EDITOR INDEX: The Republican
club, six in all, met here last night 10th
inst.). The U. l.. club was to have met,
but courteously gave way to "our friend,
the enemy" Judge Edwards made a
schoolboy Grafton, picturing, as usual,
the imaginary blessings of a prohibitory
tariff, and as usual, attributing the
money panic of 1887 to low tariff; and,
as usual, claiming that all the progress
we have made since 1889 as due to high
tariff. utterly ignoring the value of in
ventions, the superior industry and in
telligence of our workman and the
blessings of Almighty God-attributing
all to the boundless profundity of Re-
publican wisdom.
Mr.. Croker, political pedagogue,
followed suit, telling the U. l.. fellows
that Ben Butler was their great leader
to-day; that their free-trade plank
would impoverish them all; that their
party was, like hell, paved with good
intentions;" and that they recognized
no labor except that which made man
sweat, and countless other things they
had never heard of or dreamed of before.
Cleveland was accused of violating
his oath of office; sweeping denuncia-
tions of Democracy were made, etc.
Lawyer Martin was then called fol
and trumped both tricks with an able,
non-partlsan, anti-Republican talk. He
was greeted with frequent cheers until
called to order at IL o'clock.
~ gods, how have the mighty fal-
len!" L.ER

Republicans Big Rally.

That was very tame rally the Re-
publicans had here Saturday night.
The affair had been extensively adver-
tised and great lot of powder and old
barrels and boxes were burned in the
endeavor to get the people to enthuse
and yet they wouldn't do it worth a
cent. Judge Edwards, T. A. McNeal
and r. A. Cameron all thought they
made speeches from wagon in the
middle of the street; but their efforts
were very weak and entirely failed to
touch the spot.
The judges talk was dry and uninter-
esting, about the kind of talk he would
likely make if arguing a technical point
in law before an APPELLATE court. Tom
McNeal was in bad voice and his stock
of witticisms was deficient. Lon Cam
eron insisted that the tariff question
was not the important issue of this
campaign and then he launched out to
tell about the suppressed negro vote
of the south, bringing in his old favorite
issue, the war, and winding up with
what he didn't know about the tariff.
The audience was made up principal
ly of curiosity seekers, Democrats,
Union Labor people, fair sprinkling
of Republicans and lot of noisy boys.
Real applause or enthusiasm was en-
tirely absent and altogether the rally
was very common affair.
Republicans of this city have become
tired of rallying. The Logan club has
been organized since last spring and it
has had its speakings, It's rallies and
its notifications until its own members
are tired and Disguised. They can't
see what they are making out of it.
No converts have been made to Repub-
licanism and the same old crowd has
done the meeting and ratifying.

gent assembIage of citizens at the court

NAOu anu AClOIln VI tie present tariff

oiies and trusts ct the east.n
When this was read those present were
invited to come forward and become
members and with few exceptions,
those present accepted the invitation.
Those who became members were by
no means confined TO the Democrats
present, either, for number of we'll
known and Influential Union Labor
men went forward end signed the doc
upent aud to-day the list has been en-
iarged until the bone and slnew of both

ties of this township now make up the

A Rare Chance.

Eli Simmons and Jas. Boutwell, this
week entered into an agreement with
prominent citizen TO paper his entire

ESQ patterns under this agreement: \
bin for tAe work is TO be made out at
Tie usual prices ana il Mr.. Cleveland

ing at president and counting down to

The pssatrict sruls y

The entertainment, the "Deestrict
Skule," to be given at Tompson's opera
house Thursday evening, 18th inst,
promises to be well attended as it
should be. The proceeds will be deyot-
ed to the Presbyterian church. Ad-
mission, Is, %, and 80 cents. Reserved
seats on sale at the post-office.
Speaking of this entertainment, the
Paris (Il.) Republican had the follow
ing notice when it was produced there
some time since:
The last day of Hardscrabble Dees-
trict Skule at The opera hall, last night,
was simply immense. The class exer-
clses were splendid, in fact there is not
an exercise on the programme that is
not worth twice the admission fee to
see. 1t is worth the money to see the
geography class recite. The speeches,
dialogues. poems, orations, compost
tons, etc., are simply paralyZing. The
contest before the board of directors for
the selection of a new teacher lis quite
warm, as revolutionary war widow
wants Samantha's place, and Samantha
is bound TO win"

The ok-Drysdale Nuptial..

The marriage of Mr.. Willard Z. Cook
and Miss Maggie NJ. Drysdale occurred
at the home of the brides parents in
this city Wednesday evening September
3, 1888, Rev. Sanderson, pastor of the
NJ. E. church officiating. The cere-
mony was witnessed by the families
and immediate friends of the contracting
parties, to the number of twenty and
these enjoyed with the happy couple a
delicious spread Immediately after the
congratulations. Mrs. Drysdale, moth
er of the bride, had successfully exerted
her superior knowledge of the culinary
art and the rich repast was all that an
epicure could have asked.
After supper, visit to the room con-
tanning the bridal presents revealed a
rare and rich collection, there being fur
niture, table ware, silver ware, parlor
ornaments, rugs, toilet articles and
other articles both useful and ornamen-
tai, making collection of which any
young couple might be proud.
Will Cook is one of the best known
and most popular young men of this
city, where he has lived with his parents
since he was child. His father, w.
w. Cook, is leading citizen of this
county, he having held various posi-
tions of honor and trust and having
been intimately associated with every
important enterprise in the history of
this county and city. Will is a young
man of good business training and of
exemplary habits and he is almost GER
tain to make a success in life.
She Is young lady greatly loved for
her sunny disposition and admired for
her many accomplishments. She is
bright and practical and is worthy of a
good husband. She is the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. James E. Drysdale, of Lex
ington, Missouri, and it was in that
city that she was raised. Her parents
moved here two years ago; but this
week they have again taken up their
home at Lexington. Medicine Lodge
is certainly fortunate in retaining such
charming member of their family.
