The Oddfellows of this place are

Judge Fox of Ironton was in town a
week ago yesterday.
The question as to who rules Mis-
souri-the people on the lobby-has
been decided in favor of the lobby, and
that may have inspired Chairman Maj
fit to try to rule the Democratic party
of Missouri; ard if his success should
be as marked as that of Phelps. the
Democratic party in Missouri will
scarcely be worth ruling in the near
future.
The people of this county, regardless
of party, are in favor of the free coin
age of silver, regardless of the action
of Europe. and they are going to have
it, and the party that stands in their
way will be run over and badly man
gled. There are any number of Dem
ocrats who will not only not vote for
gold-bug or straddle-bug Democrat,
but will vote for a free silver man of
any party to defeat such a one. There
are Democrats who have fought the
battles of Democracy when there was
no hope of success who have borne the
burden in the heat of the day without
hope of. reward other than the triumph
of principle.
Then to see the fruits of the struggle
of years ruthlessly thrown away, is
enough to disgruntle any one who has
fought for principle alone. And, as l
said, there are thousands of such, in
spite of their love for the old time
and their pain at severing
the ties of lifetime, will vote for the
restoration of silver to its constitu-
tional place as a money metal, regard
less of what the Democratic party may
do. That's, if they are given chance:
but if all parties straddle in 1896, they
will simply go fishing. But as that
seems to be the desire of the gold bugs
of all parties, they will care but little
how large the fishing parties are, il
they can control the platforms of all
the political parties. And with this
belief firmly fixed in nv mind, | am
not going to fish on that day il there is
a party in this country in favor of sill
yer. The Democratic party first; and
if she lines up with Grover and the
bankers and money-changers, then any
party to oppose that policy will be
good enough for me. In other words,
| am for the free and unlimited coin
age of Silver at a ratio of 16 to /, re-
gardless OF the action OF Europe Or the
Democratic party.
