IDENTIFY was at home on these questions
and proved fully equal to the hopes and
expectations of his friends. Mr. Peffer
reviewed all of his salient points with
clear and logical illustration-completely
sweeping away all the fine spun theories
of the governor. The house cheered his
clear and logical illustrations, and the
groundless theories of the governor were
clearly set forth. The power and func-
tions of money were made plain; also the
sovereignty and power Of the govern
ment to make money from any material
1t chooses. That law made and unmade
money was made so clear In his speech
that those who were drawn there from
curiosity were filed with new ideas.
That the trouble was not the kind of
mOney-the number of grains the gold
or silver dollar contained-but the num-
Der of dollars in the hands of the people
to do their business with. 1t was an in
tellectual treat to hear both sides from
the same platform on the same day, by
two men who spoke from their convic-
tiOns on such important government
policy. There can be no queStion-from
the feeling Of the silver men and women
and the discontinue Of the governors
fOllowers-but what it was q "clean
knock out" for the single standard side.
Everything passed off pleasantly and
"our fellows" feel they gained big
point by this innovation In the pro-
gramme Of the day. P. P. ELDER.

To the Editor of TIE ADVOCATE.
The last and closing day Of the Chau-

scene of no ordinary interest. 1t was
radical change in the usual order of
business. The last day has heretofore
been G. A. r. day, but this year it was
agricultural and labor day, and Senator
PETER ond ex- Governor Anthony were
the speakers. The subject was silver
coinage. The governor spoke first in his
usual vigorous and triumphant manner.
His speech was able and carefully pre-
pared, and wholly on the line of the gold
or single standard. He ridiculed the
idea of "tiat money" the vRlue-under
all orsany circumstances-imparted to
paper money was derived from the fact
Of its being redeemable in coin, or q gov
ernment promise to pay; related many
amusing anecdotes to illustrate the
points he made, his friends cheering lib
orally; scoffed the idea of 75-cent or
80 cent silver dollar, meaning the value
Of the bullion it contained, occupying
two hours in Its delivery. His speech
was as able and logical as any single
standard speaker could we'll make

GOVERNOR ROBINsON'S TRIBUTE TO A
RRAVE MAN

AAADAtO4s t~N~~@@f~NNfD
BRAVE NAN.
In the death of Colonel s. N. Wood,
Kansas has lost it's ablest and one Of its
best citizens. It is doubtful whether
the tide of slavery would have been
turned back from Kansas without his
assistance. His services were invaluable
and indispensable. He understood the
conflict in every particular, was thor
oughly in earnest, man Of firm conVic-
tions and with sufficient courage for all
emergencies. He was physically and in
tellectually giant, with heart full of
love and good will for his race. He was
always found on the side of the oppressed
and in the thickest of the fight AS long
as political or religious organizations
were of service to humanity, 80 long he
would be loyal to them, but when they
turned oppressOrs he instinctively turned
against them. Mere politicians who
wear collars -scribes, Pharisees and
hypOcrites hated him with an intense
hatred because they couldn't meet him
In argument. Their only recourse was
to indulge in ridicule, insinuatiOns or
direct charges of dishonesty, knowing
that his heart and conduct were as high
above theirs as was Christ above Barab-
bas. Some of these partlsans have come
to believe these false accusations to be
true from. their oft repetition, and they
even would repeat them after his death,
but their slurs at the dead lion will harm
nobody but themselves. There was a
character 1900 years ago that the Phari-
sees and hypocrites could not meet in
debate, and they went to calling names;
said he was a drunkard, Sabbath breaker
and associate of disreputable people, and
by no means suitable for companion
ship with the "whited sepulchers that
were full of dead mems bones" The peo-
pie, the industrial classes, the poor, the
oppressed, and especially those who
were freed from bondage by his efforts,
will sing praises to the name of their
friend, whatever those who live, move
and have their being by the favor of op-
pressOrs may say. In the hereafter he
will be holding hallelujah receptions
with such as were oppressed, while they
will be Laundering about on the brim-
stone lake In search of dead sea apples
and little cool water.

ON ASSASSINATION IN CANTON.

1T is a fine commentary on ideas OF
peace and order when candidate for
mayor, who is the supposed conservator
of q city's dignity, acts like street bully
and attacks an editor for perfectly reputa.
BILE criticism. The Republican party Of
Canton made an escape when itdefeated
Mr.. Mellinger's ambition. The man who
cannot keep the peace himself is unfit to
be made its official preserver.-l Massil-
lonian.
So far as Mr.. Mellinger is concerned
he offered no insult to the editor of the
NEWS DEMOCRAT. 1t was G. A.
Dougherty, the man who accompanied
him. Mr.. Mellinger, however, was in a
high state of excitement. Mellinger's
threats to brain were not made to the
editor, but to the business manager of
the paper, on another occasion.
We looked to see some expression
from the evening Republican organ of
Canton last evening on this disgraceful
affair, but the Rep did not speak. We
are quite certain that we should not
fail to condemn, with as strong Ian.
guage as we could command, any
hJJtupb w hoSdoolhdOC buC OulbOi VI
the Rep. on the street, or anywhere
else, by any kind of desperadoes, drunk
or sober, Republican or Democrat. We
are thankful, however, that the Demo
cratic party of Canton has no such ele-
ment to defend.
This is vital question. 1t is more
vital than municipal politics, now or
hereafter. 1t involves the question
whether the citizen shall have the right
to pass up and down our streets unmo-
Tested, or whether citizen has that
right, subject to the rights of some
worthless and lawless character to in
terrupt him.
A more cowardly galoot never lived
than Charles j. Guiteau, the man who
assassinated Prest. Jas. A. Garfield,
and the great majority of men who
commit murders are towards.
We propose to discuss this question
of assassination in the immediate fu-
ture, as it is question that deeply
concerns every good citizen.

WASHINGTON SHOCKED.
Over the Discovery that the White House
Housekeeper Has Been Moving in Swell
Official Society, on 500 per Month,
Paid Out of the Surplus.

Over the Discovery that the White House
Housekeeper Has Been Moving in Swell
Official Society, on 500 per Month,
Paid Out of the Surplus.
From Special to the Plain Dealer.l
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The generous
manner in which President Harrison en-
sconced his relatives in pleasant govern
ment berths which attracted so much
attention in the early part of this admin
istration has involved the White House in
a social scandal which has set the tongues
of all the gossips in Washington wagging.
In order to fully understand the cause of
the social upheaval it is Necessary to go
back to Hayes administration. Up to that
time the responsible position of house
keeper at the White House had always
been filled by colored woman. Mrs.
Hayes dismissed the colored woman and
placed the deserving widow of an army
officer in charge of the domestic affairs of
the executive mansion. She continued in
her position throughout the administra-
tions of Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland.
As soon as Harrison was comfortably en-
throned in the White House, however,
this estimable lady was dismissed with a
months salary and Mrs. Scott-Lord, the
sister of Mrs. Harrison, was installed in
her place at a salary OF 500 per month.
At this time DR.. Scott, Mrs. Harrison's
ldtutT, was uTdWiuB WV WIG Cciisls
Office for nominal service. Subsequently
Mrs. Scott-Lord died and Mrs. Dim
mick, another sister of Mrs. Harri-
son, was made housekeeper at the
same salary-of course this was strictly
sub rosa. Everybody imagined Mrs. Dim
mick was simply the guest OF her sister.
She accompanied the Presidents family
everywhere. Atweddings, receptions and
other gatherings to which only the creme
de la creme were invited Mrs. Dimmick
was honored and she nearly always re-
sponded. She also assisted at Mrs. Harri.
sons receptions, meantime drawing a sal
airy of 500 a month. At last, however,
Mrs. Mckee was indiscreet enough to re-
mark about Mrs. Dimmick's connection
with the household affairs of the White
House TO the wife of a western Senator
and the latter straightway proceeded to
spread the information among her own
circle and there was great deal OF indig
nation expressed that society should have
entertained and been entertertained by
Mrs. HarrisoD's housekeeper. The ladies
of the White House were informed forth
with that Mrs. Dimmick could no longer
be received at their houses il she retained
her menial position. Mrs. Harrison gave
Mrs. Dimmick her choice. Like a sensi-
BILE woman and true Harrison she con-
cluded that 800 per month outweighed
social engagements and announced that
she would continue a housekeeper. In
order to let the affair blow over Mrs. Dim
mick decided that she would temporarily
reside with her sister, Mrs. Parker, where
she now is. The affair has caused great
deal of comment.
