Eastman, prominent republican and sporting
man of Ossian, this county, recently bet so
with w. ii. Rupright, leading democrat, that
Harrison would win the presidential election.
Last Saturday Mr.. Eastman wilted and asked
for his money back, assigning as a reason that
the money in question belonged to ii. Grove,
l.. c. Davenport and Eli Lowell of this CITY.
and that they we're whining and wanted the
bet recalled. All the parties except Rupright
are political sports and republicans and pride
themselves on their nerve. They see the hand
writing on the wall.

Capt. Myers ut sIedora.

MEDoRA, Oct. 15.-[Special. THE reception
given Capt w. r. Myers here was one of the
grandest events known at this place. Although
the inclemency of the weather a serious
drawback to the turnout. there were some 5000
people to and hear the logical speech that
was delivered by our next heutenant-governor.
The parade was about two miles in length.
Everything was decorated in town, and some of
the finest glee club wagons with their songsters
filled the air with their delightful music None
were more enthused than the old soldiers of
this vicinity. The captain surely made sew
eral converts by his mastery way of handling
the tariff system. A pole 100 feet high was
raised.

BLUFFToN, Oct 15.-lSpecial. l-Notwith-
standing the rain and mud, 1000 people were
here Saturday to greet ex-senator Mcdonald
and 10 hear one of the great speeches OF the
campaign. Not more than one-third of the
crowd could be accommodated. Senator
Mcdonald made convincing speech on the
tariff. lie fully refuted the claims made by
republican speakers that the consumer does
not pay the tariff tax and most clearly showed
the sectional character of the senate tariff bill
compared with the fair and equitable pro-
visions of the Mills bill. During his speech he
was surrounded by forty or fifty gray-haired
voters of 1910, among whom was one over
seventy years of age who has been a republic
an ever since the party came into existence,
and at the close of the senator's speech he
shook him by the hand and said, God bless
you, and added the statement that he would
this year vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
The Hon. John w. Kern arrived here in the
evening, was met at the train by torch-liCht
procession of 500 and a brass band, and was es-
corted to the rink, where crowd of 900
awaited his coming. His appearance in the
building was sufficient to arouse enthusiasm,
which was manifested by hearty cheer. For

PORTLAND, Oct 15.-[Special. Fully 10000
people attended the democratic rally in this
city to-day. The rain poured down from day

was the Frances Cleveland club of Coldwater.

throughout the day, and had it not been for the
weather Portland could hardly have held the
people. Another large meeting was held in
the evening addressed by the Hon. A. n. Mar

district. Mr.. Martin made ringing speech,
and was listened to with the closest attention.

Taking the whole list through, scanning
every article which the farmer or his

baron, with his open hand and his tariff
pistol, calling upon the consumer to stand

robbery to the extent OF at least $50, 100000

above specified amOunt-viz., that the av-

first figure, $40, and make the tariff aver

than it really is-and YOU find every New

rate New England and New York alone is

not hold good throughout the country, or
the tribute would be nearer six hundred

These are Chicago quotations and show
that American wheat is p per cent. and
American corn - per cent. higher in
England than in America. This, after the
farmers have paid in twenty-five years
81 800, 100000 to secure a home market
and protect the barOns!
given the farmer? They protect the
wool on his sheep to the extent of about
so cents a fleece. Given the official
average of nine sheep per farmer, we see
that while he steals from him SIS he only
protects him to the amount of $40
Thus
BarOns steal from the farmer 90
Give back in wool .......... 20
Balance in barons' favor .................s SD 20
OF course. the Herald has taken the low
est possible average OF robbery. But
every farmer can secure copy of the
tariff giving the tax on the articles he and
his family buy, and can then work out
just about how much he is individually
plnndered. With tie result of this fgur-
ing in his vest pocket, he can make things
very interesting for the republican stump
orator when he comes into the 'deestrict''
to howl for Blaine's @. o. p. and his partic-
ular friends. the tariff barons.
