We tender to the happy pair our
sincere congratulations and hope
their wedding day was one which
will ever be looked back to by them
with feelings of unalloyed pleasure.
May their life-berks Joined together
by the ties of love, float calmly and
qnietlydown the atmm of time;
may no storms raffle the quiet happi-
ness or their lives, Jf storms do
ceroe upon them and sorrows and
disappointment yimlt their happy
home may they only verve to unite
more firmly their hearts. Lyle our
the days when we fought for some of
the cardinal principles that were
oace the main planks in its platform.
We believe that the time for a change
In the rulers of the nation baa nearly
arrived and that the ides of Novem-
ber will witness e democratic victory
if that party does its duty. If we
fell to do our duty sod leave design-
ing politicians to do the work of
selecting candidates and placing
them upon platforms toll of glitter-
ing generalities and remarkable for
nothing but the utter abeeuce of
Jim and independent principle then
defeat will once more be ours, and
the '‘stalwart radicals” will, for
tour years longer, hold a carnival of
corruption. Let the damocratto press
and the mass of the party display
a little more iadependence of thought
and speech and the party will be in
a tor more healthy oonditlon. Let
na quit bottling of the past—it is
dead. Let us think only of the
present and study only of the' to tore
that yet Use out before ue. If our
leaders think that with the cry of
party they oan force the preee either
to give a warm support to their
measures, or at least muxxle them
so that thsy will not oppose them,
1st ns show them their mistake. To
be independent is not to ba as some
ft onr brethren seem lo tSlok, radi-
cals or greenbacks™, bat is simply
to stand where wa oan choose for

principles without asking the leave
