THE VILLAGE AND VICINITY.

Samuel Walling met with quite 8 se- were accident, the first of the week, while engaged in harvesting oats. While load ing for carriage his assistant ran a pitch fork through one of his arms, making quite an ugly wound. He was taken in a carriage to Dr George Staub, who dressed the injury and it is hoped that no serious results will occur.
 The weather of late has been so catch ing for farm work that many farmers took advantage Of getting in their oats on Sunday, much against their wishes, no doubt. They felt that they must improve their opportunity of making hay when the sun shines"
 We were pleased to see the genial face of 5. c. Shaw in this place, making a short visit among friends over Sunday.

SOME WORLDLY MINDED PEOPLE GOT IN
 THEIR HAY, SUNDAY.
 The past two weeks has been catching weather for drying hay. Last Friday 8 great deal of hay was cut down to get up Saturday. The rain disappointed farm CTS. Most Of the hay lay out until Mon day before it got dry. A few world ly minded people dried and carted hay in on Sunday. It was custom seldom put in practice in New England by those ola fashioned farmers. Most of them were close observers of the weather and they never cut grass the last of the week to get up and cart on Sunday.

There several other assumptions in Mr.. Bryan's
speech that deserve analytical consideration, and
which The TIMES will during the progress of
the campaign The main thing to be regretted is that
Mr.. Bryan did not explain how the country is to be
flooded with money under his administration in what
way the authority of the Senate is to be obtained for
the enactment of free silver law He could become
public beneactor by answering these questions without
unnecessary delay The fear that the country about

MUSIC FOR MR.. BRYAN.

Local Ratification Committee Strikes
Very Embarrassing Sna&.
The Bryan ratification committee, which
is composed of the Central Democratic
Colnmiltee and other Democratic reHe-
sentatives, has struck sna8 in the matter
OF music fer the demonstration.
Tie committee met last night, Mr.. John
Boyle In the chair, at the Hotel Meyers.
where 1t had long discussion on music and
money. II has been the understanding that
the band for the occasion would be
Weber's. 1t was stated. however. at
the meeting that there were nom union
men in WeGer's Band, and this caused the
discussion.
The Marine Band was also discussed. and
as the general idea Of the committee was
TO have music in unlimited quantities, II
was suggested that both bands be EN-
ployed. This proposition did not carry
After being assured that all the members
OF the Marine Band were uriion men, the
whole matter was recommittcd to the COM
mittee on music to make the selection.
The finance committee reported salts
factory progress.
One OF the coinmittee said that it was
understood now us q positive fact that
Mr.. Bryan would come TO Washington, and
perhaps Mr. sewall. The understanding
OF the Committee is that Af. Bryan has
placed himself at the disposal Of the
executive c0inmittce when appointed. It
is also understood that Senator German
will be chairman of the executive committee
and that, therefore Ar. Bryan's cunning
may be anticipatcd as a fact.

The Hon. william Jennings Bryan ex-
pected to stampede New York audience
as he did the Chicago convention. He
didn't. Instead-Of being exhilarated, they
were bored. A little was enough for them.

appearance of this new man of borro wed
ideas, many took their hats and weDtaway.

A hasty reading reveals the fact that
Mr.. Bryan has in this speech substituted
reason for rhetoric and based his claim
to the suffrage OF the people upon adroit
argument rather than impa ssioned ofatory.
Mr. Bryan makes IL clear, to start with.
that he stands squarely uEOn the Chicago
platform. But he seeks by Interpretation
and protestation 10 remove the impression
that the platform means. in its depart
ure from traditional Democracy, what 1t
has been generally accepted as meaning

enemies expected it would be. Those who
