1T is fact now universally conceded
by the best informed authorities that the

chine, of the Wheeler & Wilson Manufac-
turing Company, embodies the best de-
vices of the most skillful inventors, and
combines the best results of expensive
and long continued experiments to pro-
duce perfect machine, superior to all
others now before the public In point of
ease, rapidity and precision OF action,
uniformity of tension and perfection OF
seam. Over one hundred OF these ma
chimes have been sold in this city and

Two fine poplar poles we're raised here
this afternoon, and flag bearing the
names of the Republican candidates for
President, Vice President, Governor and
Congressman, were fioated out over an
enthuiastic crowd Of Republicans.
Good music was furnished by the Rim
goes Band, the weather was perfect, and
the attendance good. Elk Senator Geo. II.
Large was the fret speaker. He touched
briefly, but forcibly upon national issue,
especially upon protection and sound
money, and then took up State is
sues. He gave mastery review of the
Ubiquitous legislation of the past two
years. showing the modern Democratic
ring method Of governing the people by
Boards and commissions, and every
other device by which they could take the
power out OF the hands of the voters the
creation Of needless offices the increase
OF salaries the profigate waste of the
peoples money, 10 order to feed ring tools
and secure firmer hold upon the State.
He then discussed the ''coal combine, -
aud showed how weak and futile are the
Democratic attempts to explain their
course In that matter. He had copy of
the legalizing bill at hand to show that
Democratic speakers were telling false
hoods to the people In the vain hope OF
saving Democratic votes to their smirch-
candidate, Mr. Cornish.
It was strong arraignment; and Demo-
Gratis In the audience admitted that on the
State issues he was right.

followed 10 very able discussion OF nat
ional issues. Mr.. Comet Is clear and logi-
