more about free coinage OF silver.
Cleveland's letter took his blestf
away.

heard from Hatch in regard to
their demand to have one billion
five hundred millions of legal ten
der issued?
The people of Cuba are
anxious to be taken into the reel
procity policy under the Mckin-
ley act, SO they can get their sug-
ar into the United States.
Western Democrats may
howl about Cleveland's antago-
nism 10 silver, but they will have
10 accept hirl rs their candidate
for president just the same.
THE refunding of the direct
taxes of 1861 will entite Missouri
t. s649,000. This WAS brought
about hy Republican legislation
iu the face of the most determined
democratic opposition.
The resid dAnce of ex- Cover
nor L. j. Oglesby, near Elkhart,
H., was destroyed by fire, Monday
morning, Mrs. Oglesby was seri-

Senator Carlisle is the
latest sufferer from that danger
