shameless partnership with depravity

this most infamous OF all political or

that the slums of New York go wild

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Recently the

LOUISVILLE. KY. Sept, e6,-Gen-

Republican party. of which he was one
of the founders, and has declared that
: he will vote for Palmer and Buckner.
General Clay was candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor
in 1887, when General BucRner was
nominated by the Democrats. In an
interview today he said; Il have al

reason am opposed to Mckinley, The
election of Bryan and the passage of q

of folly, and if consummated will end

INTRINSIC VALUE.

If you lay a gold dollar on the anvil
and hammer it out OF shape, it is still
worth 81.
If you do a silver dollar the same
way, you hammer 40 cents out of it,
and it is worth its bullion value only,
or 81 cents.
Gold loses coin shape, yet loses no
value. But silver loses coin shape and
loses nearly half its value II is wise
