Official Organ of Webster County. tP.- 7T ~-~— z== ^ SUNDAY, REFT. M, IBM. Judge Crisp is over in Ibe wire* grass counties visiting his constit uents. The senatorial contest will have tbo effect oi bringing out a full vote in this district. fi*'.'- Blaine and Logan are both stomping Ohio, from which it would appear that the republicans are a little afraid of the result in that State. The Enterprise declares that Outhbert needs a bank. It is won derful that a place doing the busi ness Cutbbert does should not have such an institution. The other cities in the state do not seem to be following the exam ple of Amcricus very rapidly in raising funds for a (Icorgia exhibi tion at New Orleans. The Constitution snys New York is no longer doubtful, but is sure to go for Cleveland. We most devoutly hopo the Constitu tion’s prophecy will be verified. Now that the Indiana manufac turers are opposed to protection, it is supposed Mr. Blaine will not make much of the tariff issue in his speeches In that Htnte. lie will probably show himself to the people, [ farmers of the South h vo organ grease up the machines and get out j ized to win success by earnest en The following “Ticket and Plat-, form,” found in the Atlanta Journ al, Is good enough for young far mers end old ones too: “While the Young Farmcrs*Club ignores all connection with poll tics, and is purely an agricultural organisation, it feels impelled to follow the example of the temper ance people and put a Presidential ticket in the field. In so doing, however, we think our action will be more generally approved by the beat classes of citizens, for no ob Jection can he justly urged against any portion ot our ticket.

Before the republican conrcn lion met, Judge Tourgcc, in his magazino, the Continent, took the position that the nomination of Blaine would prove fatal to the party. He denounced Hlaino ns n trickster,and wan very severe ii|>on his corruption in congress. Alto gether it was one of the strongest articles against Blaine that ever appeared in print. To the aston ishment of everybody, J udgo Tour- gee, a short time ago, came out in support of the plumed knight. The other day, at Dunkirk, New York, the judge look the stand at n polit ical meeting and made a speech for his candidate. A democratic ora tor in reply produced the Conti nent for last May, and read there from Tourgce’s attack upon lilaine. The effect was paralizing. The gifted author of “A Fool's Kr- raud” was so lio|mlessly discon certed that bo fled from tho stand to hide Ids confusion. It was a complete rout. deavor, patient perseverance, wise economy and freedom from the shackles of debt. They have pul their hands to the plow witli hearty good cheer that promises well, and during the campaign it is safe to believe that they will not falter but press on to a noble victory. Then, and then only, will the farming in terests of the South awake from their thraldom and put on new life. There is a better and brighter day for agricultural labor, and its dawn ing cannot lie long delayed.
