c CAErESTEE
Mr.. Carpenters experience by &c
means disprOves the statements made
by the REGISTER. We quoted the
price at the mills. S it surprising
that jobbers should ask a cent pound
more? Ii will be remembered also
that the price we quoted was for July.
There might have easily been a slight
advance since that time. When wire
nails can be sold by the single key i'm
lola at $500 hundred, when they
have passed through at least three
hands, and have been freighted a
thousand miles, it is surely not un-
reasonable to suppose that the first
price could not have been above 81 60.
The Iron Age. from which the REGIS
TER quoted, would have no more OBJ
ject in making a false report of the
price of nails than the DrOUer's Tele-
gram would have in making a false
report of the price of cattle. 1t did
not make false report, aud Mr.. Car
penter ought to be candid enough to
admit it.
On making note in our last issue of
the debate at Usage Center between
Mr.. Rath and Mr.. Scott, the date ap-
peared as Tuesday. Nov. >, when it
should have been Wednesday. Nov. >.
! The debate will be held on the latter
evening, and as it will necessarily be
rather long it is hoped that the people
will assemble promptly at 1870 o'clock.
The Ladies' Glee Club, of Lola. has
promised to go out with Capt. Slower
/ to his meeting at Salem school house
next Friday, NOv.4. We can assure
the people of that vicinity that treat
is in store for them.
The people of Elsmore are again re-
minded of the Republican meeting at
Elsmore next Friday evening. Nov. 1,
to be addressed by the Hon. Rodolph
Hatfield. Mr.. Hatfield is an eloquent
and entertaining speaker and he ought
to have n crowded house.
A private letter from LaCygne says
that Col Moore spoke 10 an audience
there the other night in which empty
chairs were conspicuous. FunstOn's
majority in Linn county will not be
less than 200.
J. +. Henderson and Chas. +. Scott
will address a Republican meeting at
Rock Greek school house tomorrow
evening.
Hon. r. w. Blue-Dick Blue-will
speak at Humboldt Saturday evening
Nov. D. On account of this assign
ment the appointment of Chas. +.
Scott for that place on Friday evening
is cancelled and Mr.. Scott will be
present with Col. Blue on Saturday
evening. On account of these changes
Mr.. Scott will go TO Moran on Friday
instead of on Saturday evening.

The Republican ladies of the

ganized broom brigade and will at
tend the meeting at that place Tues
day evening, Nov. l, in body.
There will no doubt be a large crowd
out to see the display.
Chas. F. Scott will address the Re
publican Club at Geneva next Thurs
day evening, Nov. 3.
The opposition in this county know
they are beaten if the Republicans
stick to their ticket, and so their
policy is to concentrate their efforts on
one or two of their candidates, hoping
by begging, trading and dickering to
get enough Republican votes to pull
their favorites through. y part of
this policy of course is to concentrate
their attacks upon one or two OF the
Republican candidates hoping thus TO
drive voters away from them. The
scheme is so gauZy that no RePubli
can ought To- allow himself to be fool
ed by it. Let us stand together this
time and 'dOwn the whole aggregat
ion.n
Saturday was a bad day for 2 polit-
ical rally. "The sky was ashen and
sober,u as Mr.. Poe once remarked, and
the air was raw and chilly and the
mud was deep. So the 200 or more
people, with the three bands and the
floats and banners, who were coming
up from Humboldt did not arrive.
And the delegation from Colony stay
ed at home. And the whole east side
of the comfy that would have gather
ed at Moran and come in body with
bands playing and banners flying,
had to give it up. Only the Republic
ans of Elm, who keep up the fight the
year around and never lay it down for
