Back From Chicago.

G. T. Pitts, o. J. Hackney, Capt.
F. H. Gilmore, W. NJ. Ferguson and
E. j. Huerning are all back from
Chicago, and we believe they all came
back hOarSe. They proclaim it the
greatest convention ever held. The
crowd was great and the enthusiasm
unparalleled. Mr.. Ferguson went
over a gold bug and came back free
silver man. He said the gold bug
delegates told him that the craze
was about to capture New York,
that only for the influence welded by
the wealthy classes they would be
submerged all over the East.
The boys tell pretty good joke on
Col. Harry Lopez. He was in the
convention hall when Bryan made
his great speech on the platform.
Col. Harry Lopez is free silver Re-
publican, and was so elated, with
Bryan's logic and eloQuence that at
the close he yelled like a Sioux indian
waved his hat and shouted that
Bryan could carry Kansas by $4,000
majority" They say that he will
likely support Bryan.

John W. Haughey, Chairman Republican
County Central Committee.
Dear Sir: 1t is with feelings of sin
cere regret that l tender you my
resignation as committeeman OF Well
llngton township.
Regrets far more than these words
ordinarily used mean that the neces-
Sity should have arisen for seyerinc
my connection with the Republican
party. The party that for thirty
years l felt hOnored by being one of
its members. Nearly twenty-four
years OF this time was spent in Sum-
ner county. A party, a part of whose
record no man need be ashamed. A
party with the distinction that
among Its members were some of the
best and greatest statesmen Column
ola or the world has ever produced.
now after all these years Of pleasant
associations with many members of
the party whom l have learned to
love and esteem for their many good
qualities of head and heart to leave
as it were my own home, it seems
hard indeed, but go l must, let the
result Be what it will, time alone

anyone else. Should the single gold

but the reverse should be the case,
then indeed l would sincerely regret
the mistake made. On the other
hand should the theory prevail and
prove dire calamity to the Ameri-
can people, as | honestly believe it
would, then | would have the salts
faction of knowing that did not aid
In the cOnsumatiOn.
If the advocates of free silver are
successful this fall, and the results
following their success proves, as |
believe it will, great blessing to a
large majority of the people. l shall
have cause to rejoice knowing that
my vote and what little influence |
have will have been directed to that
end.
A person by charging his party
affiliations soon learns who his real
and pretended friends are. My first
lessons have been taken along this
line; revelations Of this character are
neither new or unexpected: we have
seen exhibitions Of this kind before
toward Others who had the personal
courage to exercise the right of an
American citizen to vote for and with
whom they saw proper.
| have often thought Of the state
ment made in the good book that God

must have been one of the kind that
can never see anything worthy of
cOmmendation in any other party or
church except the enc he disgraces by
his membership. G. W. BAILEY.

II believe the struggle

single gold standard, if sue
cessful, would produce wide

destruction of silver as mon

have a ruirous effect on all

those investments which

Those would be enormously
