The income tax law is a great big

step in the right direction ; it is the

of a direct tax on those best

able to pay, for the support of the national government. The revenues for the support of the government have heretofore been paid on what the people eat, wore, and consumed in other ways, and the poorer the person t lie heavier he was taxed in

proportion lo his personal wealth.

Joe Fanning, the candidate for Auditor of State, is well qualified and eminently worthy. Morgan Chandler, the candidate for Treasurer of State, is a gentleman who ranks high as a citizen and as a Democrat. C. \V.

The Democracy of the State owe it to themselves lo buckle down to the work of organization ; the Democratic major ity of 1894 should surpass that of 1892; we have the right on our side, and we have the ability to present it and emphasize it by victory at the polls, if every Democrat does his whole duty.
