Rhode Island — .i 'emocratic. The outlook for the Democracy shows up well. Cleveland, Ohio, has been carried by the Democracy. The Republican major ty in Cincinnati has been considerably reduced. In Chicago Democrats generally united with the Republicans with a view to down tiie socialists. The idea that t l e Democracy have yielded a point in their oppoposition to centralization, by advocacy and passage of te Inter-State Commerce law, is original with the Message man. The Rensselaer Republican presents ts readers with an article manufactured by the Indianapolis Die Factory, commencing thus: “A prominent Democrat of the Indiana House, speaking of the e - posures of the southern prison and insane hospital, said: “There will literally b no end to the majority the Republicans will have in 1888.” * * Now the name of that “prominent Democrat” would be of incalculable benefit to the Republican, but it is unable to furnish it. The “prominent Democrat” is a myth. The sentiment was never uttered.

DEATH OF MAJ. WM. P. ELLIOTT.

lheLewistown (Pa,) Free Press of this week brings to us the sad intelligence of the death of Maj. Wm, P. Elliott, who departed this life at his home in that place, on last Saturday, in the 94th year of his age. Maj. Elliott was a v 'teran of the War of 1812, and at t'.o time of his death the oldest printer in the United States, an honor which will now fall upon his old friend, Gen. Simon Cameron of Harrisburg Pa. Prior to and du. ring the Jacksonian period Maj. E. was editor of one of she Lewistown papers. On our visit home in 1879, we had the extreme pleasure of meeting our old friend. He was ripe in years, and enjoyed vigorous health.

Rev. N. G. Taylor, father of Gov. R. L. Taylor, of Tennessee, died at liis home in Happy Valley, in that State, on Saturday last. He served two terms in Congress before the war, and was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs by President Johnson in 1886. tie was regarded as the most eloquent minister in Tennessee. At the close of the war, when the people of East Tennessee were in a destitute condition, he delivered a series of addresses through the North, and collected more than SIOO,OOO for their relief. The unique canvass of his two sons “Bob” and “Alf,” m the Gubernatorial race last autumn, in which Robert, the Democrat, was successful, will long be remembered.

The Republican this week dishes up to its readers anjarticle from the Indianapolis Journal which denounces Democrats as rebels, traitors, etc., and presses Morton to the fron -as the type of statesmanship, morality and virtue. It would probably be as well for these lickspittles of Mr. Morton to let him rest. There are scores of thousands of patriotic citizens who bear more rebel lead in their bodies than Morton and his fob ower* ever saw, who wen* at the fron dicing battle for the Union whil the~o tivoly 1 oil” shr/ekers re-

mained at home to do the voting, and they do not by any means place the sa ..e high estimate upon t e statesmanthip, the patriotism, morality and virtue of their patron. It is no oart of wisdom for the Journal to furnish such ammunition to its ignorant fol owers.

Republicans who are distressed over the fact that the 49th congress failed to reduce taxation and who are loud in th Q ir abuse of the democratic party for not seein i that it was done, will see themselves reflected in the following from the Chicago News: Senators Sherman, Edmunds Vbison and ether republican leaders are about these da s delivering themselves of diatribes against the ' emocratic party and administration, on the grounds that they have fail d to take t e iritial step looking to some measure to reduce taxation. On every possible occasion —in speeches, letters and interviews—these gentlemen take oc casion to ring the changes on this political chestnut, wflh the idea of elevating it into an important party issue. No..', in reality, this r harge is a bald-faced piece of political hypocrisy—a xarty dodge of the cheapest and at the same time most despicable description. In p*. int of fact no less than two conspicuous attempts to “take the initial step,” which those conspicuou > leaders of tii * opposition were apparently so coin erued should be taken, were made. One was on the 17th of J une the other on the 18tli o e December 1886.

From the present exhibitions of regret on the part of these Fueling senators one would naturally be lea to suppose that on these two occasions their party friends and supporters in the lower house made every effort in the direction which Messrs. Sherman et al now claim to have been essential to the best interests of the country. On tl e contrary, the facts are that on both the above occasions they were the members of congress who rendered it wholly impossible that the much-desired “initial step” should be taken. Thus, on the occasion of the June attempt, the vote for considerat on of the lax-reduction bill stood: Democrats 136 for; republicans, 4 ditto: against consideration, 35 democrats and 122 republicans. On the occasion of the December attempt the vote stood 134 democrats and 6 republicans for, and 25 democrats and 129 republicans against consideration.

So that this “initial step” which the hypocritical Messrs. Sherman et al are now shedding floods of tears because it was taken, owes its defeat almost wholly to their own party tactics; ft>r, whde 86 per cent, of the democrats voted to take it, only 3 to 4 per cent, of the republicans aided them in a direction which the opposition party new claims was a necessary and patriotic measure.

The Indianapolis News is the best illustration of what modern machinery ;n printing,, combined with modeiv systems for news gathering, can do for 2 cents. The News contains the complete Press dispatches Market and Railway Reports, Supreme Court decisions, Political, State and General News, covering the whole field of current Journalism, delivered at the door of subscribers ah over the state at 10 cents a week, 1-J cen'sa day. A prominent college President rein-rks: “The News furnishes just what we want and all the average professional or b slness man has time to read, and for a price that even a poor man will not miss.”

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.

Card From Hie Museum People. We, the Alusuein People, referred to by the Message, are sorry that we have only succeeded in “humdi ating to si lence” the cornet soloist and the dog in the wood-shed; as we have labored laithfully since we have been in your city, to effectually drown the torrents of oaths issuing from the youthfnl offsprings of the Consul to Turks Island, and their sounds of fighting and cursing which make day a bedlam and night a hideous night-mare, in the vicinity of the post-office. We have noticed a lofty, high-headed gent passing, with his chin elevated and a young lamp-post in his hand, to secure the freedom of the press; but we did not know him to be the ex-Consul to Turks Island, and the editor of the Message, and had we been so informed, we certainly should have sent so prominent (?) a citizen a com-

plimentarv ticket.

CARD OF THANKS.

A sentiment of deep gratitude impels us to take thin method of making public our thanks to the teachers and pupils of the Rensselaer schools, and to al our good friends for their eympathy, kindness and help in our time of great sorrow and sore affliction. Especially are we grateful to Professor Eeubelt and Miss Hill, who prayed daily that the Health of our beloved daughter Agnes might be restored, and that she might be spared a little while longer ; also do we thank cur daughter’s schoolmates, auu the go d neighbors who we*e kmdly in ..ttention during her fatal sickness. May God, the Supreme Ruler, reward and preserve you all, is our humble and sincere

prayer.

What True Merit \ ill Do. The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German Syrup within a few years has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best emedy ever discovered for speed « and effectual cure of Colds, Cougl ,s and the severest Lungtroubles. It acts on an entirely different principle from the usual prescriptions given by Phys cians, as it does not dry up a Coug :, and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals tlm parts affe«ted andieaves them in a purely healthy condition. A rotFe kept m tli- house for use ■when the diseases make their appearance, will save doctor’s bills and a long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts. It is positively sold by all druglsts and general deal - c the Prim 7 5 r. ■> - Vm>s 'O-lp? We have received a cop}' of the Kansas City Mo., Illustrated Western World, in which appear a portrait and brief autobiography of our Senator S. P. Thompson. The likeness is passabl good, but looks as though the “shadow” had been secured while the “substance” was enduring the torture of suspense, occasioned by fear of a report from the Committee ol Elections which might cut short his senatorial career. The autobiography, we suppose is as fpr e from errors as the legibleness of ‘opr Simon’s’ manuscript would admit of.

Great Sbott! Miss Katie Green was voted the silver-crystal berry dish, and Prof. Eeubelt the goldheaded ebony cane. The; Scott Festival was ah institution an-: a success.

J. W. Duvall intends making a a trip to Kansas next week, and will tak with him two fine stallions. Mr. Jas. H. Adamson and Miss Mary J. Shook were married at the M. E. parsonage, last Sunday, by Rev. D. Handley. At the residence of Bert Hutson, in Ronsselaer, Sunday evening, Mr. John B. Steele and Miss Retty Boyd were united in marriage by Rev. D. Handley, W. B. Chilcote came near losing his residence by fire, Monday.— Mrs. Lyman Zea discove ed the blaze a d happily promptly extinguished it. The jury in the cause of the State vs. Coleman, gave the defendant two years in the p< ni'entiary. The indictment against Templeton and Bi’rns didn’t hohl water. It was quashed. - Vie. Loughridge went to Chicago this morning. .— ■«»». And now there are these who rejoice that the bill to prohibit the employment of foreign detectives did not become a law.

FREE TRADE. The reduction :>f internal revenue and the taking off of rovi'inip stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doub has largel.v benefitted the consumers’ as well as relieved the burdens of home manufacturers Especially is this the ease with Green's ugust Flower and Boschee’s German Syr up, as tue reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, lias been added io increase the size of the bo'tles containing these rcm°dies. thereby g'v ing one-fifth imorc medicine in :he7s cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German B'yrup for Cough and Lung troubles nave perhaps, the !ar> gest sale of any medicines in the world . The ad vantage of wmi cast d size of the bottles will be great! appreciated by the Sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized -ountries. Sample bottles for 10 cts. remain he same size 11—1 Very Remarkable Recovery. Mr. Geo. V.
