Truly the administration of the Republican party has been remarkable. Everything' has been done to convert the machinery government iuto a machinery for the advancement of the Republican parry. The census authorities are <;uttiug into pre1 ry bad <?rder. The census oi' New Y >r? has bret; 'alien by '.he municipal authorities and the p?pulation is 11)7,214 mure than that re- j parted br the Federal cen.-us. It is strikingly strange that the Democratic j States and cities have shown no in- { crease in population since 1SS0, while j !..* <tutm ?tn? riti^s hlVe I liJC gained enormously. Something is I wro#g, a id fiere i* some very strong j evidence i? .-how that Mr. Porter hts i beou working for the welfare of the | Republic iti party. KfRinlfj Prier*. The Xational Democrat iukes up the usual articles of merchandise and showi how the coats of living is in- j creased by the McKinley tariff' bill. Throughout the whole bill it will be % . seen that the bill id a gigantic boom for the trust. The price of paints aud oil hare been greatly increased. Linseed oil his advanced, in the lust two years, from i>S to 62 cents per gallon, and under the present tariff bill vrill go even higher, yet the manufacturers themselves *ay tiier do not neeu pro-1 tection on these article*. j Flannels go up about ten points. Glass has been steadily rising since j th* bill was tirst reported. Canned <;oods advance from lo to j 25 per cent over the rate this lime last year. Druirs are likewise expected to ri?e. Dry goods will make a decided jump, especially fancy ^oads. Duties have been rai?ed all the way frem 7 to 273A percent, and corresponding prices mty be a peeled. JBras< runs up about 20 per cent, while ivory is taxed 50 percent against tbe old tarifi' of 22 per cent, so ivory will, of course, tin*. Jersey cUth, ribbon*, velvets, French underwear, 1 silk and wow! hosiery, s wo*l cashmeres, are expected to advance next year from 10 to 30 per cent. The ordinary clothing worn;by men andjwoinen will increase iti cost from 25 to 50 per ccntnure than under the t . ? il* oiu uinu. The Odhqm Fraud. The complaint* concerning the fraudulent enumeration* are vetting wor>e and worse. 'I he following on tne subject will be interesting: the basis of the official counts #o iar, in about seren-eightu of the Supervisoiv districts of the United States, it appears that the population of the country will fall under 63.COO,0(0, an increase of only 12,500,000, ?r about 234 ner cent, since 1830. Deducting ^ from ihis increase 5.242,530, the number of emigrants iHiided on our shores f?ince 1880. it would make h natural increase of 7,300,000, or 134 percent. A UK MA UK ABLE FALLING OFF.

We are new enacting "the political suicide of a split." Your bolt was the opening scene in this tragedy. You and those associated wiih you achieved the distinction of making here in Fairfield the tirst breach in the ranks of the Democracy in this State. Your revolt against the lawful and recognized Democracy of our county and organization ef another party were instigated by purely partisan purposes and a deliberate preconcerted plot to destroy it if found necessary to their accomplishment. Failing to capture our constitutional organization with utter disregard of your party obligations and no consideration whatever for the true interest of our county and its people, you, in your blind partisan zeal, formed your independent array relying on partisan power outside to sustain you in your reckless, suicidal action. Your claim to recognition a* Democrats, or as oilier than bolters or independents, can be traced to no lawful authority of the constitutional Democracy of Fairfield, but is llie reward claimed by you and accordea to you by an arbitrary partisan majority outside of the county for headlong, inconsiderate, partisan service inside. Your organization i> a present to us from outside and there i? the shadow of the "Trojan Horse" on it.

The more it is accepted by our people the greater the havoc will be; and there can be uo security for our rights and liberties or hope for the ability to control our own affairs until it is cast out from among us. But the evils of this first breach in the ranks of the Democracy are unhappily not confined to our countv. The dictatorial exercise of unlawful potter ; rt q'iired to meet your demand on the panisan majority of the tftate Convention to convert your palpable Independentism into regular and ineritori| ou< Democracy has exposed to view the wolt in the Democratic tola. .WideMilt II IIBJlsi i'or its safety was excited and a manly protect treated with arrogant contempt lias become a bold and earnest independent movement to check the incursions of the wolf, 10 resist the assaults of the brute force of a majority on constitutional authority. In the pres1 ent statu* of the State organization, if i iimnedi;>tc resistance is necessary, an independent movement is necessary as the only possible means by which it can be made. The State Democratic organization was captured by the Farmers' Movement organization, and though their control from the outset was made by nn intolerant nrrotrauce towards the minority $uch as no brave military conqueror would exhibit to captives in war, and hy acts of lawlessness and usurpation, in contempt of Democratic authority and Democratic officials, their title to pessession lias beer: made Ie?aK by the action of our official?. When they, for what they deemed the best interests of the party and State, and in the hope of allaying strife and t-eeunnsr harmony, made a formal kin render of their charge, they transferred the authority of the party to 4 1 ~ ? l.z-v Urw3 in; r\r\trr???

The result of it ail is thnt \vc hare the anomaly of an ind?*peiii.l<?nr movement against the conduct of the Slate Democratic organization tor, what ilie moveis hi-lifve to be, the very 1 i:"e ot" true Democracy. The "Farmers' Movement" on the extreme was an effort to save true Democracy by assailing1 its organiz ation, ana uie result so iu.r m us success is not calculated to inspire confidence in the conservative eflect of another attacic on the organization from the extreme. Where is the partv if its organization is destroyed? We ha! more sound democracy, aim truer io principle, in the State up to -70 than since, but it was utterly incapable of effecting good, any positive good until [ it was organized. It seem-to me the part> of conservatism to maintain the j authority of the organization even to j the extent of enduring irregularities | and violations of its constitution at least v until an effort can be made wiihin the party limits to correct them?every b <>!t, nowever meritorious its purpose, weakens the organization, impairs its authority and power to correct error or do good. Xo bolt is justifiable until it become necessary ror the public good:? destroy the party. To y*itr holt and organization here in Fail field, the first breach in the Democratic line and the consequent stretch of power by the. t>tate Convention in its elfn t to thiotile and wipe out lite regular constitutional Democracy of a county and impose your Independenti.-m on it as its Democratic orgttHizatiou may be attributed primarily and mainly the possibility oi such an anomaly a* no.v exists in j the State. In our county no Independent movenient is needed to save true Democracy. It is only necessary for our people to stand by their regular Democratic organization which is still ia existence, meeting arrogant assumptions wit' the contempt which they deserve a.id quietly maintaining its principles. It* colors, around wliick we have all rallied with a common zeal and ardor, aad which we in solid array hare borne so proudly and irresistibly to results of inestimable benefit to our county and ourselves, are still tiring quietly but as proudly and as worthy an emblem of liberty as they ever were before any att?mp was made by the brute force of an outside majority to dishonor and de" rfldft them. Thev have never been ? furled or surrendered to unlawful assumptions of authority outsid# or inside of our comity, and I trust never will be?thcv may go down in a utoria of passion and be trampled in the dust, j but it "trill be the dust of our ruin, .^o long as they are upheld, there is * I pleading appeal frem the *ystes? of J degrading and brutalizing partisan | strife and a call to duty which is a | veritable bugle-blast of Liberty sum- j naoning the true sons of Fairlield to her service. They are to be found on both sides of the line that unfortunately divide# us. Those of us who carried away by ardor and zeal for the candidates of their choice abandoned them have it in their power now to render inestimable service to their county and themselves by obeying such summons. And now, that the object of their bolt, the nomination of their candidate, is accomplished, how couici nicy oeuer jjrvjiivLc ms ciccuwn j than by securing1 Democratic harmouv.! Those of us wlif> have stood hy our ; old colors can with a clear conscience i yield to the partisan majority of a State Conveniion on a question ot nomination*, but they cannot without violence to their consciences, ?ubmil to the actioj of mch a majority in the matter of our local wrganization. It was framed and adopted by us (if for one purpose more than another it was) to restrain partisan strife and in fact . settle it. And so effective is it an asrencT for that purpose, that strife cannot be pushed to a pernicious ex-1 tent as Jong as its constitution is re- j spected, and rules and regulation* are complied with. In a word it requires a bolt to stir strife to the extent of seriously affecting the interests of our county and wellare of our?elves. It we thould abandon it and concede to the t>tat? Convention the power to change for partisan purpose.* our county organization, its stability and usefulness will be destroyed and it will become a mere mischievous agency for reckless, unscrupulous, and defeasing partisanship. Our stable old constitutional qrgam-1 zation is our only hope for the rescue I of our county from distracting discord i and ruin. Respectfully \oura, John Buatton*. GAGGING FREEgPKKCH.

Tne hour has miely arrived in the politics of our country when every vote tnust consult his own conscience. We cannot support Mr Tillman because we are unalterably opposed to the blind cretd of his party, which we believe to be subversive of the plainest principles of civil liberty. We cannot support him because we think that he has demonstrated his persona! uulitnuss for the high office to which he a-pires, by every word which he has uttered irom the March Convention to the Gall'iiey speech; from his first exhibition of robust egotism, t? his last wicked charge of business against the managers ot the election. lie has belittled the history of the State, and published to the world groundless charges of venality and fraud, against our own people, in season and out of sea?on and in shame less defiance of common decency and public boner. The newspapers suppress it, and the politicians deplore it, but It is a fact ail the same that the Haskell movement is growing every day. The news from Democratic headquarters in Columbia from every i county in the State, indicates clearly j that the ticket will be elected by an ; overwhelming majority. Mr. Tillman contributes to its success every time that he speaks. The meeting called by Irbv commit-1, tee lor tkis county or yesterday was a sort of "a flash in the pan." Jt was poorly attended.

An Old Sore Healed. I had a painful, annoying sore on mr leg-, near the knee, that troubled I me for over two years. I tried various ! remedies, but the sore, instead of healing up, continued to grow larger, and to cause ine more pain until I began to look for a crutch. Through the advice of a friend, who was curcd of a similar trouble, I took S. S. S., ani in a few weeks was cured entirely. The sore healed up, and there is net even a scar left to mark the place.
