A Communication from bourbon Shows
the Drift of Sentiment There.
Editor INDEPENDENT T.-Dear Sir: |
accidentally picked up copy OF TIE
INDEPENDENT of Tuesday, fpril !. and
noticed the article, Why We Are Iii
metallists," and your reference to the
letter of one Ii. Zimmerman, secretary
of the League of Robbers at New
York, to their co-laborers at Chicago,
and your request for the reader to be
honest with himself, etc. The article
III question should be published pam
phlet or tract form and scattered broad
cast over the country. | also noticed
an article in today's Chicago Record,
an open letter from ex-GOv. Fishback,
of Ft. Smith, Ark, to President Cleve-
land. You must read it and refer TO 1t
in your paper Both this and your
letter of Zimmerman would make
spendid campaign documents If placed
in the hands of reading, thinking
people.
We have lots of determined bi-metal-
lists, deserters of both old chronic gold
bug parties in this neck of the woods
and who do not hesitate to talk right
out in meetin'; men who have been
affiliated with both old parties, and red
hot partisans, but who have become
tired of the dictat;on of party leaders
who call us cranks, fools, illusionists,
ETC., for the simple reason OF our un-
doubted right to exercise our candid
and sincere privilege to think and act
for ourselves Oh, no; we quit right
here and will do our best to have a
change at headquarters. The egotlsm
of Cleveland to imagine himself as
popular with the enlightened people of
this great country as Diaz, of Mexico, Is
with his semi-barbaric greasers.
But enough for this time, you will
hear from me again.
Respectfully, ETC.,

Severely Burned.

John FOgle is one of the men who
handles the molds that construct the
handle bars at the Cycle works.
The bending process is done by heated
sand at very high temperature. Fri
day morning while at his work, the iron
plug which confines the sand, blew out
throwing the hot material in his face
and on his neck and breast, burning
him in horrible manner. At first il
was thought that his eyesight was de-
stroyed; but when he was removed to
the Office of DIR. Knott, where with the
assistance of DIR. Kaszer thorough ex
animation was made, the direful effect
was found to be less dangerous.
While lie will in all probability be con
fined to the house for long time, yet
the attending physicians believe, ne vii
not lose his eyesight although the GOV
ering of the eyeballs was destroyed
1t is truly marvellous escape. The
greater portion of the sand seems to
have struck him on the neck and breast
which are blistered badly.

BUTTONS ARE IN POLITICS
And the Craze for Campaign
Designs Is On Us.
THE DIFFERENT DESIGNS
CriSp'S a Neat Wreath of Southern
Laurel G0rman'S Is Tin, in
Red, White and Blue.
THE DIFFERENT DESIGNS
Downright, 1896


A few days before the Benjamin. Harrison
wedding political club. having for its
object the nomination of another member
of the same party as Harrison, and fearing
Harrison's strength, began to circulate
small buttons bearing the inscription: g.
Benjamin Harrison is not my man.
To this the Harrison Society in that
town promptly produced buttons size
larger than the others and made of better
material. Upon them was the mystic iu-
formation:
-'B. IL is all right
These buttons were worn by the me mbers
~ the lapels of their spring overcoats and
were shown with pride 10 all who passed
by
The making of the political button for
campaign purposes has become SO much of
All industry that for many months III emanu-
facturers have been getting ready for
turning them out. once in four years they
devote their time exclusively to the political
butUoninduStry.
The campaign button proper does not
come To light until after the nomination for
the Presidency in June or July. But long
before that you may see political buttons
upon the coats of enthusiastic politicians
who have gotten them out either to boom
their own candidates. or TO show later what
political prophets they were.
MAKING THE BUTTONS.
The manufacture Of the campaign hut
ton is conducted in a peculiar way by those
who make business of gettingit out. They
provide designs for buttons .or almost
any candidate that may be nominated. They
viii have buttons for Reed Mckinley
Allison and Morton: and buttons for Hill.
German, Carlisle. Crisp and Olney. Be-
sides that. they Will have blank ti:i;tons in
which any other name may be inserted in

itself, has been designed by an artist who
is busy day and night upon buttons for diff
ferent candidates and societies. His plan for
this button is to make it of tin, with the
red, white and blue enameled upon it.
The circle around Gorman's head is white,
the lines upon it blue, and the lettering ia
red. The stars are white. Germans head
is outlined i'll black.
A Southern artist, whose designs are
found upon many useful as well as ornate
buttons,-h has produced; a neat celluloid but
ton for Crisp, OF Georgia. 1t has been
ordered manufaetured by "a Southern po-
litical society Its design, Crisp Bears
Our Laurel Wreath is delicately told by
a branch of green. The celluloid is
stamped with black, and except for rim
of blue and red.s one running inside the
other, the button shows noehint Of the flag
which is supposed in one way or another
to be upon all political devices.
BUTTON COLLECTIONS.
Reed is right in it, is the announce
ment upon a large flat button with Il por-
trait of the Maine man in the middle. This
is of a white metal with Il blue center.npon
which the face Of the Speaker appears.

is made is an interesting thing for those
who sec the little button mysteriously cir
Cuated and wonder where it comes from.
Take That button OF Allison's that has
appeared on the streets. How did il come
