THE SALEM BOY.

In tears. with husky voice. he talked
To people OF his native town.
His childhood memories broke him up
And nearly broke him down.
He talked Of virtues that were drilled
Into his boyhooG's being there;
Of greatness, the first draught be got
Was breathed in SaIeni's air.
At railway towns and water-tanks
The curious gathered, as rule,
To see the tonguist who beslew
The Democratic mule.
And DER the country by the mile
He sirewed Ia talk that practice long
Had made OF oily tongue to flow,
Jus; like liquid song.
And people. having heard that voice
And started on their homeward walk,
Had this much satisfaction-they
Had heard young Bryan talk.
But what he meant or what he said
That, analyze d, would something mean
They couldn't tell. The Salem boy
Had Just been heard and seen
Wen ring a change November next;
Rung out will be that boy absurd.
Meath reasons sway the Salem boy
VIII not be seen nor heard.
And Salem schoolboys on the board
This simple maxim then will chalk:

The last Congress passed a resolution in
viting an International conference for the
free coinage of silver, which was to be at
tended by nine men from the United
States, three to be appointed by the Pres
dent, thres by the Senate and three by the
House. Cleveland ignored the resolution
and nothing was done. That is the Dem
ocratic record on the subject, and II shows
why International bimetallism has made
no progress under this administration.

anniversary this week by the publication

dents in the revival of memories of times
past. Mr.. Marriott deserves credit for the
high standard to which he has kept the
Ns.rs Letter, and his work in this regard
merits ell the success he has accomplished.

to have possessed a comparatively

as a place Of residence because Of the
