A Strong Republican Club Organized.

The Republicans of the Third District
met in a large and enthusiastic meet.
ing at McAllister's School House We'd
nesday evening, October 7, and organ
lied "a strong Republican Club, with
w. G. Rector Chairman and Carl Wag-
ner Secretary. On taking the chair
Mr.. Rector made a spirited speech in
which lie told the club that a single
gold standard of value al the result
of the financial experience of hundreds
of years of the greatest nations of the
earth; that it was no new thing. He
said the best thought of the world for
a century had been engaged in study
ing financial systems, and gradually
had the gold standard of value been
accepted and adopted 10y all the great
nations as the only practical basis of
sound financial systems. He explained
that the double standard had been
tried by all Europe and never did work
successfully; and that it had been
given a fair and impartial trial here,
and under its operation the country
was continually losing the one metal
or the other. He said that silver under
that standard demonetized itself as
early as 1884, and fled the country.
He explained that fractional silver
was coined in light weights only to
keep it at home, and that gold was the
standard of value. the unit of measure
from 1884, and the act of 1878 only
made statutory what the laws of trade
had decreed forty years before. The
law of 1878, he said, changed nothing
but the letter of tho statute. 1t only
recognized the natural law which had
been in operation for almost half a
century.
AT the close of Mr.. Rector's speech
Messrs. Wilson and Casada were called
for and responded with eloquent
speeches in behalf of Republican prin-
ciples.
On motion it was agreed that the
club meet on Wednesday night of each
week from now until the election.
Every Republican and every lover
of good government is earnestly re-
quested to be present at each meeting
of the club.
