A dispatch from Huntingburg to
the Evansville Courier OF Saturday
last says: m
HUNTINGBURGH, Aug. "14.-The
soldiers reunion closed this after
noon, after three days pleasantly
spent. The attendance yesterday
was estimated by good judges to be
8 900.
Four hundred veterans were
registered by the adiutant,. which Is
the second largest number attending
a local reunion in southern Indiana
since the return of the "boys" from
the tented field. Every effort had
been put forth by the various COM
Imittees to attract a large attendance,
and the rssult was grand success;
Everything passed of we'll and
all left the grounds satisfied. -
\ Capt. McCutchan, OF Evansville
gave his experience in the battle o1
, Chattanooga, c which was interesting
and instructive.
Col. G. r. Kellams gave bre'
,Ihistory of the forty-second regiment
..Ifrom the date of the muster to thu
close Of the war.
The colonel, who was promoted
e all along the line, from lieutenan
$ to colonel, was frequently cheeret
during his talk.
J, J. d. Armstrong delivered one o
l,lhis usual patriotic speeches. Sew
e eral songs by the w. r. c. an
'el veterans and general handshakin
vel closed the exercises OF the fore
= noon.
N In the afternoon Gen. Pavy,
:. Illinois, made speech Of two hour
q; duration, in which he fought n
III war over a second time, and PAID
~ handsome tribute to the soldiers.
RS Aside from the political colorln
ne his speech was full Of excelleI
Us thoughts. But due allowance W
m made for his political innovation !
ne those who have heard him on 10
e, mer occasions.
10 Huntingburg citizens may We
heI feel proud of the success OF II

wo particular, and those who attend

ior soldiers who were in attendance

Senator-elect Foraker, in q speech
delivered at Columbus, o., Satur-
day, said: "The reason silver dol.
lars are maintained at par with gold .
Il because silver dollars and every !.
other form of United States money
are redeemable in gold"
This is a point concerning which
the Record has received many. let
tiers asking Tor information.
The silver dollar is not directly
redeemable in gold. No law can be
found on the statute books contain
ing any such provision" The green.
backs and coin treasury notes issued
under the Sherman law OF 1890 are
Iredeemable in "coin," which the
treasury department interprets 70

and is not redeemable. in anything

ton, which will serve to keep linn

The Hon. A. Guthrie, proprietor

the immediate restoration OF the
free and unlimited coinage OF gold
and silver at 16 to was signed by
the representatives Of all, or nearly

and presented TO Congress. Wage

difficult to obtain possession OF th'
dollar; they know that employment

A manufacturer in this city who
was a single standard eo!dite, con.
cluied that it would be good
scheme to pay off his employees in
gold. He went to the Bank where
he keeps his deposits and through
which he transacts his business, and
asked for gold to pay of with. He
was informed that he could have the
gold, but must pay one per cent
premium on it. This was but Q
week ago. The manufacturer saw
the point. To-day he is an out-and

KoKoMo, Aug. 16.-A most pro-
found sensation was occasioned here
to-day by a letter in the Dispatch,
written by w. r. Ward, the treas
urer Of the republican county CEN
trail committee. He resigns the po-
sition because he cannot support
the st. Louis platform, which he
denounces in the most unmeasured
terms. He declares that II is vi
cious and in the interest'of the rich
against the poor.
Mr.. Ward has been a lifelong
republican and one of the most &C.
tive workers in the party. He de-
clares that he will vote for Bryan
and free silver in November.
Among other accessions to the
BRYAN cause are John B. Carter and
his son, Henry B. Lowe, ex-city

The Saloon. the Despot Of Politics

The saloon Is a mighty and men

ballot-box, in the executive char,
in the court Of Justice, in the law

dealers are thoroughly organized,
