DEMOCRATIC TICKET. r Stats Treasurer, STEPHEN G. SHARPK. FOR STATU JEVATOX, R. J. HRliCKlNRIDGE, OK DOYl.C. For Representative, Lincoln County, RICHARD C. WAKKKN. Call for Committee Meeting. The members of the democratic county committee are urgently requested to meet at my olliee in Stanford, Saturday, July 111th, nt 'J o'clock to consider matters of irrent importance to the party, T. U. NKWLAND.Ch'll. Rei.ow will be found the Oth plank of the prohibition-woman sufl'rage platform adopted in National Convention at Indianapolis, May JSlst, 1SSS, as no member of the party will have the hardihood to deny: "That the ripht of Biiflrnpo rests.on no mere accident of race, color, kk. or nationality, and that where, from any cause, it has been withheld from citizens who are of suitable age and mentally and morally qualified for the exorcise of an intelligent ballot, it should be restored by the people though the legislatures of the several States on such uasjs as they may deem wise." This is clearly n declaration for wo man suffrage and lor an educational qualification for the exercise of the right to vote. In other words it proposes to give women the right to cast the ballot and to take it from uneducated folksnnd negroes. When Bro. Montgomery accepted the nomination for the , legislature, lie distinctly said he was the candidate of the prohibition paity, which had cut loose entirely from all i other parties. This necessarily implied that he endorsed that party's platform and stood squarely upon its declaration of principles, by which a party is only known. Finding, however, that woman suffrage is decidedly unpopular i with tho sensible people of Lincoln county, we are told by Ins friends that ue has recinted lus position ttlV4 re alleged party, when, for the sake of a few votes, he repudiates the most important part of his party's declaration of principles. A consistent ineuilwr of the prohibition party is bound to endorse, defend and uphold the monstrous proposition of woman suffrage and he who does not is unworthy of the name or the party's support. prize fight was the finest exhibition of the manly art ever witnessed in this country, and so far as the reports show, about the fairest. The party outwitted the' governors nnd the memorable event took place on Mississippi's sacred soil, without let or hin tactics, hoping thereby to get his antagonist out of wind, but it was no go nnd when nt last his seconds saw there was no chance for him and threw up the sponge, he sat down and cried like u (hild. Both men were pretty badly used up, Kilrnin being severely injured. Two of his ribs are broken and he is fearfully disfiguied on the face and head. Over .'5,000 people witnessed tlfe battle and paid from $15 to ftO for the privilege, the purse and gate money being worth $20,000 to Sullivan. It was n brutal exhibition, which it is well that the law frowns upon, but if it has to be done, it is well that it was so well done. Brio. Ballol handed in another article for publication, but as it is mainly devoted to a sickly attempt at sarcasm, after we have plainly and politely answered all his questions, we must to burden our columns wth i:. When the political pirson wants to print something that is of some wo will give him space, but when he wishes to take a column merely to get off some stale stuff about the editor's profound erudition nnd hU propensity to use the word "ass," when that word is about the only decent one that can bo used in describing a ceitain .class of idiots, we must respectfully decline his productions. Gkn. Biiaoo'h 'O. A. It. post has expelled him by a practically unanimous vote. It was done simply because he U a democrat and the incident is another proof of the malignant partisanship of this Attachment of the republican party. Gen. Bragg commanded the Iron during the war and n more gallant federal ofllcor was not developed than The sensible democratic bird will not be caught with the chaff" the political parsons are baiting thorn with. In no state of caso can Montgomery be elected nnd even if such a thing were possible, he could do less than nothing in the legislature. Dick Warren will represent Lincoln county in that body and he will do so in such a manner as to reflect cred it upon her. lie II ue np notcu on a stick, but will be able to do something of value both to his State nnd county. Let tho shoemaker stick to his last and Hro. Montgomery to his business of saving souls and trading in mules and he may bo able to do some good both for the public and his family. The Chairman of tho National Greenback party, in order to keep the people from forgetting there ever was such a party has issued an invitation to nil persons who desire to aid in reorganizing that concern, to meet in their respective States or Congressional districts on or before September 4 next, and appoint one delegate nnd one alternate to attend tho National Greenback Convention in Cincinnati on September 12 next. Better let the old thing sleep. There can never be but two parties in this country that will survive any length of time. The prohibition party w.'ll be deader than a door nail by the next presidential election. Windo.u lins decided not to continue the use of steam plate presses in the bureau of engraing nnd printing, but to substitute hand presses in obedience to the demands of the typo graphical upion. The government had alrendy purchased 20 new stenm presses for the work, which did it better than the old way, and these are to be laid a.ido simply to give more men employment and increase the republican vote a dozen or so. The government is not run white on business principles when the cans are in charge. The tiring oil oi the alleged big guns in this county to-morrow would imply that the republicans believe that they have some chance of carrying it. Such a belie' is founded on the assumption that democrats only are political renegades, ready to barter their birthright for a measly mess' of potage prepared by sundry im- nracticables and cranks. W e are satis tied, however, that they will be mistak en and that no democmt with even a I slight claim to anagosity will be led from I C- i 111 1 mt lmiUB " ""' " tr""' pudiated one of the mosf distinguishing features of that party.

That's all heproposesto i do. It will still be with the people, who cm either vote or not vote on the question, as they see proper. Thvt the prohibition law has done some good in this count', we have admitted and personally we are for giving.it further trial At the same time we can see no objection from a democratic or any other standpoint, to amending the law so that it can be rejected by the vote of the people if they unit it fails to accomplish its purpose ort proves a dead letter. drance. Tho mill lasted two hours nnd i The political parsons think that 18 minutes, during which 75 rounds they can lead their churches into the fold were fought, Sullivan winning, though of the prohibition party, but that's where he acknowledged Kilrnin had given him they make a mistake.

Gov. MlCkkaiiy answered .Mr. Col-eon's speech at Shelbyvllle and when he was through the young man from Pine-ville felt like he had gone through n threshing machine. Don't monkey with a buz, saw is advice Mr. Colson seems to have ignored, if he ever heard it. among the old Scotchman's friends, whose mine is Legion, to know that the likelihood of his living to serve out his term grows smaller every day. A fruit accepting the Senatorial nom in the 20th district, Hon. A. T. Chenault went home nnd wrote a card declining to make the race.
