The argument were srch as we thought were good Democratic docs trine before the Chicago convention Since then, in deference to majori ties and a very popular demand, we have felt it to be best to unite for the election of the Chicago ticket and we feel the more braced in our course by .the. fact that we have such men as Hoke Smith, General Gor don and a number of others of prominence with us. ; We think one of the; speakers dropped in t a the error of looking upon Mr. Bryan as favoring meas ured more extreme than he does. r Mr. Vinton's remarks on capital and labor were intended to combat that surprising .assertion that the financial issue is an issue of the classes against the masses.

The utmost precaution 8hould be employed to secure the liye stock on the farm from the in clemency of the weather and the sudden declension of the thermome ter to zero during the winter months. It is not only humane to the animal, but a saving of pro vender. The unexpected, it is said, always happens; but if you expect and prepare for an emergency and it does not happen, you are not a loser thereby.
