August Dreltenstcln and family, OF
bridgeport, returned last evening from
an extended trip through Canada, Gus
has all his life been u red hot Democrat,
ana even when the party declared for
free silver and everything else un. Dem
ocratic, he still adhered TO the party OF
his youth. But great change has
come over Gus. On his trip through
Canada he found that for the first time
IN our history our silver money was not
az good rs gpld and was only taken Mt
a discount. all on account OF the threat
cned legislation In regard to our stand
nrd OF money. Gus says he wants
nothing TO do with the party that would
debase our money and make Il subject
| TO discount every time he crosses the
boundary line. He knows these TO be
fncts, and VIII hereafter be found sup
porting what the PopocrntS choose 70
call the Wall street guild bugs"
Mr.. Kltson, OF tho state Republican
committee headquarters, and who had
charge OF the Republican booth Mt the
state fair. states to the Intelllgcncer
that Mr., Breitensteln was one OF the
numerous callers at the booth yestcr-
| day and confirmed the above statement
from the Martins Ferry paper. On be-
Ing presented with Mckinley and Ho-
bart button Mr.. Drcltenstcin accepted
the gift and expressed his determination
to work earnestly for the ticket and the
principles represented by the candi-
dates.
In his conversation Mt the booth Mr..
Breitcnstcln, who Is butcher and large
owner OF real estate In the vicinity OF
Bridgeport, stated that when no visited
Canada he took several kinds OF money
with him, including about 500 in sold,
nll OF which. with the exception OF the
| silver. he had no difficulty In getting rid
of without discount. He said that the
possibility W the success OF the free sIl.
yer party at the polls In November was
| great menace to our present and fu-
ture prosperity. and that during his
Journey through the eastern states he
found the money question the adj alb
sorhing topic OF discussion among busi-
ness men and all classes generally.
While Mr.. BreItensteln was in Canada
he noticed that In Montreal the street
car companies had signs pouted con-
| spicuously in their cars, containing the
following inscription:
American silver dollars will not be
received by this company after August
| 10. 1896"
This shows that IN Canada they are
| not taking the risk OF the election going
| for Bryan and the possibility OF the I'M
mediate depreciation of our silver
money. In Toronto. OF the same prov
ince. son OF Mr.. Breltensteln purchas-
ed silver half dollars OF the United States
issue for forty cents. Our gold. and pa
per money representing gold. passes
