The special tram was met thirty miles
from Los Angeles by President Frank P.
Flint of the Mckinley Club and Delegate
Kirkland, who were the committee of re-
eeption. They bore TO the Alliance the
good will Of thousands Of Los Angeles
Republicans and the friendly greetings Of
the Mckinley Club in particular.
The days programme in Los Angeles
began early. Members OF the Mckinley
Club, anxious to cement the union be-
tween north and south, met at their club
rooms at A n. and made arrangements
to receive their guests.
Il should be borne in mind that there
was no attempt to get up q noisy street
hurrah in the afternoon or at night, the
chief street feature being the splendid
evolutions of the Alliance. The great
event was the monster meeting.
Republican cluos from all parts Of the
county were present, among them delega-
tons from Pasadena, North Pasadena,
Compton, Pomona, Riverside, Monrovia,
Santa Monica, Lordsburg, Wilmington,
Covins, Azusa and other points. The city
clubs were all on hand in full force. The

The value of a correct and

directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects we'll, yet are con-
stantly troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight.

Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.

.sixteen to oner Connerway.

But let mo write and tell you, white people, that old man Matthew Conner way-"s,ixteen to One" as everybody calls hiIn now-is way yonder the hap piest as well as the most craziest nor tai in all the regions round about Rocky Creek thls summer. He lives right over there in the hill country, and for the last three years-every day and every hour, wet 0 cold, hot or dry, at home or abroad, in sickness or in health-he has been preachin forth the doctrine of free silver at the rates of sixteen to one.
 Mind you, now, old man Connerway aint the onlyest sixteen to one free silver man in the settlement. You would have to burn the woods and sift the ashes to find sixteen men around here that aint preachin from the same text and fghtin under the same flag, But in the main time when "Sixteen to One" Connerway caught the disease he caught q tremendius bad case of it. And what was worse and still more of it, about the same time he was took down with q right hard spell of runnin off at the mouth. He went forth into the highways and the hedges and talked free silver at sixteen to one so rapid and so constant, and preached the same old sermont from the same text over and over and over till now bless gra- cious he has went slap kerdab crazy on the question. He helt up under the strain right tolerable well till late along in tho spring, when it come to pass that free silver was the winnin card all around, and then itwould seem like the old men couldn't stand it no longer. His head gearins jumped cog, somethin broke, and henceforwartls after that Sixteen to 0ne' Connerway has been a standin candidate for the Crazy Siloam.
 To show you what furious bad case of if the old man has got, the next day after we got the news that Tennessee had went windin for free silver he went to town, and am all sorts of a. liar if he didn't put in and buy sixteen new brides for one poor old mule. took particular notice of the old man as he rid by our house on his return back home that cvenin, and from gen eral appearments I would jidge that he had bit off about sixteen plugs of white whisky in one day.
 Here week before last Luke Conner ways girl baby-whieh Luke and his wife they live in the house with old sixteen to One" and they had three boys to only one girl-she took sick with the slow fever and died. And whilst nobody would of thought it, the old man got up the next mornin at first aaybreak and took his spade and lit out and went over to the old Ebenezer graveyard. It was way up into the day before his folks could find him, and

A aciose callv for scroecins.

At the last regular meetin of the Rocky Creek Farmers club Blev Scrog- gins-which, you understand, Blev talks q whole passeI sometimes jest simply because the good Lord, in the wisdom of lis grace and mercy, give him some thing to talk with-Bley he spit it out as his sprivate opinions in the Connerway case that when the old man went crazy he didn't have no very durn long jour- ney to make "The mainest trouble with the old man. says Blev, was about sixteen ounces of skull to one spoonful of brains"
 Of course, that is none of my business, and it wouldn't be right for me to say whether Blev was right or wrong in q general way. But there was two of the Connerway boys in the meetin, and it took some monstrons fast and fancy work to keep down the sheddin of hu- man blood and slave off second-class funeral in the settlement,
 You will take notice that my friend and fellow-citizen, Bley Scroggins, ain t no sixteen to one free silver man. He don't even sorter half way make out like he is, and since the cards have been rum nin the other way like a shot, Bley has got his bristles up considerable. He give it out in crowd over at Cool Springs church on the last meetin day that he was goin to yoke up his oxen and pack his wagon and move off down into the COW country amongst the gall berry thickets and see if he couldn't find alittle patch of earth where every body hadn't went crazy for free silver at sixteen to one. l reckon, though, that Blev was only tal1in that day to see how his voice would sound through his new straw hat. At any rates, l don't know where he would go to find that little patch of earth" which he is look. in for.

aold fsitr Sanders Now.

Now as for me, all l lSnow-and you can stake your side whiskers and your Sunday boots I do know that for cer- tain---is that at our house we most in generally always have about sixteen wants to one dollar And it raley makes but blame little difference with me whether 1t comes in gold or silver or paper so long as the feed bills and the store account stack up agin us at the rates of sixteen to one. What shall we wear, what shall we eat, what shall we drink, and wherewithal will we raise the necessary coinage-that covers all the ground for me.
 Naturally, of course, l don't put my mouth up as anybody's prayer book, and there aint no laws of compellment to make you believe everything write and say. But I will bet sixteen good mules to one blind steer that I have to git np and git more reglar and ire quent than any Twin man ill IT states and territories. Every time l go to town it is daddy git this, and Rufus git that, and Rufe git somethin else. Con sequentially 1 have now took and changed my maiden name from Rufus to "Old Git" On my return back home the last time went to town, when l first driv up I called mother and the children out to the wagon to help me unload the produce1nents, and then l give out the new name and laid down the law And l wouldn't be plum square and honest if 1 didn't own up to you that I used more plain United States language than Bible words by at least sixteen to one.
 By the seven stars and the Milky Way" says I to mother and the risin generation of the Sanders race, "don't call me daddy and don't call me Rufus and don't call me Rufe any more. Dad blame it, that ain't my name nohow. By gatlins give me a name that will fit the man and jest call me Old Git Sanders"
 John Andrews Milligan is now out as a free silver candidate for the legisla- ture, and he told me the other day if he wins his fight-which he thinks he will by majority of somethin like sixteen to one-he will work up and pass law to make my new name stick.

 It is q real sad case if you think about it right sober like and serious, but ac- cordin to old man Connerway's present plans of government and money, and politics and religion, and life and death, everything in the whole discovered world must stack up and fill in and match out at the rates of sixteen to one.
