GSy@lt was amusing to notice the discon-
soate look on the faces Of the "hayseeds'
in the gallery of Timm's Hall last night
1t was a fine group with the postmaster
as the central fignre, while on each side
could be discerned the meek and lowly
followers Of the Boss
! Hl~Y esterday workmen were engaged
moving the frame building formerly
occupied by Deere's plow works as bend
ing shop. The foundation for a fine brick
building to occupy the site T the old cne,
IS now being laid The work will be com
pleted this fall Tom Wirsing has the
contract for the brick work J G. Sails
bury will do the wood work. When com
pleted it will add to the appearance Of this
mammoth manufacturing establishment.
I gag@It is oi DO manner of account what
the Union says ahoat the Democratic
meeting last night, nor does any one care
particularly. so long as it confines itself to
the truth, but when it proceeds to dish up
lot of trash about ''c0pperocracy slim
attendance etc, it wiltully and de!iber-
ately falsifies and instead of making friends
will only still more firmly convince Impair
tial readers that ii is absolutely reckless as
to facts. The howl it sends up this morn
ing sounds like the last yell of dying
party, with the local Of the Union as the
principal mourner.
