advantageous terms We give. and the
fact that We allow more for old squares

In, and is the largest stock In town
consisting of the exquisite Columbian
style, the elegant Colonial style and

rarest Of woods
The Bradbury touch-the touch re-
spoDsible for that sweet, expressive
tone 50 dear TO singers and players the
world over. is unrivaled while the
everlasting durability lies IN the high
quality of ITS parts.
II you want TO rent a piano instead
Of buying one. We have the largest

moment and exploded each word with
a dynamite OF voice, winding up with
the story OF the the Marengo lad say

finale. Praise God from whom all

county; one man from the First dis
trict, M. e. Wood. who denied coming
here for any such purpose; Rev. i. w,
Babb, of Washington City, private sec
rotary to Congressman skinner, who,
hi consideration of an endorsement by
the Republicans, has promised to do
ali he can 70 bring the Populists into
the Republican party; and a few other
Republicans who are pretending to be
populists. This rump concern, repre-
senting only a few oflice-seekers, gives
it ont that il appointed comlaittee
Is confer with the Republican leaders,
and that an agreement had been made
fer fusion on the terms proposed By the
Republican Executive committee.
On all sides yesterday, the Republi-
cans said; 1.-THE Populists have given
up to us. surrendered and come to our
terms. They will accept what we will
give them. We have made arrange
nlents with their representatives and
the thing is fixed now, and Butler, the
Progressive Farmer and the Caucasian
can come along or not, just as they
please" The Populists may or may
not fuse with the Republicans. 1t is
a matter of no concern to us, but the
pretense that there was a meeting of
Populists here this week is the greatest
fraud of this day of frauds and shams.
The little coterie of otfice-holders pre-
scented a farcical fiasco- only that and
nothing more.
