Silver.

The Whig after giving very fair and
intelligent resume of the silver strength
of the country as reflected in the senate
concludes the speculation or hypothesis
thus:
cit may be easier to elect Republican
President this year without the votes Oh
the silver States than with their votes, as
the price of a double-faced platform,
fashioned by financial jugglers."
1t may be impossible Ito elect Repub.
1ican President at all. And such result
grows every day more apparent If the
silver strength unite-and the signs
steadily increase that they will-there will
be no ghost of chance for the Republi.
can party to elect gold bug president.
The only show apparent at this time Of
that party getting the president is by
throwing the election into the House.
The party has not the popular vote to
elect president, that is too apparent for
any intelligent person, if honest, to deny.
The present Republican House does moi
represent the sentiment of the country
but protest against Cleveland and his
democracy which is anti-silver.
A "double- faced platform is very sign
i6cant. That is the kind of platform both
old parties have used for several years.
The Wing appears to have reached the
conclusion that the "double-face" has
had its day and must be sent to the limbo
of worn out political trickery like the
'bloody shirt" "force bill'' and other art
full lodges, and the Whig is right for
once.
The last presidential election would
have been decided in the House had
Harrison been running. But he wasn't
running. He stood still. Weaver's 20
electrol votes would have sent the election
to the House had Harrison made anything
like race. The 'double-faced platform
juggle was worked then for all it was
worth by both parties. Harrison was the
open enemy to silver. Cleveland's party
swore on every rostrem that they were
for silver from first to last. They lied,
but the people believed them, hence
Harrison's awful defeat. On fair vote
the country is for silver five to one if not
more so. Every party and every candi-
date that opposes free coinage in future
must go down. The very stars in their
courses fight against them. The tumbling
fortunes and blight of poverty that spread
over the country are against them. The
enemies of silver have been convicted,
sentenced and the executioner is coming
Shylock, prepare to meet your fate.

To Name sprineaeld's Four Hundred.

To Name Springfield's Four Hundred.
1t has been seven years since Blue
Book was printed, and in that time there
have been many social changes. Some
have dropped out of the charmed circle,
some Of the buds have developed into
matrons, while others are still serving
as bridesmaids. And some of the pie
beians have acquired property or gained
culture and are knocking for admission
at society's gate. All that is needed is
official recognition. We need a Blue
Book, the stars to indicate the grade of
patricians. 1t will be we'll for the COM
piler to remain unidentified until the
book has been published, and then, as
in the previous case, to promptly leave
tewn-to go far away and stay away.
The Price 6 Lee company, which has
been compiling dry and accurate direc-
tories of Springfield, has the temerity
to announce that it is prepared to CLASH
fy Springfield society. The preliminary
circulars are out. Now is the time to
get into line il you want three star
grade in the armament of the Four
Hundred. The Blue Book enumerator
has not started on her rounds yet. En-

The little daughter of Mr.. Fred Weber,
Holland, Mass, had very bad cold and
cough which he had not been able to
cure with anything. I gave him IS
cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, says w. P. Holden, merchant
and postmaster at West Brimfeld, and
the next time saw him he said it worked
like charm. This remedy is intended
especially for acute throat and lung
diseases such as colds, Group and whoop-
ing cough, and it is famous for its cures.
There is no danger in giving it to children
for it contains nothing injurious. For
