Dockery makes to be a "plain farmer," "a horny handed son of toi1," who dig" his living out of the giound. He tells the people that be is nothing bat a plain fartner,draged away from home against his will, that had a brother farmer, Captain Alexan der, for instance, been nominated by the Democrats, nothing could have induced him to be an pppoc ing cand;da.te. This is the veriest twaddle in the world, and no man that did hot have the cheek of a rhinoce ros won1 d be guilty of it. Instead of being a plain favener, making a living from tbe soil, he is the wo at demagogue in the State and a thoioogUn.ced,bioken-down Radical politician of the lowest kind. - ; If aayone doubts this let him look at the mau's record since the war. In 1S63 be ran for Congress twite: Twicer iu one year is pietty fa'i' for a plaia farmer averse to ,oC"t'cs aud happy only when watching his growing crops! Iu 1SG9 be showed his love for lr's crops by staying in Washington C'ty; and so in 1870, wheii he eased tie bittei ness ot hs grief at his absence li om those same ci.ons by another race for Con gress. But that was not a good year for Radicals, and so Dockery was beaten, and in 1871 he went back to his beloved cops. And then the Democrats changed, the makeup oi' his d;stricfc so that he had no showing for Cou3esi any moie. Biit for this little circum stance he would have beeu run ning for Oongiess every, two years from that day to this. Kot to be idle, however, in 1S7G he was a candidate for Elector from the State at large and was defeated, aud again in 1SS0 he was a candi date for the dame place and again defeated. In 18S2, when by acci dent, as it were, there was a Cou gre- sman for the State at large, and the election coming on in an oil-year, he made the race and, as we all know, was beaten. Since then there has beeu no opening for him for Congress, his district being overwhelmingly Democratic and so, having run down on his farm, be now seeks to be Gover noi. And this is the mau who is pa- radiusr the Si;ate as tbe farmer's friend! Wokuowjast the k;nd of a farmer he is. There is at least one of the sort iu every neighbor hood in tbe State, as tbe commis sion merchants know to their cost. They farm on supplies and ad van ces from commission merchants, and make cotton and buy corn and work poor mules. This sort of farmers "know it al1," but some how their crops dou't pan out well. They can tell a poor neighbor who drops in of a Sunday evening just a1! about it, but that same poor neighbor, who knows nothing abo u t scien t i fie f ar m i n g,bu t pla u is right straight along in the old way, will sell twice as much cot ton to the acre. Yon w'U hear a "farmer" like Colonel Dockerv, ex-member of Congres, almost any day now cal culatiug how much cotton he will make. Theie are so many hilLs, says ;he, in au.acie, so mauy stalks to tbe bill, so many matured bolls io tbe stalk, "certain," so many bolls to the pound, and 400 pounds to the bale, and the resuU is any where lrom one to two bales to the asre and when it is all picked out the average will be about 125 pounds of lint to the acre! That's the kind of a faj mer Colonel Docj ery is. His affectedly shabby dress and apparaut want of attention to his pevsou do not prove him to be a farmer by any means. If this sort of thing proves any thin at all it is the demagoguery of the man or the want of soap and water. But what a low estimate he puts upon the tense of the people to suppose that such things as tbe"e will win their esteem and regc.d! They may catch negro votes, but they will never catch white votes. Negroes may think a man is near er their level because he is sloven ly in his dress and regardless of the deconcier of life, but white men see no special virtue, in a duty shirt when a clean one can be conveniently had, or in dirty bauds when so. p and water is convenient. We venture to say. without the slightest fear of suc cessful contradiction, that Colonel Dockery hrs not hoed a do .en rows 6 f cotton since be was twen- y-one years old. To talk about a man being a "plain farmer" who goes to Con gress whenever he can get a chance, who runs for Governor whenever he can get a chance and stays at home only when ho can't go any where else, is absmd. Bro ken-down politician is the right name for. him, and that is just what Oliver Eart Dockery is. And this is the man who goes about the State pieteud;.ng to be a farmer and trying to stir up strife among the people. It is not our puipose here to make any de fence of the lawyers; they are a css of people quite well able to t.;ke full cai e of themselves and have withstood many harder blows than Colonel Dockeiy's puny arm c?u give them, aud not fear any thing that a broken-down poUti- ciau and broken-down lawyer can do to the:r hurt. He loves farmers, he says, and hates lawyers. What are the facts? In 1C8-1 tbe Demociat;c candidate for the Legislature in the county of Richmond was a highly lespected faituer, named J. VY. Soeed. lie was a plan, steady, unassuming old farmer and a one legged Confederate sol dier, who wrs well tborght of by all his ne'ghbo s. Tbe Republican caudidate was a yonng negro law- :i, named Wi'Mani ...H. Quick, who had obtained his law license - i . in February, 1SS4. Now here weie the two candidates lor the votes of the people of Richmond county one an old, steady, white farm er ana the other a young negio lawyer and Dockeiy voled for the negro lawyer! But this was mo-. e than the oth er Republicans of Richmond coun ty could do, for Sneed was elected although R:chmond is a Republi can couuty. JSow, when Doc'iery, who pre- tends to love farmers so much, calls upon the people 10 vote for him because he is a farmer ana against Judge Fowle because he is a lawyer, ought he not to be asked why he voted against a white farmer and for a negro law yec? And will the people consider it a good excuoe that in this case the lawyer wr:3 a young negro buck aud the farmer a white Con federate soldier, with one leg shot off? We think not. The fact is Dockery is a perfect failure. He fa 'led as a lawyer, fail ed as a planter, failed as a soldier. faMed as a pol'tican, ana now having failed at all these things, sets himself ud as a fai mer! The A. wonder is he has never set up for a Dewsppper man. But it takes something moie than sixty years of failures, spent in ease and lux uiy, to make either a farmer or a newspaperman! As a slandeier of respectable, honest women, however he is a success. The fine bror. " cloth which the rich man wears p ys a tax of 50 per cent, the cotton warp Melton worn by the poor man pays a tax of 150 per cent. Yet wor kingmen are cooUv told bv the orarans of ij - . Monopoly and by the leaders of a great political party that t -iz m eaualitv must not be corrected. Under the Mills bill rich and poor aiiKe wouiu pay a w per cent tax on tneir ciotning. More Converts to Cleveland. Mr. Thomas Richardson, a life long and enthusiastic Republican of 111 ion, N. Y., has created a sen sation in the political circles of that section by announcing his puvpoce to support Cleveland and Thurman. He is a highly respect ed and influential lawyer of Her kimer county and has always been looked upon as one of the county's leading citizens. Mr. Richardson's chief reason for supporting Cleve land is the tariff question. To a correspondent he said: "I voted for Blaine four years ago with some hesitation growing out of the tariff matter, but I thought that the Democratic platform then was a si.-addle, while the Repub lican platform pvofessed to be in favor of a revision of the tariff, with a view of equalizing and ad justing the duties in order to re lieve the consumer without inju ry to the producer. This year the Republicans have taken very dif ferent greunds. The fair construc tion of their platform, as interpre ted by their leaders, is that a re duction of duties would increase the surplus in the treasury and would be disfcst-ous to the country, to the manufacturer, the farmer and the laboring man; aud their puipoie is to make tbe duties sub stantially prohibitory. The Dem ocvat;c party doe3 not advocate free trade r.s has teen unfairly and perhaps insincerely represent ed by the Republicans, but it leans to a reduction of duties gen erary, ana especially on raw ma terials. I shall vote for Cleveland and Thurman; and I think they wiil win." Archibald Linn, a well-known wool raauu fact urer of Portlan d, Maine, always beietofore rated a3 a rigid Republican, will this year vote for Cleveland Thurman and reasonable p? otection. He says: "When the tariff was put on wool our wool went down and has been low ever since, and if the duty on wool is removed I am suve the price will advance." The Flies of Ini-ia. I watched a child of about two and a half years enjoying a crust of bread. There were about it a swarm of flies, and I do not exag gerate when I say two or three dozen were on its face at onetime in patches as big as a half-dollar about the eyes and mouth. It would ccrew up its eyes when they threatened to go in. I thought come might have gone into its mouth witt the bread. It did not at all seem annoyed. I saw a sleeping child on the street whose fsce was almost blac1! with the in sects. It smiled as if angels were whispering in its ears. I have seen men talking pleesantly to gether while a do;jen flies would be promenading about their faces apparently unnoticed by the own ers of the faces. I asked a man how he could stand it. "Mashallah! They don't bother me," wrs his reply. This has made the fly bold, and he seems unable to under stand what a foreigner means when he tries to drive him off. He has, too, remarkably prehensile claws, and keeps them keen and sharp when taking constitutional walks over European countenan ces. ' It has Opened. "H?s the campaign opened in your neighborhood yet?" asked a citizen of a farmer from one of the Western townships "Oh, yes," was the reply. "Much enthusiasm!" "Heap of it. It has got so that no Democrat can borrow a draw ing of tea from a Republican, and no Republican could get a bar of soap from a Democrat if he was dying for it. Oh,yes the campaign has opened." Chattel Mortgages, Mortgage Deeds, Warranty Deeds, and Magis trates' Blanks for sale at this office, A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and i statistics show conclusively that more persons die Lorn diseases of the throat and lungs than any other. It is prov able that everyone, without ex ception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into the system, and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling, sensa tion in the throat, and if allowed to continue their ravages they ex tend to the lungs, producing con sumption, and to the head, cau ing cattarrh. Now all this is dan gerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the outset you must act with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go with out attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtoin a bottle of Boschee's Ger man Syrup. It will give you im mediate relief. A Cfcinese Compositor. io see a ininese comositor A. "setting up" is a sight. His case nanks him on three sides, ' and slopes from the ground to the heighth of about five feet. Tho type boqes number hundreds, and even then he has to have recourse to a type cutter every now and fthen for some character in the manuscript which he has not in in his case, and which must be cut for him. The . Chinese type cntter is usually a surprising ar tificer. The business of a Chinese sub-editor is rendered more lively by the fact that each word in Chi nese is a unit in itself, and not; made up of letters. His work com- prises altering tne vocaouiary so as to suit his supply of ready-made characters as much as possible; and thia is no easy matter when it is considered that the papers rxv to crfinftrallv to follow tho hi orh- flown styly of classics, and the writers strive to display their knowledge very often by the use ol words oi "learned ength and thundering sound," much to the disguslt of the pig-tailed "sub" who ruthlessely substitutes everyday language for the studied elegan cies of the learned writers. Misapprehended. "Have you any data on which to base a prognostication of the duration of the present period of excessive caloric in the circumam bient atmospher!" asked a young woman with spectacles of a man at the Union station yesterday.
