academy for the past few months and whose

for him many warm friends is about to leave

essary and expedient for him to 60 hence
to perform good work is our only conso-

CoMsTocK-BYRNEs.-On Friday eyen-
ing last our citizens were favored with
two admirable political speeches, and it
would be difficult to measure their bene-
flcent effect. Mr.. Comstock held the
close attention Of his audience for an
hour explaining his action in congress,
and he convinced every nearer that this
district is represented ably and faithfully
in congress by him, and he will receive
an Increased voce as the direct result of
his plain and convincing speech. He
spoke at length of the Mckinley bill.
pointing out the advantages which will
undoubtedly accrue from it's passage,
and its superiority over the Mills bill.
The so-ealled force bill was referred to
at length, and he declared that no re-
publican need apologize for voting for
a measure which would secure to every
citizen the rights guaranteed him by the
United States. All the force bill intends
is to give to every man emitted to it the
fullest rights of suffrage, unmolested and
unterrifed.
He paid his respects in a very forcible
manner to the Avalanche, refuting most
conclusively long list of false accusa-
tons which appeared last week, ard
holding up to well-merited ridicule the
person who printed such a mass of rot.
| 1.-THE article in question was copied from
another paper but appeared without
credit.
| Mr.. Comstock was followed by Tim
Byrnes, who made rafting speech of
an hour and half and it bristled with
| good things from first to last, He dis
cussed the theory and practice as render
ed effective by the Mckinley bill, COM
pairing with-the free-trade fallacies of the
Mills bill. He kept his audience in the
best of humor, and it would not let him
stop when he wanted to. He paid Mr.
Comstock an exalted compliment for
faithfulness and devotion by declaring
that he had spent more hours in his seat
in congress than any other man in the
United Stated.
Both speeches were enthusiastically ap-
plauded, and a more delighted audience
|
argument.
| NEW FIRM.-The we'll known and pop
ular grocery houee of Simonton Bros.
has been dissolved, Sam Simonton retir-
ing, and Chas. H. Bennett succeeding
him. Mr.. Bennett is widely known and
has hosts of friends in this city and vi
entity. He has had large business con-
nection and association with the farmers
of this vicinity, and has won their con-
fidence and esteem. The old firm has
been doing a prosperous business, and
there is every reason to believe that it
will be increased and expanded by the
new firm. Mr. Bennett will take pos
session on Monday next. Sam. Simon
ton will remain in the city during the
winter, at least, and may reside here
permanently.
