we propose. The American Tcople will
be loyal to the nations money, will
stand behind it and maintain it at
whatever value they themselves may
put upon it. Once. before in the pres
ent generation have our people been
called upon to face a .nomentous
crisis. What, then, said Mr.. Lincoln,
the chosen leader of the plain people of
the land? Was he awed by threats or
weakened by the
Willy PERSUASION OF FALSE
FRIENDS
who pleaded for compromise with
wrong? His answer was If our sense
of duty forbids this, then let US stand
by our duty fearlessly and effectively.
Let US be diverted by none of these
sophiStical contrIVanceS, WhereWith We
are so industriously piled and belabor-
ed contrivances such as cropping for
some middle ground between the right
and the wrong, reversing the divine
rule and calling not the sinners but
the righteous to repentance; such as
invocations to Washington, imploring
men to say what Washington said, and
undo what Washington did.
Neither let us be turned from our
duty by false accusations against u.s.
Let us have faith that right makes
might, and in that faith to the end
dare to do our duty as we understand
it. We know what the nature of the
struggle is in which we are engaged;
we are anxious only that the people of
the land shall understand it-then Our
battle is won. Behind the strong en-
trenchment of the gold standard, are
gathered all those favored classes it has
fostered-the only dangerous classes OF
the land. Avarice and unholy greed
are there; every trust and combination
is there; every monopoly is there; led
by the greatest monopoly of all, the
monopoly Of
THE POWER OF GOLD.
With us, in our assault upon those en-
trenchments are all those unselfSh
men, who, not suffering themselves,
cannot rest content with conditions SO
full of suffering for others, and that
Vaster numbers of our people who have
been sacrificed to the smaller selfish
class, who now resist their attempts
to regain their ancient rights and
liberty. These are the patriots of 1895;
the foes of a dishonest dollar which
enriches 10 per cent of our people to
rob the rest, the defenders of the homes
of the land Of public morals and pub
| lie faith, both of which alike forbid
the payment Oh government OOliSe 1NiOAA7
in a coin costlier to those who have to
pay than the contract calls for; the
defenders of the honor of the nation.
whose most sacred charge is to care
! for the welfare of all it's citizens.
1.-THE free and unlimited coinage OF
silver is the sole remedy with which
to check the wrongs of today; to undo
the ruin of the past, and for our in
SEPARATION we have the justice of our
cause and those cherished principles of
Jefferson and jackson, which shall be
our guide on our return to power:
EQUAL and exact justice to all men;
absolute acquiescence in decisions OF
the majority; the vital principles OF
the republic; the honest payment of our
debts and the sacred preservation OF
the public faith.
PROFOUNDLY sensible of the high
honor of the nomination you tender,
am truly yours,

WHAT A LITTLE DOG DID.
Caused Bad Shaking Up to Conductor
j. Richard Moore.

Conductor J. Richard Moore Of the
Portland Railroad company has charge of
the first car out from Portland to River
ton. about 9. DO a. NJ, Sunday. Yester-
day his car on its first trip had passed
Morrills Corner and was going at high
rate of speed. Mr.. Moore passed along
on the running board to collect fares As
he put out his hand TO take o fare from
lady, little dog, that the lady had
with her made spring OF him. By a
natural movement he started back to
escape the dog just as another car was
coming from this opposite direction. This
car struck Mr.. Moore glancing blow
and would have knocked him under the
wheels if another lady on Mr.. Moore's
car. with great presence of mind and
strength. seized him by the collar and
pulled him towards the car, and thus
saved him from terrible fate.
Mr.. Moore sank down on seat and al
lie grew worse the car was stopped, a heck
procured, and the injured man taken te
his home in Deering.
{ A surgeon was called who stated that
no bones were broken but that Mr..
Moore had received tremendous shock,
and very serious bruises.

Z Mr.. Kingdom gwent back to Digby by
the steamer Prince Rupert and took the
ambegris to local druggist who, after

looking up the price list found that it

them to the wharf, thirty feet below.
The Denohuc boy had his spine fractured

WlLLIsToN CHURCH,
Rev. DR.. f. e. Clarke Addresses His Old
Parish.

There was a large congregation
gathered at Williston church yesterday
morning TO welcome Father En-
deavorer" Clarke their old pastor, who
had arranged to fill the pulpit both
morning and evening, the last times that
he will be heard before starting on his
long tour around the world this week.
The text was from Job KILL, 5. 81
have heard OF thee by the hearing of the
ear, but now mine eye seeth thee. MIR.
Clarke said that this is one of the verses
which opened to the observanS eye q new
world. AS the discovery of electricity
opened new continent to the inventors
genius; as the n microscope opened a
new world of Uncomfortable wonder; SO
such verse as this opened new creation
by declaring it to be possible for man
to sse God.
The preacher regarded the event here
described as the crisis of Jobs life. BY
his troubles and Affections, through his
shortsighted friends and his complaining
wife, through the thunderstorm and the
tightening flash, he had heard of God in
a dim. remote way; but now he was
brought face to face with his Maker. now
he saw God.
The sameoris is comes in every Christian
life Il changed jacob the supplanter
into Israel, the Prince Of God. When
Thomas Nally saw Christ as he was, he
exclaimed ''My Lord and My God. ;"
When Saul was arrested on the way to
Damascus by the binding light from
heaven. he saw God, and he was no
longer Saul, the prosecutor, but Paul the
apostle.
AS examples of these men who had
gained his spiritual insight, Mr.. Clarke
Cited Brother Lawrence, George Muller
of Bristol, and Ishii of Japan.
This insight is possible for all. Every
man may see God What are the results
of this vision? 1t shows the hideousness
of sin. Therefore / nbhor myself and
repent in dust and ashes.' said Job. 1t
makes prayer real and vital When we
see God we seek not things but God, and
are satisfied with nothing less. 1t makes
of the Bible a new book. 1t fills the
whole life with a song. AS the West :
minister chimes Of London ring out eyeTy
fifteen minutes the air, know that my
Redeemer liyeth;'' 50 to the man who
has seen God and looked into his face,
every church bell and every rustling leaf
and blade of grass and singing bird is
joyful with the glad refrains, II know, /
know that my Redeemer iveth. In my
flesh / shall see God

Sudden Death of I. l.. uuinby.

Mr.. /. Frank Quinby, the 2l-year old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Qainby of
mechanic street, Westbrook, dropped dead
while resdingl on the piazza of his home,
saturday, just before noon. He was sit
ting On chair apparently as well as
usual. When his mother went to call
him to dinner she found that he had fall
len from the piazza, and rushing to his
slde, to her horror, she found he was
aasping for breath. Before she could
give him any assistance he was dead.
The young man had been suffering. from
rheumatism for the past year and was
subject to fainting spells. 1t is believed
the rheumatism had affected his heart
and that death was due to failure of
that organ. The deceased was graduate
of the Westbrook High school, class of
1884, and was one Of the first Of his class
in rank. Since graduating he has been
prevented by poor health from pursuing
his education further. His sudden death
was great shock to his host of young
friends, among whom he was favorite.
The family have The sincere sympathy
of all. The funeral will be held at his
late homo, Mechanic street, Monday af-
ternoon at 8 O'Clock.
