The great Madison Square, N. Y., Success,
i, would create a

fallacious arguments that the con-
sumer does not pay tbe tariff tax
was so clearly exposed that no
honest man could fail to see it. T. en
he went on to show that there was
sitv (pr such an exhorbitanf
as the present tariff pro-
! vide*, and which had its origin dur-
ing the war. There is now in the
l nited States treasury a surplus of
i^one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars'? (id, it is increasing at the -
rate of $S,ooo s' month. - Jheo,

exactly the reverse ot tbe truth, J
that the laborer and not the I

country where there is ooe who

the republican view of It, nine-tenths
of the working people are sacrificed
to benefit one-tenth. No proposi-
tion could well be more preposterous.
But the truth is Captain Brown was
too liberal in bis estimate; there is
not to exceed one man in thirteen '

NO BLUFF.
Democratic Rally at Shiloh.
Wednesday evening, in company
with Judge Gilbert, fudge Moseley
and Judge Cook, of Denison, we
had the pleasure ol attending a
large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Shiloh Democratic Club. Col.
T. J. Crooks and Judge Nevins
were also present at the meeting.
After the transaction of some busi-
ness by the club Judge Moseley was
introduced to the audience by Dr. J.
L. Jones president of the club, and
he proceeded to address them upon
the leading natiorjfi issues, particu-
larly the tariff. Judge Moseley
spoke about an hour and fifteen
minutes and handled his subject in
an interesting and masterly manner.
Col. Crooks was then brought for-
ward, and addressed the meeting in
his usual happy, off-hand style. He
reviewed the history of the leading
and many of the smaller political
parties since the founding of the
government, then paid hi* respects
to the latest craze in political side-
shows, the pie-bald conglomeration
known as the non-partizans, showed
up the sectional character of the
Republican tariff bill and made
many splendid political bits tnxr
kept his audience in a roar of
plause and lav,r,,wm» discussed the
political candidate ot the parties,
and paid some glowing tributes to
the character of Grover Cleveland. 1
Discussing his administ'ation he
showed that an honest tffort had
been made to relieve tie people
from every burden now oppressing
them. Precinct candidates br justice
of the peace were then intoduced. j

came forward and mad brief

It’s hard to tell whether Brother
Muiray, of the Gazetteer, ia a
democrat or republican. He pub-
lished republican campaign litera-
ture, and although he was a delegate
to the democratic nominating con-
vention and agreed to support the
nominees, yet at the head ol the edi-
torial column of the Gazetteer i*
only the partial ticket. He is evi-
dently a democrat for revenue only.
—Evening Dispatch.
Brother Murray's democracy may
not be ol the same kind as that of
the young man who does the politi-
cal paragraphing on the Dispatch.
It his democracy- demands a refusal
to pub'ish only his own political
views, and a studious suppression of
the arguments of his adversaries,
then in truth there is a wide differ-
ence between us. Those who have
known “Brother Murray” the long-
est will not question either his
democracy or his honesty because
Mr. A. J. Reynolds, formerly a
resident of Denison, but now living
at Randolph, Texas, was in the city
last Wednesday, and paid'the Gaz-
etteer a pleasant call. During
the course of conversation he related
how he had been cured of chills by
Dr. Brownfield. Mr. Reynolds said
he had been having chills and fever
off and on for more than a year,
and that hehjid tried all sorts of
paterrtrwedTcines, but had never
iiecn benefited. lie happened to
see Dr. Brownfield’s advertisement
'n the Gazetteer, in which that
gentleman offered to give one hund-
red dollars for a case ot chills he
could not cure, and put it down as
a bluff, hut, like the drowning man
who^catches at straws, he thought
he would give the doctor a whirl.
A chill came on opportunely to test
Dr. Brownfield’s skill, and straight-

An interesting incident at the
opera house last Wednesday- night,
before Capt. Brown commenced his
address, was the presentation of a
life-size bust of President Grover
Cleveland to the Democratic Club.
The gift was from Mr. W. W. Bos-
tick, of the Gate City jewelry house.
The presentation speech was made
by Mr. A. U. Person, and the gift
was received, on behalf of the Club,
by S. A. Gilbert, Esq. Mr. Gilbert
improved the occasion to briefly
review the life and public services of
Mr. Cleveland, and closed bv paying
a glowing tribute to his patriotism,
his integrity and popularity as jtbr
devoted leader of a greatparty^eek-

to be the only state in the Union

taxes.
In describing the tariff question
he paid enough attention to Dr.
Acheson’s speech to show the utter
ridiculousness and palpable un-
truthfulncs* of his statements, argu-
ments and conclusions. For instance,
the Doctor said the collector esti-
mates that Denison pays taxes on in-
toxicating liquors to the amount ot
$54,000, not including beer. Capt.
Brown called attention to tbe fact
that it this was true, then on tbe fair |
I estimate that there are two thousand
men in Denison, they must each
consume thirty gallons of whiskey a
year, rquivab-nt to seven drinks a
day. But the fact is this tax is not
on what Denison consumes, but
what is sold in Denison, including
the sales of the wholesale houses
and what is shipped out hy retail j
dealers of the city or consumed by j
visitors. Doctor Acheson omitted
this explanation. The Captain then
proceeded to show that the tariff tax
far excelled this whiskey Ux of the
