ore many members who believe that free
coinage would do more hdrm than the
civil war, and these sound money sem

for days and days TO keep on such a law

Frye said that if he couldn't make u long

The worklngmen put the Democrats in

they have had very little change since.
lLaughtcrt)s Senator Frye then showed
how In tho last twenty years working
mems wages had Increased in gold
standard countries and went down In
the countries on silver basis. He
mentioned the frlghtfully low wages
paid for a days work to mechanics and
l2borers' in' the silver standard countries,
and In these same countries commodities
had been going up In price while wages
mad been going down.. Merchants can

The speakers graphic story OF how Gar

'runs on the ladder OF fame, aroused the
audience to wild enthusiasm. He stated
that Davis and Faulkner, West Vir-

free silver. though really against 1t and
were selling their birthrlghts for messes
of pottage,. But the pottage would bea
minus Quantity after November 3.
He closed with complimentary refer
enccs to the West Virglnians he had met,
and n glowing tribute TO Senator Elklns,
which 1t Is needless to add, was roundly
applauded. Senator Frye was then
driven to Pythlan Castle, where he made
another address. sii
Pending the arrival OF Senator Elklns
from Pythian Castle, Mr.. G. B. Gibbons,
Of Parkersburg. addressed the audience.
He had many funny stories at his COM
n|nd, which coupled with his clever
scoring Of the Popocrats, kept the crowd
In good humor. When Senator Elkins
was ushered on the stage he met with as
ilattering a reception as when in the
afternoon he spoke in the same hall.

that President Lincoln Is said to have

The watch is nothing If it is not methodical

steadfastness makes it not loved of women
as men love it. They like 1t as an orna-

can go without a watch with no sense of
incompleteness in their lives, whereas a
