Jay Gould and Norven Green, the
president of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, are solid for Cleve-
land. This isn't because these men
are monopolists, 0, no. The monop-
olists all belong to the Republicans.
We suspect the true reason is that
they have become so used to "water-
ing" their stock that they can't stand

Sing a song of free trade,
A bale of foreign goods;
Nothing in it home made,
Nothing in it good.
When the bale was opened,
The Democrats did shout,
AS Roger Mills and Watterson
Pulled bandanas out;
Writing pension vetoes,
Was Grover all the while;
Along came Ben Harrison
And knocked him half-a-mile.

they say that the Maine lumbermen

That democratic "grindstone tur-

hardly deserves it. AS piece of in.
consistency and as model of brazen-
faced lying it takes the cake. We
learn that it is being largely circula-

theory that placing wool on the free
list will enhance it's value to the pro-
Queer. Wonderful But if this be
so what is to become of Cleveland's
argument, that the farmer could make
up his loss on wool by the cheaper
clothing it would give him. Again,
the great argument for free wool has
been that it would enable the man
ufacturer to make his goods so cheap
chat he could take them into the
"markets of the world" When it
can be made to appear that the far
mer can get more for his wool and
the manufacturer can buy it for less

that the government is annually col
Letting 14O, 100000 in excess of its
needs. The Democratic platform
says it is Preaching over 100000"
Quite little discrepancy. 1t then
charges the Republicans with ia
voring "free whiskey" and garbles
their platform in an attempt to sub
stantiate the charge, as follows:
"We would effect all needed reduction
of the revenue by repeating the taxes
upon tobacco and the tax upon spirits
used in the arts 4 If there shall still
remain larger revenue than is requisite
for the wants of the government we favol

The Republican Club Meeting at
So. Londonderry, Saturday Eve.
The First Rally Of the Season

The First Rally Of the Season.
The Town Hall full OF Ladies' and Gem
tlemen boiling over with enthusiasm.
The first rally of the season came
off at the Town Hall, Saturday eve
ming under the auspices of the Har-
rison & Morton Club. A meeting
of the Club had been called for that
evening, and efforts were made to Sc
cure speaker but that this was to
be success was not known until
Friday evening, when letter was re-
ceiyed from Jos. G.. Martin, Esq,
of Manchester Centre, stating that he
would attend. Early Saturday MORN
ing flyers were got out making the
announcement; and the result was
that the Town Hall was completely
filled with ladies and gentlemen from
all parts of the town. This was part
ly owing to the political interest and
enthusiasm felt by the Republicans
throughout the town, and partly by a
desire to hear Mr.. Martin, who for
merly resided in town and has many
friends here, and who was known to
be good speaker.
The meeting was called to order by
A. E. Cudworth, ESQ.,, President OF
the Club, who introduced the Glee
Club who rendered with good effect
'"The gray haired Boys in Blue. "
After the transaction of some business
connected with the Club, the presi-
dent briefly referred to the political
situation and the issues before the
people, and in very fitting and hap
PLY expressed words introduced the
speaker of the evening who was re-
ceived with an outburst of applause.
Mr.. Martin, after pleasantly refer
ring to his youthful days spent in
this place and vicinity when he was a
Democrat, having been brought up in
that faith, plunged at once into his
subject, first briefly referring to the
attempt on the part of the Demo-
It's to lug in the free whiskey issue,
I'D then taking up the true and only
sue, the tariff, he proceeded to dis
cuss it, in it's general bearings upon
the welfare of the country, in an elo-
qlent and forcible manner. Mr..
Martin was frequently interrupted
with burst of applause that grew into
a storm as he concluded his address.
Mr.. Cudworth then spoke briefly of
the general issues and entered into a
comparison of the records of the two
parties. His remarks were well re-
celved and frequently applauded.
The meeting was concluded with the
Glee Clubs rendering of Goodbye,
old Grover" The meeting was a
splendid success and much enthusi-
asm was manifested throughout. 1t
is the intention of the Club to hold
several such meetings and possibly
one grand rally.

Popular Amr.em1nts and Games.

I remember, in my youth, when I be-
came fond of books and of study, I used
to look upon balls, games and prize
matches as foolish and sense1ess things,
fit only for silly people who could not APP
preciate the delights of literature. When
l became older l saw the folly of this no.
tion, and entered into the common games
and amusements of life like other people.
For the customs, games and amusements
of a people are the outcome of long years
of experience, the meal whereby people
come to relax themselves, and to throw
Off the cares Of business. Nay, more;
they are the ear of forming acquaint-
ances, of learning the habits. character
and thoughts of each other, and of becom-
ing skilled in social ways, in the power Of
amusing and entertaining others.
Besides. any man that has an eye to see
and an ear to hear can read q whole
volume in some fete champetre or in some
open air match Of two contending parties.
1t is here that character is exhibited, that
wit, humor and raillery are apt to find
free play; that DISCUSSES are thrown of,
and people show themselves rs they are;
and it is here that a thousand things
worth knowing may be learned when one
has the art to learn them. A man who
can enjoy the literature of a people should
be broad enough to enjoy their muse
ments, for without this breadth of char.
acter he will never be able to produce
anything that the people will enjoy
