DEAR SIR.--YOur very encouraging
letter received and it stimulates us very
much To receive such letters as yours
when we only have To step just outside
the store door to hear some 10 to oner
blowing off steam on Michigan giving
Bryan everything from Saugatuck 10
Saginaw, but Michigan seems To be all
they are claiming at present and the
only bets that are offered by them is
that Bryan will carry Nebraska; but
from conservative standpoint, we, as
republicans, are at loss to find out
how they figure it that way. | send
YOU few figures of the last election.
The populist stroLgholds in \ Nebraska
are in the 9TH and 9th districts, which
are located i'm the southwest and north
west part of the state and people must
remember that hundreds of covered
wagons have left that part of this state
since November, 1894. | came to this
state many years ago and built me sod
house and cast my lot with hundreds
of others and know whereof | speak,
and just you remember that Bill Bryan
will not get his own (Lancaster) county
and our (4th) district is composed of
eleven good republican counties and
we will not be called to surrender more
than two out of the eleven TO the man
who is doing more in the East to drive
capital away from the state of Nebraska
than all the hot winds and grasshoppers
that God Almighty ever permitted to
poster us, and the people of Nebraska
will rise up in one mass in November
and rebuke this calamity bowler who
has to-day caused the American silver
dollar to sell at a discount when not
under the shadow of the American flag.
To-day we have one of the largest
corn crops ever standing on our fair
prairies and every stalk that waves and
bends in the golden sunshine j. a pledge
that the honest farmers of Nebraska
are going TO pay every cent at mort
gage ever placed on her fair soil.
Every one of the thousands and thous-
ands of hogs in this state, now fatten-
ing in the yards, will show and prove
to Mr.. Bryan that he can't surround
their fat neck and brOws with his
crown of thorns-neither can he brand
the sleek and glossy steers, now roam
ing over the fields, with his cross of
gold. They have promised to bury
IillS Tain Va iNPu"I"I'Oh WIN IhS'i JhoV
worth in gold when they surrender
their flesh To the ever ready markets of
the world, and when Mr. Bryan gets
through discouraging those who are
already in debt, we will then see IA re-
vival of business, as no one man can
stop the wheels of industry any length
of time. Everything now looks as
though the republicans were sure of
this state. Bryan had more strength
ten days after his nomination than he
has ever shown since. Hoping to hear
from you again | am,
Very Respt'y,
G.. b. PALMER

A GREAT CONVENTION.
Twenty Ballots Necessary tn Select Re-
publican Legislative Candidate in This
County.

The republican legislative conven-
ton for Van Buren, County met in
LongwelPs opera house in this village
yesterday, pursuant to the call prev
iously published in the NORTHERNER.
AT about IL o'clock, j. {. McFellin
of Pine Grove, chairman of the legis-
lative committee, called the conven-
ton to order and named Hon. Milan
Virgins of Bloomingdale as temporary
chairman. ID. l.. Dillon of Paw Paw
was chosen temporary secretary. Adj
journment was taken then till 1870, as
the train from the west had not arrived
and several delegations would not be
present until the train came.
After dinner, a committee on creden-
tials was appointed, consisting of the
following gentlemen: ;. NJ. Trowbridge
of Geneva, j. e.. McFellin of Pine
Grove and o. w. Rowland of Paw Paw
They made report showing full dele
cations present from all towns except
Decatur, which was one short A. T..
Anderson of Columbia, John Mutchler
of Bangor and T. W. Smith of Decatur
were appointed tellers and the temper
airy organization was made permanent.
Nominating speeches being called
for, Ezra Hayden presented the name
of l. p. Bates of Antwerp, John Cross
presented G. G. Phillips of Bangor, ia
son Woodman presented A. w. Hayden
of Hamilton, Will Roberts presented
Geo. A. Cross of Lawrence, b f. Heck

onds were also made. The first ballot
being ordered resulted as follows
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-09-02

Opening our minis to the free coinage
of silver would undoubtedly tend TO
raise the bullion price OF silver some
what; but the continuing large produc-
ton of silver, with no new demands for
silver In Europe, would soon cause de-
cline in its value again. In 1890 the
greatest silver combination ever known,
ramifying from the London bullion
dealers all over the world from the
United States To India, with enormous
capital behind IL, following upon their
successful passage of the Sherman act
of July IA, 1890. in this country, sue
ceeded once in raising silver TO 81 .21
per ounce. And then what happened,
The greatest collapse and fall in value
of silver ever known. From August,
1890, che ratio being II .26:1) silver fell
exactly to one-half its value in March,
1898 (the ratio being "a 36;l).
In short, the action of several coun-
tries, each trying TO do what Mr.
Bryan thinks the United States alone
can do has signally failed TO raise the
value of silver. One country can no
more stem the tide which caused the fall
in value of silver than man can swim
up against the Niagara rapids. India
alone has taken more than 5000, 900,
900 of silver since 1878, and yet that
has not sufficed to keep silver at par
with gold,-even when the United
States was also taking similar amount
in the same period If India and the
United States together could not keep
silver at par by creating double the de.
mand now possible under free coinage
by the United States alone, how can it
be done by one of thems-"Would
American Free coinage Double the
Price of Silver in the Markets of the
World?-the Negative View" by j..
