party must be correct: Bev. Aaron Gurney, whom we re member as the leading prohibitionist Of Elgin, writes: "The most unrelia­ ble voice that ever speake to any large body of people Is the Voice of New '^Yerk, the leading third party paper of the nation. Its facts are fiction; its Ideas are Idiocies; Its details are de monlac; Its practice Pharisaical and its purpose political aid to the Demo­ cratic party. The man who reads and believes It* facts i* misled and delud­ ed; If he acts upon Its Ideas be be oemes a foolish, facattcal Pharisee; if he aids its purpose, he binders, ob- atroete and prevents all adyance of the temperance reform. It is tbe voice #f the demon, and net tbe voice of God; Let it speak, bat believe It not IX U tells tbe truth It Is by accident."
