THE NtCKTIE CO., Angltta, 11a. Please state what periodical you Raw our advartiiiexiient iti. The republicans of the United States, as sembled by their deleases in national con vention, patiNC on the tjbresnoid of their pro ceedingp to honor the memory of their first great leader, the immortal champion of lib erty and the rights of the people, Abraham Lincoln; and to cover also with wreaths of imperishable r.-membrance and gratitude the heroic names of our later leaders, who have been more recently called away from our c itiiiciln Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Log-n, and Conkliiig. May their memories lie faithftillv cherished. We also recall with tur greetings and pryer for hia recovery the name of one of our living heroes whose memory will be treasured in the historv both of the republicans and of the republic the name of that- noble soldier and faithful child of victory, Philip II. Sheridan. In the spirit of those great leaders and of our own devotion to human liberty, and with that hostility to all forms of despot ism and oppression, which is the fundamen tal idea of the republican party, we send fraternal congratulations to our fellow Americans of Brazil upon their great act which completes the abolition of slavery throughout the two American A-ontiueiits. We earnestly hope that we may soon cmi grata I ;te our fellow-citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland. We reaffirm our unsv rerving devotion to the national cons' itui ion and to the indis soluble union of the states and to the auton omy re-erved to the states nnder the con ititutiin; to the pers-.ttal rights and liber 1ii-8 of citizens in all the states and territo ries in the Union, and especially to the su preme and sovereign right of every lawful citizen, rich or poor, oative or foreign born, white or black, to cast one free ballot in public elections, and to have that billot duly counted. " We hold the free and hon est popular ballot, and the just and eipial representation of a I the people, to be the found ition of the republican government and demand effective legislation to secure the integrity anil purity of elections, which are the fountains of all public authority. We ch rge that the present adminis tration and the democratic majority in congress owe their existence to the suppression of the ballot by a criminal ;tuilif!ii.-if ion of the con stitution of the United States. We are uneompr'.niisinglv in favor of the American system of protection. We pro test against its destruction proposed by the president and his party. They st-rve the interests of Knrope; we will support the in terests of America. We "accept the issue afid contidentiy appeal to the people for their judgment. The protective system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always been followed by genera! disaster to all interests, except thos.; of the usurer and those of the sheriff We denounce the Mills I ill as destructive to the general busi ness, the labor, aud the farming interests of the country, and we heartily indorse the consistent and patriotic -iction of the repub lican representatives in congress in opposing its passage. We condemn the proposition of the democra ic party to place wool on the free list, and we insist that the duties that are ;m it shall be adjusted and maintained ?o as to furnish full aud adequate protection to that industry. The republic in party would effect all needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing-the taxes apoa Tobacco, which an an annoyance and burden to :-gricultnre. and the tax uo-n spirits upi d in the arts and fur mechanic d purp.-si s, and by snub re vision of the tariff laus as will tend t. check the imports of sttch articles as are produced by our people, the production ol which gives employ m.-nt io our labor, and release from import duties those articles of foreign production ( xcept luxuries) the Itfce of which cannot lie produced at home. If there shall Rtill remain a tamer revenue than is requisite for the wants of the govern nun it. we f.n or the entire repeal of internal reve nue taxes rather than the sorrgBiferof any part of onr protective system at the joint behest of the whisky trust and the agents of foreign m-tiinfact urers We declare onr hostility to the introduc tion into this country af b. reign c ntret labor and of Chinese labor, alien to onr! civilization and our constitution, and we de maud the rigid enforcement of the existing aws against it, and f.iCor sm-h immediate "gislatioii as will exclude such labor fr m sin r s. . We declare i ur onpoitio:. t-. ail c tubtn i ..s 01 capil d organized ir.l trusts r mh -. ise locomrol arbitr rny the cnautitic f n e ani-'tig our citiz-ns, an" we recom e: .l to congress and the state legislatures tli-ir respective jurtsdic im.-- -m-h legisja. it .-.s wi.l preVeut the execution of all eu'S to o . n-s the people by nndne r.'i.-s ur t!p-n sup .lies or by unjust rates r the trausportarioa f iht-ir ptoducts to aartcet. We approve the legislation b ogress to prevent alike nnji,-t burdens and .nfair ilis-ci-iniiu.tioi s between the states We reaffirm the policy of appropriating e public 1 mils of the United States to Ur iinesb-ails tor American citizen and set : era, not aliens, which the rei-aMtean party is'ah isbod ill 18G2 against t he p.TS s: cut op ..sition wf democrats in coin r s-. and which as brought our great wi stern d in in into o i luagiiificen development The resto .-. linn of unearned r.ittro id land traiits to the public domain for the nse of actual set- ( al industry and indispensable resource nocent settlers with spies and prosecutions under the false pretense of exposing fraud and vindicating the law. The govt rninent by congress of the terri tories is based upon necessity only to the end that they may become states in the Union; therefore whenever the conditions of population, material resources, and public intelligence and morality are such as to in sure a stable local government therein, the people of such territories should be permit ted as a right inherent in them to form for themselves constitutions and state govern ments and be admitted into the uniou. Pen ding the preparation for statehood all ofii Cera thereof should be selected from resi dents and citizens of the territory wherein they are to serve. South Dakota should of right immediately be admitted as a state in the Onion, under the constitution framed ami adopted by her people, and We heartily indorse the action of the republican senate in twice passing hiils for her admission. The refusal of the democratic house of representatives, for par tisan purposes, to consider tin se bills is a wi i li nl violation of the sacretl American principles rif h tea self-government, and mer its the condemnation ot all just men. The pending hills in the senate for acts to enable the people of Washington, of North Dakota and Montana territories to form con stitutions and establish state governments, should be passed without unnecessary de lay. The republican party pledges itself to do all in its power to faci.iate the admission of the territoiies of ,"gv Mexico, Wyoining Icaho and Arizona to the enjoyment of self, government as states, such of ttiein as are now qualified as soon as possible, and the others as soon as the become so. The political power of the Mormon church in the. territories, as exercised in the past, is a menauce to free institutions and too dangerous to be long suffered. Therefore, we nledtre the republican party to appropri ate legislation asserting the sovereignty of; the nation in all territories where the I same is questioned; and in furtherance of i that end, to place upon the statute hooks I le, isbitioii stringent, enniwh to divorce! thepoiitical from the ecclesiastical power, and thus stamp out the attendant wicked ness of polygamy. The republican party is in favor of the use of both gob! and silver as money, and con demns the policy- of the democratic adminis tration ill its effort to demonetize silver. We demand a reduction of letter postage to 1 cent. In a lepublie like ours where the citizen j is the sovereign, and the official the servant, j where no power is exercised except by the ! will of the people, it is important that the! sovereign, the people, should possess iutel- iigence. The free school is the promoter of ; that intelligence w hich is to preserve us aj free nation. Therefore, state or national I power, or both combined, should support; free institutions of learning sufficient to af-! f..rd to ev. ry child growing ty in the land ' the opportunity of a good common school I education. We earnestly recommend that prompt action be taken by congress in the enactment of such legislation as will best secure the; rehabilitation of our American merchant marine, md we protest against the passage j by congress ot the free snip bill as calcuht- j ted to work injustice to labor by lessening I the wag. 8 of those engaged ill preparing ma-1 terials as well as those directly employed in j our shipyards. We dem mil appropriations for the early' building of our navy, for the construction of i coast fortifications antl modem ordinance, j and other approved modern means of de-j tense for the protection of our defenseless! harbors and cities; for the payment ol just; pensions to our sohlu-rs; tor other works ot national importance in the improvement of harbors and channels, and internal, coast wise and foreign commerce; and for the encouragement of the shipping interests of the Atlantic, gulf and Pacific states, as well! as for the payment of the maturing public j debt. This K:icv will give employment to our labor, activity to .-ur various industries, 1 increast the security of our country, pro-1 mote prosper. ty. of en new markets for our produce, and cheapen toe cost of tratispcr-J cation We affirm this, to lie far better for our country than the democratic policy of! loaning tile government's money without ii. terest to "pet hanks.'1 The conduct of foreign affairs by the pres ent administration litis becu hurting us by its inefficiency and cowanlice. Having withdrawn from the senate all pending treaties effected by the republican adminis tration lor the removal ot foreign burdens ami restrictions upon onr commerce and for its extension into better markets, it has neither effected nor proposed any others in their stead Professing adherence to the Monroe doctrine, it has seen, with idle complacency, the extension of foreign in fluence in Central America and of foreign trade everywhere among our neighbors, i has reilised to charter, sanction or en- any American org-.i.tzati-ui for the , oos --'icii-.ii of the -.v -tk of vital impi.r tlltC oi the Moilloe. tional Am ri of i rat It- w 1 1 lcai.ds and furti ocean. We are indebted to tip present b in crit ic administration for its weak and unpatri otic treatment of the fisheries treaty question, and its pusillanimous surrender ..I the essential privileges to which our fishing vessels are entitled iu Canadian perls under ti e treaty of ISIS, the rccip rocal maritime legislation of 183U and the jomiry of nations, and which Canadian fish ii-g vessels receive in the ports of the United Siat. s. We condemn the policy of the present administration and of the demo cratic majority in congress toward our fish eries as unfriendly and conspicuously nn patriotic, and astendiug to destroy a nation - ol tiuseof honest government, of sound finance, if freedom aud purity of ballot, but especi diy have deserted the cause of reform in ivil service. We will not fail to keep onr edges because they have broken theirs, or ecause their candidate has broken his. e therefore repeat our declaration of 1880 o-wit: "The reform of the civil service, anspicu usly began under a republican adnnnistra ion, should be completed by the f arther ex tension of the reform system, alieadv estab isli. d by law, to all grades of the service to which ir is applicable. The spirit and pur pose of reform should be observed in all executive appointments, and all law-s at var iance With the objects of existing reform legislation should be repealed, to the end i hat dangers to free institutions, which lurk in the pow er of official patronage, may be wisely and effectively avoided." The gratitude of the nation to the de fenders of the Union cannot be measured by laws. The legislation of congress should conform to the pledges made by the loyal people, and to be so enlarged and extended as to provide against a possibility that any man who wore federal uniform should be come an inmate of an almshouse or liecome dependent on private charity in the presence of an overflowing treasury. It would he a public scandal to do less for those whose valorous service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President Cleveland m tits numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the democratic house of representatives in refusing even the consideration of general pension legislation. The first concern of allgood government is the virtue of sobriety of the people ami the purity of the home. The republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of tem per nee and morality. In support of the p-ineiples herein enun ciated, we invite the co-operation of patriot ic men whose prosperity is seriously threat ened by the free trade policy of the present administration. FASCINATION OF COUNTERFEITING. Mjfliience n tea. and uece taraguan cviial. taice to the mainie;, doctrme ami ill our na i Cen'r-i an 1 S.tu wiry ior ti.e iLeveX'pmeiirt America and with the coast of riie i.eifi'j That old saying, "once a counter feiter always a counterfeiteiy' is true in 999 cases out of 1,000. There is a fascination about the manufacture of spurious coin that when a man follows it for awhile and gets rid of his stuff he becomes bolder, until he is finally captured. Long years ot imprisonment do not seem to wear out the ardor for the counterfeit mold. There is counterfeiting carrjed on in a mild degree all over the country. We find the young "cross roads" man making a little occasionally with his plaster of paris molds, and then we find that some stereotyper lias applied his art with papier mache and turned out a very good looking dollar made of type metal. By the stereotyping process a better milled dollar is secured than by any other process, but that class of men very seldom go beyond the experimental stage. They may make one or two, and then find they can do so and quit through fear. Starvation sometimes drives a man into the business of making spurious coins, but this is not often. The case is very rare that a counter feiter ever escapes detection; in fact, at this age of the world it is simply iniposible for them to es cape for any length of time. Globe Democrat, TAKE NOTIOE; On the first day of October, 1888; will be the end 6f the twelve months that The Gazette has been' in the hands of the present, man agers and publishers. .

We charge the democratic administration with failure to xet-ute the laws peenrieg to settlers their title to homesteads and with using appro priations made for that-purpose to harass ill- defense agaiust a foreign enemy. "The name American applies alike to all citizens of the lepublie, and imposes on all alike the same obligation of obedience to the laws. At the same time that citizenship should and must be the panoply and safe guard of him who wears it, and protect him. whether high or low. rich or poor, in all his cival rights. It should and must afford him protection at home and follow him and pro tect him abroad in whatever land he may be on a lawful errand.'' Men who abandoned the republican party in 1884, and continue to adhere to the demo cratic party, have deserted, not only the THE DRUMMER GOT LEFT. A Scotch story is that of a di minutive drummer in a local brass band, who was in the habit, when out parading with his comrades, of walking by sound and not by sight, owing to his drum being so high that he was unable to see over it, The band, on Saturday afternoons, paraded usually in one direction, but the other day the leader thought he would change the route a little, and turned down a by street. The drummer, unaware ot this movement, kept on his accus tomed way, drumming as hard as ever he could. By and by, after finishing his part and not hearing the others, he stopped, and, push ing his drum aside, he looked to see what was the matter. His astonishment may be imagined at finding that he was alone. "Hae!" he cried to some bystanders, "has ony o' ye seen a band herea boot?" Argonaut, A GOOSE STORY.' "When I was in Alabama, be'" tween Porter's Gap and Miller ville," said a gentleman living at Atlanta, "I came to a country place where a man was drivit. ten or twelve geese from a branch' toward a cotton patch. 'For heaven's sake,' said I, 'what is it' you have on the necks of those' geese?' 'Those are gourds, lull of water. I drive these geese into' that cotton patch and keep th em4 there all day weeding out the cof ton. There is no water in tha cotton patch, and I have to" give" them water in this way to keep' them there.' 'But how do' thev get the water out of those gcUrdv' under their necks?' "They drink out of each other's -gourds. .Each gourd has an opening in the Rido so that another goose can put his bill into the gourd and drink. .It you will stay here long enough you1 will see it yourself.' I waited1 there half a day to see that per formance, and finally I saw it The geese did just as" the man' said they would. When a goose got thirsty he walked up to hi-' neighbor and cooly drank out ot the gourd on his neck." Atlanta Journal. A TEXAS MIDOET.
