The republicans of Union county pro-
pose to give a rally on Friday evening

A special train will be u from Ha-

POINTS OF VIEW.

Reviewing Bryan's speeches the New
York World says. I'm brief, with all
his marvellous output of rhetoric In
these lightweight speeches, he has not
shown why any honest and intelligent
man should vote for him, or in what
way calamity and national dishonor are
to be averted il he is elected"
Saws the St. Louis Globe Democrat:
'sIt would be mighty hard to disprOve
the epipram in General Harrison's
New York speech to the effect that
business never was disturbed by the
prospects of republican success"
The Philadelphia Record (dem.) sees
slim comfort for Bryan in the Vermont
election and says: ut is evident that
MANY democrats in Vermont followed
the advice Of their distinguished fellow
citizen, ex-Minister Phelps, and cast
their votes for the republican candi-
dates, as the representative OF sound
money. Other democrats did not vote.
This result prefigures what may be ex-
pected to happen in every state In the
Union in November. The betrayed
and indignant democracy will settle DC
. counts with their betrayers."
The Boston Herald notes OF the DEM
{ cratic situation: 1.-THE returns from
! Vermont indicate that several thousand
I democrats went to the polls and voted
I he straight republican ticket instead
{ Il staying at home or voting for third
candidates. They appear to have re-
garded this as the best and surest way
to rebuke the leaders of their w par.
ty and to help the cause of honest mon
e,y. Their example will no doubt will
he followed by q great many democrats
throughout the country in November"
The st. Louis Gl0be-D Democrat, COM
|menting on the true inwardness Of the
Chicago platform, says: Free silver
alone wonJd be misfortune enough, but
the accomplishment Of other results
promised by the Chicago platform
would be infinitely worse. Therefore,

thing in their power 70 prevent the tri.

OF Vermont and the alleged devotion
of farmers to free silver, the Baltimore
Sun remarks: Vermont yesterday
went republican by a huge majority,
and figures being Of a record breaking
character. Free coinage at the obso-
lete ratio was showed under Vermont
is an agricultural state, but the farm
ers there seem to take no interest in
the debasement of the currency. DO
they take an interest in it, with COM
parative unanimity, anywhere except
in Kansas? That remains to be seen.
Orators make lots OF noise before cleo
tion day, but the greater the buster
the smaller the result. Not a few per-
sons are of opinion that by the time
November arrives it will be found that
the free coinage idea is not the farmers
idea at ALL"

COURIER, regarding the action OF the
noble 46 OF the Beresford convention.
1t should 60 down in the history OF
Union county that the combination In
the Beresford convention, whose slate
was made up the night before the con
vention, went through ~unbroken, until
the office of county Judge was reached.
We noticed a few of the noble 46 leave
the hall-we seized the opportunity
and spoke for Nat Kirk, the only man
on the ticket who received an honest
nomination, as he was o slated by the
Ring. But we heard certain members
of the ring promise the Beresford con-
tingent that Nat would be pulled of
the ticket and the place given to their
man, which we expect will be done.
You see it would be just in line with
the balance OF the proceedings. You
seemed surprised and made some re.
mark about honest reform, you seem to
forget the fact that our Reform Band
Wagon" Is overloaded this fall. You
must expect it to wabble from its true
course through the combination.
1t is possible that this deal may become
! known to the true and honest voters
and the republican bacon yet be saved,

A savage. Contempt For Clothing.

The Kafiir's contempt for clothing is
the occasion for a nuisance against
which the inhabitants of the eastern
portion Of Cape Colony used often to
complain. Now, it seems the people Of
Buluwayo are suffering from a similar
grievance. a few inches Of leather flap
pings grit about his loins satisfy his
ideas Of everyday dress. The Matabele
Times holds that this attire is altogeth-
er insufficient and suggests that the
sanitary board should take up the sub
1ect and prohibit Kaffirs from coming
into the town unless they are properly
clothed. So does civilization" slowly
make way.-Westminster Gazette.
