An embryo fire, which started in
the cellar of Mrs. Hanley's house in

while the thermometer ranged at the
highest temperature. The fire was ex-
tinguished before much of any damage
was done.
AT the head Of our editorial col
umns will be found the call forthe JEFF
ferson county Republican convention
to be held at Jefferson, August 18th,
for the purpose of electing delegates to
the Republican state convention and
to the Republican Second Congression-
al District convention. Republicans
should be prepared to select represent
ative men to attend these conventions.
1T is only under protection that
wages are reduced" say the Democratic
organs, yet here Is something that gives
falsity to such a statement:
LONDON, July 23.-At a meeting of
the Ian cashire Master Cotton Spinners'
| federation to-day it was resolved to
send circular to members advising
that wages be reduced 10 per cent. and
that, until the reduction is enforced
the mills work only three days
| week"
Governor Peck is we'll caricatured
in Saturdays Inter Ocean, The gov
ernor in very l1mpsy condition and
clad IN clowns suit is reclining against
one of the pillars of the capitol build
ing fourishing his safety pin campaign
badge, which he had suggested in one
of his humorous streaks as the Demo
cratic campaign badge for this years
presidential contest. In front of our
governor George appears baby Ruth
from Buzzard Shay ,and putting out her
little hand she exclaims, "Say, Mr..
Young Man, my papa says you must let
me alone" Attached to some sort of a
toy in the governors hand is the le-
gend, 81 am so terrible funny"
Mr.. Van Pelt, editor of The Craig,
Mo-, Meteor, went to a drug store at
Hillside, Ia, and asked the physician
in attendance to give him a dose Of
! something for cholera morbus and
| looseness of the bowels. He says: 81
felt so much better the next morning
that [ concluded to call on the physician
and get him to fix me up supply of
the medicine. [ was surprised, when
he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain S
| Collie, Cholera and Diarrhma Remedy.
He said he prescribed it regularly in
his practice and found it the best he
could get or prepare. [ can testify to
it's efficiency in my case at all events. ;"

-"The organs have forgotten to re-
| iterate during the past few days that
the Democratic party is the party of
free silver. The action OF the Repub-
llcan senate In passing the silver bill,
and the equally prompt measure by the
Democratic house to kill it's reconsid-
Grafton has evidently impressed the
organs as being que for silence. y
| Gazette
Why did not The Gazette print the
vote in congress on the silver bill if it
wished to show truly which is the party
Of free coinage? We supply the omis-
sion. In the senate the vote was in
favor of the bill, seventeen Democrats
and eleyen Republicans; against the
bill, seven Democrats and eighteen
Republicans. In the house, the vote
was 127 Democrats and nine Republic
ans for the bill, and ninty-fve Demo-
Gratis and fifty-nine Republicans op-
posed. 1t will be seen that 81
per cent. of the Republicans voted
against free coinage and only IS
per cent. in favor Of the Democrats
| 81 per cent. fdrOred and 43 per cent.
opposed the Stewart bill. Then when
we recall the fact that within the last
fifteen months Democratic state con-
ventions in thirty states have declared
in favor of free coinage, the attitude of
the Democratic party on that question
is not what The Gazette tries to show
