Benson, of Liberty Probate Judge, 1. W. Jackson, of l.ongton District, W.J. Talior, of Greenfield, ft Is needless to say that the hole outfit will be snowed under in November. Klk Falls is becoming noted for its festivals.

Tbey have one each week, and make lots of money out of every Festival. They resort to every device by which to induce the inexperienced as well as the bad portion of the community to part with what loose change they possess. At first tho inducements oil'e'red were in the shape of cake, notions, prize packages aud other devices, usually introduced bv church fairs, but at th" last oiio they caine boldly out with the old gambling fortune box, filled with envelopes, some of which were claimed to contain prizes of various kinds. There have been hundreds of men arrested and lined for the use of this envelope gambling device, still tbey are not too bad to be used iu order to obtain money for churches. We do not object to churches nor their advancement hut they are surely hard pushed for funds when they will resort lo such methods of obtaining money.

Whenever a reform Is wrought in this matter of church begging, the sooner the ministry ill have license lor abusing the for their doyyuward course. To which party does ha belong? Kd. Hew-ins was noniluutcil for the position of State Senator from this district, at a Democratic convention held In this city on Tuesday of this week, and his loyally vouched for. lit was also nominated lor the same position at the Greenback Senatorial convention hold at Elk Falls on Ihe same day, and his loyalty to tiie party was vouched for' at that convention. Now, Mr.

Ilewins may comprise all the virtues of both of these parties, but it is to be hoped thai he does not also comprise all their sins, 'i lie question we wanted answered was this If he is a Greenbackcr, how can the llenioerats endorse him except on the theory oT "anything to beat Grant?" If he is a Democrat, 'how can the Greenbaekers endorse him when at the same time their Lord and Master, Mitchell, is abusing tiie financial principles of Ihe Democratic parly in unmeasured terms? This kind of business may be easily understood by the crowd which is pushing Mr. Hewing forward, but it will never be choked down the intelligent voters of the 2lth senatorial District. Mr. Longwill be elected iu spite of all the cooin and wooing. Stationery at Frank M.
