Popocratic Rowdyism,

According to correspondent of the
Meadville Tribune, an effort of some
country rowdies to break up Republican
meeting at Gspyville, at which Rev. Il. L.
Hill was the principal speaker, will be the
cause Of substantial gains for the party in
that district. Tho Tribune says: Several
Democrats ut the close of the meeting de-
money and protection, and were led to
this conclusion as much by the disrepu-
table efforts Of silverites to disturb the
meeting as by the arguments Of the

SiIverites Who Try to Conceal the Tariff
Will Soon be Answered.
What's the use Of discussing the tar
iff ~ was the reply of Candidate Sibley to
the request made by one of his hearers
that he SAY something about the tariff" F"
Thousands of people want Mr.. Sibley ''to
say something about the tariff, ," and yet
Mr.. Sibley remains silent. But silence
will not avail him. Fortunately he has
said something about the tariff" in the
past. In fact he has said good deal about
the tariff His record is clear his un-
finching devotion to absolute free trade
openly declared. He has not changed his
belief, he cannot blot out his record, moth
ing he can say can explain away the dis
tress and disaster which have come from
the first step toward free trade that he
voted for.
Hard experience has been a bitter
teacher, but a sure one. There is mo use"
in Mr.. Sibley's discussing the tariff. His
only hope exists in being able to turn the
attention of the country away from 1t, to
make a new issue, to have the people for
get his record. But they will not forget.
He fooled the voters once, he tried it two
years ago, and his attempt this fall will
meet with the same result-defeat.

It's just as we have said be-
fore-the reputation we made
last season for selling the most
stylish wraps and suits at the
lowest prices is bearing us a
rich harvest now.
There isn't person who comes
to this department who is not
loud i'll their praises of our stock,
and we are certain from what
they tell us and from what we
see ourselves our prices for equal
goodness are about IS per cent
less than others.
We have set out to get a tre-
mendously large coat and cape
business, and we shall get it,
because we shall deserve it.
Look about-the more the bet
ter for us-then give us half a
chance and we shall show you
how much we can save you on
your winters wrap-and how
much more stylish it will be.
