One blast of tke old Roman's bn gle on the red bandana is worth a thousand Northern votes. — Toe old Roman can still talk, and his words have the same ragged bark on toern that they have always had. Judge Thurman may be a little old, bat ho is a long ways from being as dead (is the Republicans will tfish him before the campaign is over. There having been some demand from our subsersbers for a rooster over the nomination, it will be found on this page today. If you don’t sec what you want in the Njcws,just call for it- With a jadiciou3 nomination and a sound protectionist platform, the Republicans can probably carry Penn sylvanio. We do not think of any other State just now that cau reason ably be conceded to them. Nobody knows what the liepubii can convention will do, but there is one thing which it pretty certainly will not do. It will not put up against Cleveland and Thurman those ten der youngsters Bobby Lincoln and Freddy Grant. A 1 ACTOR IN THE CONTEST. A party which in a few minutes can raise in its National Convention a campaign fund of nearly $30,000, contributed without a hope on the part of the donors of any return whatever, is entitled to be regarded as a factor in a national political con test. It was no wild freak of en thusiasm, says the Record, that led the Prohibitionists to start off in their Presidential campaign for and Brooks, but rather a deliberate purpose to mate such a demonstra lion of strength next fail as might astonish and confound the two lead¬ ing political parties. It has been declared by Prohibitionists that tojir present mission is “to break down the Republican party,” and in that task, no doubt, they have been great ly assisted by the folly of the leaders Of that once powerful political organ .znion, who have neglected the reforms that Republicanism should stand for, to follow after strange gods of mouopoly, corruption and sectional hate. If less of strength have been diverted to the ranks ot the Prohibitionists, it is be cause the Democracy, through all its blunders and stumbling, has stead¬ ily clung to those vital principles individual liberty and the honored theories of popular sovereignty which have been handed down to later generations by the founders of the Government. The Prohibition managers have long lecognizad this distinction, and witli the material in tesesis of the country through Demo cratic ascendency,by meansof which anti saloon Republicans have in pro vious campaigns been kept within the party ranks, they anticipate , large accessions to the ranks of the Prohibitionists during the months preceding the November election. Their hopes will probably be real zed unless in the meantime the Republi can organization shall eeoso to star.d for schemes of personal politics, monopoly, extravagance in adminis¬ tration and centralization of official power to which Prohibitionists, in common with other intelligent citi¬ zens, are inflexibly opposed. THE BANDANA. There iB great potentiality in your bandana. It has fluttered into sud den political prominence as if by its own volitioD. It has about its fold* the grace of an old-fashioned bones ty, homeliness and democracy as rare as Ben Franklin’s, and is properly made the oriflamme of a simple old hero like Allen Granberry Thurman. No flaming color, or polka dot» T 'or variegated squares can give it arro gance. An unchanging stability of character has marked it from the moment the loom tamed it forth in the days of our fathers. As that bandana was flaunted at foreign courts by our homespun philosopher, whose very sneeze, pro vocative of its use, was formidable 'to weak-kneed dynasties, so has Allen Granberry Thurman waged war with against political inftffmies in many a heated canvaes, when its soft swish across the forehead absorbed the bon est sweat of patriotic toil. In the land of cottonseed and sandy bottom, too, we have eome millions of swarthy fellow citizens who know a bandana when they see it! It is the same old Allen Granber ry Thurman pattern: the same cloth that defies fashion and station; invin cible because Democratic; as useful and expressive in flytime as in the heat of debate; the emblem of dom estic comfort-, the token of a compos ed mind at the village church, as of fidery on humble heads, a reminis conce of the days of plenty, “befo’d wab,” and a sure ihark of respectabil ity, alike in a Senator of the United States and in the toiler in the South ern fields. There is not the hint of surrender in the b^nd^na. It is emblemat c of Democratic victory, honesty and simplicity. Long may the principles Of the bandana wave in the laud of the free and the home of the brave ! t’Ot'K-A-DOODLE-1)00 ! Hey, boys, d’ye hear the Lon' slogan, Coming over from 8t v Again the cry is “Cleveland,’’ , And that me tns Frankie, too. Ye!

DE3KH BATff PLATFORMS. If any man doubts wkat lias been the position of the Democratic party, let bim read the official utterances made continuously from 1800 to 1888. - This record beguu in 1800 by de mantling free commerce with atl na tions, is followed in 1850 by a pledge 6f progressive free trade and ana closes Closes in 1888 by the declaration that un necessary taxation is unjust taxation. Here is a written law of the party, showing that at every stage of the nation’s history, the Democratic par ty, the party of Jefferson, of Jackson, of Cleveland, has contended for the largest freedom of trade consistent with the d.j. • d of an economical govermn >nt 1 nnail revenues. There i possible way for get ting aroi, J th s position. It ;s clear ly defined, it is well taken, it is ira pregnable. Cowards and traitors we have bad from the beginning, but the party has on this issue held always to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, which was as much an insistance on man’s right to ex change freely as ’* s a demand for freedom of po action. By this record the Democratic par ty must stand or fall. 5 .m t** W '* r .? v *»■ HOOD S SARSA PAftiUi" Were all wise enough to heed Oils advice in season, a world of suffering would be avoided.

Tho impoverished condition of the blood| the weakening effects of the long, cold winter, the lost appetite, and that tired feeling, all make a good spring medicine absolutely necessary.
