It appears that paper Sat money

will never hereafter underestimate
the power of the press.
Sixty-odd prominent Independ

the Northern States which sup

opposed to Blaine and in favor of
Cleveland. Not only straws, but
very largo trees sometimes' show
which way the wind blows.

Blaine cause. Something ol' the
kind was needed in Dnneannon,
from which place the republican
majority in Perry county always ;
comes, for the party there is in a
slate of revolt and the local lead
ers have become alarmed for the
safety of their county ticket. The >
Duncannon Iron Company recent

reduction in the wages of all cm |
plovcs, to go into effect on Oct. I, j
which so angered the intlcc that ■

card on his breast bearing the fol
lowing words: “James O. Blaine
is dead. The 10 per cent, reduc

Democratic nominee for presiden

court bouse In Hawkinsville. Mr.
Hodge made the first address,
which was frequently applauded.
He said that his reason for speak

come last, as he would he followed
by Judge Crisp.
Judge Crisp was introduced by
by Mr. Hodge, and proceeded to
disouss the differences between the
Democratic and Republican parties
to the entire satisfaction of bis
audience. He also spoke of certain
matters that had been before the
last session of Congress, and ex
pressed his position on several
questions, lie said that the United
States treasury now contained four
hundred millions of dollars that
had been taken from the people by
high taxation; that the policy of
the Republican party is to keep
the people poor by heavy taxation.
The Republican party now boasts
of a full treasury, while it is a sad
fact that thonsamla of poor people-
are out of employment, and nu

the situation.
Judge Crisp said that lie expect
