resume if this amount is doubled? This
proposition to double the amount of
gnlenbacks is an indefinite postpone
ihent OF return to specie payments, and
nands over to an accidental majority in
Congress the control of the value and
volume OF our currency, our medium of
exchange. This would be too great a
power, and would make every mans
business contracts subject to the will of
congress. We don't want government
interference In tliis matter any more
than we can help, as non-interference
Will tend to educate the citizen to help
himself
In concluding his speech Senator Bay
ard enumerated, in addition to the above
named disorders, the decline in iron ship
Dmlulng, carriage manufacturing and
other industries as tending to produce
much OF the depression that exists. He
asked that the ancient landmarks of hon
est money shall not be removed, and urg-
ell the people to do all in their power to
STIMULATE home production. He claimed
that retrenchment, economy and tariff
reform were the remedies for the present
depression, and that the application of
these or other remedies really existed in
the people. In conclusion, he spoke of
the great duty of the people, and of the
effect of early home Influences on the
minds of children who are to grow up
ami control the destnies of the country
ana OF the power of the mo hers of the
land to properly mould and direct the
characters of the children in their care,
IN which respect they have almost di-
rect responsibility over the tone of the
nation.
The speech occupied over two hours in
its dehvery, and was attentively listened
to from beginning to end. During its
progress the speaker quoted Kberally
from Daniel Webster and Macaulay, to
show the evils that invariably follow the
use OF an irredeemable paper currency.
THE DINNER.
After Mr.. Bayard's speech recess was
declared, and the subject OF dinner then
engrosSed the attention of all on the
grounds. The ladies of the church had
prepared very handsome dinner, but as
the crowd present far exceeded their Ia
Die accommodations, the getting of din
ner was slow process to those who had
to wait. However, there was plenty to
eat, and the tables were kept busy from
u O'Clock until late in the afternoon.
Many who could not find accommoda-
tions at the dinner table went to Charley
Groome's ice-cream stand, where they
substituted their expected dinner with
good lce-cream and some OF Mrs. G. Is
delicious homemade cake of various va
rieties, which fully satisfied the cravings
OF hunger and made an admirable sub
stitute for regular dinner.
REV. MIR. BRISTOR's ADDRESS
After allowing people ample time to
take dinner and thoroughly rest them
selves, the music of the band again called
them to the stand for another intellectual
treat. Rev. George r. Bristor, pastor of
the M. e. Church at New Castle, was in
troduced, and for nearly an hour favored
his hearers with an eloquent and glowing
disquisition upon the Christian coucep-
ton Of manhood. With eloquent terms
he described the duties of man in his
earthly career, and with brilliant meta
phor, and language portraying the high
est and holiest thoughts he pictured the
manhood of the future State With ruth
less hand he stripped aside the religious
romance OF state of heavenly ease-a
celestial existence with silvered wings
and golden harps-and showed the man
OF the futurity as continuation of earth
ly existance, but magnified and inspired
by the spirit of the Divinity and filling
the highest tpye of a Christian manhood,
i'll fellowship with Christ and God. The
address was one of rare power aud beau
ty, one of which synopsis would be an
injustice, and it was listened to with
breathless interest, by every one within
the sound of the speakers voice.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bristor's ad-
dress the meeting adjourned, and soon
the people dispersed to their different
homes, after having passed delightful
day, unmarried by the slightest depress
ing circumstance.
