MIn sending printed atuft to the United States, but we have substituted barrels of the useful stuff this year and hope for the success of the Demo­ cratic party.11 The Interest taken In the Presidential contest; by the Bagllsh capitalists may be un­ derstood from t(he admission of Doulten, the proprietor of a large pot­ tery establishment which employs 2,200 people, that he had sent £500 to the Commercial Exchange Club of London, which handed 16 over to the Cobden Club fer transmission to the United States to aid ia defraying tbe necessary expenses* ef Cleveland's election. This man declared that he and others in the pottery business would give three years profits if needed to see the Mill's bill pass and free trade successful In tbe United States. The pamphlets and fly-sheets •f tbe Cobden Club have not produced the impression hoped for on the minds of the American people, and now Barrels of the Useful Stuff" are to be tried. But the worklngmen of this Republic cannot be bribed by British gold into an abandonment of their principles any more than they can be bamboozeld by tree-trade sophis­ tries, and feel tbe same contempt for those who hope to corrupt them that the gallant Irish-American General, Joseph Reed, of revolutionary fame did when he replied to the emissary who oflered him teu thousand guineas to betray his country:--WI am a poor man, but tbe King of England Is not rich enough to buy me."--Irish World.

Meagre St man Hopkins Downs Speaker Carlisle In Joint Debate. A special from Washington, under date of Oct. 2d, says: "Congressman Hopkins, ef Illinois, kas been down in Virginia delivering speeches for the last three or four days, speaking in Seanoke Saturday evening and in Xexlngten last night. At Lexington the afiair developed into a joint de­ flate on the tariff question between Mr. Hopkins and Speaker Carlisle, and * large concourse of people were pres­ ent from both parties. Speaker Car­ lisle opened tbe discussion, and spoke a$ Homo length en the manner in which farmers suffered undee taxation from ilNt protection policy. Mr. Hopkins ftOowod and illustrated to the audi- 0«» present in a forcible way the MtoWtages the farmers were reoelv- by virtue of a home market.

EtfmmPLAtNDiu LEU:--Will ydu be kind enough to Insert in the columns of your valuable paper two or tbree ques­ tions subjeined, for the purpose of en­ lightening the Irish Democrats of the 8th Senatorial District relative to a D. H. Flavin, of your county, whp appears to be up for Legislative honors on tbe barnacle ticket. In a recent issue of a sheet printed in your county, and run in the interest pf the above named would be candi­ date, we learn that his biography ap­ peared, giving htm a very elaborate send off, stating his qualifications as a law-maker, an or itor, in short a person fully qualified and deserving of any favors within the gift of the voters of tbe District, and ^imong other .things, that he being an Irishman he was thereby entitled te the full vote of that nationality. Now what the Irish Democrats of this District would like to be informed about is this: Is this the D. H. Flavin, wbo four years ago, while attending a political meeting, held on tbe Fair Grounds, in Wood­ stock, grossly insulted the late General John A. Logan, while he was address­ ing his constituents upon the issues of the campaign? Is he tbe D. H. Flavin wbo later on In tbe same campaign hurled missiles into a Republican pro­ cession f Is he the D. H. Flavin who tiro years ago attended a political meeting In tbe town of Hartland, (uninvited) and by his language and actions proved himself capable of per­ forming acts of meanness and degra­ dation that would make the leaders of tbe slums of New York or tbe toughs of Bridgeport turn green with envy? If this is tbe same D. H. Flavin whose biography appeared so recently in tbe Woodstock echo, tbe person wbo wrete it certainly must have a very elastic conscience, or to say the least a very meagre idea of what constitutes true uianbood, His being an Irishman cer­ tainly can cut no figure with the major Ity of the Irish Democrats, as they generally do not wiBh te be instrumen­ tal In elevating any man to a position of honor and trust, let his nationality or religious faith be what it may, if bis antecedents are not in keeping with what constitutes a gentleman and a law abiding citizen.

Mrs. Henry Chandler has been sick the past week. Bernie Church cut his leg with a corn knife a few days ago and has been confined to the house for a few days. Mr. and Mr3.

Tbe Horse races that were to have come off on Friday last, were post­ poned until Tuesday afternoon of this week on account of the weather. There is a big time expected on that oc­ casion as H. B.

A dispatch from Belvidere under date of October 4tb, says:--Yester­ day was a field day at the county seat of Boone county. A joint debate in the afternoon between senator Chas, E. Fuller, republican, and C. H. Fur­ bish, Democrat, filled the ball and af­ forded instruction and amusement. Fuller wears the scalp of his antago­ nist at his belt. He lifted it in scien­ tific style. In tbe evening there was a fine torchlight procession, and tbe spacious hall was again filled with not leas than 1,500 people to hear a debate on the Issues of the day between C. S. Darrow, Democrat, of Chicago, and Edward Taylor, Republican, of Evan- ston. Mr. Taylor made many admira­ ble bits, and is one-of the most forci­ ble speakers that have ever addressed a political audience here. He com­ pletely demolished poor Darrow.*' A Man of Power. General Harrison's speeches are mar vellous. Fer months he has been talk­ ing frankly and freely almost .every day. Instead of cautious reserve, he exhibits wonderful freedom from restraint, and his speeches, though generally brief, go to the very root of tbe matter. There Is no topic of public discussion which he has not treated. He fellows no one's lead, but often dissents from other prominent Republicans. To the Chicago plat­ form and the teachings of his party he does not hesiate to give his own inter­ pretation wherever a difference of interpretation is possible. On tbe surplus question, the tariff question, the purity of elections and the reform of the Civil Service, he gives in pregnant sentences the very essence of Republican principles. No more con- vinelng arguments on the tariff ques­ tion have been made by any other speaker In this remarkable campaign. AUCTION SALE.
