The campaign was opened ut
Rayville, in Morehouse parish, last
Saturday, with an old-timc barbe-
cue. There was large crowd in
attendance, and Senator elect 5. D.
McEnery made an eloquent speech
in favor of free silver. Referring to
the charge Of the gold bugs. of DIS
honesty and reputation, he said !:
''Your debt was CONTRACTED under
the Law Of the land, paw able in the
money of the Cons Tuition, which
was gold, silver or lega! tender
notes. at your option. What right
has the COVER ament to make q con-
tract for you that you never made !
When you had the right to pay in
silver or legal tender notes, what
au.D GRITTY has the government to say
that you shall paw upon gold basis.
which appreciates every year At the
rate of 2.O4.
"Wherein is the private dis
honesty in asking that you pay your
debts in the money IN which you
agreed to. pay it? On which side is
the robbery? l say emphaticallv it
is on the part of the creditor, who
insists that you shall pay him twice
the amount you owe him.
''There are obligations Of the
government payable in coin and y
less amount payable in gold. Coin
means silver or gold. What right
has the government to discriminate
in favor Of the creditor, and say
that when his obligation Is made
payable in coin it shall be made
payable in gold alone? Wherein
consists the public dishonesty in
compelling tue national creditor to
rec .ive what he has contracted to
take!"

Sundays windstorm seems to have
passed on both sides of us, reports
showing that it was much more serious
both north and south. At St. Cloud
the pumping station lost its tin roof,
several mokestacks were blown down
and a number OF buildings damaged.
South Of US the storm was preceded by
a hailstorm but luckily the aerial ice
wagon exhausted its supply before the
wind struck and the damage will not
be great.
