Clifton weaken and withdraw to-day q
bet of $500 they had made on tie clec.
ton Of Cleveland and also forfeit de.

authorized young law student in Media

would take the entire $500 bet in one
lump.
A forfeit Of $40 was put up by each

PLACED in the Shareholders hand on Sat

their representative to say that they

from Maine, and, instead OF depositing
the cash on their candidate, they sent
word that they could not afford to have
so much money lying idle from now un-
til the election, and that they might de-
post it later. They also deny their
right to lose their forfeit deposit, but
by the terms OF the bet they haYe al-

PrrrsnuRGm, Pa, Sept. l3.-The start

between European and American work
ing peoples wages furnished by Presi-
dent Campbell of the Window Glass
Workers Association, is brought out in
. different direction by Mr.. William
Gardner, weilrknOyH liittsburgher,
who has lust returned from Europe. In

barely time TO sit fora moment on her

which was brought to her by her elder
child two or three times day. Her
adult son was getting - to 2S cents n
day for hard work in the same factory.
that was one picture OF the free trade in
dustrial prosperity" that invites Ameri-
ca to give it trial.
In the majority Of working peoples
homes over there, air. Gardner says, the
family eats, sleeps, cooks--in short lives
and dics-in one room. And then he
adds: an Manchester counted five
women on the ladders OF new build
ing carrying. the hod, and l have seen
women and children sharpening tools,
yes, even acting as strikersin in blacksmith
Shops In conclusion, he said the pro-
prietor OF single Doulton pottery ad.
initted to him that he had contributed
$500 to be sent by the Qobden Club to
the United States to help elect Uleves
land, and that the same potter had said
he would give three years earnings
rather than see the Democrats beaten.
"Do you know whether the Golden
Club is ssending Free Trade literature to
the United States ag it did in 1850 and
lSS4?"
~ asked that very question Of a man
uiacturer, and his reply was: No, not
this year. We made blasted fools OF our
selves before in sending printed stuff to
the States, you know, but we've sub
stituted barrels Of the useful stuff and
hope for the SUCCESS Of heparty. Then

"This surprised me, and told him
that the question OF Confederate bonds
over here was now simply looked upon
as a myth, but he gave me assurance
that while he did not possess any OF the
Confederate paper himself, some OF his
business friends did and still cling to the
hope OF realizing on them.N

William H. Gibson, who wasin his hap
piest vein, entertained the large audi

Crook was reelected President, and
Col. Emerson McAIillin, of Columbus,

Committee for the ensuing year. The
Board OF Trade expressed its willingness
TO have the society meet in Columbus,
il agreeable, for the next twenty-five
years.
The boys from Wheeling are delight
cd with the treatment received. 1t is
conceded that the G. A. r. Encamp.
ment and Society OF the Army OF West
Virginia have eliminated in the largest
gathering OF soldiers since the grand
review in Washington and that such an
other is not likely to be held dur
ing tho lives of the soldiers OF the
late war. The boys in blue
seem determined to enjoy the occasion
to the utmost. The streets OF the city
have been over run, but tonight the
out going trains are packed with men,

The final grand camp fire will be held
tomorrow evening in the big tent, and
will be addressed by Generals Hayes
