Tiie following from the Marietta

mend it to the democrats of Rock¬

parties heretofore have primaries participa¬

height of presumption and dishon¬
or for a democrat to help make
populist nominations, and it ought
u ith equal force apply to members
of other parties. To participate
in a nomination means allegiance
to that party, and men should act
in good faith in these political
matters, .Such restrict ions should
he thrown around the primary as
to protect.every candidate in the
result, that the choice of lhe dem¬
ocrat ie voters has been made in
t he actual party vote cast, No el¬
ement should seek to control or
shape democratic nominations not
in sympathy with the success ot
the party.”

Cuba Must Be Free!
This is no by-play but a solid fact, War is liable to come
at any moment and no living man can foretell what elfect it will
have upon the country, War doesn’t usually bring about a
pleasant state of affairs and we don’t expect this one, if it comes,
to prove an exception. We dare not prophecy its results.
Should we be ordered to the front
we wouid go,
And therefore it behooves us to shape our business so that
when we are called vve can go
OUR STOCK IS TOO LARGE
for us to favor war and our influence will be withheld for the
present. We must reduce this stock at once. We don’t need
too many goods in time of war and vve are now* going to offer
You will understand what this means when you have looked
through our stock and learned of our prices,
We have a very large stock and it consists of goods that
possess undisputed merit, Everything new and stylish and
