sHEEHAN OUT FOR BRYAN.
The Leader of Tammany Hall De-
cIares Himself.

(New York Special of 4th in Washington
Post)
John C.. Sheehan, the leader Of Tam
many Hall. came out fiatfooted to-day
for the Endorsement Of Bryan and Sewall
and the Chicago platform. What deter
mined him finally. he said, was the action
OF the Indianapolis convention in de-
claring for the single-gold standard.
Even the Republican convention" said
he. 'dd not 20 TO that extreme. This
country has been prosperous under the
double standard since the war of inde-
pendence. but the monopolists and advo-
Gates of the gold cure have been grad
ually stealing from US legislation which
enriched them and made the working
classes poorer. We must get back the
benefcent legislation of which they rob-
bed US, and we can only get 1t back by
electing Bryan and Sewall and enforcing
the PRINCIPLES enunciated at Chicago.
~ am unequivocally in favor OF the free
and unlimited coinage or silver. / am
convinced that the prosperity OF this
country can be restored by the adoption
OF the free-coinage policy. IL may as well
be understood that the leader of Tam
many Hall is neither hedging nor wob-
bling on the silver question, notwithstand-
ing reports 10 the contrary sent through
out the country. / do not know what the
convention in Buffalo will do. but l hope
IL will indorse not only the nomina-
lions made at Chicago. but also the plat
form adopted there
us 1t true that Senator Murphy and
Tammany Hall have made an alliance TO
control the convention"
Il do not know anything about an
alliance with Senator Murphy, but think
Senator Murphy will be on the right side"
who is Tammany's candidate for Gov
ernor?"
"Tammany has no candidate for any
StDte office"
Mr.. Sheehan added that the campaign
would bo opened for Bryan and Sevall
next week, when the Committee on
Speakers OF Tammany Hall would be
called together for the purpose OF ar
ranging al speaking campaign. which
would be vigorously carried on. Mr..
Bryan himself win speak here at the
Tammany ratification meeting. Secre-
tary McGoldrick telegraphed to Chairman
Jones to-day. asking him on what day
Mr.. Bryan would make his temperance
in New York. He expects q reply py
Monday next.

GOVERNMENT BOND ISSUES.
Three speeches were made by Mr.. Bryan
before Milwaukee audisnces to-day. In
the first, as above related, the Democratic
candidate scored those who took part In
the gold convention at Indianapolis, ac-
cusing them of dishonest intention In
nominating a third ticket. One OF the

Mr.. Bryan has delivered during the cam
paign. II was devoted almost entirely
10 the government bond issues, and teem-
ed with Implication OF the adminstra ton
and the members Of the bond syndicate.
Mr.. Bryan did not mention any names.
but II was evident whom he meant in his
denunciatory statement.
Both of to-nights meetings were held
IN Schltz Park. The first address of Mr..
Bryan's there was delivered In a small
theatre, In which 1000 people found seats.
and another 1000 crowded the aisles and
the spaces around the door. Outside in the
chill, damp night air. were gathered more
than 5000 people, who were unable to
gain admission. and these Mr.. Bryan ed-
dressed after his indoor speech was con-
cluded. Both audiences were liberal in
applause, and the utterances concerning
the bond negotiations. which bordered
On the sensational. were received with
great cheerina During part OF MIR.
Bryan's remarks in the theatre there
was much confusion and shouting by
those outside the door, and the speaker
was compelled 70 pause several times.
For the first half hour OF his speech con-
siderable kissing was heard. but IL was
not apparent whether this mark OF dis
approval was intended for Mr.. Bryan or
those who were causing the confusion.

The following that will be of Local
interest we clip from the Fair Haven
Record:
South Londonderry has developed
tendency for absorbing the young
people from this side the big divide.
This time it is Miss Artie Haskins,
one Of our good Castleton young ladies,
who in the matrimonial net is captured
by Mr.. L. W. Babbitt, a we'll to do
farmer of South Londonderry. The
marriage took place Thursday eve
ming, December 10Th. at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Randall. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. E.
D. Woodward. The we'll mated
couple departed Saturday to occupy a
comfortable farm house of which mort
gage or discord has cast no shadow.
And it will be strange indeed if under
the new administration it does not con-
tinue to be the abode of domestic COM
fort and contentment.

Profit In Raising Turkeys

Our townsman. d. D. Wait, re
spends to our call for ideas and give
us a chaixar on turkey raising. HI
say. l nave tgrned, the past season
from four hen turkeys, $4,000 anc
kept the old stock coed. This is better
than raising pork at SC. or potatoes al
II and 15c. a bushel, for which they
are being bought. There are draw
backs in this industry, however.
While young they are very tender and
require care and attention. Hawks
are very fond of visiting the flock daily
sometimes several times day, we
having lost twenty, or more, by them
the past season. Then they are liable
to get lousy, if not attended to. The
young if they begin to droop and die,
it is pretty sure indications of lice. An
application of insect powder on the
head and under the wings, then cover
iu basket for little while, will rid
all poultry of lice. Rub a>little fresh
lard on them is also pretty effectual.
1t needs two or three applications to
make sure thing. We usually put a
light teabell on the necks of the old
ones, this and an application Of sui
phur and grease rubed on them occa-
sionally spretty sure to keep off foxes.
Foxes know better than to linger round
where there is sulphur. Turkeys
would be glad to make their entire liv-
ing upon insect life and will ramble
long distances to obtain 1t, and my
idea is they more than pay for the
grain to fatten them, by thinning out
the grasshoppers which for the past two
years have been very troublesome in
places My pastures, where the tnr-
keys roam, have kept green all through
the dry hot summer while my neigh
bors' have been eaten up to the quick
by the pests. The turkey is the bird
of America and as long as those in
authority will appoint a day of Thanks
giving and prayer the masses will have
their turkey and invite home the alb.
sent loved ones and near and dear
friends to enjoy with them the festive
scene. Every year the turkey if we'll
fattened and nicely dressed, will bring
good price.
