RAINY TWILIGHT.

Oh. put thy hand in mine, and Wen take the
road together.
With gold tie west is dappled above the
rainy hill,
Yct raindropa hiss upon the twiss in token Of
foul wcatler
The twilight is deserted; these haunted ways
are still.
But who with love and youth would hesitate
to follow
This lttlo cart track running through su
macs to the scaI
Sweet is tho veil the rain has made for love
in every hollow.
The gay winds kiss to beauty thy happy face
for me.
Each wheel rut is Il pool to glass the lea1ess
thckcts
Tho dry reeds clash like cymbals or sway
like men ut war;
Into the dusk ~ rabbit carts; in antiphons the
crclIets
Weave happy songs to shatter the silence
they abhor.
Wide, inaccessible, there lies tho solemn level
OF darkcned meadows stretching unto the
oceans rim.
Scanned with the winding waterways wherein
shy creatures revrl;
Tho meadow hens brood near tho slow tide
waters brim.
The spray from off the sea blows salt across
our faces.
Thy brow the cool rains kiss; thine eyes with
lovelight shine.
What bits of happy song we sing! What laugh
ter haunts these places,
Thrilled with tn" far surf's thunder, damp
l. with its sweeping brinel
The strong gales buffet us; the rain hosts fight
with lances,
With leveled lancas set. against us ride in
vain.
Far and forgotten now is grief: no care with us
advances.
Our ray gods haunt alike the sunshine and
the rain

There is tremendous interest in
the speech of acceptance of candi-
date Bryan, the Talking Prodigy of
the Platte, soon to be delivered in
New York city. Aside from the
marvellous flow of words expected.
it is hoped the young Nebraskan will
say something that will decide the
question as to how some thousands
of voters will cast their ballot next
November. They are waiting for
little more satisfactory uttcrance
from him than the speech delivered
at Chicago, which. while it appealed
strongly to the emotions of excited
delegates, appealed less to reason.
Bryan has got to give the people
something more substantial than
grand stand plays if he wishes to ac-
complish anything for free silver.

DR.. J. Henry jackson should have

man whose nomination was gift, not
an honor purchased and won in de-
hancc OF the will of the majority of

Major Grout's management of state
affairs will be any improvement on
former irresponsible administrations,
and begging vote for him on the
usual plea of purer politics sounds
much like a mockcry to men who
have a memory and are familiar
with political affairs in this state.
EX-Prcsidcnt Harrison has not

Republican campaign managers are
yet waiting for Il word from him.
The story is that he was recently re-
suestcd to make speech on the tar

question, and that he intimated that
in his opinion the currency was the
vital issue and that he did not pro-
pose to be dictated to. anyway. The
anxiety of some of the Republican
bosses to obscure the currency ques-
ton shows Il mighty lack of shrewd-
ness, and they are losing sound
money votes by their tactics.

ness in the vicinity. He learned from
Architect Gerlach that striking clocks
are not now considered to be the best
style and that the silent clocks are
the most popular. Property owners
were divided on the subject, but while
some did not fall in with the idea at
once, none wanted to appear as oppos-
ing it, and tue following names were
secured as not opposing striking
clock: Jno. Klein, J. G. Roller, o.

There are some who were not seen
who oppose the striker, but probably
the majority of our people favor a
striking clock if it will strike only the
hours and not have chimes.

A WESTERN CONVERT.

The speech of Congressman Nc
Cleary against the free coinage of
silver, in which he so plainly and
forcibly pointed out the evils that
would result therefrom, and at the
same time knocked so many of the
fallacies which the silver monometal-
lists are INDUCING in, is proving a
most effective campaign document,
and already note of its good effects are
beginning to come in from the hun
dreds of thousands of copies that have
so far been circulated. And the de-
mand for it is increasing every day,
and one of the most pronounced de-
mands is from residents of the So
called silver states. Mr.. McCleary re-
ceived letter yesterday from Mr..
j. f. Crawford, editor of the Saratoga,
Wyoming, Sun, telling how it con-
verified him, and changed his paper
from free silver to sound money. Mr..
Crawford says:
have quite recently read your
speech in the house of representatives
in answer to that of Towne, and it has
had the effect to entirely change my
views on the money question. The
Saratoga Sun, of which l am the
editor, came out for ''free silver" in
1892, and l have been ''whooping it
up" ever since, but | want to ''whoop
it down" a little now, and to that end
| want you to send me about 25 or 80
or more copies of your speech, to do
missionary work with. confess that
l have been considering only one side
of the question, which, after all, is
the custom of men, bat it is never too
late to mend. The one thing l regret
is that | have taken such prominent
part in this matter.

THE Revieao, in speaking of the
unprecedented bolt of the Democratic
papers, admits that while the list is
formidable, they are principally in
the eastern and middle states.
Either the ReUie,o has not taken pains
to post itself where these boiling
papers are located, or else it wilfullY
misrepIesents the facts. There are
at the present about seventy five
Democratic papers which decline to
support the Chicago platform and
nominees. Twenty-Five of the num-
Der are located in Southern states and
seven in the Western states, total of
thirty-two, leaving forty-three papers
in all the middle, eastern and New
England states, including Illinois.
The ReUieeo should be more honest
with it's readers than to try and mis-
lead them as to facts so susceptible of
proof.

MINNEAPoLIs, July 16.-The free
silver convention met in Harmonic
Hall this morning. There were about
300 delegates in attendance, and while
a large percentage represent the cities
of Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth,
there is fairly good representation
from the country,
While awaiting preliminary ar
rangements Congressman Towne was
called upon for speech, but he not
being present in the hall, Frank Nye
was brought forth.
In order to get out as big crowd
as possible, the convention met at
the exposition hall this afternoon.
John Lind will be endorsed for Gov
ernor, but as to what action will be
taken in the matter pertaining to
the national ticket cannot at this
time be foretold.
